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.

F15 STOL-MTD vs F22 like you did a few years back, but use differential thrust in the f15 to see if you can stay in the fight longer.

[@wackswax8423]

What about streaming ? Also do something Wild Weasley

[@tex821]

we need a F14D in DCS

[@diegodollarhide6663]

Agreed, unfortunately I don’t think they’ll do it until all of the classified data becomes publicly available.

🙌

[@aaronliddell4280]

@@diegodollarhide6663 why is anything still classified on an airframe that was retired 20 years ago?

[@ljessecusterl]

@@aaronliddell4280 Because of Iran still flying them. Same reason all airframes not sitting in museums were shredded.

[@aleksanderginter]

I've been following the channel for some time now and very rarely comment on videos, but this one is something more. Awesome segment about the past and great hints what is going on during the dogfight, definitely easies up the entry level knowledge, the area I remember struggling myself the most with at the beginning. You lifted up the quality to the whole new level, and I sincerely hope it will become a new standard. Stellar job GS, thank you!

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you for the comment and feedback brother. I really appreciate it and will continue to do this sort of thing whenever possible in the future.

[@shiftgood]

@@GrowlingSidewinder Yeah I just scrolled down to say this was a next level video - and its already the top comment. Something about how you called out strategies in advance, critiqued his moves etc made it feel like dogfighting school... more so than usual... Nice work.

[@samwinsyoulose]

Glad to see that I'm not the only person who noticed the whole other level of effort that's been put into this video. It was refreshing to see the combination of a lot of different styles and techniques I've seen GS implement in past dogfighting videos, but never have they all been implemented at once into one video! This video definitely had a whole other level of effort put into it and it hasn't gone by unnoticed. Good stuff GS, we'd love to see more videos like this, but we also understand how much more work it takes to make ;)

[@grimgamer24]

That was a neat dodge of the Fox-2 at 8:56 from the F-16. Great flying to both of you

[@judeackland-patel6646]

Love the intro, you do the documentry style really well. Honestly if I had to explain to someone what a dogfighting was, how complicated it is and how beautiful and aggressive the flying is, this video would be how I did it. An awesome demonstration of everything that makes dogfighting great, Thankyou GS

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

Thank you very much very grateful for that awesome feedback. Much love man.

[@dct124]

[@barbaros99]

Also really appreciate the breakdown of the two combatants at the beginning.

[@andrewrengel]

Couldn't agree more! Was a nice change of pace and set the tone for the battle

[@chrismaverick9828]

Fighting against the Viper really shows how strong the momentary nose-on pull for the -14 can be. It's like it just has that little bit extra to spare so long as you're not already using it and are ready to take the shot.

[@ChromaDragon]

That close quarters fight after 9:40 or so with the F-16 was fucking incredible. Managing to keep control despite throwing all kinds of angles in the F-14 can't have been easy. Flying the bloody thing like it was a Flanker, and nearly succeeding!

[@darkphoenix2]

0:57 this shot of the F-16 flying is so beautiful

[@Ilke2gofst]

Great intro GS. Love the additional info you gave, clear and concise.

[@flightfun5950]

Round 2 is one of the craziest dogfights I've ever seen, flown so close together. Respect !! to both of the pilots

[@GooseOfYork]

Logging in to see a GS video posted 15 seconds ago is the best feeling. Love ya Growling, stay sharp up there

[@brandonmckibben1164]

I'd love to watch a video where you explain some of the different types of dog fighting maneuvers and strategies, maybe adding which aircraft typically excel at each one. Great video here with the context on each aircraft before, love it!

[@rj5529]

I love how the f-14 rattleslike a bag a spanners lol

[@jameshisself9324]

10:40 "After you sir" "No you first" "No you first" That was an epic dance

[@shelby2561]

Thanks for circling the bandit in red. It makes the video much more interesting when we can actually see the other guy. Appreciate it. 👍

[@jedibusiness789]

“I don’t need to out rate him, just need my sidewinder to find him” My chuckle for the day.

[@songjunejohnlee2113]

This channel is so good! Bringing to life the jet v jet matchups we could only dream about before

[@skyhorseprice6591]

That 2nd fight, even though the Viper ultimately won, was a textbook of beautiful defensive flying on your part, and beautiful offensive flying on the Viper's part. Stuff like this is why I love your content, GS; there is always a rich opportunity to learn more about BFM, ACM, and all forms of aerial combat. The deadly geometry, the sky dance, is also something I find beautiful in the extreme.

[@barefootrenegade3949]

When I was in Air Force JROTC (and before I had to get glasses), I *desperately* wanted to be an F-16 pilot. Outdated as the aircraft is, it still holds a special place in my heart. Love the content, my dude. I fly vicariously through you now.

That low speed pursuit was incredible! My heart had "RPM LIMIT" lamp on! :D

[@ilia0wolfskin]

Loved the detailed commentary on the first round. I don't play DCS, yet. but I enjoy discovering more about dogfighting and BVR tactics. I've been able to implement them in other games and it has paid off.

[@LogicWarrior1474]

You’ve raised the bar with this one! History intro, red circle to help us follow the dot, great editing of inside than outside view of the same event… and man, round 2, talk about max performing the jets. Both of you just hanging on your thrust… just really great stuff.

[@braedynhoward3644]

Love the F 16, even though my dad flew the F 18, so that's my favorite jet. But the company he flies for recently got dozens of block 60 F 16s, that may be sent to where he works, and he may learn to fly. It'd be interesting to hear about the differences between the different aircraft he's flown in a dogfight.

[@lhiannonshee]

Adding a bit of history and context at the beginning was dope, man. Great vid.

[@GoofyChristoffer]

Even without the awesome history lesson at the start, the level and quality of the live commentary on this video was next level! Thank you!

[@suntzuwu]

Round two was a nail bitter, beautiful flying from both of you. Thanks for your frequent posts. That takes a lot hard work and dedication.

[@jeremyortiz2927]

Thank you for throwing in Fighting Falcon. As a historian, using the official name once in a while prevents the nickname being mistaken as official in the future.

[@fridgetate7182]

Great video! Once again, knocked it out of the park. I also wanna say that I really love the videos where you provide information on each aircraft beforehand. Really educational and helpful.

[@bobbybolivia9304]

love the quick bio recaps, binge watching your dogfights and absolutely love them. Thanks!

Intro - 10/10. Instinct, control, and ability to teach while serving missiles - 15/10. Always a pleasure watching, win/lose/draw.

loving the red marker on the bandit GS,i just couldnt keep up with it before this. Thank You!!

[@rmaa_sd]

Really really like the combo history + dog fight video here. Haven't been a huge fan of the pure history doc type videos - interesting info but a bit dry. But this is perfect, gives more context to the fight.

[@Gunthrek]

Love the history segment! Definitely would like to see a LOT more of that!

[@johnrecker9146]

A video of the rear stab in straight and level flight is a cool visual of the negative stability. Great stuff!

[@foxtrot24gamer56]

i swear to god GS always comes through with the content i need when im eating my food, never misses dinner time

[@richardgriffin2302]

That second fight was fun to watch. Both pilots flew really well and smartly. I loved the end where you 2 damn near stalled both your planes in order to get behind the other to shoot. Awesome flying from both of you

[@GM-fh5jp]

That last AIM9M was from a batch that was carefully hand polished and fettled by the ground crew before takeoff. The IR seeker window had been lovingly polished with Windex -Military Grade and each of its tail fins and roller bearings were lighly coated in WD40 -mil spec prior to takeoff. You can see the results for yourself as it proudly chases down that maneuvering Grumman and detonates with pride off its port quarter. ps.That's a strong YES from me re: the red circle...

[@paktahn]

wd40 is not a lube that should be used on a bearing of any type in fact it isnt a lube at all its a solvent so putting it on any bearing would cause more harm than good as solvents break down lube it would also probably dry before the missile gets a chance to leave the rail bearings get oil or grease nothing else

[@GM-fh5jp]

@@paktahn Ummm...yeah. That was meant to be comedy...

[@nig87101]

Loving your content GS, loved the history lesson, love how you put in 110% to make the awesome F14 dance. Great stuff.

[@samcs06]

Love the addition of the circles. Really helps us mobile users see where your looking

[@0BuLLeT01]

Loved the format of this video. Possibly a topic for you to talk about during one of these videos (Maybe even a video dedicated to it...) is how you manage to keep sight of the bandit so well. That is the Nr1 thing I struggle with during any kind of BFM.

[@remigoldbach9608]

Perfect edited video with useful dogfight information and some historical knowledge about the two fighters ! Keep it up, really cool ! 😎

[@dioad1739]

That was some beautiful ground level flying in round two by both aircraft seeing who could get the slowest, I really enjoy your videos with the occasional history lessons.

[@user-dx4hb5le4v]

Eating up all your f-16 vids, I'm a noobie to DCS with the F-16 and desperately trying to learn. You explain everything so well, thanks for all the help!

[@IceyJones]

nice format! liked the introduction and then the attention circles in the fights.....

[@ModernAviation3]

Thanks, GS, Please make more intro's like this where you are explaining the aircraft and a brief summary about it! It helps me to learn more in detail about the aircraft Thanks!

[@ryanengles6692]

Ben watching you vids for a while. Good stuff and lots of help. Ran across you intro dogfight sounds in the 1989 f14 vrs Libyan mig encounter and was pumped. Keep up the vids!

[@tbern0351]

Love these videos with the introduction speaking about the capabilities and specs of the airplanes. Excellent work Sidewinder keep it up brother absolutely love your content !

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I'm sure there's going to be someone saying that the red circle is like an NHL broadcast with the blue halo on the puck, but ordinarily I can't see the bandit in these videos (it's why I don't play warplane sims), so I appreciate that. Also the subtitles were great, there's probably a bunch of things that both pilots are doing than a running vocal commentary can communicate.

[@HG-Tv23]

Nice stuff man! You're entertaining and informative! Good seeing ppl at your skill level and having the knowledge to educate ppl. Great channel! 🎉

[@rigger41]

Awesome, I'm an MSFS/XPlane guy, but you're videos have convinced me to get into DCS. Great stuff man, keep it up!

[@acftmxman]

GS, really appreciated the intro on both fighters. I was around when those films were made. I remember it was the F-16 Falcon and the F-20 Tigershark going at it for the next fighter for the Air Force. Yeager was really pushing for the F-20, but the F-16 was clearly the better airframe. For those who don’t remember, the F-20 was a souped up version of the F-5.

[@furqanrizwan9333]

Hey Sidewinder, I just wanna say that I really love the channel, at the moment I’m not able to get into DCS as I’ve got stuff to take care of and prioritise, but I’ve been able to enjoy DVA vicariously through your channel!! ❤❤ Thanks for that :) Someday I’ll be able to fly the F-14 in DCS

[@thisoldaviator]

[@prohunter717]

This rivalry never ends and I am all in for it.

[@thebankerts3412]

I love the aviation history you’re getting into! I’ve noticed you’ve done some intermittently in the past but the recent ones, I’m sure I can speak for all of us, get us fired up for this fight! It’s like a promo to a ufc fight. Lol. Love it. I’m curious if with the addition to the red circle we could try the eye tracker bubble again. Shit maybe even throw just a round with the eye tracker mixed in the video to introduce it again after almost a year. Idk maybe most people didn’t like it then and I didn’t notice because I thought it was cool

[@bitofapickle]

Absolutely epic dogfight! Might i suggest some F5 VS Mirage dogfights? I'm really curious how that would pan out for either of them

[@bobbyshaftoe]

Okay, this format is ***INTERESTING*** DocuTainment : Describe two birds with some nice docu info and then pitch them against each other.. in the same vid. Brilliant.

[@702BattleBorn]

Yo GS, Nicely done format. Enjoyed the history lesson followed by the air combat. Again quality production. Looking forward to more content. Thanks always CAT vids rule. Have a pleasant day. Cheers.

[@theamazingmarlbito6293]

I really dig these vids man. I love your other stuff too! I just also really dig these 😊

[@sikoetu5349]

I still think that the red circles take something away from these videos. Before, I had to think by myself where the enemy will appear and had to look out for him, just like the pilot has to do. Now it's easy to see without me having to think, but I'd still prefer if we have to do something by ourselves. For me, it's not feeling like I'm sitting in the cockpit with you anymore, but like I'm watching a presentation. I hope you get my point, my English isn't that good.

[@slademitchell3501]

Wow. I had no idea the F14 had such wild instantaneous turn.

He is accepting challengers. If you haven't dueled with him yet, it would be interesting to see how he would do against you.

[@davejob630]

"Not a pound for Air to ground' was the marketing jingle... I remember it well, the adfs seemed all over every aviation magazine when I was a kid in the seventies. And you were wallowing through the air like a drunken sailor trying to find his land legs in the moments before F16 took your gravity stabiliser away.
