Here is a small tip for those Frogfoot pilots who find themselves in this undesirable situation: Deploy your maneuvering flaps, this can help you out turn an unsuspecting opponent. It makes quite the difference in my testing. Or just don't merge with an enemy if you can help it.

[@koishily]

I think also being in a climbing turn that the A-10 will eventually be unable to follow also might work. The Su-25 does have the thrust advantage for sure

Hmmm, seems to be a common theme here with the Frogfoot. "There goes my wing." - GS

[@adrianpaz472]

New video request: - PvP (preferably with Longshot) - 4 generations of aircraft (F86, F5, F14 and F22) - All available air to air weapons are valid - Each player starts with the oldest generation aircraft. Changes aircraft to the next oldest if he losses one and continues until it losses the four of them. The player that remains wins! - starting position beyond the radar range of the most advanced active aircraft. - The idea is to show the total capabilities of each generation and how to better approach each. - mountain terrain would be preferable to give a better chance to older generation aircraft.

Seeing that A-10C cockpit brings back some fun memories. I actually worked at Lockheed as a systems engineer intern on the PE program, so I got to to the testing for the cockpit systems and integration of the AIM-9, AGM-65, Litening and Sniper XR. Was a lot of fun! Scary thing was seeing the targeting pods in action and also the seeker heads of the Sidewinder and Maverick! We also had a weekly call with Capt "Killer Chick"!

[@supercarsnaviation6148]

Interesting

[@robburns4176]

I got to talk to a Warthog driver years ago at the Oceana NAS airshow, who had just gotten back from Iraq. He was flying his A-10 in the show with temporary patch panels on his starboard wing, from where a SAM had punched through it without exploding. He completed his mission and flew RTB that way. A tough old bird.

[@azcoder]

I stepped outside this morning and was greeted by a pair of A-10s banking low over the rooftops right in front of me. It was spectacular. I live a few miles from their base but had never seen them so close before.

SU25 is the best plane to learn to fly on. Teaches you all the basics and how to multitask as you struggle to operate the avionics and keep that pig from killing itself. It wants to depart controlled flight in every aggressive maneuver.

[@IAm18PercentCarbon]

The Frogfoot doesn't fly. It accidentally falls upwards for a while in a confused panic.

[@SirMo]

I don't know if this was a joke, but as a newbie I am actually considering learning SU25 as my first plane. I play the goofiest classes in every game I play and su25 seems just like the kind of shit I like.

Nice work man! I’m blown away by how detailed and accurate the presentation is…HUD, up-front control, steady and chopped tones…I have caught many an unsuspecting Eagle or Viper driver by surprise by using the vertical and driving the 1circle fight post-merge. Even when defensive, a good break turn and recognizing the reversal picture is crazy effective. Your knowledge of BFM and the terms used are damn good. You should go teach a class at the USAF Fighter Weapons School!

You didn't even try to win for su-25. Invite someone who can fly this thing.

[@alexfreeman4069]

Very true!

[@smeghead765]

Just because two aircraft fulfill similar roles in their respective air forces doesn't mean they are necessarily a good counter for one another.

[@smeghead765]

Okay, how would you have defeated the A-10 if you were flying the SU-25?

[@smeghead765]

Nice try but you're changing the scenario. A-10s don't fly solo either. So let's use the set up that was actually used in the video we just watched. One on one, head on merge. How do you plan on forcing the A-10 to bleed off speed? He can turn tighter and if I'm not mistaken, his stall speed is lower anyway. Turning with him is suicide so I think you're right about extending. But then the question becomes how effective is your IR jammer? If you can count on it then can you outrun him or out climb him by enough of a margin to be able to set up another head on pass? Or is your ceiling high enough to stall him out then dive on him while he's recovering? I don't know enough about the performance characteristics to say but my guess is no to all of these. You're not going to get in behind him so your only chance is a lucky shot head on.

[@smeghead765]

Your criticism of GS was that he wasn't trying to win. So my question is how COULD he have won in THIS scenario. Not, would you do this or that. Not, is this realistic. Not, what advantages can we give the Frogfoot. So we have 1v1, 12 o'clock merge. No wingman. No intercept angle. Just a straight up dogfight like the one in the video. What more should he have done? It's okay to admit that it is an unwinnable fight. And A-10s do fly with wingmen always. You've probably seen videos of them doing gun runs where the camera follows the shooter because that is the interesting part. The wingman is usually flying in a higher up cover position looking for threats like SAMs.

[@stormman641]

The a10 gunning the 25 in half is exactly what i expected with my experience from flying in hoggit GAW and PGAW. Even with out of missiles I’d go back for the froggy before running back to base.

[@theserpent4495]

Hang on this is the su-25t, what about the regular su25

[@mantisushi]

The first one he killed was an A

[@KFLY007]

A10 would still dominate

[@launchsquid]

If you know you can't out turn the A-10, and you know you have an energy advantage in the SU-25, why do a turn fight and not do a boom and zoom fight? Stay fast in the SU-25 and there is nothing the A-10 can do in a dogfight, you'll always be higher, always be faster, always have the initiative and always have the opening to abandon the fight if you wish.

This video answers also an other question: the superiority of highly maneuverable air planes vs. a less maneuverable ones relying on distance shots, if in a close combat scenario. E.g. F-35 vs SU-57

[@wuzz111]

Thing is in the real world dogfights don’t happen anymore. Dogfights are cool and fun, and they worked in 1942, but the modern day is a different beast. In reality a F-35 would blast the SU-57 from over the horizon (called BVR or beyond visual range), modern combat is a fight of who sees who first and who has the better AWACS and long range radars. But also who is the stealthier plane. This is why you can see the US is investing in planes that may seem less manoeuvrable and therefore worse but are actually better since they have better stealth, radars and missiles. The 3 main attributes of a plane are no longer speed - manoeuvrability - guns but radars - stealth - missiles

Okay, so I tried my standard parallel of this fight in Fighters Anthology...and it turned out exactly the same way. Straight up win in the A-10, straight up loss in the Su-25 : )

[@haijin7484]

What do you expect, A-10 is just next level engineering.

Wait... How are you still playing FA? Is there a way to play it now without creating a virtual machine running Windows 98SE?

Is that a barrel roll or you just happy to see me? Had me laughing, epic, dude.

I feel like GS defeats himself when he’s not in an F-22.

Before I watch it I'm going to make my prediction and say A10 fingers crossed

[@Tstahl962]

Yeh, flown the Frogfoot plenty, it's so slow and heavy, my bets on the A10 too

[@hanovergreen4091]

Cool. Don't even fly sims but this was interesting/fun/informative to watch. Thanks and Best Regards!

[@777logos2]

The fight I never imagined but ended up watching anyhow.

[@CuteEvie]

Dumb fights are fun fights! Now let’s see warbirds vs 4th and 5th gen!

[@kimfosnight4593]

WWII warbirds when gen 4 and 5 have free reign to go vertical and run out 10 to 15 miles. At a less than 5,000 feet in a small area the warbird wins every time but at a high aspect sht from a dive and the me109 goes down.....

[@CuteEvie]

@@kimfosnight4593 I said it was dumb didn’t I?

[@ludicrousspeed6422]

If you have 20+ warbirds and the jet only has guns then they might have a chance.

[@Jose_737]

What about the F-104 mod vs the mig-21? That could be interesting.

[@peterweller8583]

Ha ha ha blind fleeing the blind really a lake stake vs a no radar no rear visibility hot rod guns and fox 2's and awacs vectors

So, you want to watch the MiG get maneuver kills over and over as the Starfighter constantly lawn darts into the ground?

[@Jose_737]

@@benn454 yes, and I want gs to fly the starfighter.

Now that bois is dedication to your channel. Give that man a medal.

"I kinda want to see the gun on the A-10 just melt this thing though." And it did.

[@koekiejam18]

The SU-25 is like a hind, come in fast expend all your ordnance in one pass and then fly off immediately. The A-10 is more like an apache, flying slow stalking its prey

[@thewhite8uard]

Yeh, just a very slow fighter-bomber.

[@denisl2760]

"Come in fast, expend all your ordinance, and fly off immediately"... Me and the Hind have alot in common.

[@allmight1612]

Now that I think of it, GS piloting a SU-25T is the most cursed thing ever

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

That was great! Thank you. 😁

[@paez4779]

The disdain in your voice.. " sitting in this pig show how much I love you" 🤣 god damn..

[@pmvitale]

Considering the Frogfoot was based off of the A-9A, technically they've already had a fly-off.

[@floppa1-166]

Actually I noticed the Su-25 performs better in a dogfight or smth with the combat flaps down, F and Shift+F

You mean he didn't even use them?

Great video as always GS, keep up the good work. Also it would be awesome if we could see some more ww2 dogfights.
