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 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. - Hry

Once again here with what is quickly developing into my favorite Russian Aircraft. Hope you guys are enjoying the Bandit Unknown Series so far, let me know if you have any suggestions for upcoming videos in the comment section below, thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one, much love.
Wheres the yf-23??
Try dogfighting with a bunch of random people, please?
don't know how many DCS mods there are to make this viable, but you could consider an era/decade/or conflict specific theme to Bandit Unknown
SU30 MKI vs unknown please....
"This continues to develop poorly for me,"
Story of my life.
The Bandit unknown fights are a lot of fun to watch but I think a random weapons load out fight would also be fun. Really play into the whole "dogfights aren't supposed to be fair" angle!
not a bad idea at all.
@@GrowlingSidewinder I feel like this format suggested here would be best in BVR starts rather than merge starts, same concept and idea just extending the range to prioritize missile use as that's kinda the whole point of this suggestion as an addition to what you already have, just my 2 cents. Edit: or both would be cool too tbh
Fix Bayonets! 😂
I fly a lot of ground attack in the F16, and find myself getting into impromptu air to air fights all the time with a full load of Mavericks and drop tanks lol.
My hope is to be able to keep some distance with the AIM 120s but it gets really frustrating when I have to jett my payload just to fight another jet lol.
Then proceed to fly all the way back to pick up more mavs.
@@desertrat7756 According to his "Su-57 Felon Vs Eurofighter 2000 Typhoon Dogfight"-Video, GS seems to be familiar with this tactic....;)
"Seems very primitive, but weirdly capable and full of surprises" - basically all main line russian/soviet designed weapons summarised in one line. This seeming primitiveness I think streams from prioritised simplicity, whilst surprises and capability - from the often out of the box yet effective, straight to the point point way weapon designers of this region think.
This way of thought and design I suppose streams from the fact that soviet/russian designers were always short on funds and had to use the simplest solutions possible to achieve lowest costs, but also to find out of the box decisions to make those solutions as capable as more complicated ones. There is even a russian proverb: "Голь на выдумку хитра", which means "Poor people come up with the most cunning solutions".
There also were a lot of very complex and ingenious soviet/russian weapon designs, like AN94 ir AEK assault rifles, but only those which had the best cost and simplicity to capability ratio got to be main service weapons, and Mig 29 is one of them.
On the other hand, american weapon designs, for example, are very capable, they are often famous for their tremendous cost because american weapon designers and firms had much more funds historically partly because USA was never in finansial desperation since the great depression, partly because american weapon trials work differently. American designers focus more than their soviet/russian counterparts on impressing clients with their creations to get it adopted, because they work in environment of free market (idk what is the term in English) where it is most important to get the government contract and get money with it. They still put out excellent machines, but they are a lot of those which were made just to be sold and those which are made to get in the army are not as restricted on funds and don't need to be as cunningly simple.
It's a bit messy but I hope you got the idea.
P.S. Soviet desperation for funds is based on history. WW2 destroyed most of soviet infrastructure and took tremendous amount of human resource, and in such difficult conditions soviet industry had to come up with weapons and solutions that would be on par with american ones. Contruary to this USA's blooming economy got even better after WW2 because the infrastructure was not damaged at all in the war and human life loss was a dozen times less severe - 0.6 million vs 20 - 27 million. Plus USA got war reparations and a lot of influence.
This is a really interesting point!
There's actually a similar idea in the American business world, with the most famous version being coined by Bill gates.
"I will always choose a lazy person for a difficult job. Because, he will find an easy way to do it." This being an example of a 'work smart, not hard' mentality.
It may very well be a concept he adopted from Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord's following quote.
"I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."
(I'm unaware of who did the translation.)
Only read this cus i like jets 😆
@@ethanaterx5046 Yes, this is very similar, except in that time (war and afterwar USSR) the laziness factor was replaced by "we are very short on resources"
Думаю дело не столько в бюджетах, сколько в практичности, которую диктует опыт войн. Что самолет, что автомат - чем легче их производить, обслуживать и юзать - тем больше они роляют.
Голь на выдумку хитра, это да. Интересно - сколько у 29-го было "детких болезней" с таким подходом
I appreciate some love toward the Mig-29. Was the first Cold War jet I fell in love before even learning about Vietnam. It’s not the best but any experienced pilot can turn that warbird into a menace 🙂
I like these videos! I made a single player version where it picks a random aircraft at expert difficulty to fight! Very good at helping to practice BFM!
Ooh that sounds really handy, any chance you can upload the mission file? Randomized enemies is something I’ve had a hard time getting to work
Mission file please!
@@joshburgin4379 hi there! Its very simple to make! Place all of the units you (the player would like to play) and face them in a certain direction. Next, place all of the desired enemy aircraft and set them about 10NM away from your aircraft. Face them towards you using waypoints. To randomise them, use a “set flag random value” flag to randomise which aircraft will be spawned. For example: set flag random value 1-10. If flag = 10, group active “MiG 29”.
Sorry for the long reply. I don’t know how to upload missions!
Its a shame, really. I love making elaborate campaigns for me and my buddies. For me to not be able to share them is a shame.
@@youraveragejoe9298 isn't it just a file you can send or upload?
@@thierrykaslan2756 yeas its a MIZ file. I dont know who and where to send it and it would take a while to upload it as it needs to go through moderation.
The SMT upgrade of Mig-29 removes all the piping and has a much modern cockpit comparable to F-16 Blk 25. Mig-29M/M2/K have fly by wire and have performance improvement. Mig-35 is an evolution of Mig-29 based on same baseline, but a completely different aircraft. I would love to see J-10 and F/A-18 go against Mig-29.
Very much so 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
The Mig-29 feels primitive because the version we have in DCS is not fly-by-wire and that significantly limits its one-circle performance and to a lesser degree, sustained turn rate. The Mig-29M / Mig-35 are much more capable fighter aircraft.
While some pilots prefer to have direct control, the aerodynamic performance of the plane is bottled up and a fly-by-wire computer opens it up.
Considering how capable GS is in all his Mig-29 Videos, he has come close and has slayed much more capable aircrafts. If DCS ever gets a Mig-35 module, I imagine GS would just start taking down F-22s in it left and right lol
@@charlienash1050 Polish migs when training with the US ally make the americans scared because the pilots do crazy manouvers to try and win and that is sometimes dangerous lol...
@@300spartan2222 Which Polish Migs do you mean? Ah yes, I remember, the ones they got from Germany. Improved avionics and all. Yeah, German quality work FTW!
@@TheSevenUpMan In fact they only made communications compatible with NATO standards. The rest was pretty much the original equipment, and since those were export versions, they had inferior radar compared to their Soviet contemporaries. That was why they were mostly used to train close distance air combat. In any case what impressed Americans the most was the R-73 missile agility and off-boresight capabilities, which accelerated the development of the AIM-9X.
@@300spartan2222 During the 90s, before the arrival of the AIM-9X NATO pilots had strictly forbidden to enter in dog fights against MiG-29 if they could avoid it. In part because of maneuvrability, but also because since 1985 they had the R-73 with vectoring thrust and helmet mounted sight. American fighters didn't get those capabilities until the AIM-9X entered service in 2003.
It's impressive how GS knows to recognize all the types of aircrafts so fast !!!
At one point in time ,I could do the same with Harleys when I was driving mine.
I struggle like crazy just to follow the bandit's outline during the dogfight, maybe it's my screen that doesn't have enough resolution.
Of course it's significant the huge screen with high resolution but still there are so many types of aircrafts that is quit difficult to remember all the small differences in amount of 1 sec
@@Stormidze ахаха) классная шутка. Точняк, rd-33/93 коптят жестко))
you hang around airplanes as long as a lot of us have, you could identify specific types of aircraft...like F-16CJ, F-16 Sufa, etc...
That J-15 with those canards, if I was playing, I would've identified as a Yellow or Gelb Su-37 Terminator of Erusea or Belka.
I would of just said su33 as that's the only plane in dcs that has the canards haha
@@RisingTyger Sad Viggen noise
Damn imagine if DCS made a Su-37 module. It'd be insane. I know the Su-37 is basically an experiment concept but even with that, it's basically an even better Su-35. So It'd truly be an insane fight against one
@@Mike_Romeo hahaha yeah true 👍 😆
11:10 if fulcrum's 30mm Canon hits at this point would turn tomcat to a fireball in an actual fight
Love watching the Migs go up and handle business. Let’s get crazy and do a Mig 21 Bandit Unknown.
@GS thanks a lot for reinstating the slow-mo, closeup ammo strike scenes and the soulful dirge as the brave adversaries meet their death.
It's your signature feature of this channel and is much appreciated.
Carry on.
"It (the Mig29) seems primitive..."
I took picts of one back when a Russian get together displayed at a Salinas ,Califony air show. It really did look like a truck, with many heavy duty controls and things hanging in the air stream. But Russian weather dictates "all weather", and performance. The real show stopper was the enormous transport and a flight of the now great A10 'Thunderbolt'. I think its beautiful in a WW2 kind'a way.
For me the Mig 29 is the AK74 of the skies... Rugged, reliable, beutifully crafted with modesty. With its bounds of limitations but none the less capable of excelling in areas to get the job done.
MiG-29 for life! Love this Fighter!
Great fighting as always GS but I just want to mention the great editing you do on here. Those slow motion closeups of machines in their death-throes with that choral music is just so hauntingly beautiful... in such a weird way....
The Mig-35 with the optional 3D thrusters would be a bit too OP without mention the improved fly by wire systems and what not, the Fulcrum itself can rivalize the Hornet in a dogfight (In DCS at least, not sure in real life).
It would be interesting to see a fight between the Super Hornet and the Mig-29K, to see who could win the tittle of the best carrier aircraft in DCS.
Once again, that was a thing of beauty. I've always been partial to the MiG over the Sukoi ever since Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" back in the 80s. You really did a great job demonstrating it's capabilities...
Thanks yet again for another great video... Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine.
I once heard a story from a friend in the Air Force that the Soviets designed the Mig-29 by looking at contemporary 70s and 80s models of American fighters like the F-14, F-15, and F-16, and picked the structural elements that they thought looked best or might be most useful. But since they didn't know what was actually on the inside of those fighters, you wind up with this 80s-style fighter body crammed full of old 60s era tech.
You know I found this channel when I was prepping for boot camp, and I watched it every day at the gym for almost two months. I forgot how much I missed these videos till I got out of boot camp and watched you use the Mig-29 while we where leaving Chicago. In short, amazing videos man, it’s really great to watch
Have you ever thought about doing a video on the Douglas A-1 Skyraider Vs a Mig 15?
The vietnam era had a variety of excellent aircraft....
Well done GS no meeting with the Ministry this tour. Super nice flying. great video
I'm loving these Bandit Unknown videos. You can apply that format to damnear every aircraft in DCS. I hope you keep the series rolling, maybe even a _Moron Unknown_ derivative 🤣😱😹😁😂😅💥👁️👀👁️
Regarding the Mig 35, yeah that thing is the most agile jet I've seen other than the final variant of the F-15 ACTIVE series that had 3D TVC, canards, and some sort of weird wing thruster shit that allowed it to do a sort of viffing thing like the Harrier, only with all the other advantages of extreme agile capability the modified Eagle already possessed. The Mig 35 is still pretty damn close, if you go to you tube search with MIG 35 FLIGHT DEMOS,
you'll see exactly how badass the 35 is.
Moron Unkown xDDDD good idea
2:17
GS: This is a good show if you are on the ground
Narrator: until lost bullets and jets start to hit the ground
Pastor Sidewinder : "Lo I travel through the Valley of Jeff... I shall fear no Chi-Com ripoff. For my Soviet OG Mig-29 is with me. My sword and my staff. Oh shit!!!"
Great show on the ground, especially when you bought that beach side penthouse at 3:33 ;)
Let’s roll. I can’t believe I’m addicted to your videos. They are so well made and I love the comments. If you fly a Rafael under French colors, you would need to make a video of you running away from everyone. That would be funny. Longshot would Fox 2 you every time. LOL
I'm very much enjoying these videos. You inspired me to put together a co-op / single player version of this together.
Great video GS thanks, I really needed that today I can’t get enough of watching your videos and watching you fly.
MiG-29 OVT with a controlled thrust vector. I remember his performance at the MAKS air show in 2011 in Moscow. By the way, this was the last MAKS where your American delegation arrived. Then for the first time I saw live your F-15, F-16, C-5, C-17 planes and my most beloved American plane A-10. As far as I know, all the best from the MiG-29 OVT has been transferred to the MiG-35. Thank you for the video with the MiG-29! My father was an engineer at the airfield of this aircraft in the USSR.
Only one word for mig29 when Growling sidewinder is sitting in it : "Boss" is here.
Love the Mig-29. Glad you're lovin' it so much too GS!!
I like to fly through the hollow center of that sail shaped skyscraper on the beach.
God damn these videos simulators have come a long way from the games I played in the 90’s.
Always love the bandit unknowns. This ep was also very realistic in the kinds of aircraft a mig 29 would actually be asked to intercept
Not really, mostly fought redfor airplanes
Whoever was flying that tomcat know what they are doing in the big bird... Very controlled and the first turn performance was spot on! perfect speed for the merge
I'm really enjoying the Mig-29 content. She's a beautiful bird.
I'd love to see the Bandit Unknown formula applied to Il-2, perhaps especially in a weaker aircraft like the I-16, 109 E-7, or P-40.
Search " Key things are omitted from reports " on youtube.
The media isn't going to tell you this...it goes against their narrative.
@@cosmoray9750 no
Love watching your videos dude, I have actually learned a lot about dogfighting and BFM, all knowledge which was confirmed by my F-16 fighter pilot friend! Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Love the Bandit unknown fights GS! Great job.
Tomcat almost got you with the canopy and the abandoned airframe!
Really enjoy your content, Cheers and merry Xmas.
Fun video, I love the MiG-29 and enjoy the 'bandit unknown' format a lot.
bandit unknown is one of my favourites series from you i cannot lie XD
Great vid gs! Stay safe, happy holidays!
Nice Rudder work. That J15 skid counter great stuff
I just love how the mig says "NOLA" while you are shredding his wing to pices
I so wish I had the money to get set up for this looks like a blast. Not that I would have time to get good at it but would still be a blast to goof around with
Great vids watch them all, thanks for putting one on for Christmas eve that one had a fantastic start loved it. I really like the ww2 clips. Would love to see more wirh other aircraft. Please and thank you... Merry Christmas and a happy new year...
I replayed that kill at 7.05 like 15 times. Great shot.
Merry Christmas to you and LS! 👍👍
Was really expecting a "my name is Jeff" in there at the end.
That was interesting and cool :) Thanks guys!
You’ve gotten pretty deadly with the 29. I like it.
Hey, Growling Sidewinder, I wonder when DCS developers will create a model for MiG-29 OVT the thrust vectoring jet with a fly-by-wire system. This actually was the prototype of the MiG-35 which is in service now but MiG-35 doesn't have thrust vectoring as initially planned. The OVT was demonstrated 10 years ago in 2011.
A couple of videos of this MiG-29 OVT similar to those with the F15 STOL would be fantastic. Something like "OVT and Bandit Unkown" or OVT vs any other 4++ or 5th generation jets.
Amazing. Love the '29
MiG-29: the greatness of simplicity. Doing so much, with the less...
Merry Xmas all over the sky! You should dogfight Santa, GS, that would be the most direspectfull fight ever!!
Have you ever thought about showing your control inputs with an overlay? It would help me see how hard you’re pulling at times because I struggle with the rate fight
The mig 29 really looks fun!
Sweet. Superbly handled.
So good! Thanks man.
have you ever managed to use the buildings on the map to either get a maneuver kill or help when you're defensive? like what you see in the movies?
@Growling oh, my God... dude, we gotta get you on some sort of detox on this whole Mig 29 thing! =D
You just nailed Tom Cruise at round 3
Fastest click in the west
Can we see some high speed canopy passes when you're victorious? Flares for added effect would be a festive touch, like a parade.
It's the Miata/S2000/lotus of the jet world. Simple. Basic. Great in the hands of a skilled pilot. Mig is definitely sexier tho.
Love that analogy. When I was 19 I owned a 94 miata, and my dad had a 92 and a 94. We would go race them in time trials, and there would be guys in american muscle cars, and uber expensive foreign sedans, and you could always tell they were new to the track, because the miata's, s2000's, and del Sol's with b series would all be getting the top times. If any of the guys who brought their brand new mid life crises discovered they enjoyed the track they would go buy a cheap Japanese car with something like a 1.6 or 1.8 in order to be competitive. Nothing is as fast on a winding country road as a 92 miata with a manual transmission, it doesn't even come close to weighing a ton, so you feel like you're in a gokart, and having rear wheel drive you can feel exactly when the back end comes loose, and control exactly how far sideways you want to be. There isn't a better car to learn how to drive fast in. It was always our goal to put a v6 or even a v8 in a miata just because but never got around to it, someday maybe with my kids. Love when someone else appreciates those cars.
When GS said "Mig 29, bandit unknown," I was expecting to see a LOT of F-22's.
Here's hoping that I get disappointed...
Rd. 3 looked like he was about to stall when you gave him the final burst.
The 29 is like the AK of fighter aircraft, a bit primitive, simple but powerful and effective
Even in real life those Mig 29 feel like they fly on diesel because of that black smoke 😆
Would be cool if you could get some 2v2 fights going on. Having a wingman and another aircraft to worry about would open up a whole other world of tactics.
You have great aim when leading longer distances.
Have a merry Christmas and happy New Year's
Lol 3rd video in a row where you've prematurely called splash on a bandit
I must say that the mig 29 is still an interesting aircraft, a small thing that I would improve is the aiming system of the machine gun, for me not as immediate as it aims.
Just strafed the bejeezus out of that Tomcat! Dang.
This series (unknown bandits) is second only to the two idiots series.
Astonishing dogfighter the Mig29 in the right hands!!!
Whenever GS says good good good you know he knows he f'd up!
I'm just falling in love with the Mig-29
We can watch Mig-29s for real now. :(
Maybe a hand cam? I want to see what it looks like with you flipping switches and what your throttle Looks when do these acrobatics
I always thought that piping holding the hud together was the look down shoot down system the mig 29 was touted as having back when it was the new hot thing
7:50 it's a Gen 4 aircraft made with gen 3 technology basically
The Syrian lead turn on round 2 was spectacular!
Excellent piloting...
dropped the first 29 onto that building nciely
Nice show from the ground, until a Mig 29 crashes through your apartment roof and levels the building.
Merry Christmas! May y'all have a happy, healthy, safe holiday season.
I love mig29 videos. So much fun 😁
Wow what a great show! Come see this kids you guys see that nice manuvers..did you see that turn some fish tail overshoot and lo........
Killed in action .
Mig-29 is one hell of a fighter!
At least there wasn't a possibility of the F-22 forming up on your wing on this day.
could you do bandit unknown with WW2 and or WW1 aircraft? That would be pretty awesome to see. It can always give you more vids to do. :)
The first plane crashed into a newly opened Jamba Juice
Merry Christmas Right on make them pay
MiG-29 is just about one of the sexiest fighters out there.
A lot of very close near collisions.
