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.

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??

[@thorstenkurafeiski1845]

He pissed of the house owner. Totally respect his reaction.

[@chriscolemusicalsound]

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

[@gripen777]

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

[@jmwoods1995]

Can you imagine being the first F22 pilot? “Captain what shot you down?! It must have been something incredibly advanced” “………….an F-14”

[@jrapotr02]

At least it was the F-14B

[@NathanIrizarry1]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@toby7504]

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

[@firebald2915]

Yup... A paparazzi photographer/stalker.

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.

[@trevorjalla]

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

[@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 👏

[@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

[@-fulcrumer]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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

[@RockMountainYJ]

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

[@worx2]

holy hell those wake turbulence moves

[@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.

[@MinefighterLP]

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

[@BadAssEngineering]

LOL never thought the Top Gun Flat Spin because of Jet Wash could be true

[@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?

[@cdeist1]

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

[@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

[@homozaur]

“It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.”

[@madmax2069]

Or car in the last one.....

[@Ciaran500]

Holy sheet GS, that first fight was incredible.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@alexandrebrunner1440]

6:31 Maverick's fears becoming true 😂

[@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.😊

[@donkeyballs3081]

I watch the new video every day even though I've never played on DCS and probably never will. I'm sure if that's normal or not but I enjoy watching

[@gwc_garage]

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

[@TAINCER_]

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

[@evanenglish1695]

Gotta love the way, even though it wasn't on purpose, you pulled some f22 like moves after killing the f22 insult to injury

[@Synystr7]

That first kill would make goose proud lol rip goon2soon

[@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.

[@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?"

[@DJTourniquet]

Thanks for bringing back the debrief man, much appreciated.

[@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

[@planetdiego]

I think all those times you shoot ahead with the F 4 are finally paying off.

[@santoscalderon1108]

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

Classic ram preaction "he's gotta see me. He SEE'S ME RIGHT??" *SPLAT!* 😂

[@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

[@NoName5589]

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

[@TheCoolFactor]

The boat captain be like: "Oh, nice, an airshow!"

[@resurgam_b7]

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

[@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

[@peteshively5552]

F22 so cool it even crashes in slow-mo

[@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.

[@1980VINZ]

21:00 Absolutely beautiful. I’m impressed

[@SergeyPupkoMusic]

That first fight was the epitome of "it's not the plane, it's yhe pilot." What a phrnomenal fight!

[@anantgautam2485]

If only Goose had GS with him in the f14....lol that recovery was good at a low level

[@JeremyHobbs]

Too soon, man!

[@eyemastervideo]

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

[@Tikbalang5.0]

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. 👍

[@kerviuskuroshiba5120]

Really Appreciate the TacView debrief GS! I learned a lot and now I can enjoy your content even further with this knowledge :) Kinda had to "go with the flow" with all these terms thrown about in your videos for a while now but not anymore 😅

[@MichaelJCaboose013]

Was half expecting the end of round kill cam to be a little white car hitting a pilot on the road hahaha

[@ShelbybossV8]

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

[@TheEarthwinders]

Thanks for the tacview debrief on this one! Definitely needed to help understand offsetting the circles.

[@grantmitchell3530]

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

[@Mich_as]

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

[@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!

[@ArcaneActual]

Great video man. Ending was great.

[@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.

[@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!

[@SuperMyacc]

Amazing video and explanation. Somehow your videos are still getting better and better. Keep it up!

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

That was a great explanation there for that fight. Great tips.

[@jzeppy1]

That car 😂😂😂

[@madmax2069]

Little does he know when he gets home there's going to be an F-14 in it.......

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

[@francism9782]

An F14 taking down a Raptor really is one of those "yo, Adrian...I DID IT" moments. 😂

[@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.

[@Cryosxify]

12:34 he's just rushing home to make sure his house wasn't destroyed by f14, unintentionally got his revenge

[@ATP-Flo]

Wow these two birds in one video and GS flying the F14. EPIC.

[@Zicetec2000]

F22: What the hell, im the scariest thing in the air since the cretaceous period and granddads kicking my ass. F14: I'm old, not obsolete
