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 prefer more up close and personal dogfights consider the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battle series and experience intense WWII aerial combat over famous battlefields such as Stalingrad, Moscow, Rhineland and Normandy. Fight in and against Russian, American, German, British warbirds such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Bf-109, FW-190, Spitfire, Hurricane and rugged IL-2 Sturmovik attack plane. You can also fly legendary SPADS, Fokkers and Camels in WWI dogfights over the trenches of WWI and discover your inner Red Baron! And all of this can be experienced in jaw dropping virtual reality!
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020, 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.

Check out the Merch Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com My First PvP Kill in the Yak-1B unlucky for the poor guy he got sucked into that dogfight in a co-energy state with a yak-1 otherwise I think the fight would have leaned much more in his favor.

[@thedishonoredamerican129]

The Yak-1B is so pretty. Russian WW2 Yaks were awesome.

[@andriianashovam7070]

Where the Soviet Union has gone? Why people calling something which was Soviet Russian?

[@Berzerker1-3]

Da, Comrade Sidewinder. Comrade Stalin has seen your after action report of your mission of the Yak-9T. He was pleased to see you were so eager to get in the Yak-B to lay waste to fascist 109’s in the same day. You are being awarded with the Hero of the Soviet Union medal. Good job Comrade Sidewinder!!!

[@zonzillamagnus5902]

Now Gulag

[@bukhariali71]

Imagine a Yak 3. Germans were ordered not to engage a Yak 3 below 5k alt.

[@violentincendiary]

That's some seriously good flying, a K4 with MW50 (or even without) should have every advantage over a 1b except for turn radius. You did the right thing dragging him down low and keeping the pressure on. He should have extended and climbed away to make you chase him. Well done!

[@vogonjelc]

Isn't mw50 restricted for use bellow 3km? Or something like that? Played IL 2 ages ago on skies of fire server

[@violentincendiary]

MW50 is at 6k or below by the manual, not sure what server settings would have been. Even so, a K4 without MW50 is essentially a G14 and still should have had the advantage in the engagement.

[@tonyennis1787]

I wouldn't expect the K-4 to lose this fight, ever.

[@MatterOfFactItsAllDark]

I would like to see you playng the series of the game, there's a lot of campaing series, where you battle with your aircraft in realistic fights in the history, like Battle of Britain, Spanish Civil War, Invasion of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, Battle over Berlim, etc, maybe you would do a serie of those campaing's

[@GregsAirplanesandAutomobiles]

The 109 pilot took gunpods, a huge mistake for a 1v1 dogfight.

[@LongTran-em6hc]

It was a good idea in 1946, not sure what have changed.

[@hippoace]

@@LongTran-em6hc Erm mainly against bombers, not against fighters, especially something as nimble and light as a Yak.

[@LongTran-em6hc]

@@hippoace I loved the Nazi 30mm back in 1946. It's almost always 1 hit 1 kill back then, so I don't have to do a lot of turn fighting, just spam 30mm rounds at merge

[@MegalonJonesSlattery]

Loving the Il 2 content. Yak 1 vs 109K is a bit of a mismatch in favor of the Germans (despite your victory.) 109F or G would be the historic matchup. I'm an old Il2 Mk I vet who hadn't touched flight simming in over a decade. Missed out on the Mk 2 debacle with the BoB title (I still miss Oleg, though.) Got back into Great Battles late last year. Plus, the NKVD wants to talk to your ground crew and superior officer. Winter paint in summer over the Caucus?

[@stratcat3216]

yeah the 109k was more rare and a wicked machine.

[@702BattleBorn]

Yo GS, I can dig it! Great show. Like seeing the not too common birds on the screen. keep up the great work as always. Catch you next time. Have a pleasant evening. Cheers

People who dont know about the performance of the yak fighter Definately would get a nasty surprise from them. Theres a yak 3 here in nz known as full noise. Its a fuckin rocket ship

[@mandst5466]

109’s are always good at getting guns on quickly at the top of vertical scissors, they “flop” over but are stable enough to aim.

[@alejandrob5616]

I honestly love this guys videos, I even like the ww1 ones don’t stop making them

[@kenhelmers2603]

2 Yak vids in a day?! What a treat from GS!

[@farkinarkin5099]

Lesson learned. Never go slow in the weeds with a Yak. I really thought he had you in the first move.

[@carldsouza9436]

I've been watching your videos for 2 years now and I've gotta say that it's really amazing! Keep up the good work man👍 Also can you please share the background music you use in your vids? It starts at 3:00.

[@iyhan1987]

If you like VR, you should try Reverb G2. The clarity is fantastic there, almost like classic monitor screen

[@conservativemike3768]

Comrade Stalin appreciates all foreign purchases of surplus Soviet inventory.

DCS needs to take notes on VR optimization from Il2

[@arsenyjsharov2239]

Greetings! After flying those fighters, will you fly Il-2 the Hunchback/Betonenflugzeug?

[@Matterian]

Nice video GS!! The VR adds an additional level of excitement!! And when the 109 crossed and it looked like you were going to hit it I was thinking "OH no...Not again!!"

[@KekusMagnus]

K4 vs Yak-1B lmao he really got wrecked

[@kaljatonttu4666]

"The Eastern Spitfire" As FAF pilots called the YAKs. .... Might be specifically about the YAK 9. Brewster pilots were not happy about their appereance. On the recieving end of zoom & boom. Just simply had to have fighters escorting fighters. The BF-109 sqadron split in 3. One covering Helsinki. One covering Kotka and one flying top cover for the BWs at Suulajärvi.

[@moose5293]

YAK ATTACK! my man!

[@JFulls94]

Growling Sidewinder can you go over your VR setting? im running a 3080, Ryzen 9 5900X so not a big kick off from your system. Or even could you point me in the direction of a VR guru? Thanks 👍

[@old_guard2431]

Tough engine. You can close the radiators for a bit to drop the drag.

So do you get any neck or back pain with the VR? I hope you look after yourself my dude, that looks quite intense. Time to get back into Yoga maybe...

[@tomcatvrkalisz820]

Il2 AQM will be realised in this week, the new missions variety would be nic to see in the channel.

[@Robert53area]

"When I cross the nose of him in VR, there is the sense of excitement" Translation, I felt my sphincter tighten up looking at the 30mm and 2 20mm cannons looking me in the face. Any last word comps, from IL2?

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

no but I think soon we will have one of those too.

[@no.7893]

The yak1b is super fun but for the love of god close your radiators a little

[@paez4779]

GS, I wonder.if the game reflects this but from what I read the Yak 1 was not as stable in its turns and could be out rated in a two circle fight by the 109.. however it was an even match in the one circle.. Now I don't know if that is consistent with the BF109G or the F model.. I know that it was marginally better that the G but out classed by the F.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

I did have to apply a lot of counter rudder otherwise the yaks wings did want to dip out from under me in a turn

[@tornadoman1054]

Yak 1 and Yak 1B are different, the 'B' version is lighter, has better aerodynamics and a boosted engine.

[@N0MAD..]

The radiator can be covered by 50% during the fight. This will increase the thrust-to-weight ratio.

[@Jyrgenstrator]

🤦 thrust to weight? 😂

[@jelmore9898]

Where my GreaterGreen pilots at? Ready for that Yak 3...

Do you ever do Hellcats? They dominated in the pacific once they recieved them.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

we don't have them in any sim at this time

[@mojoe87]

The skill pods (gun pods) really hamper the knife fighting abilities of the 109. The enemy pilot should not have turned at all, much less tried to engage in a protracted turn fight.

[@abymathew295]

WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE A IAF TEJAS vs PAK JF17 MK3.

Why would anyone put gunpods on a 109 in a dogfight against a more maneuverable fighter?

[@hippoace]

a 109 fanboy 🤣

[@th3lunchb0x]

@@hippoace the K4 has a 30mm Mk108 cannon. No need for the added weight of gunpods. Especially since the Yak has an advantage in maneuverability to start with

[@hippoace]

@@th3lunchb0xSorry I dont mean you. i meant only a 109 fanboy would think a K4 with gunpods will still outmaneuver a Yak-1b.

[@th3lunchb0x]

@@hippoace I wouldn't really even say that. A lot of lesser experienced sim guys think more guns = more lethal. Sure, more guns do more damage but the shortfall of this is that only works if you can get your guns on your enemy. Too many people saddle themselves with unnecessary weight from gunpods and make themselves uncompetitive because they bleed energy too fast and can't turn. Gunpods developed to take out unescorted B-17s, not Yaks. It is rare that someone carrying gunpods on a 109 isn't an easy kill.
