A-10 vs Apache

[@Howdo_i_buyaHuey]

Another 'Two Morons,' but you're trying to shoot down a SU-57 in a Huey

[@allaltitudeproductions]

Day 13 asking for F-22 vs 10 MiG 21

[@jtro77]

The F-16 cockpit looks so scenic compared with other fighters. Nothing obscuring the view, just clean "glass" and a compact display.

[@xinyuxie5128]

Only f35 has a better view then f16

[@benson4820]

@@xinyuxie5128are you referring to the hmd with 360 degree view? Seeing a virtual image isn’t very scenic

[@pokiiuwu8624]

f22s also have that clean glass cockpit, nothing but the HUD. f35s though still have a line obstructing the view

[@traviswalker8933]

​@@xinyuxie5128 Nope. F-35 has a canopy bow inside the glass cockpit.

[@BlyGuy]

The Block 70 Vipers are extra lethal

[@colonel_cookies_]

4:08 "everything still seems fine" gave me the yellow dog on fire vibe

[@jbc242424]

lmao, I thought the same thing!

[@tonyennis1787]

Classic SW

[@murph3194]

This was an epic intro. Really makes you think, no matter how much training and experience a pilot has, there is nothing that can prepare you for seeing the carnage of fellow servicemen. Think about what would be going through your head as you were trying to get airborne through that. It's crazy to think about.

[@spider_corsa]

My thought was these too! How long you should follow the procedures in the situations like this? Could it cause more problem if you try to take off from the opposite side of the runway and potentially frontal crash with your buddies just because you (as per a future investigation of the incident probably will suppose) "panicked" and didn't follow the procedures that made for your safety (of course we know in this case it was the best decision, but you know how it works...)?

[@hariszark7396]

The most probable thing that will go through your head in a moment like that is shrapnel from the nearest explosion...😲

[@stray2748]

Fear, and anger strong enough to overtake the fear..

[@wed_ward]

Another classic ending "There's no way that missle.." BOOM KIA. I think you're just jinxing yourself now.

[@katherineberger6329]

I'm 99.99% sure he's talking over footage he's already played.

[@henriquetelles36]

Famous last words!!!

[@blshouse]

The tac view at the end showed he had indeed defeated "that" missile, the problem was they had launched another missile, while he was defending the first, that was inescapably. It was that second missile that got him.

[@quentin1016]

​@@AB-jp2eb​Your own fault for reading the comments before finishing the video. Yall will never learn will ya?

[@MrTwisted003]

At least it was "Off like a light switch"... no fade, just black.

[@meansofproduction4213]

I’m a stagehand, not a pilot. But the first rule of the first day of install, is: don’t say “it’s going well.” You say that before quitting time, you’re buying lunch for the whole crew. And brother, you bought… well. Brilliant video as ever. Keep being you.

[@kcmsterpce]

He didn't buy lunch. He bought the farm!

[@playingdoge7407]

Im not good at english, but could you please explain why you said "bought"? Why not "fought"? Maybe I didn't understand something...

[@Blacknight00D]

@@playingdoge7407 It means he bought lunch for everyone

[@fffffwwww]

1) there is an expression in english "he bought it" it means " he died." But in the first case the situation was that he had to buy lunch for the whole crew because something went wrong. Perhaps he made a bet and lost or to make up for something that went bad - and so he had to buy lunch for everyone. The last time he says "you bought ... well" means then a few things but essentially " you died ... well."@@playingdoge7407

[@Peter_Morris]

No it means he bought the farm.

[@cambellschunky704]

Love the picture in picture of the radar. We can actually see how he's assessing the situation. Nice addition.

[@anothernewaccount1657]

"okay everything still seems fine" - surrounded by FIRE!

[@dominicfemminineo4223]

Really appreciated the inset of the RWR. It's usually tough to see what you're referring to with radar and RWR so that was fantastic and I hope you're able to continue in the future

[@danpatterson8009]

Heck of an exit. If there were explosions all around the base as I'm taxiing out, I might look for a long stretch of taxiway and do a Tom Cruise. Patriots running out of missiles is an argument for air-defense lasers...

[@free_at_last8141]

This would be the first few chapters of the Clancy book. Before the mole has been discovered in the US Government, but after the protagonist has to deal with local law enforcement.

[@firebald2915]

Like Rambo...

[@Variety_Pack]

I'm pretty sure I read this book back in the 90s.

[@jasonvick55]

I really like how you showed the radar screen close up in the top left of the video. I’ve always tried to zoom in on that so you enlarging it is very helpful.

[@blshouse]

That end was a great example of what you've talked about before. If you get out numbered, the enemy can keep pushing you, keep you defensive until they run you down and take you out.

[@free_at_last8141]

The way that the camera shakes with the explosive shockwaves is really cool.

[@v8makoshark]

Another great mission video from G/S. You are a massive assett to DCS. The video's you produce obviously take much time and effort and you gotta' fly the jet. 11 outta' 10 !!

[@Mistborn94]

I finally started DCS today and the learning curve seems steep but manageable. Having fun in the f18! Zooming into the HSI to show what you were doing is awesome help. Thanks! I don't know what I was looking at though haha~

[@KittenisKitten]

That Ending! Dam, made me giggle so hard.

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

It's never the missile you were actively defeating that gets you is it. When the fight gets to this size and magnitude, there's always another, faster missile, that you haven't detected yet.

[@LucLamontagne-g9h]

@ 3:01, Growling Sidewinder : "nah I'm good Bro...I'm gonna go right and see if the runway is still good that way" had me laughing so hard I startled my kids...🤣 Man... I've been cold for 20 minutes there's no way... 🤯

[@youssefidbella5979]

the second RWR missile notification that you got while you were defending indicated that there was a new lock not the previous missile, I knew it was the second one who went pitbull on you shortly before getting KIA 🤣🤣

[@unclevampy]

And that was a prime example of being inside the MAR. Great video as always!

[@SPIN_89]

Tac-view was the cherry on top. Great video 👍🏼

[@svjness]

Love the quilt tac view at the end. Hope to see this as a regular thing

[@glptvxd5446]

I love these kinds of scrambled more pls!!!❤

[@riverafranciscojose]

The close up on the data link and radar is a good help. Thanks for adding that. Great job editing

[@msohm322]

When I was a kid I saw these F16s that were in the Sioux City Fighter wing until they went to an Air Fueling Wing later on. To this day I remember seeing them take off in pairs when I was there on field trip and that one day is the reason I am obsessed with fighter jets.

[@johnosbourn4312]

Ah, yes, The Sioux City Bats, previously designated as the 185th Fighter Wing, of the Iowa Air Guard.

[@Stinger522]

16:02. Second famous last words moment of the year. Thankfully none of those cruise missiles were tipped with a nuke and those GLCM launchers didn't have an S-400 with them.

[@FrostYT4444]

Yessir. We go first to da viper. Dodge this. I really like your mission videos btw. Nice work!

[@Slotty_Botfast]

F16s are so clean looking.

[@RodneyPinSC]

Another great video. The PnP of the Data link was very helpful! Thank you for that.

[@Micro_Strouse]

love watching your videos! i started doing dcs content on my channel because of the f22 vs p51 now im addicted and its great!

[@charlesrichardson8635]

One of your missile scenario's showed the complexity of what the AIM120 do! Thanks. I knew as soon as you said you were doing well with less that a minute and half you would going down soon! The image at the end showing two missiles trying to kill you was interesting!

[@jamess6656]

Very cool episode! Love the taxi/takeoff under fire.

[@barbaros99]

Phenomenal opening and great mission overall!

[@No1harris_98]

I’d love to see growling do more EF typhoon content (RAF).

[@scottburns4515]

Awesome video!! Really liked how you started it out being under attack.

[@DIVeltro]

Just out of curiousity, isnt the goal of a scramble to get into the air fast? In that situation, wouldnt be more prudent to get into the air via the taxiway if it would get you up faster?

[@donromantiko8616]

I've enjoyed this. The preview at the end is a very helpful addition to the video. Thank you!

[@marcosavila8215]

2:56 THAT WAS FUNNY "HUMMMM NO TX"

[@yaki6915]

these type of videos are the best, cinematic!

[@64ElMariachi]

you're cranking out these jump scare videos, I love it!

[@itwaseasy6969]

4:09 yeah, everything is totally fine)

[@thehammertim]

Great vid! Do you ever share the miz or mission files for these? The F16 training mission you shared awhile back is still something I go back to, esp if I get busy and have to brush up.

[@UnknownSovereignty]

Man that was an epic intro with how intense that scramble was. another great video GS really goes to show at the end how much pressure was really ramped up when it was just you left. Love it man. Really can't wait to get my hands on a flight control setup to give dcs a go myself soon

[@ZigzagEnd]

maybe F15C vs F15E? I'd love to see just how different they play

[@Miranda_Ghost]

Excellent stuff! (Major Battlestar Galactica vibes - we need to get into the fight!)

[@MPowellDK]

Fantastic video!.....love how you enlarge the HUD for us newbies ^^ thx

[@kjgaming4753]

That's crazy!! I was in Cairo October '23. The conflict started halfway through our trip.

[@mdkos]

One thing I noticed, when you dropped your tanks you didn't change your profile to Cat I to match (master caution came on and didn't go out for rest of the duration). I don't think it would have really saved you in this scenario, but if you had been caught in a rate/radius fight you're handicapped by the FLCS not allowing you to pull the full amount of G's possible for the lighter weight.

[@No1Distraction]

Another fantastic scenario mission! This give a totally different vibe from all of your other videos, please continue. i guess that I've gotten a third set of "famous last words" from you XD

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

Push come to shove you can take off on a taxi way. Same premise of some countries training and using 2 1/2 mile stretches of road for air strips. 👍

[@Trig0r]

"I've been cold for like 20 minutes, there's no way that missile...." Classic GS death...

[@SkyDawg91]

Dude, this is one of your best videos yet! Felt like I was watching one of @FixedIT videos, but you’re actually flying the mission.

[@colonel_cookies_]

imagine you took a missile on your plane at the beginning, end of the video lmao

[@ZachSawyer2077]

I thought the same, it would have been hilarious

[@jeffscott3186]

That would be a great April Fools video.

[@alanbowyer4846]

The was a great intro and scenario. Best vid you've produced in a while.

[@ton1911]

That's the second video I've jumped out of my seat after you thought you were out of the storm. You're not fooling me next time GS. Missile fur balls are just friggin' unpredictable. Amazing video as always sir!

[@tonyennis1787]

16:00 "...there's no way that missile..." Classic SW

[@CasmoTV]

A valiant effort.

[@kretobojca]

This battle actually looks dope AF. More content like this please

[@steffensteinhagen1252]

Famous last words: "There is no way the missile is still on me." Thanks for you videos. I startet playing DCS now and it's a lot of fun, and drives me crazy from time to time. Greetings from germany.

[@resurgam_b7]

Wow, those first 6 minutes were as tense as any dogfight you've been in! It's interesting seeing a coordinated attack from the ground end. Most videos you are the one doing the attacking so it's a unique perspective to be in the midst of missile rain while you try to scramble. Edit: Hahaha, "There's no way..." *KABOOM! Hubris seeking missiles strike again 😆😂😆

[@JohnWickOG]

Missiles coming in during taxi with The Bros were Epic!

[@krflies9840]

16:00 from this moment, I knew it was gonna go south

[@kentwilliams3326]

Also: Digital Storm PCs. Amazing and outstanding.

[@mdswish]

Holy crap I literally jumped in my chair when that thing hit you. Great flying though! Very tense action

[@localracer]

You narrate “scramble the F-16s!” into basic airbus “We’re climbing to 30,000 ft aahhh, it’ll be a nice smooth flight…”

[@Stabcc]

Good to see GS back in the Viper

[@peatbogg3688]

I wish I had a dollar for every time there's an unexpected (for GS, anyway) "BANG" followed by a 'KIA screen' whenever GS says something like "There's no way..." 😂

[@clericleech]

Yeah got to love the viper!

[@khoatran-sv7je]

That missile hit caught me off guard 😂

[@Strateg_Divannogo_Legiona]

Have you conducted a simulation with an attempt to shoot down a surface-to-air missile? is it possible?

[@mathieugariepy2948]

I like when you use the tactical map. Great video!

[@Crane137]

Your recent pre-Killed In Action comments are reminiscent of General John Sedgwick who famously said “They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance…” just before being killed by a marksman during the American Civil War! Superb video as ever GS - great camera work and edge-of-the-seat action!

[@kleinerfarmer1]

To be fair. GS is not an elephant.

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

"Everything is going well" seems to be GS's favorite last words.

[@LowandFast357]

I think a taxiway takeoff would have been much more efficient.

[@davidmichaelbarnish7155]

I wonder if you could do a video that explains all the noises (beeps, bloops, etc.) you hear in the cockpit during battle.

[@DerInterloper]

"There's no way that missile....." *Bang*

[@SergeyPupkoMusic]

"There's no way that missi...." *Cuts to black* I guess you got the preferred treatment. 😂

[@ericeibe4043]

Reminds me of when I worked in the EOC at Kunsan exercising this exact same scenario.

[@firebald2915]

" got'em again, didn't we Josey?" hahaha BooM !

[@Gary61582]

ALWAYS GREAT CONTENT! REALLY ENJOY TO WATCH👍👍

[@MrSwayzZ]

The front shot of the viper,behind the fire is a sweet shot

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

LOL, when that klaxon horn is sounding, that means get your butt in the air, not enjoy the view!

[@horusfalcon]

I'm beginning to think you like saying "oh, that missile is gone" knowing it's still back there, just for comedic effect. Didn't expect two of 'em, did ya? 😆

[@aaronliddell4280]

That was the spiciest take off scenario in the history of EVER! 🙌

[@TurboHappyCar]

I was waiting for the taxiway takeoff. 😂

[@awger90210]

Dammit ... I *always* jump. Know it's coming, jump anyway.

[@UDDA_REAL]

Hey man congrats on being a dcs affiliate!

[@derroneverest4511]

I really loved this video Mr Growling.

[@acevtol]

One of your best posts yet!

[@SimulationH2]

Congrats on the affiliation!! 😁😁

[@dunneemofozilla5718]

Been watching you for ages but only just now notice DCS's S300 get hotlaunched, funny detail considering the sim models some missiles dropping from planes before engine ignition

[@maximipe]

Been binge watching these videos like GOT these last few days GS, keep it up. As an odd request would love to see MIrage 3s or A4s vs Harriers as in the Malvinas war, historical duels in general would be really interesting

[@ZedOhZed]

These large scale scenarios are great. A big carrier vs carrier battle would make for an epic video. Either modern USA vs China, or maybe a hypothetical UK vs Argentina Falklands scenario.

[@BogeyUnknown]

Couldn’t be me in the F16 staying on pavement watching all them bombs drop. My F16 is turning into an ATV

[@JayGuitars1]

That was the best yet! Scary!

[@aztec0112]

I generally get a higher PK throwing rocks at incoming missiles than using the Patriot missile system. But it does look pretty cool at airshows and stuff.

[@royallowa-8908]

Really love these kinds of videos! Please continue doing these! Could you perhaps do a F-22 interception over NATO airspace or something similar?

[@section8usmc53]

"We're going left." Your other left. 😆

[@Flanker207]

Finally good old tacview shows us exactly what happened!

[@tombooker13]

There's no way this missil.....kabooum... 😂😂😂 So funny man thanx ! That's impossible to go to bed before watching your last video !
