Day 4 of asking for f-22 vs su-25 frogfoot

[@jimw8016]

Raptor vs frogfoot? Wouldn't that be alot like cat vs grasshopper or dog vs chicken?

[@MississippiKid96]

More f22 stuff

[@Kookamungaah]

Tomcat vs Tomcat

[@hkguitar1984]

Congrats on the 500K. Great flying, who was in the F-15 Seat today?

[@TimelyAbyss]

I love how the F-14 always shakes and rattles like you are flying a barely held together jalopy.

[@twixxtro]

shes a bit shaky

[@stealthbrawler]

She's just a little excited, but she always delivers!

[@fubaralakbar6800]

@@stealthbrawler It's designed to give you that good old F-4 feeling. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Flying on a wire, not fly by wire to be sure!

@fubaralakbar6800 can't know if the girl is enjoying herself unless she's weak at the knees as I say!

and thank you guys for 500k subs you guys are the best. Grateful for you all.

[@savagehobo8427]

No problem it was really hard lol

[@knifeduck5336]

Happy 500k man enjoy it 😊

[@onedsc1]

You deserve it - keep it up and 1M will be next :)

[@robertcrawford3926]

Enjoy this! What a milestone.

[@Kerflappadoodle]

We are grateful for you!

[@ObiWanShinobi917]

Damn. Eagle hit a one in a million angle to be perfectly obscured by your cockpit bow, and was able to slide all the way over you while being out of your FOV. Crazy lucky but also good on him to see his opportunity and capitalize.

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

I think the bubble canopy and helmet mounted sights are both significant improvements to SA.

[@n.w.1803]

The F-15's very handy 'disappear switch'..

[@kaydenchan7093]

@@n.w.1803I guess we all know what the stealthiest aircraft is 😉

[@Backseatercomedian]

Hey man, you’re in many people’s opinions; one of the best fighter pilots in DCS, your skill is unmatched by most, you’ve worked hard and done well to earn this. Congrats on 500k!

[@gwcrispi]

I wish they had a rating system like in chess. It would be nice to see when/if he's going up against people on par with him.

[@God_is_in_the_details]

It's astonishing how well US fighter platforms from the '70s have aged.

[@ell8711]

late '60s :D

[@AlwaysAwesome001]

It's 4th Gen vs 4th Gen video. What makes it age well? 🤔

[@whatsyours6424]

Indeed the F14 and MiG29 are legendary planes

[@stillmanfischer7978]

The F15 is from the 70's too.​@whatsyours6424

[@skillsInRemission]

Thanks for all the great videos @GrowlingSidewinder, that last kill is one of the reasons I have grown attached to the F16. The visibility really does make for a different experience.

[@HelmetedMute]

9:17 Never seen someone pop flares quite like that before.

[@LionessPurpose]

Neither have I, I don't what flares those are though....

[@sergio_81]

Funny

[@Grilled-Cheese-Obama-Sandwich.]

The missile knows where it is but should've lost completely where the f15 is.

[@kuhnville3145]

@@LionessPurpose flares are essentially IR (infrared) missile countermeasures. so basically if an IR missile is shot at you, you pop flare and hope it confuses the tracking of the missile. basically OP made a joke

[@brucewelsh1969]

"Treat him like a flanker", you get cobra'd... lol

[@the.true.mjdavis]

That seriously looked like some sort of bug in Round Three... F-15 teleport ability!

[@karelpgbr]

That third round is definitely going in the next "moments of death" video, absolutely perfect move lol

[@brandonproctor3639]

I’ve started using my F-14 a lot more lately. I’ve had it for like 3 months and barely ever used it. Man, i was missing out!! She’ll work the hell out of you but she always delivers!

[@extrabingo10]

Big congrats on 500k! You deserve it for your dedication and hard work. Keep it comin!

[@God_is_in_the_details]

Have you considered porting in the audio from your opponent? I realize it would completely change the fight dynamics and the nature of the VO, and is not realistically pure (which I normally frown on 😮) but could be an interesting variation occasionally. Mutual deceptions, yes, but perspectives and reactions bouncing back and forth.

[@An0beseGiraffe]

The F14 was one of my first modules, I found it very frustrating to fly but you kind of have to give it respect for it to let you unlock it's full potential. Getting good in the tomcat is one of the most rewarding things to do in dcs

[@Keckegenkai]

that a-pillar of the cockpit completely killed you in the last one lol

[@GatorAaron]

Well, Round 3 he definitely did something different. Talk about the perfect moment you are zooming into your sight and miss the upper peripheral due to screen limitations. CONGRATS ON 500K GS!!!! 🎉

[@kekelaward]

Congrats on 500! Great job! Keep it up. Call out to your entire crew.

[@Tuuvas]

lmao that F-15C Houdini at the end there. That would be a neat callsign change.

[@spongememefunnypants9101]

Congratulations on hitting 500k subs! One of the few channels that I still follow to this day and watch them as their channel grow.. Its somehow nostalgic for me to see you hit 500k subs since it gives me memories of the times when you are still below 200k subs.. so yeah, congratulations! Hope you'll channel will one day hit 1 million subs

[@PhillipJohnsonphiljo]

Huge congrats on 500k, completely deserved with your excellent videos. Make sure to celebrate it man!

[@Jesters-Jinx]

Its VERY impressive that the fight got to this point.

[@fightingcorsair7297]

Congrats on 500k. My nephews and I enjoy the heck out of your videos.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thank you very much, please extend my gratitude to your nephew, appreciate your guy's support. Much Love.

[@lombardfortsoniii8124]

I rewatched the last kill a couple times. Felt like there was a glitch in the matrix

[@HelmetedMute]

2:51 In the business we call this foreshadowing

[@Shoeg4zer]

Its interesting that the F14 can hold its own given the F15 has extensive use of composites and lacks the 14's heavy duty (naval) construction and 2 seats. Gratz on 500k!

[@pkpnyt4711]

it's more about the pilot than the plane, specially in this case. Let GS handle the F15 and watch how he would dominate against the F14. Pilot is more important than the plane in this case.

[@000-z8n]

@@pkpnyt4711 Yeah, the only place the F-14 really stacks up at all with the F-15 is here on the F-14 fanboy channel. Don't get me wrong--I like the F-14. But there's a reason it's a museum piece while the F-15 is still the backbone of the USAF. GS loves the F-14, and he outclasses all his opponents. But there's really no comparison between those aircraft.

[@simpinainteasy1916]

I love watching you make that Tomcat dance. It just goes to show that it was an absolute mistake for decommissioning the Tomcat Program. American engineering at its finest. I can only imagine how deadly the pilots that flew Tomcats day after day were. As much as I like the P51 the Tomcat will always be one of my favorite aircraft of all time. The things you can make that massive aircraft do is just unreal.

[@702BattleBorn]

Yo GS, CONGRATS on 500k. The community enjoys the time you take to produce quality content. Nice Puking dogs squadron choice. One of the slicker color schemes. Thanks again for another Cat vid. Have a pleasant day. Cheers.

[@jeremyortiz2927]

F-14s really like to let you know you're pushing the envelope with that shake.

[@stepheno21]

I always watch your videos with so much envy. I’l stick to flying rubber dog s**t out of Hong Kong in my 747’s haha. I put in so much effort into trying to get better at A/A but I’ve hit my talent wall. You make it look far too easy. Top notch as always and a big congratulations on the 500k sir 🫡

[@heathb4319]

Did you hit the talent wall or just get stuck in a rut? Do you need to change your approach to flying? Maybe switch to a lesser piece of equipment to help you think outside the box? I'm sure you got plenty more talent brother. Good luck.

[@chrismaverick9828]

Curse that canopy rail! That is pretty much pure accident as you cannot expect that pair of motions between the two aircraft, but damn if he didn't just disappear on you. :D

[@JP-fx4ki]

Congrats on 500k. You deserve it, hard work and dedication prevail every time. Love all your content my guy!

[@edwardjohansson2909]

I bet Jester kept sight of him through that whole manouver, was almsot expecting him to just punch out before the F15 started shooting :D

[@bitmanagent67]

@GrowlingSidewinder You are killing it!!! Congrats on the half mill subs!!!

[@javieriniguez1444]

The Tomcat Eagle fight is always entertaining. Especially since McDonnell Douglas tried pushing a navalized F-15 to replace the Tomcat. Great fight as always.

[@loocius]

Would've Liked To See A Tacview Of That Last One.

[@major_kukri2430]

And thats why dogfighters like the F16 lack a conopy bow.

[@CalebZA]

Almost like he knew exactly when you would lose him in your canopy bow. Congrats on the 500k subs!

[@SilverbladeDagger]

Congrats on the 500k! It is very well deserved considering the content you make and the fun you have with all your "prey". 😁

Every one of your videos is a masterclass in BFM, regardless of the aircraft. Congrats on 500K subs - well deserved.

[@vexingrabbit1824]

I love cat videos.... The F-14 is no exception..... love seeing a really good pilot using the Tomcat.

[@WalkerKlondyke]

Fantastic stuff! Congratulations on 500K!! I'd love to see video of you flying your setup. I move around like I'm in the cockpit just watching your videos, I wanna see what you're doing while making them.

[@hercavotica]

Me too! have a small vid on the side or something. We're just curious.

[@cpa2132]

Absolutely NEVER get tired of the Tomcat love. Love seeing him smoke planes in a Tomcat

[@Lucas-ys7gl]

I would love a video with a view of your stick, throttle and rudders so we can get a better idea of how you are manipulating the aircraft. Or an input overlay, that’s probably easier but could help a struggling player like myself.

[@Nero-Caesar]

Congrats on 500k would love to hear what you'd improve on the sim sometime I have my own thoughts

[@thisbumguy9876]

I love turning up the volume on the clips of the aftermath with each fight, the rumbles of the tomcat makes my headset go crazy aha like at 5:19

[@tsuhobbs]

That Eagle glitched out of the Matrix for a second. HA

[@kcmsterpce]

Been watching since you had about 50k subscribers. I can't believe how fast you went from 200k to 500k. Amazing! Your videos are awesome. Congrats.

[@tobymartin3416]

Your axiom statement took me back to geometry class in high school. Totally forgot about that junk.

An air of icy detachment as he wields the rapier. The opponent says he missed. Try smiling he says.

Love the sound of the F-14 shaking and rattling.

[@kenhelmers2603]

Congrats 500K!!!!! You deserve it buddy

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you as always Ken you’re much appreciated.

[@mrspecs9211]

Can you do some more dogfights in both fighters? For example you start off flying the tomcat vs the eagle, but then in round 2 fly the eagle against the tomcat

[@jimw8016]

Exactly what I was gonna say! As long as YOU GS have mostly equal time in each bird, The switch would take out pilot skill as far as pointing out the pros & cons of each aircraft

[@ArcaneActual]

Love the last kill. The timing was impeccable, definitely racked my brain a little

[@AndyAttrition]

Congratz to HALF A MILLION Subs! I doubted there are this many DCS-fans in the world. ;D

[@itsdirtycivilian2U]

LOL, he pulled the famous Maverick move on Maverick!

[@natf5869]

That round three move was slick, but GS still got the best of him. Another great video, keep them coming.

[@heathb4319]

WOOO HOOOO!!! You hit the 500,000 mark. Good job Sir. You have earned every one of them.

[@Psych3Zenobia]

So glad you picked the Cat to celebrate 500k subs. Congrats and on to the next 500k!

Awesome video GS and congratulations upon reaching 500k subscribers!

[@drummerdc6155]

Your skills are ridiculous lol. The only time I’ve seen you in trouble was when you were fighting that fighter pilot from France. Love the videos!

[@walpolescrew]

I was hoping he’d look down at the end to see the devastation his crashed jet created.

[@plumtube01]

Where'd he? Wait, where'd he go? Where DID he go? 😂😂

[@grisslebear]

4:47 - How'd you get your "GS" initials onto the HUD? THAT'S SUPER COOL!!!

[@2020Max1]

If I'm not mistaken that's actually G-5 meaning Gun selected 500 rounds remaining.

[@firebald2915]

Ironic, but fitting. Watching him navigate all of these various aircraft with such skill has been the best two years of entertainment and education I've ever had. 500 thousand subs is a great milestone to reach. I share his site all over the web and publically, guys with military T-shirts and ex military guys I meet. They hardly believe these videos aren't real when I show them on my phone. Congrats GS, for all the hard work developing High Quality Content.

[@kristopherbrowne5306]

3:50 to quote Rooster "it's not the plane. it's the pilot"

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @GrowlingSidewinder! Can't wait for the next video man! Congratulations on 500k subs man! Here's to another 500k and many More Dogfights in the F-14B Tomcat, P-51D Mustang and F4U-1D Corsair man! What about a Eurofighter Typhoon against an F-15E Strike Eagle?

[@KergylKraft]

That first kill was really just GS activating the eagle's afterburner.

[@Maxdady01]

Congrats on 500k! You deserve it, excellent content.

[@wrighttherealist1109]

This is why I love the viper bubble canopy

[@Hello_there_obi]

In the last one, the F15 took a leaf from Maverick’s book and hit the brakes to let you fly by 😅

[@dsm3759703]

I miss some of the Tacview analysis. Maybe not on every video, but it did often give breakdown education to us aviation enthusiasts

[@thehistoryexpert82]

I love the black and blue paint scheme on your F-14, you should keep it

[@paulgebhart1413]

Why does the F14 always seem to buffet and shake when in a turning dogfight? Its that a characteristic of that plane? Do other fighters also have this problem?

[@Lee-sti8wrx]

Great last kill for him. Nice play. Awesome vid as usual mate, keep em coming. And love the longer videos.

[@grisslebear]

11:17 - WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!!!! AIN'T TELEPORTATION NOT ALLOWED?!?!?

[@ericp.]

Congrats on the 500K subscribers!

[@bacon81]

Congratulations on 500k subs. Another great video. Thanks

[@gonzalez198123]

Be careful what you wish for. You wanted the F-15 to do something new and he pulled a ninja move on you. Congratulations on 500K GS.

[@kennethhicks2113]

Great ending! 3rd person vs 1st person is like a different reality!

[@Xunek.]

I guess the cobra is now the eagle's move!

[@sleepingninjaquiettime]

The old jam on the breaks and hope he lacks awareness trick huh. Got him.

[@RightWingNutter]

Looks like he did his best imitation of a Cobra to get behind you that last time.

[@ShovelMonkey]

1) Cats *always* play with their food. 2) I want to see a tactical debrief on that last fight.

[@CaptainBiggles.]

My grandmother was looking at this video from a distance while I was watching it. She asked, quite correctly, "is he in the cockpit?", and then when i had confirmed that was so, she asked "is he going to the moon or something?" 🤣🤣

[@cjthomas4102]

The last fight reminded me of when Maverick snuck behind Hangman in Top gun Maverick. Anyways awesome video, love the Tomcat and that Pilot body just looks so cool for whatever reason

[@pale_2111]

That F15 pulled some houdini type shit in the last round.

[@thedeejlam]

If only Jester had Mk. 1 Eyeballs and could help in a dogfight... oh, wait... he'd be more like a patched-up pirate if anything in that case.

[@hooviedoovie5220]

He pulled the old rip a wing to decoy the fox-2 trick!

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Interesting video. These what if videos plotting USAF and US Navy planes against each other is entertaining for sure. Have a full out Country vs Country series - take all of the military power's of each vs the other.

[@reyescastaneda9384]

That f-15 doing somewhat of a cobra maneuver was pretty lucky even tho the sight view was ruined

[@nikospitr]

bravo for the 500K. You deserve it!

Knowing he'd be following me down through that cloud deck I would've went back up and rolled around back down while he's looking around down there for me lol
