Us: How do you know if you've pulled too many Gs? GSW: There will be signs (eyeballs pop out of head)...

@roijoi6963

3 ай бұрын

It HURTS!!! Pulling sustained Gs is the most fatiguing thing you will ever do. The only thing I can think of that's ever come close is pushing a car up a road with a shallow incline. It's more fatiguing than doing a double heavy leg workout. I've done squats until I had to crawl up the stairs to get out to the gym, and even that's not as tiring. Viper pilots are gym rats to a man!

MVP of this mission is the Russian AWACS pilot!

I've always heard that the greatest asset on a battlefield is the good ol' Mk 1 eyeball. It's good to see that finally being incorporated into DCS.

Haven't finished watching yet, but those disembodied eyeballs in the rearview mirror at 5:55 got me, man... GS really keepin' an eye out for those Ruskies!

There is a reason x29 and su47 didn't go anywhere. The wingtips had a tendency to flex up if the aircraft got to fast. Also try to Imagine the forces that would put on the wings.

Yeah, life span of those wing types could be very limited with the twisting forces put on them, especially at high speeds and high g turns.

Yup, it looked pretty similar. Interestingly, there were two proposals from which plane to base the X-29 on. One was the F-5 and the other was the F-16. They chose the F-5, but it would've been cool to see what a forward-swept F-16 would've looked like. Still hate that they never developed the delta wing F-16XL.

This is literally the first Berkut video I’ve ever seen from DCS

Dude GS with his F18 ate those SU-47's up. But the Russian AWACS getting back home was not something expected after all.

Holy hell.. I’m so happy to see the 47 in dcs, literally my childhood aircraft

0:51 "It's those damn bats!" Sorry, I couldn't help it😂😂

If you're like me you just hit the thumbs up before you start GS videos because you KNOW you're gonna do it every time anyway! In fact, I think I'll go back to his first ones and start all over again.

SU-47 is cool indeed

Glad the Su-47 is getting some love on the channel.

Surprised the Waypoint 1 antenna didn't fall but it has a giant kink in it. That AWACS needs to be renamed Timex as it took a beating and still had it home on one engine. 😆 You made the Super Hornet look good again.

Whoa didn’t expect to see this notification flash across my screen. Holy shit.

used to have a die cast toy su-47 as a kid ! man you unlocked a memory i forgot i had !!!

I think your oxygen generator was letting other gases by 😂😂😂floating eyeballs 😂

I believe those are the mark 1 eyeballs for the brain mounted sight.

I know I love the legacy hornet more, but I can't get over how imposing the silhouette on the Rhino is!

Man I didn't even notice the eyes until you pointed it out and then I saw it every time it was visible lol

Always thought the forward-swept-wing aircraft were beautiful. I would really have liked to see someone actually put one into production.

That Russian AWACS managed to make it home after being slapped by an AMRAAM? Good flying by that pilot

5:54 spooky rear view mirror 😣 edit: lmao you addressed it moments later oops

5:58 the eyeballs in the mirror 😂😂😂

I really want to see more AIM-260s in action.

It's really cool to see the F/A 18, I would also like to see it more often A/G like the A10

FINALLY! I've been waiting to see the SU-47!

Great to see the Golden Eagle, such an awesome looking jet. G/S's eyes - always feared he was really advanced A I - no body, just robotic optics. Thats why he kills so many opponents ! 🤣👁👁🤣

"This time on GS we have a virtual guest pilot, Disembodied Eyeballs!" Made me think of Andross from StarFox lol.

Woah Nice To see the su47. Kind of bummer it didn’t get full in service production, the design is so mad. 🔥🔥

Looks like a rather breezy-Swiss-cheesy flight home for the AWACS crew!

The Delta is a beast. Forty-one miles at 300-some-odd knots and still smoked em. Having an outstanding missile is even more important on an aircraft like the Hornet, which is not necessarily going to be able to get the speed to give the missile the greatest launch parameters. Below half Mach and still went over forty miles with intent. Thanks 120-Delta!

SU47 is a truly gorgeous aircraft. Do a vid where you fly this beast. It would be very interesting.

PLEASE START GIVING YOUR MULTIROLE MISSIONS OUT TO US

I enjoy the Eyeballs 👀, more accurate to how you feel when you’re constantly looking everywhere and watching for your own, or your enemies, mistakes.

GS uses all the produced prototypes of the Berkut in this video, although only one of them was made to fly

I find the Awac making it home is wholesome idk why. Bro made it.

FINALLY !! I was waiting for the su 47 a long time

It's my birthday so thanks for dropping a vid GS. You rock!! ❤❤🔥🔥

it's cool to see the paint scheme from VAQ-142 i remember those guys from when i was stationed at FRC northwest, my head will probably explode if you end up with the paint scheme from VAQ-141 since that was the command i went after FRC

Really nice to see a video where you just absolutely smoke the competition after some hard-fought wins and losses. You've still got it :)

Another great video 😮 Cool to see those Su 47 out & about!

The Super Hornet is so versatile and capable that it can even turn the pilot invisible! Except the eyeballs.

Awesome video! I would love to see you take off/land for these videos! It would be awesome to see you land on the carrier after doing a combat missions like this!

11:35 "OK, beauty." - this brought back memories of the movie Strange Brew.

A Hornet video deserves two comments from each person. That is all.

Another great video GS!

Would have defiintely been worth it to send 2-3 AMRAAMs at that AWACS at the end to guarantee the kill, 1 only has a pretty high chance not to down it

Man, loven these F/A-18 Super Hornet vids man. I have been waiting so long for you to do multiple videos on them. Those SU-47's look pretty cool man, but when you shoot one down, they hit the ground straight down like intercontinental ballistic missile 😅 awesome video man would still love to see more of the Super Hornet.

Really enjoying these Attack and Fight missions.

Woooo Finally!! I was wondering why the 47 was your symbol for tact-view review if you never used it. Consider yourself redeemed lol.

Excellent video!

Cant wait to see this.

"It's not the plane it's the pilot."

That warning tone when the missile goes pit bull makes me want to answer my old landline phone. Lol

Omg You finally did the suggestion!

With those eyeballs the way they were, when they straddled the bottom of the mirror, you should have been asking for a cookie at that point...LOL

1:11 what is the sound effect here? I’ve heard it in a lot of your videos and was just wondering what it was?

Super hornet is a great aircraft. Good range, pay load , capabilities, insand ASEA radar, ecm, aim 120d

Damn that weather looks absolutely beautiful

I spent 12 years in Army Aviation and heard the term when all else fails use your trusty MK 1 eyeballs all the time but this is taking it to a whole new level.........

The bf4 theme fits your videos perfectly 👌

Please more F-18 content! Beautifully executed

Love this channel

5:56 the pair of eyes in the mirror 😭😭😭😭

when doing these sorts of fights, you talk a lot about how the enemy aircraft is jamming. do you always try to jam when your fighting bvr, or only in some cases?

I love how there's no pilot in the cockpit it's just a pair of eyes😂

GS finally does a Ace Combat esque video! Nice❤

WHAT...the DUECE...was up with those floating eyeballs??? lol I was cracking up. Ok great vid. Can't believe that AWACS made it home. Bet that crew had some good stories to share at the pub for years to come.

Question: when you drag an enemy missile low, when it goes pitbull, why not go high and force it to climb up after you?

@jdbarnes5987

Most of the time you dont know exactly where the missile is, just a general direction of where it is being fired from. In addition, most modern missiles are dropping down on you from above. Going up would effectively shorten the distance it would have to travel to erase you.

@MeerkatADV

3 ай бұрын

As said, most modern missile have a top down attack profile vs attempting to direct lead.

Super Hornets are the only fighter jets I see regularly, so not having much else to compare them with, I can state that I hope there are no other fighters louder. Absolutely sky shredding sound.

That A-50 at the end fared better than the last Russian AWACS to meet an American missile.

This is literally the first time I have even seen this Jet! Wow what a weird looking thing!

6:18 someone flying next to you looks over to see into the cockpit and they just see a pair of eyeballs floating in the cockpit.

Love seeing the FA-18 doing work 🫡

MORE SUPERHORNET VIDSSS u making want a full fidelity Super Hornet in DCS

SH is the most underrated airplane ever

GS is a set of floating eyeballs confirmed!!!

In my perspective u r that type of person who can win any battle with any jet , as they said it's about pilot not about plane ❤❤❤❤ A highly trained and talented fighter is always better than less trained fighter with better equipment 😂😂😂😂

Beautiful Su-47, but also beautiful F/A-18F! thanks for modders!
