@@mr.mastermind4840 it was still a straight shot. it was going to hit, it already had a track before the archer exploded, and if the archer came off the wing it would have had to loop around to kill the Raptor, which is possible but unlikely with the stealth, a loop around shot is already rare as it is, lets just call a spade a spade
Felt like the F22 was close and jamming that wez enough that the Archer had no way of tracking it anyway even if it would have come off the rails properly.
Please do more bandit unknown series , they are perfect , as for dogfights it’s also interesting , but it’s even more interesting when there is multiple rounds and a dogfight start with merge , so there are guns used , but still , all of the videos are perfect , keep it up!
That last AMRAAM, oh man. I was like “Are you s******* me??” Last time I saw something like that was in your F-14 vs F-15 BVR fight from several years ago, when one of your Phoenixes came within FEET of the F-15’s tail before it finally ran out of energy and the F-15 pulled away from it.
I love the BVR fights that end up going to the merge. To me, there’s a sense of 🫡 when both pilots are skilled enough to make it there which makes the dogfight weigh more no matter who wins. That being said I could’ve swore I saw ‘Harbor freight’ on the side of that fox 2
Props to ANVIL - he flew really well. He pulled a GS on GS. We need a re-match of this from the merge and see how it would have ended. Definite let down at the end.
@@Kiwi_FIFOin this case I highly doubt the missile would have missed. You can see that too by the almost immediate hit from the 9x. In that time the plane wouldn’t really have slowed down yet and not been segnificantly more easy to hit. It might be easier to see for the seeker but the 9x wouldn’t have trouble in this aspect anyway. Basically I’m 99% sure that missile would have hit no matter what.
@@bojack9737 aim9x can pull a lot and also wouldn’t need to hit directly to take it down. It’s not really possible to know what it would have done here. It’s fine if you think so but I think it would have still hit.

I'd like to see you fly the f-35 more. No one can doubt the Raptor's capabilities, but if the 35 is also 5th gen, how does it compare in a flight on dcs. Does it defend better or worse? It's supposed to be a multirole, does it work well at that job? I they'd be fun to watch
@@MarginalSC If the F-35 were accurately represented it would have nearly the same stealth as the Raptor, but with better radar and IRST. I've also heard that it's way more maneuverable than people think.
@@drksideofthewal The Raptor pilots are pretty contemptuous of the 35. I know they're a problem if properly fed information but if they're by themselves or knocked out of the data link they are supposedly about as challenging as a mid-70s Datsun pickup.
That was well fought on the part of both pilots -- kudos to Anvil -- another great video! It looked to me like the Flanker was going to eat that 9X either way, but it would have been interesting to see what his Archer would have done if it had cleared the rail. It would have had to see the Raptor, sporting its Ray Ban coating, and make a heck of a high G turn. Maybe a rematch sometime?
You really lnow how to fly and use the F22, and understand it's strengths. You stayed calm, let them deplete their missiles, then engaged them on your terms; it was great to watch 🤙
I feel like there is an experiment on if you should notch with stealth. Is doubling or tripling your radar signature by turning side on worth it vs just turning radar off
I just saw an F-22 today at the Thunder over Michigan airshow, and it's incredible seeing it maneuver unlike any other aircraft. It's cool you uploaded a F-22 video the same day! Great video, keep up the good work!
I recently bought a 1060 and have been blissful in dcs world on a TF 51D from Tbilisi to Kutaisi on a minimal graph. I was happy. Not rising above 150 m 35 minutes. I can not imagine what to fly on your hardware. For a complete catharsis, I turned on Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019. I did not fly to Kutaisi - the engine stalled, but I successfully paired. My first day. Peace to all! I hope you will believe me that almost all of my compatriots want this most of all.
have you had any videos where this is flipped around (other than the viral one with the f22 in your mirrors)? id like to see how you'd tackle being outmatched and what you might try to do in this situation.
That was some good buildup, an intense few seconds when the merge happened...and then that ending lol Why would that happen though? You said you've seen it with Flankers but didn't explain why it would be a common problem. Also, that final AMRAAM was nuts. Looked like it was barely moving but still keeping up with the Flanker.
coding. the Ru missiles are coded as retarded missiles, seekers barely work and they are as agile as a newborn elephant. also they are coded with a lot of bugs.
@@jamesgreenwood6959It is when they have all the quality parts they need. If not they have to settle for less than optimal but do everything they can to keep quality up. I wouldn't scoff.
I demand a rematch, that merge was one of the most intense I’ve ever seen. To be fair, you were nose on while he was taking a high aspect shot, I’m more shocked that the 9x tracked that close, he was jamming that WEZ all kinds.
Honestly...i love these fight..I can't get enough. And I should have worn my White Pants.... Sure is amazing watching Two going head to head..even if it is a Sim,and not 100% accurate...but neither USA, or Russia will ever say all of their tech with these Jets, So we can only guess so far... but regardless...I do love watching GS Get down in the F-22...Such a Dream to watch him Fly and Fight how he does..and everyone else who fights with him is also Grade Ace pilots all the way through! Much love GS for all your continued hard-work on everything you do ! ! !
I can not fathom the amount of international outrage that would occur if an air battle like this took place over a city of 3.5 million people. 🤯 But, GREAT video as always!!!
The reason it detonated was because it was gong for a off bore shot and before it fully launched it turned into itself and it ignited because of impact on the lower end of the wing
To avoid this missiles have checks and balances, one of the most common ones is that a missile will fly straight off the rail and THEN turn; For this exact reason. Missiles don’t just turn off the rail, many many aircraft would be destroying themselves if this was the case. the archer missile has demonstrated this in many videos so I find it hard to believe that this is what happened here.
I'm actually curious if that archer would have tracked if it didn't explode on his wing, but then again it didn't look like the flanker had the angle on you, especially since you were head on.
WW1/WW2 dogfight is like a medieval knights sword fight, whereas modern day dogfight is like modern infantry firefight or artillery duel... If stealth dogfight ever becomes a thing, I think we will go back to the old dogfight/sword fighting... visual range, man to man.

Not TOO hard to make a missile lose track at long distance with changes in your altitude, speed, you can also notch it, turn on jammer, turn OFF your own radar system or terrain mask. MANY ways to defeat even the most advanced A-A weapons.
A battle which might be interesting is a f-22 vs. a f-86. I say this as the f-22 relies on stealth to hide from it's enemies but the f-86 doesn't have a search radar so it relies on the pilots vision to locate an enemy. I do believe that in terms of raw power the f-86 would be greatly outclassed but the f-86 is designed for subsonic maneuvering and visual target identification and gun kills.

Day 7 F14 vs any plane f14 with retracted wings
You should dogfight @max afterburner. He’s a former thunderbird snd F15E pilot with a smallish channel, and just getting into DCS
Bandit unknown BVR fight, it would be challenging, and it would be very interesting
@@bt1080that'd be pretty freaking sick actually
the ultimate strat. Fox-2 yourself when merged with a Raptor.
It's a special A-A kill denial operation
@@johnnyl.4468F-22 just wants to eat!
It's impossible to kill your opponent when he kills himself. The ultimate strategy!
… remain a master strategist
Spoilers
I’d be so pissed if my missile blew up on my wing after fighting an F-22 for almost 15min
It's like scoring the winning shot for the other team.
To be fair, he was dead anyways. That 9x had him dead to rights. The only question is if he'd have gotten a mutual kill or not.
@@Regolith86But the explosion gave the 9x a bigger target to track
@@mr.mastermind4840 it was still a straight shot. it was going to hit, it already had a track before the archer exploded, and if the archer came off the wing it would have had to loop around to kill the Raptor, which is possible but unlikely with the stealth, a loop around shot is already rare as it is, lets just call a spade a spade

10:07 The last AAMRAM was so close...
That flanker is lucky.
Unfortunately he seems to have exhausted his luck in that roll
Got very unlucky later on lol
Exactly this, he cashed in all his luck to defeat that amraam, and didn’t have any left for the dogfight.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Maybe the ghost of that AAMRAM possesed the Archer in spite lmfao
Looked like the AMRAAM was like "i dont get paid enough for this. Good luck in the merge bro, im out"
@@SirCabooseCCCP
I'm your wingman in this assertion
The luckiest and unluckiest bandit ever in terms of missiles
It's like when the referee misses a penalty and then calls a weak penalty to make up for it...
Well, its a DCS problem, dunno why they havent fixed it yet.
That silver F-22 looks sooo good.
I think it would be cool too see two F-22s in a BVR fight, see if stealth allows them to get to the merge.
That would almost certainly happen if both pilots were competent. However, things happen.
That would be interesting to see if both sides fielded equal stealth fighters would it always end up in a dog fight
Please do more bandit unknown series , they are perfect , as for dogfights it’s also interesting , but it’s even more interesting when there is multiple rounds and a dogfight start with merge , so there are guns used , but still , all of the videos are perfect , keep it up!
How that proximity fuse on the AMRAAM didn't go off has me baffled
@@logicplagueLMAO
4:48 Imagine just being in a sailboat, minding your own business, and suddenly an F-22 comes out of nowhere and "buzzes the tower"
Dude that burner cooked the nose of that final AMRAAM. Thats the only reason I can think of for it not proxying on him haha
10:09 imagine the panick in your eyes when u see an amraam just chasing u 🤣
Just saw that part, I would be terrified!!
It honestly should have detonated if it got that close.
Any missle chasing you will make you sweat

It’s funny to imagine both jets just firing missiles at each other over the city.
Props to ANVIL - he flew really well. He pulled a GS on GS. We need a re-match of this from the merge and see how it would have ended. Definite let down at the end.
Bro it just shows how REAL life can go. Equipment does not always function properly and things like this happen.
Had his missile not detonated he was dead to the 9x anyway. So fight was over either way.
@@f3nixfire Maybe, but we've all seen very close calls with missiles passing within feet of GS and not doing anything, so who knows.

10:09 God the missile got so close the nose practically got melted by the afterburner 😂
The engine sounds are a thing to behold. It must be a truly glorious thing to be a pilot of such aircraft.
Your growing so fast, everytime i see a new video you’ve gotten atleast 1k more

The exploding missile, is that a real-world problem or a simulation problem.
It took a surprisingly long time to hit the ground without any wings. 😄
Based on that angle of the Flanker his missile would have missed you anyways.
That was a cool engagement with an interesting ending. Thanks for putting this together.
Your dogfighting skills are stunning, enigmatic and functional. You let him swing at air until he depleted himself and swept in and sniped him.
10:23 they gonna need a crowbar to remove the pilot from the seat cause he had to be CLENCHING

Damn, GS. Great fight, as usual.
Poor Rooskies...sometimes also fighting against their own equipment.

Yeah a couple years ago I seen it at thunder over Michigan, and it’s almost alien to the older generation fighters. It’s pretty badass.
Love the cinematic! Great to see the sun hit the raptor like that!
Alright! Hold my beer for me while I go get some popcorn.
that flanker said 'nobody makes me bleed my own blood - first'
now do some cool f4/f111 shit. and the a6/a7, and the vigilante since i am going there. thanks
