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.

Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, thanks again, much Love.
Thank you I have been asking for this for 38 days awesome Vid GS please do more like this!
Thanks for the videos bro. Keep them coming!
You've done P-51 vs F-22, how about I-16 vs SU-57? Also I like the Hornet content, as I just got the Hornet not too long ago so it's cool to see how you fly it.
Day 8 of asking for F-35 air-to-ground/SEAD missions
I was an aircraft mech in an A6 squadron on the Midway during Desert Storm. The night before we got started everyone who could, was up on deck loading bombs. 500 pounders,1000 pounders, and laser guided bombs. That first night of operations we were working 17 hours shifts. Thanks for the call back to Desert Storm
I was an AM2 12 years later with VFA-195 aboard the Kitty Hawk. Never had to help with uploading bombs, though I was sent to the flight deck to help out the lineshack.
@@danieldunlap4077 thanks shipmate
Thanks from an old Navy man for carrying on! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
@@danieldunlap4077 Ahhh the Shitty Kitty! All jokes aside that must have been a blast to be apart of
I feel the need,
The need for SEAD
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is your savior speaking..."
- F15
hangman was flying the f15 lol
I think you're getting more cinematic - with those extreme zooms and the lingering tracking shots as the aircraft gives us a beauty roll.
The F18 may be versatile, but it still needs an amazing pilot like GS
Honestly, this is what I would imagine what Maverick did when he was sent to Iraq (twice).
That’s literally every aircraft
@@Utubesuperstar Good luck doing a2a in a Cessna
@@desne153 what are you on about lmao, how does me saying you need a great pilot to get the most out of an aircraft have anything to do with air to air in a Cessna lmao. Smoothbrain
Darn tootin!
Pretty sure that credit for your narrow escape goes to that F-15... AND me., You see, when you said "Pray for me, guys" I realized that your ACTUAL mission took place well before this video was posted, so...
...I made sure to send a RETROACTIVE prayer.
(You're welcome. 😃)
I was gonna say, it's good to finally see you use the F/A-18 the way it was intended, both the F and the A.
This was intense and exciting. Please, please, please more operation dessert storm and classic battles. Some of the Israeli air wars would be amazing. Have you ever considered doing some of the classic "Dogfights" reenactments? I would love to see it.
I second this idea
Don’t forget the India-Pakistan wars. Does DCS even have the Folland Gnat?
These type of engagements are so much more interesting than the 1v1’s
No HMD in desert storm either. Cool fight man.
THe Hornet is a true multitasker of a fighter!
It's my favorite fighter. It can do ANYTHING, and do it extremely well.
Most excellent mission! Showcases the F-18 beautifully!
8:19 great opportunity missed there to put a clip about eagles arriving from LOTR 😀
thanks for all the constant uploads ! take a well deserved break dude
You make DCS into such an art form, loved this vid so much!
imo this was a GREAT video i love the constant dogfights in a large combat area with stuff going on around you
Fantastic Mission! Love the complex, difficult environments! Great Video as always GS, Thank You.
I was too happy to see this pop up. I was airframe mech on 18s but I wrenched on the deltas(2 seat version on the ones flown in this vid for those that were curious)
VMFA-533
You treated these proper, bro. Keep up the great work.
Nice! Love seeing the Hornet doing Air to Ground missions while handling Air to air at the same time! 🤩🤩
That was an awesome video! Really showing the capability of the Hornet. NICE!!!
Love seeing all the different angles, really puts things in perspective! Would also love to see more of merging with multiple bandits, definitely showcases your skills.
I love the Hornet. No matter the profile, it's a beautiful aircraft.
So chaotic and tense. I love scenarios like this where i dont know if you succed or get shot down. I also like the ''combined arms'' type of missions with different aircraft types
This was awesome please post more f18 missions!
Finally a SEAD video, it’s been a while 😊
Worst part is that you (Navy guy) has to thank the Air Force...
I thought the same thing lol, i’d be mad about that too 😂
They hate each other? Sorry, not from the US
@@2Wayne2bfh No, they'd die saving each other. It's more of a pride thing. A friendly rivalry if you will.
@@2Wayne2bfhits brotherhood in its truest form. You’d fight and die for each other but you also talk mad smack to each other. It’s kinda like how you can talk shit about your sibling but if someone else does or hurts them you go beast mode
Good to hear 👍 Thanks for the explanations
I'm hooked on these episodes with possible senerio like desert storm. More!!!!
Great video, loved the mission aspect. Not sure if it's my connection or what, but this the best looking video from you I've ever seen, tremendous details I haven't seen before.
Great video. Were HMDs fielded in Desert Storm? I think that tech came later. ..
Same for datalink as well, although I’m less certain…
This was great! Could you maybe add the whole return to base part? Like carrier landing in this case? That’d be awesome 😊
Yeah @GrowlingSidewinder im thinking you might get some bang for your buck by retaining your classic 15-minute-or-so format but also adding longer form versions for some missions - might even been an op to start a second youtube channel!
I watch EVERY episode. Totally hooked.
I'd just like to say, I cant stop watching your videos. They are awsome, cant wait to get into this sim stuff.
So cool. It would be awesome to see a night time version of Desert Storm. Regardless, great job as always GS.
Scratch two booze-carriers! Neatly done, man. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Always love seeing the hornet in some multirole. Always gets overshadowed by the f16 and f15 but is a true workhorse
Now THAT was a sick ass video. Bravo Sir
Those CCIP drop are really awesome to see .
I love these mission videos like this. Great stuff!
You make this look so easy
Dude! If that was a real engagement, your voice would've been SO many octaves higher! Hahaha Thanks man.
There is that fitting outro soundtrack again!
Damn your wingman put in work, usually he dies in the first two minutes lol
hi, i love your videos continue with that and congratulation to more than 500k subs.
Gs I love your videos keep up the great work
yes, more Hornet please !!!
Wow, GS, that quickly got... intense - and a lot MORE intense than I expected.
QUESTION : Would that have even been close if you hadn't been so weighed-down with your bomb load?
(BTW, great mission with some real nail-biting moments 👋👍❤- thanks and Happy Holidays, LS!)
The Eagle and the Hornet are both McDonnell Douglas designs. Big brother was just looking out for little brother.
That was spicy! We don't say it enough, but thank you for all your hard work keeping us entertained with fantastic content!
Still would love to see you reenact the Ofira Air Battle from the start of the Yom Kippur War.
Great video. Would love to see more stuff like this. Love the videos with a lot of fighters. Love the confusion. Makes it feel more real. Maybe try a "modernized" desert storm with newer planes? Could be cool.. either way. Love it
Great video!! Love your content good sir!! 🤙👍 I can’t wait to learn and play this game, hoping Christmas brings me what I need for head tracking 😊😊
Sitting watching you in dire straits thinking "you could do with a Han Solo to bail you out now" and boom! Enter the F-15 Millennium Eagle to the rescue! 🤣
You should do more Hornet strike missions from Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. I grew up playing the F/A-18 OIF simulator, this video met my nostalgic needs lol.
My dad served in desert storm as a tanker.
This is the first time I saw you flying my old squad number!! VFA 106
The CAP was putting in WORK in this one!
Somewhere above the sea, a lonely Foxbat awaits the return of GS…
“we are in deep doo-doo” that’s how you know he gonna die (plot twist: someone shot that MiG down)
No, not necessarily. Now, if he said "I think we're good" THEN he's probably going to die
An amazing aircraft like all the teen series, unfortunately the only one confirmed killed in air to air combat by a MiG, there are many claims that are credited to SAMs and AAA for the F-16/15 but a MiG-25 has a confirmed kill on the F-18 during desert storm. Iranian F-14s were also shot down by Iraqis but the claims are disputed.
Love the Hornet!
Kick arse! Good vid this one :)
Probably should have turned those flashing lights off if you’re deep in enemy territory!
Jolly Roger's did this exact thing.
☠️
Awesome. I really like these Iraqi airspace scenarios. More!!
Another Epic
F15s will always have your back
I would imagine the planes next to those blinders aren't in good shape either after that.
Sweet drop could not have been any better
You have a lot of very entertaining missions there.
Any chance you share a few for us . Not everyone can make some magic using the tool to create missions. just Talking about me 😂
This was originally nicknamed the Bullshot... that's not a typo... But NATO still thought it was "inappropriate" 🤦♂️🤣
That was cool 😎
I would love to get a high end computer but like I just got a computer and will probably have it for another few years before considering a new computer.
ANYWAYS. FA-18C WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Very cool scenario!
Air to Air: Fox1-2-3 👿
Air to ground: Rifle 😈
Air to ground bomb: pickle 🤓
Ah, the first war we bleed for our greatest ally (who has never fought alongside us in battle even once)
Beautiful
Great video today.
I Love the legacy Hornet
Great Drop
Love your videos! Have a question though, can’t the enemy see cruise missiles coming at them?
Sure, although some missiles are stealth, actually the concept of stealth was applied to missiles before it was applied to aircraft. And seeing them is also useless if you don’t have system to intercept like the s300/patriot
UNREAL!!,
Haha that was an intense mission
🎉 super video
Man i love these desert storm operations but i don't think they had HMD back in 1991
It’s really a non factor here, no weapons that can properly take advantage of it. Tho it is convenient for dogfighting
F16 vs J10C would be interesting
I would really like to see SU-27/30/33 vs Rafael! really interesting matchup IMO
brutal parce!!!!
great ' distractor ' tactitian today :)
45 years of F/A-18 in 2023
F8 crusader "the last gunfighter "
This game looks so good. How intensive is it for your system? and how do u control all the cockpit buttons
I knew Iraq had many MiG-21 Fishbeds and Mig-23 Floggers but 40 MiG-29s and 5 TU-22s is nothing to scoff at.
🔥🔥🔥
How about a video on that F16 that had to evade all those SAMs- I think his callsign was "Stroke 1"?
Stroke 3
I bet you could fly for a private military contractor
More Hornet content please
No fox3 or 9X for historic accuracy then the hmd is on 😜
I am Waiting for DCS LCA Tejas VS JF 17 both BVR and merging ..... even in Dubai air show .. it was talk of the town
Is there a way you can make the F15 carry meteors to somewhat imitate what it would be like if the F15 had longer range missles?
