On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

what would be a cool video of me seeing you escorting bombers (any American bombers would be fine) during WW2, either you playing as a P-51 or a P-47, or you playing as the Germans. (and yes, I've been watching masters of the air.)

[@darrinakins4981]

New here and loving it! I haven't seen much so you may have touched on this. Are there any aircraft in your opinion. That they discontinued but shouldn't have?

"Strapped up for air-to-air" Love the slang! Interesting to here how you lose datalink ID! You scared me when you said, "I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead". Thanks for that F15!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I’m not sure what happened with the datalink but I think it was more of an awacs issue then a me issue. But I’d be open to hear what other people say.

[@truthseeker9454]

""Strapped up for air-to-air" Love the slang!" Me too! I learned a new one today - 13:05 "I'm pretty sure an F-15 came in there...and just schwacked that MiG-29 off my tail." 😆

[@charlesrichardson8635]

@@GrowlingSidewinder The way you had to change into close range to tell who you were shooting at was interesting. The other jets seem to be getting closer for fights, too.

[@bluecaptainIT]

Question: isn't the IFF button there for these situations?

[@davidweeks1997]

My understanding of the F16 is that it lives at the limits of physics, given the material science of the time. That's a hard limit.

[@LDSG_A_Team]

F-16, F-18, Eurofighter, F-35.... There are a lot of insanely good multi-role fighters.

[@kasper_429]

F-15, too.

[@LDSG_A_Team]

@@kasper_429 some variants of the F-15 have some multi-role capability, yes. But the F-15 is far more heavily designed to be a dedicated Air Superiority Fighter, not a multi-role fighter.

[@kasper_429]

@@LDSG_A_Team Yeah true, just like the 16 was designed for primarily air-to-air/dogfighting, and then adapted into being a multi-role fighter.

[@traviswalker8933]

​@@kasper_429 the production variant of the F-16 is a multi-role platform. The same can't be said for the F-15. The F-15E can be a good air to ground and CAS platform but it's air to air capabilities suffer as a result.

[@RT42069]

​@@traviswalker8933the F-15EX though, I've heard (surprisingly) that it is an absolute demon in a dogfight

[@unklewillard6402]

I would love more POV of the warhead if you can! Following the whole flight of a missile from wing to target is so great. Bonus points for the red arrows on the target when we can't see due to KZbin compression! Love the content, GS.

[@vtownjester]

I just love the vape cones coming off of the Viper.

[@BumpyLumpy1]

It's extremely impressive how you memorize all these aircraft. good work dude!

[@DoradoFever]

Once you learn one with similar style systems, others become easier to learn.

[@BumpyLumpy1]

@@DoradoFever that's true, but i still find it impressive.

[@zwaster1]

Props to GS for sharing the missions on the latest few videos. It's awesome to be able to play the same scenarios and try different approaches

[@KG98.]

Used to work on this exact aggressor in AK for three years. Looks great in this

[@Lee-sti8wrx]

That was an insanely cool video man. Not often do I hear you stressed about being shot down lol. You usually say you are ok, then die 😂 go the TGP. Absolutely love these mission videos man. Love em.

[@akwild83]

The F-16 has always been one of my favorites, also that camouflage on your Viper looks amazing

[@oliverlarsen6768]

The F-15E/ or the new F-15EX is the most versatile of any combat fighter in my opinion. Most true for the latter because of electronic warfare capability. The Eagle platform has the highest payload, and the high pylon count and range makes it efficient in larger missions. It is very good at everything apart from stealth. But there is reason to believe that stealth is less important because of how good radar technology is becoming, rendering stealth aeroplanes less useful in normal warfare as of now. This is due to change and will probably be fluctuating back and forth forever almost infinitely until stealth is limited by material technology.

[@midnightbluevt]

I can't be the only one who can't help but read "F-15EX" as "F-1SEX"... can I? Guys?

[@firebald2915]

All Time favorite aircraft ! HotRod of the Air. You do more multi-role in the Viper than in any other. Like that gun run on 2 SA sites. That was sweet !

[@Biznatski]

Dig the livery on that Viper, very cool.

[@OzzyRampage]

Can’t wait until the F-4E module comes out so we can see F-4 Vietnam missions

[@williampremo2197]

Considering the f16 is an older aircraft, it can still perform very well and in some cases better than others

[@rocksolid1976]

I really like seeing these larger scale missions with a lot of friendlies. It feels more legit. A four ship here, a four ship there, GS doing his Wildman thing over there...

[@JPsTechReviews]

I am digging the F-16C videos.

Awesome video, keep it up! If it were me, I would make this the channel trailer! Love the A2G content.

The Fighting Falcon always was/will be one of my favorite fighters. Light, agile, jack of all trades.

[@mcmanawt6057]

Hey, I think it'd be cool if you'd put small notes in like the bottom of the screen to give a brief description of keywords, i.e Fox 1, 2, 3, Magnum, etc. for people who may not know what it is. I know you have a video going over this, but I think it'd be neat or somethin idk

Isn't that typical: When you are convinced you will get hit any second by a missile, It does NOT happen!!

AWESOME!! Loved every minute of it. The F-16 will never be retired. Neither will the F-15 or the F-22. Like everything else the Air Force owns...everything has a place and a roll, even the F-111 Nighthawk is still flying. See you on the next one GS.

[@kk1gamer657]

I cannot recommend your videos enough to my friends even tho they aren't crazy about jets like me 😂

[@BenjaminTVogt]

Makes me wonder if the F14 would have been a good full-on multi role jet… it could do air superiority, interceptor, ground attack… what if it had the ability to do SEAD?

[@barbarossa1234]

Would like to see the Gripen doing this mission.

[@pju28]

Hi, is it possible for you to create some kind of tutorials with breefing tactical manoeuvres of F4, F16,f14A-B,…. The advantages and disadvantages. You did in the past at the end of the combat a tactical breefing. I would appreciate it very much! Thanks in advance!

[@neg7713]

Can you make a video on the STOL/MTD version of the F-15? I think its really cool and you should try it out.

[@upstategearheads]

Should run the same mission in the Strike Eagle and compare!

[@krflies9840]

That F-15C must’ve been flown by Hangman

[@radostinmarinov4538]

The F16 is great, but I think the F35 is the best multirole fighter built to date

[@Cuccos19]

Please make some Mosquito "interdiction" mission, striking high value target, including "SEAD" (hitting AAAs), than some air to air engagement too. I'm curious how small flight of Mossies could do this kind of mission (a pair or a flight of four for example). Thank you! :)
