He has an old video from about 4 years ago that goes in depth on the FA 18 Radar. Its a little dated, but its still the best one. It shows you how to save different settings for each weapon type. Theyve added a couple of features since then, but he gives you enough info to get you going

I’m guessing that the reason your last AMRAAM gave up was this: The Su-27 Flanker was throwing out chaff as he was in the notch after firing at you, as you can see (or hear) at [11:05]. So as soon as you fired your last AMRAAM, it lost lock on the Flanker due to the chaff and just quit on the job. So when you were like: “That AMRAAM better make me proud”, the AMRAAM was like: “F### this sh## I’m done …..”😂

Comedic editing with the "this amraam better make me proud" *cut to amraam nopeing out of the fight* well done!

AFTER 77 DAYS HE FINALLY CHOSE ME THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH GS!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling that was not the merge you wanted

GS: My amraam better make me proud The amraam : 🤪

I kind of miss the tactical view in the end. I'd like to see the Flanker's defending maneuvers. It felt as if the Flanker was constantly on the offensive.

😂❤ @11:50 to the end I love how honest this guy is. No need to allow your ego to play any part in a fair fight. THUMBS UP!

That was intense! The Flanker pilot did a wonderful job in lofting these improved R-77 missiles from higher altitude. Did not see that result coming. Rematch in the future?

Idea for a more playful video: Can you kill a bandit by tactically yeeting your drop tanks at them?

Always interesting to see the missile's perspective, those things are flying like a maniac. And they don't care they're out of fuel, they just chase their target, that's all they do. Kinda like the Terminator.

5:47 "It's good news and bad news, kids... Yes, your mamma was just clobbered by fuel tank, but on the other hand we've got a free 5 year supply of kerosene, and I'm gonna make two brand new canoes!"

Wow. Half an hour after the video was posted??!! The is the perfect opportunity to make a request: Hi GS! Can we please see you do some Mig-25 stuff? A Foxbat vs anything would be fun!!

It really is good to see FC3 aircraft going up against full fidelity modules and pushing them to the limit (or hitting them in a face with an R-77-1)!

GS: That AMRAAM better make me proud AMRAAM: Na bro not today

Thanks for making the videos your people ask for, always a pleasure to watch your vids mate

Still on day 80 of F35 Vs SU57 :(

More famous last words for your next Famous Last Words video... love this stuff! It builds greater appreciation for the pilots who've tested their sphincters for our freedom since the dawn of aerial warfare.

In DCS, I don't know how much of a difference there is between the Charlie Hornet and the Echo Hornet, but I'd like to see a Super Hornet vs. A Su-27.

Lol...the comedic timing on the performance of that AMRAAM was pure gold. 😂

The radar operations for a BVR fight I don't really know yet, but I find the analysis fascinating. I can't wait to get involved. This looks like SO much fun. Especially the guns only fights. I find those the most compelling, but all the "fights" or "missions" look really cool. Thanks so much for the content and especially the analysis. Explaining things for newbies. I imagine you get tired of repeating about the MAR, WEZ, elementary radar stuff, etc...but I really appreciate it. Great content. Keep it up. Your channel is most often the highlight of my day. Keeps me sane haha. Thanks...take care.

"That amraam better make me proud My amraam hits the ground..." Such a poetry

So... Setting the radar to sweep through 40 degrees, does that mean that cranking to the gimbal limit of the radar is going to be harder, because you only have that 40 degree window? Or does that only affect the detection of the bandit, while maintaining a lock on the bandit retains the whole 120 degree radar sweep?

I THINK that the gimbal follows the bandit automatically once locked. For altitude you need to manually push the auto button on the right of the mfd though.

@Lochaby

Right. The search is only 40° but once the contact is STT locked, GS can maneuver out to the full gimbal limit of 70° off nose.

Depends on which tracking mode you are using. If you're using TWS you have to change 'MAN' to 'AUTO' on the right (I think it's the middle button). If you're using RWS like he was using here, that 40-degree search is just for locating and locking. Once it has something locked it will follow that target to the edges of your gimble.

@fabianwho9797

Im no Expert, but to my knowlegdge you can move the scan area as well (either put tdc somewhere and press it or use a mode where it follows automatically), so it is possible to use the 40 degree scan but look at 30 to 70 degrees to your right. If you track a bandit, depending on the selected mode (manuel or auto) the radar will move the scan area with the target to keep lock. I cant tell how exactly (if at all) this differs between TWS and STT Lock right now, I would have to try it out again.

Always the jump scare at the end when that happens

'That AAMRAM better make my proud' The aamram- Holy crap is that a PENNY!?

"That AMRAAM better make me proud." AMRAAM: "Look daddy, I'm flying. Oohhh."

5:53 - I can imagine a guy coming home after a long day at work and sitting down for dinner with his family. Table set, food on the table, Wife and kids are seated. Holding hands and saying Grace before they eat and this fuel tank just crashes right in through the front window or roof of the house and crushes their dinner table. Looks like the Jones's are eating good tonight!

That aamram better make me proud...proceeds to hit the ground 200m later >.

That was an unexpected finale.

That was one expensive lawn dart.

Day80: F35 Vs SU57 BVR and Merge

Comedic timing is always on point

Kinda weird seeing GS lose. But he did say he was the underdog....

Your commentary as always adds so damn much to the video!

More WWII stuff and IL-2, please.

Looked like that R-77-1 nailed you while you were in it's notch. Major Bummer Dude : (.

I notice you use the F-18C a lot. I pretty recently fell in love with the Super Hornet (yes, before Top Gun) and would love to see its chops in more bvr stuff. Also, another great video. And rare GS loss!

Love the vids bro keep ‘em coming💥🖤

Loving the Intercept videos lately.

Day 90 of asking for F-35 vs Su-57 please gs I’m dying for this

Great video. Would you be interested in doing this same scenario/video with the more modern Super Hornet to see how it stacks up? I know quite a few NATO and American allies still fly the legacy hornets, but, considering the USA has pretty much done away with using them and are primarily using the modern Super Hornet as far as the US Navy is concerned, it seems far more likely that a Super Hornet would be what goes against a Flanker if the USA ever gets into a hot war with the Russians that the US Navy is engaged in. Anyway, like I said, great video.

"This is not Behind Enemy Lines so the missile does not have infinite fuel". Love that reference.

Pure adrenaline. Thank you for the video!!!

GS just casually demonstrating why flying in clouds is challenging.

Although a recreation of the final countdown with F14Bs vs Japanese Zeros gun only fight would be awesome too

I figure this would be an interesting video idea: how about a 3-way dogfight

I think someone on the moon is actually going to be the proud new owner of a fuel tank😂

Epic battle hell yeah

Both of these are my favourite!

Well I wasn't expecting that ending. That hit like a Pheonix missile. All that was left was a corner panel flying off into the sunset. lol Can't win em all. Great vid bud.

This video tells me more about the missiles than the planes. The fact that Su-27 was already high and recommited by the time you defeated the missile tells me he defeated the AMRAAMs with ease way sooner which allowed him all that time to get high and comfortable to fire higher probability of kill shots at Hornet.

@GrowlingSidewinder

Жыл бұрын

correct but the reason he was able to do that was because the hornet is slow (relative) and therefore amramms that come off the hornet are easier to defeat. I would bet most of those missiles might have hit him if I was in the F-16.

Well explained information about how the BVR missiles work. So I thought about you creating a BVR/Dogfight scenario between the MiG-29 and the Felon, GS. I need you to do this gameplay to compare the technological capabilities of these two planes. Anyways, great content again and keep low as always against BVR missiles in the next few videos!

That was awesome. Can't wait to get into dcs with an f18 at some point man this looks intense

My man didnt feel a thing. 😢 Thank god the Episodic Content Gods will revive this man and let him get another shot at hopefully several bandits.

I love the moment when you said: we can get into merge if we…dead 😂

Not to make GS anymore legendary but I wonder if GS is involved in the development of of pilotless planes- able to easily surpassed the limits of man. You know they already have mind blowing stuff that we can only guess about. And the humans who pilot them will be different from traditional pilots in both physical and mental features.

Slow plane got you killed.. good fight, you called it at the beginning.

Please keep using that camo on the Flanker it looks awesome

11:29 From 1-10, how proud of you for that AAMRAM?

*God i love free Entertainment*

I’m a simple man, I see growling sidewinder flying an F/A-18C, I click.

Your famous last words are getting better and better 😂

LOVE TO SEE F35 - F22 strike package against J20 and J11 🇨🇳🇺🇸

Oof, he smoked you hard on that last missile.

That ending was how most of my favorite characters die! 😭 🤣

I didn't see that missile coming!

damn. Recommitted slightly sooner. I love the fights over the sea.

Loved the Behind Enemy Lines reference lol

You were brave for even attempting that match up. The Hornets are good at many things, this isn’t one of them.

Please do more historical dogfights, i really enjoy those!

Sorry, you seem to have been cut off there at the end. Could you repeat last? Great vid though. Always informative and entertaining.

That was a good fight

Would be cool to see an EA-18G put to use

Would love to see one more rematch again.....

Didn't expect that 😂

The last AMMRAM: Fuck this shit I'm out.

And STT is a stronger lock than TWS, because the radar is only focused on one target, while TWS focuses on multiple.

I'm broken.. every time you say AMRAAM 120D a little guy in my head says "Deez Nuts!"

I was soooo looking to this merge

I miss Jester.

please try to drop the tank onto a plane during the merge or an overshoot. it is a very low tech missile. i believe in you

When that Battlefield Theme kicks in!

Cool way to dump fuel tank, inverted. 😅

Your amraam really made you proud 😂 🎉

Nice!

That was a brutal end..LOL

I have a video idea for you. Why don't you try jettisoning the tanks as a weapon while being close to another jet.

Rafal vs su27 lol Great video btw

That was a nasty kill tho

That was great

Whoops! Classic ending!

If that drop tank hits somebody's home or head, he will be proud owner of it but in heaven 😅

[ 11:57 ] GS: “Let’s see if we can get him on radar and commit to the merge if we -“ *(KIA)* Me: “- survive….”

Hey GS I think the F-5 vs the SU57 would be nice, if they even have the F-5 in DCS.

Mission briefing: Why are you dead?

Imagine how many pilots had their lives erased like this

Looks like missiles hits the GS with additional rage! It seems that missiles hate GS)))

Here's the problem with modern air to air combat , you have no idea when your gonna die, you die instantly, even your ghost get startled 💀

Now try a Super Hornet

Not the "flaring to the merge" that GS expected to do.
