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. - Hry

It's hard for me to put into words exactly how much I love the F-14 Tomcat. Thanks for watching guys, I'll see you in the next one. Much Love.
The f14 is beautiful
I'm an F-14 RIO, and it is equally deadly and beautiful. It might be old, but the radar on it still remains one of the most powerful.
How far can you put out the Flaps with an analog Input bevore they stuck?
@@Kazperh IYHO, how much of a fight could it really put up in a dogfight with a 5th gen fighter like the Raptor or the Felon? That scene in Top Gun Maverick where the F-14 is fighting a couple of Felons is one of my favorite movie scenes, and I know it's a movie, but it doesn't look like it could really put up a fight against 5th gen fighters. I would love to hear your take. Honest question.
F-22 Raptor VS Nine North Korean MIG-29's BVR!
You should do the series "Dogfight everything" in this plane and see how well it stacks up against all the other fighters you come across
yes, but a livestream
Its called “Bandit unknown “
He has fought just about every aircraft available in the f14
But GS must find the best pilots in each plane to face off against him, otherwise it wouldn’t be a fair comparison
@@deterdettol That sounds like an epic anime.. xD
I love how the F-14 reminds me of coasting downhill in my grandpa's old farm truck.
LOL yeah, the one with like NO suspension left *shakes her head grinning*
Man the F-15 got an hitmarker on the F-14 that did no damage. That is indeed unfortunate.
That round was like .5 MoA from a dead pilot and apparently hit nothing of importance. I expect that radar was holding on by it's wiring. 😂
Yeah I would be super shocked if he'd have had radar for that fox2 kill. More likely that be would have had to fight the rate fight into a gun kill, if losing radar meant he had no gun sight though its probably a F15 Victory right there. F15 Also almost got him first in their 3rd fight but it decided to pull an F14 move and fly a direction the pilot wasn't intending which was funny to watch.
"Just spark" as we call it
Babe wake up new GrowlingSidewinder video dropped!
Props to Toxic for being your punching bag for so many videos as of late. He's doing great, just unable to reliably turn the tables on you yet.
Thx Toxic!
Apparently that F-14B has a bullet proof vest...lol You were toast in the first one.
Not really...the F15 was close and had what COULD have been a good kill.
However, when you watch what happened...the F15 may have had 1 round go into the left wing near the outside area which is very minimal damage.
So while he was close...this ain't horse-shoes and hand grenades.
Peace
@@heathb4319 I thought a round or two went into the F-14's nose? Maybe they hit in front of the radar and I think there's just empty space in that section there? Anyway, it was very close!
I'm somewhat surprised that no one has modded the Super Tomcat 21. This thing would be a beast with more power and a modern FS (and helmet cued AIM-9X).
Never amazes me at well you drive the plane you're given, and how smart you are at applying the appropriate tactics.
you dont drive planes you fly them lolz
@@fuckyouleftube If you're trying to be pedantic, you pilot the plane and the plane does the flying, hence why you're called a pilot and not superman.
@@Stant123 nah
So what you're saying is "it's not the plane, it's the pilot"
@@fuckyouleftube - Old school. Look up 'Thud Driver'.
I like that you are so objective in your videos it makes your videos a lot better
Interesting that you visually check his AOA for speed cues. Probably something fighter pilots have done since the days of Richthofen and Rickenbacker.
it's a no bullshit way to read the bandits airspeed and nearly impossible for him to try to "cover it up"
@@GrowlingSidewinder Very useful, as is many things you have taught me through your videos. :)
@@GrowlingSidewinder considering if you "cover it up" you end up in the dirt. Id say you're correct!
Richthofen is overrated. Werner Voss was a far better pilot.
I love those F-14 cockpit sounds under pressure. This might be my next module.
The small commentary about the jets crashing in the cities is just the polish I never knew I needed but enjoy tenfold.
🤙
Your level of micromanagement of the F-14 just blows my mind and motivates me to do better.
And like the Hokie Pokie....
That's what it's all about!!
Good luck in your efforts and always train above your level. That is the only true way to learn more.
The Tomcat stuff never gets old for me. Saved this one in my library that’s how much I loved it lol.
I think this is one of your best showcases of the F-14 by far, you really made her sing, and it was nice change not using the A variant with all the endless compressor stalls. This one was a joy to watch. :)
Agreed. Amazing how agile that big old truck is, especially slow/high alpha.
You don't have to prove skill, but you do it in every video. Also shows the F14 had a lot of miles left on her when she was pulled from service. Give her the Super Tomcat upgrades and it'd be a beast.
This is solid, “Its not the plane, its the pilot.” theory right here.
I hate when people say "the plane A is better than the plane B, therefore the plane B has no chance against the plane A." They fail to realise that so many factors have to be accounted for when it comes to dogfights (and aerial engagements in general) and the pilot's skills are probably the most important one. It's all about probability, really. Like you said, the F-16 does have a higher probability of scoring a kill against the F-14, but the greater probability does not mean that it will always win. Your video illustrates this perfectly well. Thank you for sharing!
Now that we know the F-14 is very good in the 1 circle and slow rollers, I'd like to see a 2v2 fight...see what a Tomcat has to do to adjust against a enemy wingman hangin outside the fight...
you can jam the flaps and sweep the wings forward like this without breaking something.
I would love a detailed entire tutorial series about the F-14 made by you, pilot and RIO. I love F-14 so much. Thank you for all your videos.
I was going to say that pilot skill matters ALOT - as well as following what works and don't force things.
Whenever one ejects from an F-15 after a dogfight and is later recounting the events at a tavern, which includes this bit: “…and then his 20 mm cannon shot off my radar and blew apart my HUD and instrument panel,” that is one is one *lucky* SOB.
Would love to see a simulation where you are having to fly over enemy territory with random MANPAD systems scattered throughout. Would love to see how those threats would be dealt with along with having to deal with enemy planes.
Frequently people say "switch the aircrafts and fight again!" but if someone is really good at a certain aircraft, they may be able to surprise a skilled opponent in a "more capable" aircraft. Doesn't mean that pilot in the "inferior" aircraft is as capable and/or skilled flying the opponents' plane.
Can’t go wrong with Tomcat videos. 👍 Maybe a fleet defense scenario sometime?
I'm amazed at the skill of both you guys throwing those massive jets around the sky like that. Super entertaining!
You realize those are pixels? It takes a lot of skill to play like that, but they aren't throwing no jets around.
Basically anyone can beat anyone in almost anything. Just fight your fight and take advantage of any mistakes. Love watching these fights. Can't get enough of them
The Tomcat and the Eagle are really two different missions. As the main fleet long range interceptor, the Tomcat was really built around defending the fleet against the Tu-22 Backfire. That was the sole purpose when the aircraft was still just an idea on paper. The Phoenix missile and the huge AWG-9 radar and then the upgraded APG-71 on the F-14D were tailor made for that mission. Where as the Eagle was specifically built for every aspect of air domination from BVR to guns only dogfighting. The fact you can hang with an Eagle in a furball is a tribute to not only the airframe, but your piloting skills. Because of the extreme maneuverability of the Viper, I was very skeptical about your chances in a guns only fight because I have watched you dominate all enemies in one yourself. But he made some poor energy management choices and hoping you would shoot right past him. Like the knight in the Indiana Jones movie said "...he chose poorly.."
It was not built as a interceptor, it was built for fleet air defense and meant to deal with fighter. Because the Tu-22 was a bomber that the US navy saw as a threat one of the requirements for the f14 was long range interception. But that doesn’t make it a interceptor it’s still a fighter.
Really, really enjoying your content and vids GS. Stumbled across your channel about 2 months ago, looking for the whole "F-14 split throttle" thing, and have been an avid watcher ever since. Seeing you use the split throttles now is awesome, like a rally driver left foot braking. Great work. Thanks to Longshot, Shotgun, Toxic and all the other guys who make up your vids. Thanks Man.
When you lost the F15 behind your tail in round 3 it reminded me of the locker room banter in a scene in the original Top Gun ... "Where'd he go?" ... "Where did whoooo go?"
Excellent flying! I don't compete in DCS but I just love watching your dogfights! So entertaining! Thank you!
that Tomcat paint job is so sick
As i saw in an article abt dogfighting between F-15's, -16's and -18's , it's not always about the fighter jet but the man flying it, well done growly!
Really surprised you don't play in VR. Honestly Eagle Dynamics should gift you an Aero.
he has played vr before, the reason he doesn’t in most videos is that its a lot easier to capture video when using track ir
@@_cyantist Yeah the VR videos come out all shaky. The Track IR videos have better quality for us in 2d land.
Split throttle is what I liked to use back in 2007-2008 to defeat F-15’a and F-18’s, F-16’s and other F-14’s. It’s an F-14 thing we discovered and when we deploy flaps and use the break and that split throttle it made the F-14 capable of slower flight and with its power allowed it to climb when it needed. Of course the pilot had to learn all of these things. I’ve got some high altitude air combat ideas if you want to try them.
A few nail biting close calls there! Great video! 👍
Love watching two fighters pirouette, almost within touching distance, looking for an advantage. Great piloting skills, love it!!
I've always loved fighter aircraft for their beauty and man the graphics of DCS are getting so good and I could watch these videos all day.
Man I wish there was a good force feed back stick available. It would make all the difference in the F-14.
Always neat to see and hear your concern when a damaged jet fighter is about to crash down on virtual cities. You're a good guy.
Great skill! I really enjoy playing your content in the background while I'm working. Strange form of meditation, lol.
For context the nose cone of most if not all military aircraft containing radar is made of a laminated fibre structure( older Aircraft usually fibreglass)and not metal so a hit in the nose wouldn't necessarily even detonate unless it hit a support structure. Even radar scanner 'dishes' are extremely fragile and structurally weak, hence the nosecone. Usually nosecone are attached via a ring and forward cockpit/ fuselage bulkhead, and hinged along this line creating a lot of space for the scanner to rotate inside. The radar basically hangs off the bulkhead on a mounting. Not attached to the nosecone in any way. I went a little off topic but the point is a cannon hit on the nose wouldn't necessarily do serious damage, depending on the trajectory of the round.
I love that paint job on the 14, reminds me of something on a mig or sukhoi
Feel like he should have had you with the gun in that 1st fight, dancing through the lead rain. Great video!
GS, love your videos and thank you for sharing them with us. Your editing and commentary is what makes your videos stand out among all the other flight simulator vids. I was wondering do you and Toxic or other pilots discuss the engagements after in a sort of debrief? Toxic had a tough day.
Just took the chance and watched last night... And CZcams recommends your vids... Nice Christmas 🤶
YEAH!!! Working the Tomcat brother.
Good job keeping it relevant.
it was so cinematographic, the 3rd round, bravo 👏
You mention in most F14 dogfights about the flaps being out and breaking the aircraft in order to win the fight(s) since that’s the preferable alternative to dying but can you explain next time how and why it’s breaking the aircraft? How are the flaps getting jammed and why can’t they be raised after the fight is won?
They jam because the internal mechanisms that deploy the flaps aren’t tough enough to hold up to anything more than a 1.5G turn at 225 Knots. They simply break.
Unless specially made for it, flaps are usually only deployed at low speed for landing and take-offs. The F14's are designed for 225kts and 2.5G (I think). Exceeding that bends and breaks things enough so that the flaps wont retract. If you can't retract the flaps, you can't sweep your wings which in turn leaves you slow and vulnerable.
Did all F14 models have this issue?
@@PvtPartzz To my knowledge yeah, if you can really call it an issue. When GS uses flaps, he's not using them for their intended purpose, which is landing, so they were never designed for dogfighting. That's why no variant "fixed" this "issue". The designers specifically mentioned not to use flaps during dogfights because they couldn't hold up.
Always a pleasure to watch! Also I look for which planes seem to manage the roller fighter best (pretty cool to see the viper last as long as it did in that slow fight)
One thing I noticed about the tomcat is that the simulator has it shaking like an old bucket when you do a tight corner and I never notice that in the F15/16/22 vids.
love the f14! it reminds me of my first car, a 1978 jeep wagoneer that rattled down the nasty pothole roads of massachusetts.
I enjoy all of your DCS videos, but especially the Tomcat ones. 👍
I was staring down the pipper on round 2 and your reflex to pull the trigger as soon as the F-16 is planform in your HUD... 👨🏻🍳
Really appreciate the F-14 dogfights! Keep them coming!
My daily dose of Dcs from GS more videos all I need hope to see you and LS on a mission soon
Love the videos!
love the f-14 battles, keep them coming bud.
your f-14 gameplay is awesome. i love it!
Yes - these F14 fights are super fun to watch.
2:58 Took one in the left wing about 3/4 of the way to the wing-tip. Surprised the wingtip didn't come off. Ah, doesn't matter, can fly without it.
I get what you mean, I had a car in sim racing that was at first difficult but so rewarding and formidable when you used all it's capabilities
Absolutely best DCS videos and my current favorite. Love the F14 content!
I'm building my new PC in January. The build will DCS driven and I will be piloting an F14 for sure. Top Gun actually made me want to join the military and I did. I was a fighting man in the Marine Corp infantry for 16 year, got hurt and had to get out. But air power was what made me interested in the military. Thanks for the content, maybe I'll get to dog fight you in the near future
The F-14 is my favorite combat aircraft of all time. Love to see you work your magic with it.
Best channel to watch while doing Lundry 👌
Love your flying and the channel -- the f14 is just icing -- best plane of all time!! Keep pushing her hard brother!
The F-14 / F-15 dogfight is like a thanksgiving dinner where your two middle aged, overweight uncles boasting about their glory days in football turning into a 1-on-1 scrimmage in the backyard.
Love the F-14 videos, my man. Keep them coming, please.
Much obliged Sir, I enjoyed that very much, can't wait for my retirement, this going to be an interesting project. Too much to learn.
The third person views and seeing you work the differential thrust is awesome looking
Keep those tomcat videos coming bro!
It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot! I thought we went over this.
TIL:
Growling Sidewinders intro audio is from a fight over the Mediterranean between a pair of tomcats and a pair of MiG23s
Sick af.
The way the F-16 crashed in the field reminded me of the cornfield bomber F-106
Great video!
You are right comrade. You must bring enemy into your fight to win. The enemy must not be allowed the upper hand!
The F-16N was a absolute monster. Just a gutted out monster that the Tomcat had to deal with in training.
Your superior knowledge/pilot skills makes you one deadly adversary
LOVE the F-14 videos! Please keep them up!
8:38 “it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot”
Never dissapoints with content
I'm not sure there's another plane you fly that tries as hard to shake itself to pieces the whole fight.
WELL ILL BE DAMNED, I got a dcs ad before the video started advertising the ka50, first time I ever got one
Can't wait to see new F-14 videos. Such a beautiful plane.
Awesome! I need the Tomcat !!!!!
That F-14 camo paintjob... maaaan 👍
That last kill was SWEET!
"He's still back there, come on, Mav, do some of that pilot shit"
9:24 "It's not the plane. It's the pilot!" :D
Show me some of that pilot shit, Mav!!
Yes all the tomcat videos!
More Tomcat! Never gets old.
Hey growling! The F-14 is my favorite aircraft. Im really hoping to see more content with the F-14 in the future. Thanks
Yasssss! Any time baby!
I'd like to see you flying the F-15.. when you have time. Love your videos.
I'd like to see afew more missions where you have a friend controlling the AA units trying to shoot you down.
Would love to see you hop in the F-15 and try the same tricks!
Yo GS, Moaaaar f14. lol. The adversary livery is slick. Thanks for the content. As always you pull out all the tricks to get that kitty to co operate. Have a pleasant day. Cheers. If we don't get a video between now and then...Merry Christmas my dude.
Thank you brother, Merry Christmas to you as well. All the best.
I see F-14 content, I instantly hit like 👍
Man I love your F14 vids and the F14 :-)
