    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.

    GS used the original Top Gun move in round 3. He hit the brakes and the F15 flew right by him.

  • @KergylKraft
    @KergylKraft Před rokem +77

    I love watching GS dominate in the Tomkitty, and then I hop in the F-14 on my own and do the same style fight with not quite as good results. All that goes to show, is that Growling Sidewinder is incredibly good at dogfighting.

    The F15 landing with 3/4 of a wing, cobra of the Tomcat. Fantastic vid keep up the good work love your content.

  • @PhillipChalabi
    @PhillipChalabi Před rokem +42

    I was prepared to be a little let down when he took your 6 in round 3. You snatched victory right out of the teeth of defeat. Perfection on utilizing the cobra, you were cooked otherwise, and like you always say you only pull that maneuver when you are out of options.
    Awesome fight!

  • @davidbonds3202
    @davidbonds3202 Před rokem +98

    What an excellent video/pairing! The length of round 1 and the back and fourth, the Eagle coming back from the brink in Round 2, and finally the cobra for the win in Round 3!
    I enjoy all your dogfight videos, but this has to be one of the best.

    I love how in the span of a few seconds you decide that a cobra is optimal and it works. That’s some real Tom Cruise stuff right there

  • @MCA2A
    @MCA2A Před rokem +30

    I can't believe they have never made a Super Tomcat with stealth, updated systems, etc. Not only was the F 14 the coolest fighter, but one of the best designs.

    • @ICECAPPEDSKY
      @ICECAPPEDSKY Před rokem +20

      The thing is about the Tomcat is it probably wouldn’t have been replaced by the F/A18 on mass if the F14 was a fixed wing aircraft. A lot of the F14’s performance comes from it’s variable geometry but that same feature also dug it’s grave in terms of cost and maintenance

    One would think Tom Cruise should be able to get his hands on an old F-14 somewhere....

    • @ICECAPPEDSKY
      @ICECAPPEDSKY Před rokem +6

      It’s not that he couldn’t. It just wouldn’t be flight worthy, the only F14’s left that are flightworthy are in Iranian service. All museum pieces and F14’s in the boneyard have been stripped of components

    Always fun to watch and learn from you.

  • @KenVic02
    @KenVic02 Před rokem +25

    Silly question perhaps, but I noticed the F-14 in DCS and even in the original Top Gun movie makes a point of showing a lot of buffeting/vibration from within the cockpit. I've not seen it much on the other DCS fights on this channel. Is that unique to the F-14 more so than other planes? Perhaps only when the wings are in low speed mode, etc? Great post as always.

  • @corvette7784
    @corvette7784 Před rokem +5

  • @koffeekorner4207

    Been a while since i could watch DCS content again, but man i love me some ratefighters in the F-14 and -15, it's always a guessing game who'll slot into whose 6.. also, im hoping for the day we get the F-14D and get that sweet blue paint scheme ive seen of those in

    @elidawn4971 Před rokem +2

    Great show. 14v15 is awesome. Two cold war era beasts.
    And the F-15 was designed with a lifting body. The fuselage alone provides about 30% of its lift.

    • @ICECAPPEDSKY
      @ICECAPPEDSKY Před rokem +6

      The F14 has very similar lift properties which contributes to their similar flight performance

    4:52 why’d the Eagle have his land gear out ?

    • @nvb9218
      @nvb9218 Před rokem +2

      Landing gear down during combat is sometimes used to indicate a wish to surrender, but IDK why the Eagle pilot'd do that in a DCS fun dogfight.

    Hey GS, the new AOA Buffet option may give you an advantage in combat, it is alot less shaky and smoother than the old one. It's in the special options menu under F-14.

  • @joshpeterson2451
    @joshpeterson2451 Před rokem +3

    GS, I know you said you didn't prefer them, but it'd be great to see you load up 15 AIM-152 GDW AAAMs on an F-14D Tomcat and take on a bunch of Flankers or Fulcrums over the ocean, or something like that. It'd be awesome to see a quasi-Super Tomcat 21 in action!

  • @SVTL4799
    @SVTL4799 Před rokem +2

    Talking about guns only, patience, and loving an airplane that’ll do what you tell it to do even if it means breaking the aircraft (no FCS), you’d think we’d see more WWII stuff!

  • @Matterian
    @Matterian Před rokem +1

    So you hit that Eagle in the back. you probably his hydraulic lines that held the gear in the bay. BUT When a Pilot puts his wheels down it's a sign of surrender back in the day?That Cobra was perfect by the way...the timing was epic!! I really want to know what an F-14 Tomcat would look like if it were built RIGHT now. Great video by the way. You can never go wrong with Tomcat content ever!

  • @mikeyhbr

  • @lemmi3449
    @lemmi3449 Před rokem +10

    IDK if that has been brought up before, since you mentioned you using differential thrust in the F14, would it be possible to implement the controls overlay in some form? I think that would make it a lot easier to understand and learn from your tactics :)

    The swing wings on the Tomcat, while one of its great assets, also hurts it in a couple areas. The maintenance of the hydraulic systems was a nightmare, but it also means you can't hang any ordnance on them.
    Makes you wonder if Grumman had eliminated them for a Supertomcat, if it would have swung things in its favor away from the fat hornet. Stick a set of F4 Phantom wings on the Tomcat and see how she looks.
