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.

You know that's a scary feeling when you're fighting a Flanker and the thought of "where did he go?" goes through your mind. 🤣

[@Fra-gee-lay]

It’s too easy to forget just how big the flanker is. Nice fights. On to 400k

[@jakes.4147]

Regular 4th gens are already big themselves, but flankers are absolute behemoths

[@WalterModel45]

@@jakes.4147 nah F16, eurofighter, rafale, f18 etc are small Just the f15 is big

[@PFCAhammed]

it's huge. found out the other day it's the same size as a B-17 flying fortress, hard as that is to believe

[@helplmchoking]

@@PFCAhammed Didn't believe this so I had to go look it up. The B-17's wingspan is about double the Flanker's, but they're almost exactly the same length, height and the Flanker is actually about 2T heavier both empty and gross. That's 50% higher empty weight than an F-15 and easily double the F-16. Definitely didn't realise how quite how huge the Flanker is

[@Durzo1259]

From 15:20 on that was the craziest dogfight maneuvering I've ever seen, on both sides!

[@KalvyNoodle]

I'd love to see this fight again with fox-2s. Just to see how much of an edge that gives the Flanker.

gs just hit 300k subs a few months ago and now gs is about to hit 400k, the channel is growing fast! And how did an f16 maneuver kill a su35 in a rolling scissor?

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thanks to the viewers who come and watch and comment the algorithm loves that stuff

[@icin4d]

In that last fight, I found myself yelling at the monitor, "He's above you!" 🤣

[@SuperTurbocoupe]

That last fight is one of your best, it should make the highlight reel. That was masterful.

[@mattberry825]

That fourth fight was fantastic! I really enjoyed the SEAD videos you made a month or so ago. I’m not sure what SEAD weapons the F-35 currently has but it would interesting to see the effect of VLO aircraft against the more modern IADS like S-400 and long range early warning radar. Also, I think a naval mission would be awesome, as in a carrier air wing battle with some anti shipping action. Would love to see you back in the Super Hornet for that one.

[@Stinger522]

The small size of the Viper gives it the edge in a dogfight. Given how low he was in the final round, I had a feeling a maneuver kill was coming and sure enough it arrived. Another day requesting F-14 Vs. Eurofighter Typhoon BVR fight. Meteor Vs. Phoenix.

[@roijoi6963]

Viper's small size was something Boyd really had to fight hard for. The USAF was in love with BIG, and Boyd knew that was going to be a problem for a dog-fighter.

[@fodder8062]

that replay really put into perspective the difference in size between the F16 and Su-35.

[@leftnut7508]

Such a majestic first kill, the soft music, the slow lineup onto the flanker then boom, mortal Kombat noises. Lol, great stuff man.

[@alexturnqest6202]

Sometimes I forget how absolutely massive that flanker is. The f-15 isn’t small for that matter either lol

[@billybob-joe1153]

The f16 is the most forgiving yet punishing aircraft I think I have ever seen you fly lol

[@chaz__]

Only GS would end an opponent’s life to sad music with “FATALITY” inserted 😂

[@Skyrat12]

I would think the F-15C would be closer to an SU-27/33/35, and the Mig-29 would be closer to an F-16/F/A-18? But I'm sure you've already had those combos.

[@inquisitorbacon8170]

that last round didn't end in a crash, it looked more like the flanker was trying the fusion dance with the earth and they just messed it up.

[@loucyphers_nightmare]

GS, I have an idea for a new video series for you, it's a double point of view were you first show your perspective of the dog fight and then you show (as in this case Longshot) the opponents perspective of the dog fight where your viewers can see and hear there comintary and observations of the dog fight

[@DigitalPetrol]

Really enjoyed seeing a close match up. Thanks for a great video.

[@boots9665]

Love your content man, I love how you aren't overly enthused either like other KZbinrs, almost calming, yet menacing in your ability to shot down these aircraft. bravo.

[@bobbyosborne2375]

That last round...SMOKIN HOT. Good stuff GS

[@MarkHoltze]

the little dance on round before before the flanker ate the dirt, was beautiful for a moment.

[@MrNismopro]

The F16 deserves the attention that the F15 has received. They need to update that plane big. I would like to see them experiment with a vectoring nozzle on it.

[@demods1]

I think that last fight aside from the flanker eating the deck has to be one of the best fights I have seen yet great job to both of you

[@redbeard3574]

The F-16 may be an old design, but it sure holds up.

[@tonycrabtree3416]

Best pure dogfighter ever designed.

[@TheXcena]

Love the F16 just giving you a helpful lil warning - just in case you hadn't realised you were lacking a wing, on fire and doing an impression of swiss cheese

[@netwrkguy]

Love the falling leaf flanker at the end of round 3!!

[@VenomCinematic]

F16 be like “I AM SPEEEEED”

[@retardmoguss]

Was the flanker using tvc? its supposed to be able to move a lot like the felon and the raptor in theory with tvc that forces it to move in the direction the nozzles face opposite of

[@Xterminate13]

They’re not as precise as the felon, more of a missile carrier really. Felon has less missiles so probably need more guns on ability, imho

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Not useful in a guns only fight where energy management is the key. You don’t want to use these super manoeuvrable “features” in a guns only fight that will leave you slow and an easy kill in a guns only fight.

[@HypoceeYT]

You got replies that are correct but missing context that makes them not ridiculous. TVC can win 1-circle slow/close gunfights in seconds, and it can win missile fights in seconds. It's no good in a guns-only 2-circle fast/far fight. Pointing the nose does nothing but bleed your energy if the bandit's a mile away at the time.

[@Xterminate13]

@@GrowlingSidewinder this might be addressed soon, energy management

[@notHere8801]

Insane last round!!! That's why i love watching GS!

[@roijoi6963]

Interesting comment on the change in design focus between the 1970s and 1990s, going from a pure gun-fighter to a dominant Fox-2 fighter. Boyd was incensed that the USAF had pinned all their performance on missiles with the F4. The USAF brass briefed the Fighter Mafia that the missile would do the turning, not the fighter, thank you very much. Boyd told them where to shove it, citing the F4 in Vietnam. As time rolled by though, missiles finally achieved the performance the F4 had assumed, and the Viper would have been in trouble as a platform, except the same speed, acceleration and miserly energy bleed when turning at high Gs also made the Viper an astoundingly good Fox-3 platform. Fast forwarding even further to today, with the AIM-9X or Python and helmet mounted cueing, the Flanker still has the advantage in Fox-2, but not by much. If they want to erase it entirely all they have to do is put a couple of 2mi range Fox-2s on the Viper's strakes and point them backwards, queing with the HUD while looking backwards, although most Fox-2s today can easily get tone head-on from frontal skin friction heat.

[@stuartholden2772]

That was smart going low altitude as f16 is primo at dogfighting at low altitude certainly against a big moving target like the flankers!

[@HAMlLTON]

[@berlinerbudapesti]

Would love to see some rounds of dogfights where both planes have one or two fox 2s in total that can be used in any of the 5 rounds. With that you‘ll try to do the gun fight but have to be careful as you could get shot down by the Fox 2 as well

[@Jerimiah10]

There is probably nothing tastier than seeing a fighting falcon get a maneuver kill against a Flanker. Thanks for that. Made my night.

[@312pratik]

Please make A gunfight video for Su-30 MKI vs F-16. I think that is something you have not done so far. It would be interesting to see, as these two aircrafts have been fielded by opposing nations (India and Pakistan) and are highly like to fight each other in event of an aerial conflict.

[@Exsultxn4]

Great vid man keep it up🙂

[@greybuckleton]

Oh boy this Flanker pilot! Great stuff! Finally seeing a guy who won't just accept his fate on the deck with an F16. Out of plane, playing with altitude, great flying even though it wasn't always a win.

[@edenschildren4238]

I saw a trick once where a pilot in WW2 in order to keep from overshooting a slower aircraft put his landing gear down to create drag and slow the plane down....

[@NickJaime]

What could be interesting is seeing you and some others do some old WW2 tactics, such as the thach weave, etc. Would take a bit of effort on your part lol

[@roblockhart6104]

The melodramatic music in the background as the Su-35 is going down was eyebrow raising, then 😆.

[@benwatso]

F-35 vs F-22 BVR? Would be an interesting fight i guess

It would be an interesting test for how accurate DCS is. During Red Flag the F-35 dominated the F-22 in bvr (according to public statements so who knows if that is true)
