It had absolutely no track, no chance.. Aim-9x: and i took that personally 4:35

My friend and I got a good laugh out of that first kill where you just stopped the video on a ding and there's the 9X.

The wife isn't as big of a GS fan as me. She walks around the house saying "Altitude, Altitude" or "Pull up, Pull up." That's about all she knows about DCS.

As a kid, I always wondered if a missile would get "mad" if it missed on the first pass and come back around and give chase. Many years later, this video answers my question.

The merge is clearly the most important factor in how these fights go. Every time you didn't stick close and maneuver with your bandit as well as you could, it created too much separation. Every time you won, you read and reacted to his movement much better.

the wines of the f18 compressor is amazing

4:54 it’s been so long since you ejected yourself into the ground

The F-16 may be old, but the Hornet design goes back to the YF-17 that competed with it in the lightweight fighter program. Granted, the YF-17 seems to be the first production-intended fighter that optimized intentionally for instantaneous turn rate, but the F-18 was there at the beginning, even if it was retooled for naval squadrons and refined to introduce later.

It is neat to see that DCS models G-loc even after you are hit. Shows situations that a pilot might not eject not due to blackout and not instant death

Would love a series of advanced dogfighting tutorials/walkthroughs. I mean beyond explaining concepts of 1c and 2c, but like lift vector placement, how to advantageously manipulate an offset 2 circle, etc etc. Love the channel, each video is genuinely thrilling and very entertaining:)

"Too close for missiles, I'm switching to.......damn it"

LOL... I knew it was coming as soon as he said "there is a little too much seperation, I don't love it". 😅😅😅

A great video for GS to drop on my birthday, however the enemy Port-A-Potty factory remains in production, which is an existential threat to the free world!

Last kill was so quick, it was the whole highlight reel.

Well, that first one was over in a hurry... 😆 This scenario demonstrates the value of the AIM-9X. It is still a very useful part of an aircraft's overall weapons load, and can still deal death to any adversary that takes it for granted.

Thank you, that was entertaining. Illustrates just how unforgiving the modern dogfight is.

I saw this video drop, clicked "Like," and watched the first minute as GS introduced this scenario. Then I watched in horror as his life flashed before his eyes at 1:01. :face-blue-wide-eyes::face-turquoise-covering-eyes::face-blue-smiling: Well, brother, no one can say you don't get qualified pilots to fly OpFor in your videos! Thanks again for letting us fly duel with you on your digital adventures!! Edit: I watched that first fight again and had to come back to say that 9X was dirty man, looping around to hit you in the face like that!

The takeaway is that you don't want to get in a knife fight in a phone booth. Or a hobs missile fight.

The aim9 in the first shot was so close you could mistake it for a copilot😅
