nice video !

[@Cgtam7]

can you please fly the Mig 21 bis?

[@jaconbits]

Congrats on the sponsored video

[@alejandrodeleon9330]

Hey growing to use any different shaders than the standard ones? Your visuals look breathtaking and I just wanted to know how you got them.

[@PK-pl2lb]

We want to see battle between Tejas vs JF-17

[@adbell3364]

Longshot: "I got one on my six, chasing." GS: "They're both on your six chasing." LOL!

[@Kelgo102]

There’s a lot more pressure when you are trying to save your teammate

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Agreed.

[@AimlessJourney]

especially when he sounds like hes g-straining for his life

[@jillybooty]

Really liking the doubles dogfights. There's more communication and strategy required

[@mlbyoungboy9756]

The Mig 21 might have the most character of any module. It tries to kill you in every way possible, and I love it!

[@59cvlpekhlua75]

Maybe the AI use a russian way of thinking, like being too angry to die(attack of the dead man)

[@koishily]

"Aerial Dark Souls" indeed

[@allhandmaker]

In reality, this is exactly the case. In the fictional one invented by the pindoses, F5 is cooler !!!

[@Aidy]

It's fights like this that prove that dogfighting is way cooler than BVR

[@christianm1533]

Sure. But IRL nobody is going to go: "Wait for the merge please! You rude bastard!"

[@59cvlpekhlua75]

@@christianm1533 oh come on, shooting at the merge thats so uncool. If i make out of this fight im reporting you🤣....as you said with the invention of missile and bvr capability dogfighting would be a rare occurance

[@Robert53area]

@@christianm1533 he has also prove multiple times that BVR is not perfect either. He shown plenty of times to close the distance against multiple BVR enemies. And shown that BVR can take multiple if done right. So just saying BVR works everytime isn't accurate. Or they will wait for the merge. Some enemies will force the merge.

[@ascherlafayette8572]

@@Robert53area If you do your job right in bvr you should almost never merge. You might get close but a merge is bad. Also bvr is way more advanced in real life these days

[@christianm1533]

@@Robert53area : It's pretty accurate. In reality you have a fleet either defending or attacking on your side. You'll almost never ever get ordered to go head in until last bullet unless all other opportunities are spent. Fighters and pilots are scarce resources. You don't spend them on a whim. In reality, merges almost never happen. GS plays them because it's the style of the game, not because it's reality. It's exactly why the F-35 is designed the way it is. You can't force a merge for guns and short range missiles if the other side still wields something like Meteors. And usually you'll sling your last shot, light up the engines and go full speed for cover, hoping he will follow you into SAM range or buddies. A Meteor has up to 3 times the kinematic range of an AIM-120D. The no-escape zone for a Meteor is about as large as the 120D max range. Now all of this is pretty moot. I love watching the dogfights, but it is what it is.

[@anddino1560]

Ya boi growling sidewinder got a sponsor congrats

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thanks buddy I appreciate the love.

[@mcpvbrowning1994]

WOOOOO

[@usmctien]

Best part is that my uncle flew F-5's during the war and until the end for the VNAF when they ran out of fuel and munitions. I had another uncle who flew A-37 Dragonfly's during the war as well, until they ran out of fuel and munitions.

[@PedroFelipeOliveira23]

I didnt know that in Vietnam Era pilots used to have mobiles ahahahaha 06:46 Hugs from Brazil, Growling-boy!

Ahah I like to pretend it was an RWR sound.

I read this in the voice of rolf from Ed Edd n eddie

Your videos always make me realize how dirty my phone display is...

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Lold

[@CMDRSweeper]

Nah, KZbin makes it harder for you... I often can't see the contact or keep track of it in some of the videos. Often I wish we would have a red circle around him that KZbin couldn't screw up in the compression algorithm...

[@thefrenchtransit3236]

Damn I subscribed a month ago and I’m addicted

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Glad to have u here boss. Glad you’re enjoying the videos.

[@oscar7513]

Same!

[@StaleCrony]

4:35 that was beautiful.

[@dioad1739]

I felt your pain GS trying to save longshot we can’t have him end up a burning hole I love this shit.

[@itsjustyas7724]

your videos are the reason I got into dcs, purchased a few models and now i'm addicted. Keep up the great videos!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Glad I could help bring more people into DCS.

[@SladeN514]

This is totally a nice representation of this anime Area 88 and it's battle scenes.

[@koishily]

Please do more dogfights with a wingman, I love the new dynamic having to communicate and strategize both WVR and BVR

[@gizmophoto3577]

Digging the multi-ship fights. Keep 'em coming. And I was happy to see you're getting something from ads for your efforts.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

thank you man, really cool to see people supportive of the channel getting some recognition. thank you all for your support/motivation.

[@DMScholfield]

Your friend seems to be suffering the effects of G-force from his computer chair

[@LongShotChannel]

VR.. higly recomended

[@kenlv1980]

Yeah i can even hear the Chair Stressing out cuz of the G's

[@Boolag01]

That moment when you’re pulling hard G & your mother texts you.

[@LentPanic7]

YES!!! I’ve been waiting for this fight for a while!

[@yueqiwu4457]

mig28 vs mig21

[@jillybooty]

This is how the NSA gathers intel

[@88denji]

That was one of your best videos, so intense! I hope we get to see more of these! Although I'm afraid you're going to have a hard time finding many real people to fight against, you and Longshot are just too good 😉

[@FlightDreamz]

Gotta love the after combat "debrief" @16:31 NICE GUNNERY! D@mn! God shooting Tex! ;) Good stuff. "My" NY Islanders hockey team are losing to their rivals tonight so I came back to this video. Was not disappointed.

[@baniexplores]

Hey man I was watching one of your old videos it’s nice to see you improve slowly with your great content your vids help me understand the game a bit better too( keep it up)

[@sebastiannikkolas8497]

GS: "Send it" He's the man of culture lol

[@tflspitfire]

awesome video. could you do the reverse role (you in the migs) in round 2?

[@aztec0112]

Impressive rolling scissors in Fight 2! Love the teamwork, something often missing in DCS combat!

[@thedubstepaddict3675]

You need to do this with human opponents! This is awesome. Also with the 1975 Mig 21 Bis with the R-60s is more Angola-conflict than Vietnam isn't it

[@g43654]

The F-5 is such a fun little plane. I think if people were asked to draw a jet fighter on a piece of paper, most would probably draw something that looks like an F-5.

[@dan725]

NICE YOU’RE GETTING SPONSORS NOW! Super stoked for you man!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you Dan, Much love buddy.

[@shannonnezul4903]

Good fights man. This is one of my personal favorite fights to hop on and fly, migs can be very dangerous, but the freedom fighter just feels so good to fly.

[@BadAtWarThunder2006]

Good video gs! Congratulations on the sponsorship!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you brother much appreciated

[@benh745]

Love it! Really dig these wingman fights! Next up, 2 Vipers VS 2 Mig29s?

[@jasons9564]

The Dogfight/Resume Search Switch is super helpful in the F-5. Its the only way I've found the radar useful haha. DG is for guns and DM for missiles, if I remember correctly. It helped me so much when I figured out how to use them correctly. Hope this helps someone out thats learning the F-5. Lol. Loving the new content btw

[@avramnovorra]

I wanna see more double dogfights man! It's certainly a good rush of adrenaline especially when you have a teammate to help out.. Now im already seeing you in an F-4 lols.. Nice one GS!! 👌👌

[@alangarnto873]

Man alot of pressure trying to protect buddy.hell of a job sidewinder.god bless and stay safe brother.thank you for the videos.

[@TIEpilot918]

I love Mig-21 content, even if they're the bandits. Thanks!

[@datto240z]

I want to see some MIG-21 stuff too!

[@MasterChief773]

Such a cool video. Easy and fun to watch. Good job bro!

[@skunkbucket9408]

6:46 - Nothing adds to the ambience of a Vietnam era dogfight like the sound of an incoming text message! Fun fight. I've always been a fan of the plucky little F-5. I don't think it ever got the respect it was due.

[@EFFEZE]

My guy sponsored up and that👍 the grind is paying off mate.

[@nebyaaaaaaaaattttt]

6:47 back in the vietnam war was when they invented the samsung mobile phone. you can hear it go off in the pilots cockpit.

[@madyogi6164]

Nice video! TacView analysis is a quite good idea / add on to this!

[@A7XKoRnRocks1]

That was amazing. I wanted to see 2v2 for such a long time.

[@oldmanfunky4909]

I very much enjoy watching the team dog fights. More realistic with a wingman and allows more tactics and learning. I'd like to see this fight again but with 4 human pilots rather than AI.

[@rickmasseur2008]

Damn, GS! I was starting to go through withdrawal! LOL Been a NORD subscriber for about 3 years now. Love it. No logs.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

ahah always a pleasure to see you commenting around here rick. thanks for always coming to watch brother.

[@Minh-Tran-04]

Fun fact: the Mig 21 and the F 5 have never met each other during the VN war

[@timonsolus]

Are you sure? I thought the South Vietnamese F-5's met the North Vietnamese MiG-21's in 1973.

[@Minh-Tran-04]

@@timonsolus When South Vietnam surrendered in 1975, the US had not delivered the weapons, making the aircraft incapable of combat. Later they were fitted with Soviet bombs to conduct ground attacks against Khmer Rouge.

[@Mikelaw709]

Very cool, comms were good, if a little extraneous. But as you said, working towards that true chemistry!

[@Bunjamin27]

Awesome!! Loving the F-5 videos

[@cocobeans706]

Awesome stuff. That was a fun fight to watch.

[@mcpvbrowning1994]

Finally my boy is sponsored... well deserved! Been watching since right before the “top 5 Air to Air platforms” vid. Enjoy it!

[@andredunn-johnston846]

Great teamwork. For those high angle shots you can uncage the seeker head once you get the initial track and it'll hold track better. Also allows you to lead the shot for a better chance at hitting.

[@Vanessaira-Retro]

ME: *Sees GS video notification* Alright, cool. Wonder what GS has today??? Also ME: *Sees F5 in title* OMG YES!!!

[@johnburns9418]

The analysis you do at the end to recap the fights, is that part of DCS or a third party program. Awesome videos btw my son and I have learned a lot ))))

[@kenmarlin4340]

Been following a couple months now and really like the 2 vs 2 dogfights as opposed to bvr. Can’t wait to see you and longshot go up against “live” opponents!

[@giannizen3775]

Finally GS has got a sponsor to support his beautiful work, keep it up, and please tell jester not to eject... it is very disrespectful

[@Mayor-McCheese]

Dawg his android notification going off in the background killed me

[@BikeratBerlin]

nice video - looking forward to see the same match and see you sitting in mig21

[@danieldunlap4077]

I was tensing up during that dog fight, I'm only watching it on my phone.

Much love brother thank u for the support

[@ksotar]

Beautiful video. BTW why the red stars? For some time I thought you're flying MiGs :)

[@saygebordeaux488]

Would be great to see a F4 phantom or a F 8 crusader with the migs

[@mi4936]

8:24 That red star on the wing must mean that this is a MiG-28, not an F-5.

[@Pablo668]

Flying WITH Longshot, as your wingman? What is the world coming to.....what's next? Flying wing with Feisty? The world has gone crazy!

[@Reza-sl4jm]

Wow, this is some quality content, do this team stuff on each and every aircraft, plz

[@mrcoolepikkman6397]

This is close enough to what I wanted at least you got the mig 21bis

[@clockworkorange3628]

I think your right a few more SAM in the air would have mixed it up nicely.

[@gmwpphs1899]

I suddenly realized that whenever the F-5 fires its guns, the little flaps on the nose flips out😂

[@frankymr2]

loving this dual fights .

[@sheevpalpatine80]

If you are trying to use gunfire tracers to distract an opponent to distract them from a friendly(13:32), it might help to fire in front of them rather than behind so they would see the tracers fired at them.

[@NH2112]

Reminds me of waaaayyy back in the day, playing Falcon 3.0 and having the shakes for 15 minutes after finishing a mission.

I just told my sister that I was watching videos about a VR dogfighting game and she thought I meant like Michael Vick dogfighting. Lol.

[@paez4779]

Love the vid although for me, cause I've seen other F-5 vs Mig 21vids that don't go as smooth, I was wondering what are the advantages and short comings of both vs each other. If you can also do a vid explaining that I'd like to know if not a reply would be just as good

[@jikemenkins7098]

Hell yeah I wanna see you and Longshot fly against other human players!

Just realized you haven't flyed mig21 yet in your all videos! You should have a try,it's a great module

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thanks dude really appreciate the support u the man.

I recommend binding missile ungage if you haven't. Also, you have a radar assisted gunsight. Any particular reason you aren't using it? Preference perhaps?

[@agustinyavar525]

Awesome fight 2 v 2s are cool

[@FlightDreamz]

Much rather watch Growling Sidewinder D.C.S. world videos that almost anything on T.V. these days (not crazy about Star Trek Discovery, Game of Thrones has ended and I don't have HBO anymore anyway soooooo). Keep up the good work. I have a flight stick/throttle combo. NEED a better PC (and more money in the bank) before I take on D.C.S. (darn it)!

very kind of you man thank you. Appreciate that support and hope to put out more cool stuff worth watching. Much love.

Is "Missile in the air" actual radio brevity for you seeing an enemy launch or is there no specific radio call for that?
