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.

Can you do a double dogfight Like 2 F-22s vs 2 Su-35s, that would be really interesting

[@lazyturtle97usmc]

That's one hell of a helicopter pilot

[@chug4083]

Would you consider doing videos on older Sims featuring DCS planes, such as Flanker 2.0, Jane's Strike Eagle, FA-18 Korea or A-10 Cuba?

He makes anything he flies look like the best fighter in existence. He wipes the floor with Sukhoi's and MiG's when he flies NATO planes and he wipes the floor with F-16's, F-18's and F-15's when he flies Warsaw pact planes. This guy just knows how to dogfight.

[@pell9538]

You just gotta know the strengths and weaknesses of what you're flying. GS understands how to use the 27 perfectly, tho if the enemy had an awacs it'd be significantly harder.

I definitely enjoy the RedFor videos. It's nice to see something outside an F-Series jet being played in these videos. Keep it up.

Ma boy GS just dodged a war crime right there. 14:08

[@austinhall6083]

These objective based videos are so good. Last 3 have been so much fun to watch.

[@shi_towndownsouth7736]

Was wondering if either A: Do a video on the typical eastern block missile load-out and what the design purpose was/is and vice-versa for the western side. Or B: At the beginning of the engagement, do a brief specific showing of the missile load out and what they would be most likely used for. Im just always curious about the armament being carried

[@antoinelemoine9222]

great video and a bit refreshing, the Flanker can be very versatile And Electro opticals are very useful, some of the century aircraft had had these but i don't know why they didn't really kept making jets with them Russians never stopped using them, pretty much all modern European jets have one (Typhoon, rafale, Gripen) It just seems weird to me. Electro opticals can litteraly replace the radar at short/medium range (depending on the weather and the performance of the EO) without warning the bandy It can even tell the range with a laser, but most modern jets have laser warning systems so they can still be warned by their RWR

[@PeterDolan]

My understanding is that it’s very hard to make an EO system stealthy.

[@corwintipper7317]

The F-35 has an EOTS

[@tanmaysingh267]

The electro optical system in rafale can track targets at the range of 90km in good enough weather

[@antoinelemoine9222]

@@PeterDolan you mean stealth shaped ? The F35 have one under it It’s possible to shape the glass around the EO in a way of making it stealth And the F16/18/15 are not the kind of aircrafts that are stealth, they would actually benefit from it

[@antoinelemoine9222]

@@corwintipper7317 indeed but between the f101/aircraft from this era to the F35, to my knowledge, not a single American aircraft had one F18,F16,F15,F22 etc… no EO

“That poor guy just detonated in the sky like that”: PTSD Also GS: *laughing*: That was so unfortunate

For me FC3 is still the best first Mod for DCS. SU-27 is still my most flown and the plane I get my most kill's in EOS and IR missiles FTW...

[@Levexter69]

RIP Huey crew, you were the best dogfighters, just not in the correct vehicle to do it 🤣

This was a very cool mission. Was quite impressed with how well the Flanker could fly when it was so heavily loaded. I bet it felt like a hog.

[@JRjaime97]

Every plane you're on is a monster. Good work!

[@Theawatson10]

I was fully expecting the F-15s to come out of nowhere and smoke you while you were in a two circle with a Huey 🤣🤣

[@mahamajones2994]

Never bring a Huey to a flanker fight😄

[@Cameron0214]

Imagine if those Huey's were Cobras/Vipers instead. They would have had sidewinders on them for just that type of occasion, would be interesting to see something like that.

[@stanwolford9743]

Perhaps the most successful Russian sortie in the modern era.

[@weasle2904]

If they had actually been modern F-16V and FA-18 super hornets with the AIM-120D (which significantly outranges the newest R-77-1) it would've been a different story. Once AIM-260 comes into the picture Russian fighters will have a hard time winning any engagement at all.

[@spurto]

Good for you for not shooting the medivac helicopter 🚁 with the Red Cross, good to see sim pilots observing the Geneva Conventions

[@lordisback1947]

That was an hard job, and it's a answer to those who say why Russia has big fighters because you can do multiple jobs with it. It doesn't matter how many hard points you have but how much load you can carry on each of those matters

[@ege5804]

Just as i was having a shitty day, you posted a video about my favorite aircraft. It is easy to forget that this thing was the sole thing that caused serious panic in United States during the time they developed the F-15. HMS with such AoA at low speeds was nothing to ignore. It is absolutely insane that Flankers are semi-fidelity mods and you just did complete justice to it. Stunning fighter with serious capabilities. It is in fact, my favorite to pick and fly. Your channel gets better and better with each upload and that has been a rare sight on KZbin for a long time. Thank you for the top quality content.
