Hi, you should make some Russian HUD motives for the T-Shirts or Hudies, I´d by some for sure!!! You made my wishes with finaly flyig the Russians for several merge missions. Great! Maybe you should do some ground missions as wel...

[@cripticdestiny]

i like how GS avoided using SU-30, SU-35 and SU-57 very carefully

[@Messerschmidt109]

You could assign numbers to the aircraft then use a random number generator so the picks would really be random, not just preferred aircraft

[@HéctorGarcía-j6n]

You should make a rule that forbide you both to take the same aircrsftb2 times

[@cujbaion1]

you should make a deal to use only one time every plane in order to avoid double usage of F22, Su35, Su57 and Eurofighter which are 4++ or fifth gen. Nice video

[@bradyoung8197]

Maybe have generation rounds like one round may be 4th gen aircraft an the next be warbirds. Anyway you get the concept.

[@CodyU571]

Yeah you could maybe do like a deck of 4 aircraft for 3 rounds with 1 use per card.

[@romanbezensek7595]

That's right.

[@Asghaad]

id rather use random number generator and choose the plane at random by percentage in the inventory of the participating country. that way the chance of getting a Raptor or Felon would be pretty slim and you would get more of Hornet vs Fulcrum or Eagle vs Su-27 matchups with sometimes one side pulling out a Joker from the lottery

[@chnapo1]

exactly, otherwise one could pick just the best dogfighters

[@kenchen704]

I think the rule should be only use once of each aircraft from a pool so they can’t just spam F22 and SU57 lol. They’d be pretty pissed off if they realized they wasted a F22 pick on a merge with a MIG 21

[@MattH-wg7ou]

I think thats a cool idea. Otherwise why pick anything other than F22/Su57 every time.

[@shirothehero0609]

This is what I thought the vid was going to be. Without a set number of 'planes in the hangar' or randomized, it's pretty obvious it's going to end up being a constant 33 vs 22 fight. Why would you purposely put yourself at a disadvantage if you're trying to go for the W. Gotta be random.

I think there should be a "no using the same plane twice" rule.

[@riman8493]

Interesting concept! =) Would love to see more of this! I would propose a slight tweak, however - go with pre-determined "decks". Agree on amount of fights, pick out that number of aircraft without telling the other guy your picks and pick a new aircraft each round. I don't disagree with having the Raptor in the mix, but pulling it out multiple times cheapens the whole ordeal, imo.

[@GM-fh5jp]

A classic example of a pilot concentrating on flying the plane rather than watching the attitude and aspect of the enemy aircraft. Hence his repeated crossing of your nose even when he had the engines and aerodynamics to avoid it (had he been watching). A fine display of superior pilot skill GS.

[@bdrccc6168]

[@spacedonkey3412]

Loving the MiG 29, there's something rugged and basic about it. I imagine it's like a stripped out pure racing car where you feel the road, where as the other fighters are more like modern sports cars with all the electric driving assists.

[@quint2885]

The MiG-29 and the F-15 don't have electronic limiters, the MiG-29 only has an electromechanical control assist. When manoeuvring with these in DCS it feels so much more analog and so much fun imo than the more modern aircraft.

[@Simbirsk2130]

Its killable, it comes down to pilot skill. Granted the aircraft makes a dif but it's like the car world, you can have a lambo but that don't mean u win automatically bc you gotta know how to effectively drive it

[@agsystems8220]

Got himself some decent percentage shots. Sure, they didn't pan out, but run the fights 20 times and some of the times those shots would hit.

[@isaachartford1535]

Great video, see lots of potential here. Would be so much fun with teams (2v2/3v3), lots of communication and spontaneous decision making. Pulling from an old trick in game design, adding randomness and scaling up the number of actors is a sure fire way to generate some deliciously fun and interesting scenarios.

[@WebberAerialImaging]

I love the concept! If there were a way to randomize the available aircraft so the pilot couldn't select, that would be great!

[@dass1333]

If you have five planes to pick from and put them in a order so have to decide in advance when your best plane flies for more rock paper scissors selection. Never fly the same plane twice.

[@mortlet5180]

Holy cow, I LOVE this idea of random aircraft selection! Maybe next time you can write down a handful of aircraft on a numbered list (maybe 1-5?) and roll a random number generator to decide what aircraft you guys use. Maybe it can work on a tier list as well, number 1 being the lowest preforming aircraft on your list and number 5 being the highest preforming aircraft on your list.

This was fun, maybe set a rule that each plane can only be picked once. When the F-22 can't be the answer to everything, the fights should become more interesting imo.

I liked your point about not being able to quit a fight because "it's not fair". I'd love to see you and Silk have rematches where the fights are *truly* random. Like, each of you creates a spreadsheet of the content you own (sorted by broad era, maybe, to avoid F-14 vs P-40), then you use an online RNG to generate two numbers, and neither of you has any idea what's coming - and maybe have to sort out what to do (i.e. what's an appropriate assumption based on what shows up) on the fly! F-5E vs. L-39 Albatross? Fight! F-14 vs. Christen Eagle? Intercept and safely get him to divert to an airfield.

How you found yourself using the cobra is very interesting. It doesn't seem like it is generally a good idea, but when you are in a losing position and looking for a desperation play it comes out, and gives decent chances even against the F22. That and as an airbrake of last resort.
