Hey GS, how about Rafale vs F-22, with you piloting the Rafale?

Please create a scenario where The F-15E and A-10C are working together while directly competing as they're often compared! Competing in the sense/role of not necessarily helping each other out, trying to get the most kills, and survival! VS Couple Mi-24's, few Iglas, Strela, Tunguska, SA-5, SA-11, and couple SU-25's! Plus provide ground support VS .50 Technical Trucks, BTR's, BMP's, T-72's, and couple T-90's!🙏👍

Yes, that's how the P-38 beat the much more agile A6M and Ki-43.

Love how the F14 shakes rattles and rolls when pushed in DCS!

Win or lose, I can watch the F14 every friggin day. What an aircraft. Great content, thanks man.

Love the way that f14 shakes when you start pullin extra gs

I did not think you were going to win that one. Well done.

@GALLUS_PRIME

2 ай бұрын

I was worried there too for the first half of Round 1. But once GS starting to put more focus towards managing closure, and the Rafale became more predictable with forcing the one circle. I was near certain that GS was gonna win.

The way the -14 tears around the circle and can get advantage over even later fighters is a testament to her designers. She really is one of the best gunfighters ever designed.

@nbn461

Ай бұрын

Gotta take into account the fact that DCS is not 100% accurate, and that it is only a sim and not real. The ingame flight characteristics of both aircraft might not represent real world characteristics.

@@nbn461 : True, but that works both ways. The F-14A in DCS is apparently much more prone to compressor stalls than the real F-14A, according to a former Tomcat pilot who commented on another video.

I thought this was going to be a mutual kill. He was saying, "you are coming with me" LOL. Great to see the Tomcat...period.

No matter if she wins or not. It’s always good to see the Tomcat fly!

If you fly the Rafael against the same pilot in the F14, you still win. This was the better pilot winning. No disrespect intended for the F14 pilot. Great video!

Rafael was slow

Dig that shake and rumble of the venerable F-14!

The wing missed by about a foot if you slow it down even more. That made me sweat .Tomcat's still got it!

This dogfight actually happened in 2002, when the rafales had just become operational at flotille 12F. They had trained against F14s and F18s from the USS Stennis and Roosevelt.

It's amazing how much capability the Tomcat shows in the face of much more modern opponents. Good flying today!

The one advantage of not having a restrictive flight computer, you have full control (until you lose control). As GS has said many times, the Tomcat will give you everything she’s got, even if it rips her wings off in the process.

Glad to see you in the Tomcat again, even if you’re using mostly two circle. Would love to see you take on the Flanker or something similar again with HOBS fox-2s. That was so entertaining when you did that last

I’ve been meaning to dust off my HOTAS… after seeing GS’s “rusty” flying, I’m not sure I’m gonna bother 😂

Imagine you manage to dodge two Meteors in a Tomcat and come to the merge with a 4.5 gen Rafale F4... Very entertaining scenario, loved seeing my first favorite aircraft fighting the Rafale. Would really love a BVR fight between those two birds though... I mean what's the range of a Phoenix compared with a Meteor? I've been waiting for the day when you fly the Rafale. Should be quite a sight to behold seeing how well you fared in a Mirage 2000...

Fear the bones, Rafale !

That round 2 near-miss, that was inches! I love how althought the Rafale ultimately lost, it made Growly and the F-14B really work hard for the kill.. those kinds of air-to-air, especially in dogfighting, man what a sight! 🔥

So when's the next "Two Morons" episode with a Tomcat?

Man. Missed by inches at the end and he still almost killed you. Great pilot

Really appreciating the longer videos 💪🏼🙏🏼

I will admit. Seeing this video pop up was like an early Xmas gift. I love the F14 and this one didn’t disappoint. Love the vids bro.

GS: "Alright, let's finish him off here" Misses every shot. GS: "I apologize for my outburst."

Man GS this fight was one of your best one I mean all this up and down was amazing. Love you work ❤❤❤❤

That Tomcat skin is just perfect. Love it.

Love the video! Always a pleasure seeing tomcat in action. I would really love to see a dogfight where terrain is impacting the outcome of a fight, mountains, valleys, hiding behind them etc

The dogfight I'd like to see is the F-14 vs. The Tornado ADV.

Damn that was close, your left wing was inches away.

That was beautiful stiff-arming in the first fight. Looked effortless.

Dam ! Love this channel! You are one hell of a pilot!

It's great that you explain the tactics and maneuvers as you're dogfighting. You should do a series of video lessons.

Reminds me of an old school "boom and zoom" wildcat school of thought against a Zero. Awesome stuff.

I love the paint scheme on the Rafale

Respeck to the Rafale pilot, his plane on fire and headed to earth but he’s like “I’m still in this fight!!! Brrrr!!!”

At the the end there, I thought the f14 was about to cosplay a Pidgeot and use wing attack

The F-14 is my favorite fighter jet because of all the tricks up its sleeve, which include: 1) Manual wing sweep 2) Putting the flaps down 3) Use of differential thrust 4) Transferring auxiliary power from the plasma coil to the warp engines

Kinda surprised Jester didn't bail from that near collision.

Holy crap that was close there at the end... Wow...

My brother ! Another solid video 💪

This gave some serious close up pictures 😎

christ, that may as well have been a melee kill at the end

Any Tomcat video is a good video...♠️

The rafale plot was one scrappy dude. He never once gave up!

10:25 "Its not always about the aircraft, is pilot ability too, unless youre against a raptor, if youre againts a raptor youre fucked" xD

Almost got dusted at the end there. 😅

12:10 That is what I notice happens a lot of times in fights against 5th-gen fighters. They keep forcing high Gs maneuvers getting super slow and almost falling out of the skies. BTW what is that thing under the F-14 nose? Looks like a pod, near that black-painted part, but I cannot see well.

You tapped his heiney on the way down!

Interesting timing... just 2 hours ago thought "which module should I trial next.. f14 or m2k"

Might need a touch-up on the haze gray after that near miss. XD

Hard fought victory? Nah bro took way too many free trips through your HUD lol

That ending was almost a dose of surprise butt stuff...

Would love to see you try out the rafale and see what you could make of it

Extra thrust and lack of conpressor stalls on the B really paid dividends here.

You should have used split throttle

I remember as a kid when Top Gun came out and I thought the F-14 was the absolute ducks nuts

The Tomcat's wing clearly slices through the Rafale's at 11:53... That was 100% a mid-air collision.

Round 1 reminds me of a tomcat playing with its food before it kills it. 😂

The Rafale looks like a mini Concorde

Time to "Split" the throttles and get freaky with the Frenchie Mav. 0~o

Nice video man!👏👏

Today I explained to a little kid at the playground that they weren't catching their bigger friends because they were "chasing behind" their target. Instead they should chase a point in front of them so they could cut inside their turn circle to catch up and get a good solid tag on their target. Feet can achieve crazy AoA.

Patiently waiting for GS to drop the BF3 F-18 mission “Going Hunting”

Another amazing vid by G.S!!!!! He's still got it flying the legendary F-14B no less. Though you should let us know which variant of the Rafale you're fighting against

I guess the F-14 is more badass than I gave it credit for. 😳

I was at first sure, that the smaller, single engine Rafale, would dominate at low altitudes, with the big twin engine Tomcat. But that was amazingly not the case! Good work !
