Check out the Merch Store: teespring.com/stores/growling-sidewinder-store I had a little too much fun making this video lol, the F-22 is so awesome, the F-22 you see me using in this video is the one undergoing upgrades by Grinnelli as time goes on and it gets different features I will show case them on the channel, I don't want to give away toooo much but we're talking some clickable functionality in the cockpit new textures for the external model, some audio changes, increased realism of the engine behavior (possibly even the Thrust Vectoring) you guys already saw the automatic bay doors and the new flares the aircraft also has new stealth changes including radar and IR Signature. so very much still a work in progress but Grinnelli is doing some awesome work on this thing and when a download link is available I will deff let you guys know with a video. Thank you to shotgun for being target practice for the F-22 it can't be much fun to constantly get shot down by this thing lol and a very big thank you to Grinnelli for his work on the F-22 and his massive contribution to the community.

I had a suggestion for an encounter. As Russia is, from what I understand building 12 SU-57's from current orders against NATO forces they would likely be heavily outnumbered. Perhaps a 2 or 3 F-18 / -16 / -15 vs. 1 Felon or even at some point a 4 vs. 1 scenario where the 57 has to beat the odds. Maybe explore these limits for both aircraft. Just how many adversaries can they manage on their own and perhaps a 2 ship flight vs. a squadron one day.

The "panic flares" GS is laughing about in this one also were juicier in that incident, if you askme xD

Former Raptor pilot "Dozer" commented on a forum; On takeoff at full combat weight of 70,000 lbs, pulled pure vertical at 570 knots and at 30,000 ft, noticed slight buffeting. When he checked the airspeed he was at Mach 0.99. Would be good to see how well the Raptor zoom climbs above its next opponent. Now, does anyone still believe each engine produces only 35,000 lbs thrust? GS, seems you can score kills using only your pinky toe in the Raptor.

@marcoconti1197

3 жыл бұрын

Only 35,000lbs? Those engine are currently the most powerful on a fighter, also the F22's airframe is cosiderably lighter that it's predecessors.

@PyroBlonde7777

3 жыл бұрын

The Raptor has the thrust but due to the 2D thrust vectoring nozzles that thrust is diminished. The F15 with 23,000 Ibs of thrust is 375mph faster due to a lack of 2D thrust nozzles. I expect the Raptor to climb pretty violently due to its lightweight fuselage. Though it probably can't break the sound barrier going vertical like an F15 can.

God damn that thing is deadly. Combined with the invisible f-35's for BVR the enemy don't stand a chance.

3:57 - This is why - though it's very un-PC - stealth fighters vs non-stealth fighters is usually referred to as "clubbing baby seals."

I thought you were going to fight the F22 in the Su27 again. I asked, why would he do this to himself? But not the case. It's actually somewhat scary if this is realistic, the Su series of aircraft aren't exactly slouches.

Thank you for finally taking a turn to fly the more advanced aircraft

@@myusername3689 The F-22 has 12 control surfaces. The inherent design of the YF-23 meanwhile left it with just 6. Making it difficult to perform advanced dogfighting tactics and manuvers. Against an Su-57 in a merge? It would be at a *disgusting* disadvantage as Russian or many other pilots could easily exploit the limited control surfaces of a hypothetical F-23, look how it's distinctive tail combines both functions of Rudder and Elevator. Also I *highly* doubt the YF-23 had better Turn Rate... Sustained or instantanous. Almost *all* sources say otherwise that the Raptor was more agile. Even YF-23 pilots said the YF-22 had apparently just "slightly" better turn rate.

Is thrust vectoring pre-computed into the control laws (whether in game or real life?) or can the vectoring toggled on/off depending on limiting IAS? Seems like you just begin the first circle, yank the nose around with the vectoring and get an AIM-9X off.
