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.

[@3081s1k]

Jester just lost his nerve too soon.

[@acars9999]

I wish he had gone back and strafed Jester

[@pale_2111]

That wasn't a flat spin. That was an F-14 turning inside a Flanker's turn circle.

[@clay7191]

How was it not a flat spin? I need to know lol. I feel it was

[@pale_2111]

[@William3000x]

That's it. One simply CAN'T beat the turn rate OR the turn radius of a flat spin. There's no countering that.

[@muse9260]

Jester ejecting actually a tactical move due to reducing weight of the F14

[@AbcdEfgh-sq2tf]

IQ 999 move

[@johnl6973]

Even though you got out of the flat spin, I'm still going to call that a 360 no scope with a Tomcat on the flanker

[@ThatbotLeniex]

Agreed

[@-Hesco]

indeed. another fun type of trick shot i personally named it’s called the “tinder swipe” where in halo you flick thumb stick and snapshot someone in the head unscoped. pretty epic ngl.

[@donnieweston3249]

The best fight yet. Amazing

[@green_2159]

The Tomcat has so much personality. So does Jester. Thanks, Jester.

@nightraven6303That was a good one 😂

[@CoffeeMatt10]

3:17 the moment the F-14B became the fabled F-14C (Convertible single seat variant). Jester peacing out in a zero danger situation will never get old 😂 Nice sound effects too. After that final round I think it’s safe to say… Growling Sidewinder is the greatest DCS Tomcat driver ever!

[@2shae475]

You'd be surprised that while GS is good, there are people who do some nutty shit with the F-14.

[@TeensierPython]

C for convertible?

[@artruisjoew5473]

jester ejecting made the plane lighter 😂

[@traviswalker8933]

Jester chickened out with the sound to prove it.

[@razgriz25thinf]

That round 3 kill was quite possibly the single most impressive kill i think ive ever seen you get. Never, ever count the tomcat out of a fight.

[@mattmcbee7109]

Came here to say this! And it was visually stunning, too.

[@grimgamer24]

That third round was something straight out of Hollywood. Flat spin, dodging 2 missiles, losing sight of the bandit for a second and seeing them a second before they take a shot, and then turning the tides, getting him in front and securing the kill. Class kill GS. Plus I've seen jester bail out on some interesting things, but never immediately after getting the bandits six. 😭

[@Havak37]

You forgot to mention the rainbow in the back drop

[@Clap_]

That first fight was intense as hell! Had me clenching on multiple occasions 😅

[@keithpowell1357]

Clearly not as much clenching as Jester, filled his pants and left 😂.

[@rattleheadx]

This is better than any movie. Not just an exciting fight turned up to 11, but you know WHAT is happening and WHY it's happening. It's not just a firehose of jargon and shaky-cam shots of jets tumbling through the air.

[@mithrilsk]

dude, my words

[@ireaddekker]

Exactly! This is what movies need more of!

[@isaachartford1535]

Two of the best looking jets ever made. It's awesome to see your technique evolve over time, these videos will never get old!

[@o-manthehuman7867]

this man, in an f14, took a flanker out of a two circle into a one circle, and *won*.

[@sloth0jr]

this looked like some of the best dogfighting I've seen on your channel. Really worthy adversary, and great flying!

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Lol! "My Jester just left me!" I bet that phrase is rarely heard in dogfights

[@gustavolrcoelho]

F-14 flat spinning: CALL AN AMBULANCE... * recovers and kills Flanker * F-14: BUT NOT FOR ME!

[@KraigZero]

Growling Sidewinder :" oh I have the high ground!" Obi Wan Kenobi: "well done, my young apprentice!"

[@Michael-uf1hz]

That rainbow kill after the flat spin recovery dodging multiple fox 2s was Fing magical. That's one to tell the grandkids for sure.

[@dimitrimaurommatis4958]

My thoughts exactly...

[@kcmsterpce]

That flatspin was just a high-level move known as "The Play Dead Maneuver".

[@TheTrevnor]

"I"ll be honest guys, I don't think I'm gonna win this one" A few seconds later... "Oh, rainbow in the background, beautiful kill!"

[@allancannamore2774]

Overheard in the Russian TopGun Debriefing Room… “ That was some of the best flying I've seen yet. Right up to the part where you got killed. You never count a Tomcat out of the fight.”

[@narcissus79]

I've literally never heard Jester scream as he ejects. It was almost a Wilhelm scream. Hilarious!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Lol that’s edited in.

"Don't celebrate too soon" is the lesson taught in this video.

Don’t give up too soon too… I’m looking at you, Jester 😂

[@deonax]

That last round was some of the most fun I've had watching GS.

[@stevenborgogna]

I honestly can't get enough of the Tomcat fights. Maybe it's nostalgia, or just the fact that is such sexy aircraft, or maybe because of all the tricks you can pull..... but I love it! More Tomcat vids would be awesome. BFM and BVR are just as entertaining.

[@SonOfTheChinChin]

su-27 is more sexier. you're just blinded by nostalgia

[@stevenborgogna]

@@SonOfTheChinChin I never said the Su27 wasn't sexy. As the old adage goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :)

"You were my brother Flanker; I loved you..."

And Jester didn't bail even with the flat spin! Wonders never cease!

[@jackhall290]

Well he was told that's what got Goose killed. Nobody told him what would happen ejecting at Mach Jesus 30ft from the deck would do though apparently. His new callsign is gunna be Hawking from now on(on account of being in a wheelchair)

This is a demonstration of "Don't think just do it"...Maverick is proud of you.

Sure… props to the Tomcat but this is also a GREAT example of ‘it’s the pilot, not the plane’. You’re dangerous, Mav. Great job 👏🏼

Master Growww, the force was with YOU! Your last fight is just the best 1 circle dogfight I've ever seen. Beautiful majestic F14!

Dude that last round was absolutely money… I was about to say that about the first one where Jester ejected but then I watched an F-14 recovering from a flatspin, dodging two Fox 2s and killing a Flanker in a roller

GS: Although the last encounter was successful, I think we’ve shown the spicy flat spin as an example of what not to do. Me: gutsiest move I ever saw..

[@rohesilmnelohe]

that last round was amazing he shed his weight with the missiles. Tried tro get an unfair advantage... and blew it :D

[@nathanielrose6782]

Omg I can’t believe you pulled out of that flat spin and still managed to win the fight. Suck it Jester. That’s was a nail biter. I cheered at the end.😅

Your Jester can redeem himself by capturing the Flanker pilot for intelligence 😂

[@lordhickory3322]

ughh, I can't imagine that being comfortable, flying in that kind of rain without the canopy... Those raindrops are hitting you with quite some speed, I imagine... Time for a warm drink after that!

Those raindrops are hitting the remaining bit of cockpit, the part ahead of the arch. And even if that was somehow gone, the pilot still has a helmet.

Round 1 was one of the best rounds Ive ever seen from GS! Perfect outcome, save for Jester wussing out

Not gonna lie, that last round was, probably, the very best I've seen from you. Top form.

“We’re suddenly offensive on a flanker.. if we can just hold this positi…”. *Jester has left the chat

Imagine lighting up GS twice, then still losing. You know the Flanker pilot's desk took more than two hits after that.
