[@Plane_pancake]

Love your tomcat vids

[@Wellerhouse31]

Love your tomcat videos! Would love to see 2 Tomcats against enemy bombers with escorts.

[@JohnDoe-vf2es]

I have made the required sacrifice to the algorithm gods. In turn, I make but one small request: can you do a P-38 vs Mosquito please???

[@vexingrabbit1824]

love the kitty plane!

[@Evodocturine]

Still unsure on my consistency here but.... FB-22 vs whatever??

[@chriscolemusicalsound]

the inverted flat spin recovery at 1500 feet might be the greatest thing i've ever seen on this channel.

[@Juno7900]

Better than Maverick did lol, and he was inverted at lower altitude

[@josiahvonb3426]

That was impressive, good ole maverick should have been taking notes.

[@steve390gold]

Can confirm that was amazing

[@heretolevitateme]

Literal magic. But I think not being thrown around by g-forces in a sim gives GS a much better chance than Mav had.

[@IMJUSTABANANA]

it just the tomcat want to do a victory dance to assert dominance

[@Ankhobo]

I'm really proud of Jester for not ejecting just at the sight of a raptor.

[@JAEUFM]

GS probably disabled Jester's rings so he could not punch out. He was along for the ride.

[@clairecelestin8437]

Thankfully, Jester was not visual

[@beatboxbuggi6884]

If I was jester, I probably would

[@jeembojones4194]

Lost his speech though

[@IM2a1]

I had a loud laugh. So dark comic.

[@Danko05]

Good one... Hahahaha

[@PrimarchX]

That flat spin recovery at that altitude was NUTS!

[@kingkoolkata]

I can feel how he felt flying through his wakes. I flew with a phenom 300 through the wakes of a heavy Md11, that was almost the same shit 😅

[@Midicow]

I know it wasn't, but, from an outside perspective it almost looked like an intentional trickshot maneuver to get gunsight on the f-22

[@kat13man]

GS is not only a great fighter pilot but also an excellent video director. His videos allow us to visually understand the combat and the tactical discussion at the end showing the ribbons for the aircraft as they duel is exactly what I want to see. Hats off to GS for these videos.

[@firebald2915]

The best of everything. Matlock needs to investigate that vehicular homicide. Then get Denny Crane at the insurance company payout.

[@LotionSoronarr]

I read "NOT a great fighter pilot" and was about to open a can of whoopass after him downing an F-22 and missing 2 more sure-kill opportunities to do so, but then I realized I misread.

[@j.59]

1000% I’ve learned more than I ever thought

[@silntstl]

He's a gamer not a great fighter pilot. Reality vs. fantasy.

[@miguelruiz8183]

That jet wash recovery was more impressive that that kill in round one GS!!!

[@williamtaftt]

props to ED honestly. i had no idea that they would have modeled the jet wash coming off of the engine of another plane, but its incredibly cool that they did

[@Amram81]

if your physics simulation is complete enough, you get all sorts of ancillary "features" for free.

[@inorite4553]

@@Amram81 Yeah....like getting hit by a car when you try hitchhiking your way back home.

[@jm56585]

@@Amram81 I woudn't think they would be running full on real time fluid simulations though, so they probably modelled jet wash manually

[@jordananderson2728]

​@@jm56585Absolutely not. I have a friend who deals with fluid modeling for his job, and we joke that he spends his day rotating shapes, because he has to set up the sim, run it, turn the shape a little, run it again... CFD is wizardry and they have a dedicated supercomputer just to do it.

[@brianwright9514]

If I had a nickel for every time GS missed a gun kill because he forgot to select guns... I'd have like, at least 5 bucks

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Loooool you’d have much more than 5 bucks brother

[@TheStuntman81]

I now finally understand clearly the 1 circle and 2 circle fights. And also as rate and radius and offsetting! Thank you for this very clear and concise explanation!

[@kylobear7991]

I agree! I’m going to rewatch this lots

[@dsdy1205]

If you want a very easy way to spot the type of circle flow you're in, keep your eyes locked on the bandit as you turn. If the sky behind him isn't really moving, it's a 1 circle. If the sky is whipping past behind him, that's 2 circle.

[@JaredB47]

This is probably the highest level of skill I have ever seen from GS in the F-14, maybe of all time You continue to impress us all 👏

[@toby7504]

That house you destroyed belong to the guy in the car😂

[@firebald2915]

Yup... A paparazzi photographer/stalker.

[@squidin9347]

Oh man that Tacview debrief was elevating. I had an idea of what high-aspect or low-aspect shots were on paper along with one and two-circle fights, but the visual demonstration of what they were really helped solidify it in my head. Thanks for that!

[@ehanskein]

Imagine surviving an ejection only to be hit by a car walking btb🤣

[@eg395]

Darn Uber/Lyft!

[@alphazuluz]

Damn camo pilot suits.

[@LTKBrns]

"Watch where you're going, you fool"

[@angryginger791]

The F-22 couldn't kill him, but that 2002 Hyundai Elantra is a mean SOB.

[@huttonfamily5064]

That has to be one of the best dogfights I've seen yet. Missed opportunity, yes, but still damn great flying. Especially the recovery from the jet wash on the 1st match.

[@trevorjalla]

"Ok so today we're on foot, about to merge with a Fiesta hatchback..."

[@scotthopkins2235]

This just shows how deadly the F-14 was and still is. The fact it even got a win is nearly unbelievable not to mention that flat spin recover!!

[@Forced2DoThis1]

Toss in the 2nd round and ACTUALLY getting the 22 in front again but because he lost track of it not getting off the shots to score a 2nd win!

[@-fulcrumer]

"He sees me hopefully, He sees me, HE SEES ME-" Famous last words 😂

[@siccmade425]

50 year old tech, literally about to tear itself apart, can come out on top against the the most (known) advanced tech available, is not only incredible, it's a testament of American aerospace engineering, and the ability of kick ass pilots to "know their plane". Fun and very interesting video brother!

[@dreaminknight]

And don't forget the Canadian pilot GS 😂

[@insertnamehere7574]

Goes to show that dogfighting is no longer relevant. A F22 engaging a Tomcat up close is a worst case scenario for the Raptor.

[@skull1161]

@@insertnamehere7574 And even then the F-22 can easily just point its nose wherever and end the fight with an aim-9x

[@lordhickory3322]

I loved the little on-foot shenanigans after the eject at the end of round 2, funny and enjoyable! Keep up the great work!

[@barrylovatt9978]

The replay of the f14 recovering from the spin then fly over the falling F22 is probably the most epic thing I've seen on here

[@MinefighterLP]

The recovery of that jet wash was insane! Especially at that low altitude.

[@PhilTParker]

Great description of what I haven’t been able to grasp until now…the concepts of one circle vs. two circle fights. High aspect as well. Thanks GS!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

My pleasure, glad to be of service

[@abirsanu]

03:20 - that guy on the boat is like "What is going on here? Are they giving me honors circling around me like that or what?"

[@packrat-y7j]

Man everything about that from the mis-selected weapon to the flat spin recovery against an f22....this...is probably my favorite video now.

[@ktotheswiss1617]

Thanks!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you very much

[@eg395]

That first round was FANTASTIC ! Unfortunately in the second round the white car got you. Darn it!!

[@grizzlytitan]

One of the best videos that you have ever made. I really enjoyed the tac view analysis. Thank you so much for explaining all of this.😊

[@TAINCER_]

4:44 - Now that's a sick camera angle!

[@slayerofmidgets3201]

In that first round when you started to flat spin your nose pointed at the f22 and I love to think he was watching you fly alongside him while pointing your nose in severe code brown

[@worx2]

holy hell those wake turbulence moves

[@vized2415]

I absolutely LOVE those kind of tacviews in your videos GS. I instantly feel like hopping into my f16 and doing some dogfights. As always, great video man, you continue to deliver amazing content time and time again. Much love from Poland

[@personM4N]

Low altitude recovery out of the wake turbulence, _AFTER_ shooting down over $100 million more airplane than you were flying. I almost stood up and clapped.

[@Ciaran500]

Holy sheet GS, that first fight was incredible.

[@belikumari6893]

Gs adding some extra clips for video is legit😂😂😂 for the first time we actually see a perfect landing and a funny 💀💀

[@santoscalderon1108]

9:28 Love watching the fights like this, we see all the jets movements! Great Video 👍

[@jeffschneider9516]

I have found your videos to be so educational and I've learned a lot about BFM from your detailed breakdowns. Would love to see a video from you that goes into the details of piston BFM vs jet BFM.

[@fosterparent7477]

Outstanding vid! Imagine being the guy just trying to fish off his boat and seeing this around him! I love these DCS details.

[@gwc_garage]

That was one of the best flat spin recoveries I've ever seen

[@RockMountainYJ]

Survive getting shot down low altitude by an F22; only to be killed by a Honda Civic.

[@Note2Self_IRL]

That was the 1st jet wash I have seen you fly through ever !! That was cool

[@tikbalangmedia]

Seeing the Dogfight in tacview in post with the explanations, I can't help but want a dogfight 101 series lol (full well knowing there are old videos covering some stuff). Wonderful explanation as a new subscriber, and very informative. 👍

[@DJTourniquet]

Thanks for bringing back the debrief man, much appreciated.

[@randyhunter3907]

You made my day and put a smile on my face with that first round keep it coming GS Tomcat woooo😅

[@wmolders8160]

That must be one of the most funny deaths in game, getting hit by a car. I hope that makes it into a highlight.

[@Kyleplier]

I think it’s amazing that you literally pulled a move from the OG Top Gun that’s actually called “flat plating the bird” which uses the entire aircraft as an air brake dumping your speed and energy in a hurry. It’s almost impossible to anticipate and will almost always force an overshoot, unless the enemy pilot has god level reflexes and pulls off a high yo yo defensive maneuver which would keep him on your six.

[@dallascowboy2221]

I’ve been watching and enjoying the dogfights but today you explained everything so clearly. I had no idea what 1 or 2 circle meant or looked like until today. Bravo on the primer

[@hasangarmarudi2178]

The first round kill was really a show of discipline by you. Understanding the basics of air fight very well.

[@paynezerfaust4282]

I'm embarrassed to say I've seen hundreds of your vids and the 1 circle/2 circle topic made no sense until right now. Thank you so much!!!

[@ShelbybossV8]

Golden nuggets of information, keep em coming. I love how the F14 rattles away like an old car showing its age. Great fight 👏

6:31 Maverick's fears becoming true 😂

[@imdoobie80]

Wow didn't expect that car to run you down. Awesome having the tac view back thank you. That was some great flying in the first round. I still recommend F-4 vs Bandit Unknown 4 rounds.

[@eyemastervideo]

OMG, the road kill, that was awesome. Thanks for the debrief at the end too!

[@NoName5589]

That recovery was so inspiring, I'm amazed at your skill GS

[@keenanreaper5754]

wow just wow, i had to rewatch that first fight a few times that was the most amazing flat spin recovery ever and a cool finish to the fight!

[@ph2738]

Now you have me thinking about offset two circle when I’m mowing the lawn. I circle a small tree, can’t mow close all the way around so I off set a little to circle back close on the other side of the tree. Same with finishing off the center of the lawn. Flying the Cub Cadet, not an F-14

[@elnach3240]

Nice flying! Never count out the mighty Tomcat!

[@404-u5f]

Or the honda civic 😂

[@acars9999]

[@misawajason]

love your content! I'm currently stationed on Guam and have kept on watching the ground to see where you're maneuvering over more than the actual fighting in the last few videos, haha.

[@TheRealAaronSmith]

Does the rattle of the Tomcat remind anyone else of the bus they took to school that always seemed like it was just about to fall apart?

1:07 "If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it" 😂

[@victoriasnell907]

GS, You are an amazing and talented pilot and instructor. I have watched every one of your videos and every day I check for your next release. Another way to determine if it's a one or two circle fight is what happens at an initial nose-to-nose (neutral) pass. If both aircraft turn across each other's tail, it results in a 2-circle fight. Looking down from above, there will be two different circles one for each aircraft. It will look like a big figure eight. If each aircraft maintains an identical turn RATE (often happens in a 1v1 similar aircraft fight) then they will have another neutral head-on nose-to-nose pass. If one aircraft has a better turn RATE than his opponent, then before the next pass, that aircraft will be the first to bring his nose to bear on the other aircraft. Often times as the fight matures, a 2-circle fight turns into both circles overlapping each other in a big tail chase. The aircraft with a better turn RATE will eventually win that tail chase. If at an initial head-on nose-to-nose pass, if one aircraft turns hard away from the other aircraft (basically kicks his opponent across his tail), a 1-circle fight is forced. Both aircraft are flying on the same circle even if one climbs or descends. But each aircraft has it's own turn RADIUS. The fighter with the tighter/smaller turn RADIUS will quickly turn inside the turn radius of the other larger radius turning aircraft. The aircraft with the smaller turning RADIUS will eventually generate "angles" on his opponent.

[@madmax2069]

12:36 hes going to get home and find an F-14 in his house.

[@Mich_as]

Bro really said in that first round "its not about the plane but about the pilot"

[@Olabruh]

OML NO WAY, FINALLY SAW THE OFFSET 2 CIRCLE BACK ON THE CHANNEL AFTER MONTHS AND IT WORKED!! i say that as you almost did a top gun 🤣🤣🤣

[@DaveSParty]

GS - That jetwash effect built into DCS - phenomenal! It was something to see. Good recovery. Oh yeah, I always thought you should spray and pray - just bursting on the trigger before they reach the recticle - letting them fly though the rounds and catch some.

[@PuckeredMeatball]

2:00 Wow, that first gun jink was amazing

[@brellnob]

You’re top of the class. There are only a couple of guys that I’ve seen you fly against that can actually hang with you. You should use them more often.

[@JM-740]

As always love your tacview reviews. I mentioned in a previous community post how much I’d love to see a video going over tactical maneuvers like rolling scissors and such and more technical stuff of the sorts not so much the terminology which you’ve reviewed before with One&two circles, notching, Fox1-3. It seemed like a good amount of other folks were interested as well!

[@grantmitchell3530]

It was nice to see tacview return. Always nice to visualize what actually happens and how

[@tomas7158]

This is by far the best "next one". Not only a f22 kill! That recovery was awsome! Try some lottery!

[@SplashJohn]

The TacView debrief was excellent, thank you! For me, I don't want the TacView in every video, but here and there, it's a welcome addition.

[@bigdawg2246]

that first battle had to be the dirtiest most badass kill ive ever seen. Not only did you kill him with your planes wake, but you survived his and started breakdancing in his face moments before his death. im not sure there will ever be a greater kill.

[@marcussilvertabby1433]

Momentarily lost visual with the white car, which performed an impressive U-Turn and closed fast, out rating the pilot who wasn't walking quick enough across the road. More likely to get killed on a road than in a plane, clearly simulated. Enjoying the flying skill and debriefs. Keep the good fights coming!

[@donakahorse]

that was some amazing flying my man, and I needed that belly laugh when the car hit you. Bwahahahaha
