Well, the wing flex was modeled in the Viper since the release IIRC

I've also found MiG-21s to be surprisingly resilient when going for gun kills. Not sure how accurate it is, but usually they take fairly sustained hits of 20mm before they go down.

Love the "X vs. Y Dogfight" videos, but would definitely enjoy more "mission based" content like this in the future!

Absolutely love this. Sead is just great, feels like puzzle chess trying to crack enemy air defenses. Please moar!

I absolutely adore SEAD. Really puts a more practice-oriented lens on the content than the usual duel vids. Fighting in a vacuum is nice and all, but it's nice seeing something a bit more involved.

I ALWAYS enjoy the missions; and you do a good job of definitely making them challenging for you, entertaining for us.

Great vid as always! My home country (Slovakia) is replacing our old MiG-29s with 14 F-16 Vipers, first ones should arrive in 2024, can't wait to see them. Our pilots are already training with the 162nd wing in Tucson, AZ!

Despite how much I love the Hornet and the Eagle, your videos have done so much justice for the Viper. To the point where I now have a well-established respect for that aircraft. Decades of service, and a proven combat-effective platform. Thank you

Incredible flying while giving tutorials on weapons use. You are the man. Keep it up, these are great.

Aye growling! Can you do a dogfight between the F-15 and F-18? I feel like I’ve never seen one at all. It would be interesting because of the 2 circle and 1 circle tactics. The F-15 is good at both, 85% of the time. F-18 is really good at the 1 circle, but against the F-15 in a 2 circle it will be really challenging.

Awesome. Even Doug Masters would have been proud of that mission although he probably would have gunned the enemy tower while rocking out just to teach them a lesson.

For those who do not know. Magnum is brevity code for anti-radiation like the AGM-45 Shrike, Rifle is the code for electronic guidance like the AGM-65 Maverick.

I really like SEAD missions. I would definitely love to see more

Mix of both The F-16 is a monster and GS is a great pilot.

That merge clip was so sick. When he started dumping flares he knew it was on!

Really loving the mixed air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Showcases the abilities of multi role aircraft (and pilots) so well!

Love these mission scenarios! Either solo or even better with a wingman is good. Thank you!

This is the kinda stuff I like. I got into DCS after reading Viper Pilot by a F16 pilot who did SEAD operations, so this is right up that alley. I'm learning the basics of DCS on the F16C and hope to get to this level of flying.

That was a very clean solo engagement! Great job man!

That was a great mission.. I would love to see more of those. It shows the versatility of the Viper...

F-16 is such a beast! ever since I was a young lad, I always have considered the F-16 as the first thing that comes to mind when someone says "fighter Jet". It's just such an amazing Aircraft and the HUD in Visor is just one other thing that makes this Jet a true masterpiece in my opinion. I mean, the fact he took all those Vehicles out, and the four Migs? Absolute carnage of a beast! Tie all that into its massive Thrust to weight ratio and its just one of the best fighters by far! Great Flying and defending as always GS! I love the updates as of recent, keep up the amazing work as always brother

You flying F16s makes me think of the Iron Eagle movies..

I've watched a lot of your videos never commented before but I really enjoyed this one for sure great job thx

Worked on HARM missile program for 10 years when it was still being produced by Texas Instruments. Very good weapon.

Love the variety of mission types. Keep up the great work!

Love the new angle on the mission type! Would love to see more. And also would love to see you do some of the standard missions available with each module.

Watching that missile track at 9:46 was awesome! I I love watching the missile compensate and realign. 👏🏼💯

I absolutely love these SEAD missions. I like them a lot more than 1v1 dogfights (which are still fun). Keep up the excellent work!

It would be interesting to see an Apache take on a mission similar to this and see if it can defend itself against fighters while completing it's mission against some ground targets + AA.

Love the variety of enemies and the new mission type in this one. Keep it going, super interesting!

I would definitely like to see more multirole operations like this. Always good to see more variety

You make this look so easy. Yes would like to see more of this type of stuff.

some tips for HARM usage: - The circle shape in the HTS gives a very accurate representation of max launch range, the SA-5 was within launch range for a good portion before you fired - HARM can do very high off-angle shots, similar to Aim-9X, I would not worry about range or aircraft orientation as long as the HTS says its within range

Great video, would love to see more of that stuff! Also the tacview debrief!

That was really entertaining to watch you try to juggle the air to ground targets and air to air targets while also defending surface to air missiles and airborne targets jeez that was hard to just say let alone have the awareness to deal with all that simultaneously bravo bravo

More of these please! Thanks GS!

I LOVE THE WILD WEASLESS ! they are my fav squadron thank you i love you for making this video :D have a great day

I think SEAD missions are really interesting, and would love to see more of those with different aircraft from different countries and eras

I think SEAD missions are great. You get a little bit of everything. A2G, A2A, BVR and WVR, sometimes simultaneously.

love the multi-user (human control like you do w/ the Apache) multi-threat combos. Great mission setup.

Nice change of pace with this mission. Love it.

Growling Sidewinder, another excellent video!. Love the way that Fox-3 just tracks the Mig-29. So cool. Love the tank Jettison. Love those HARM decent shots. Keep doing these videos. Still want to see more MIG-31 videos too.

Not sure if you listen to the Fighter Pilot Podcast, but they have an episode dedicated to talking about the Wild Weasels. It's easily one of my favorite episodes, and the Weasels are absolute badasses lol. More SEAD missions would be awesome to see!

Love the SEAD mission. Nice change from the guns only dogfights.

I'd love to see more missions plz, super entertaining!

I'd love to see some Ace Combat style missions. I think you're one of the few DCS pilots that could survive a scenario like that in DCS. I tried an F-18 Campaign and realized that only a superhuman could survive legitimately.

I like the more complex missions for sure. I also like when you run out of issues and have to finish with guns. Makes it exciting.

Enjoying this channel a lot 👍

I really enjoy this air to ground missions, I feel like they are not explore enough in the chanel, I´ love to see air to ground using Su-25 or other plataforms. Love your content!

Great scenario and execution. I would've taken a partner with me on that mission back in my Falcon 4.0 days, but you showed how it's done solo!

I liked this mission! The combo of Sam’s and Aircraft is very entertaining.

This was a nice change of pace, especially considering how many threats you had to deal with at once.

Bought the F16 module yesterday, im hooked on it now

just how impressive is dcs? The realism they have brought to this. I imagine this could be an amazing tool for the cadets just begining the fighter pipeline. To learn theory and capabilities like this. I can't imagine their simulation program could surpass this by much.

Would love to see more actual missions / intecepts. Dogfights are fun, but it's nice to see the craft used in it's more common roles.

So first off, hi ! I was looking for an actual footage of the cyberwarfare system of the F-16 and found your video... Now switching to a totally different subject but wow, this simulator looks like it's the Combat version of MS Flight Sim. I need it. Thank you so much for the amazing video, I'm gonna play this sim as soon as I get my hands on a good HOTAS (or tbh, when I can afford one) :)

That is one hell of a show my friend

Hell yeah do some more of these types of vids!! Make it like a "Top Gun" type thing

I'd honestly like to see low level flying BVR with SAMs scattered haphazardly, preferably within canyons, hills. It's risky flying, let alone if it escalates into a merge. I'd also like to see more SEAD missions. How many can you take on with 1-2 4th gen aircrafts?

Definitely prefer these missions. Please do more of these.

your missile override keybind button is best to switch from any current mode to a/a in a pinch. usually it is bound on the throttle (boat switch aft for missile override mode, boat switch forward is for dogfight mode)

My SEAD target of choice is an SA-10 accompanied by an SA-19. Very tough nut to crack.

I love seeing all these non dogfight missions , keep branching out !

The HARM can actually target a SAM radar that’s not transmitting through its POS (position) setting which is determined via weapon steer points during the pre-brief phase; however, I’m not sure if this has been implemented in DCS yet as the datalink for the F-16 is still somewhat on the weak side in terms of realism.

Looking foward to some SEAD F-4s

I really enjoy the multi-role missions and would watch many more as I'm learning.

I really like the “mission “ type of videos as opposed to straight up dogfighting.

@GS magnificent video. A lot of everything. Just what the F16 was built for.
