The missile doesn't seek to put blame on the wind or turbulence for its failures. To the missile, this is unnecessary and a waste of time. The missile doesn't seek to become the victim of circumstance, it aims to be in control and take responsibility.

That last missle had more dedication than I've ever had for anything in my life.

At the start of rounds 3 and 5 the F22 turned into combat too early. This allowed the Su-35 to launch the missile perfectly and take the kill.

[@Spartan045G]

Yeah, they didn't properly complete a merge, so it was kinda fitting GS still lost.

[@stinkyfungus]

"Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him.'" Khan was paraphrasing the quote above, It's Melville - Moby Dick. Later Khan quotes a portion Ahabs last words as he harpoons Moby Dick and strikes the blow that will prove fatal to the leviathan, "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear! enraged and mortally wounded The great whale makes a fatal attack to the Pequod and sounds for the last time, with Ahabs iron in him. the unkempt harpoon line tangles with Ahabs neck, pulls taught and drags the Captain overboard, joining his nemesis on his final dive into the depths.

Can you do a video of the same aircraft five rounds and than swap the aircraft with the other guy? I want to see if it's the aircraft or the pilot. Thank you for making these videos, I really enjoy watching them.

[@Sabre613]

If both planes are equal on an equal playing field then pilot skill will make more of a difference. Comparing Airframe capabilities is very situational and mission dependent.

[@tsparks4133]

Just ask for any acft vs. the same type. There, all pilot skill will be on display. I'm down with that. Run a best of 5 fights. Winning pilot carries on, so if GS gets smoked, he will just narrate the next match on his channel.

[@gregfromguam]

I'd also like to see GS with those 9X's. NAVAIR claims those missiles can track behind launching aircraft.
