Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Please keep in mind these are mods and the actual aircraft remain classified. These mods are simply based on publicly available information and this is the best simulation we can currently run. Also big thank you to Peregrine for helping with this video.

That first round with the aggressive F35 actually closely resembles what I have been suggesting about 5th gen fighters vs each other. With sufficient stealth under the right conditions two 5th gen fighters could end up in a dogfight because they aren’t able to shoot each other down at range. Dogfighting isn’t necessarily dead, but it may look very different.
Using publicly available data, F-35s and F-22s need to be about ten times closer for detection and locking compared to legacy jets. That puts their weapons grade locks on each other at 15-30km out. Plenty of time for AMRAAMs before it gets into a dogfight.
2 or more F-35s would present a bigger challenge than portrayed here. What DCS does not consider is the synergy between F-35s. If one has the F-22 locked, the other can use that information to guide his Fox 3 even if that F-35 is not able to get a lock. That info can also be passed on the Patriot site.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. He's not really fighting two F-35's as they don't even seem to be aware of each other, much less working as a team.
Yeah, I'd agree. One of the areas that is hard to simulate on a modern fighter is the avionics performance. Things like radar processing, tactical data link, and all the other electronics that are highly classified and a guess at best. On top of that, I wouldn't be surprised if the F-35 held some advantages in these areas as it is over a decade newer than the F-22. Like, the F-22 entered service 2 years before the first iPhone was released, and the F-35 was around the time of the iPhone 6/7. There had to be some jumps in military tech in that time.
It also doesn't take into account the ability for the f-35 to lock on to targets regardless of orientation to itself. It can lock on and fire at targets parallel or even behind it.
Adding stealth to BVR just makes it so much more interesting. Almost like back in the days of WWII when planes didn’t have radar tech. It was just skill and luck.
The F-35s not syncing their data was definitely a massive nerf on their part, a lone F-35 could be dangerous but a group would be almost impossible to take down solo.
Apart from the radar absorbant materials and coatings which are, of course, classified, there is a second layer of stealth on the 22 and the 35. They both use "planform alignment", which means all major structures on the airframe are at the same angles from centre line or the perpendicular station lines, rather than having lots of angles, one or more of which can reflect back to the detector. There is also a third layer of thermal cross section reduction, that buries the engines deep in the airframe. Just can't hide that burner plume!
Public estimates have the RCS of F-15s at 20 square metres or so. The F-35 is supposed to be less than 0.01 square metres. 80-90% lower does not a stealth jet make.
Updated with exact recipe plus guess for gray coating. Are you talking about the composites that are on F-35 over broad areas (you can see in pictures the blue-green stuff) and probably F-22 as well. Plus the basics if coatings is not secret, most public sources use a Ferrite, an Iron Oxide made into spheres mixed in with another material like an epoxy or gel. Well it isn't secret that the real Iron Ball is Iron Oxide/Titanium Dioxide and Garnet". I found that it is out in papers from...china. Interestingly enough certain content creators seem to think ceramic stealth coatings are something that we have to wait for. Actually the coating for the Nighthawk is basically itself a ceramic because certain steps are sintering and some of the new stuff that looks like graphine RGO and perhaps Titanium Dioxide minus the Iron, which is replaced instead with something like Strontium hexaferrite which I believe helps with IR if memory serves.- It will likely have steps involving the kilns too as other methods to produce similar materials are what adversaries are using .It's the exact recipe plus certain engineering steps we don't talk about , as far as I don't know what China has ( not doing something right) and Russia is still trying to have. There is a lot of talk about the Russian guy that figured out a way to figure the RCS of an aircraft being the father of stealth and the work the Germans did but again no product no cookie.
Remember, stealth is not always invisible on radar, it decrease the detection range of the aircraft, it will always gonna be detect mostly on the close range whether it is F22, F35, SU57 or even J20. It will always be detect on a close range by using strong radar/Low frequency radar aka L band radar which make it easier to detect the stealth plane, but mostly it will detect at the close range, While IRST shows the heat signature of the aircraft which will give slightly superior detect range compared to radar or maybe it's the same, which will detect at the medium to close range of the aircraft.
Speaking of F-35... i seriously belive everyone has underestimated that things Dogfighting capabilities, me included. I've seen airshows of that thing do flat-spins, loops so fast with such a small radius it barely looks real.
Same. The military is definitely downplaying its capabilities when discussing it publicly. Most people don't know the B variant can move like a helo... It's nuts. That's the one that doesn't have the gun btw GS, they had to make room for all the other awesome sauce.
The F-117 that was shot down was actually pretty unlucky. Those aircraft had been seen opening their bay doors at a specific point to test the hydraulics. Somebody screwed the pooch with ordering that test, when it was known that sleeper ground forces were known to be in the area.
My understanding was they (117s) flew the same strike route repeatedly so they were able to point the radar at like a narrow 1 km band and knew to expect it.
I've actually really grown to like the F-35. I see them flying quite often here at NAS Fallon. It is probably my favorite aircraft currently in service. Great video is always!
It comes down to DCS doesn't have much info on either jet (more info on the f22) because it's classified. They are modeling the sim from what they know from shows and info from pilots. As great as it is to see this sim from both fighters, it's not real world flying nor technology. A lot of tech has been developed for the f35 since the F22 and is highly classified. I respect both jets they are amazing machines. Great video as always really enjoy watching you fly!
I love the F-22 but Fat Amy is truly misunderstood and unfairly hated. Sadly we won't get to see how awesome she is until a big real life conflict breaks out.
Great videos! I know the US ultimately chose the YF-22 (now the F-22 Raptor) over the YF-23, but I often wonder what would an F-22 vs. YF-23 look like, and throw in the Felon in for good measure! I don't know enough about DCS to know if you can have the YF-23, but if you can, then... a video would be awesome! Thanks to you and your team for these great videos!
The ground angle shots add so much cinematic value to your recent videos. Its hard to imagine what these dogfights would look like to a neutral viewer from the ground and your recent videos capture that feeling really well!
7:45 that's a good point. Some people may think a stealth aircraft is inevidably invisible. But it still can be found with tech, it's just harder to keep a read on it, especially for m rams. (at least in this simulation)
Why does no one mention that the F117 was tracked because they flew the exact same route for over a week and also the bomb bay door jammed and compromised it's stealth capability. That allowed the SAM to maintain the lock after the ground system had lost track. In short the Same went pitbull and did the heavy lifting. It's all been declassified and is pretty much common knowledge. The USAF is about to shock the world with it's next air superiority fighter. It's actually a real thing unlike the Mig-41 and the Checkmate.
Hey GS, I would love to see a mission where the F-22 and F-35 work together to complete a mission (such as the 22 gaining air superiority and the 35 doing SEAD or something of the likes). Great content as always!
Hey Growling, did you know that NATO is trying to have the F35 equipped with Meteor missiles by 2027 and the F35I used by Israel has Pythons? Is that possible to do in DCS through mods?
It’s specifically the RAF which wants meteor integration. It would allow for unified missile stocks with Typhoons without having to resort to AMRAAMs (the meteor is better in most situations).
This video does a great job showing an argument I try to make as to why future aircraft still need to prepare for and train for close in fights. As more nations develop stealth, max engagement range will shrink to within 20 pretty often.
To me it would be more interesting to see GS in the underdog aircraft rather than proving something we already knew would happen. I liked the formula of swapping aircraft and repeating. Love the content. C
Man so many people talking out their butt here about F-35. Fact: In the most recent red flag exercise F-35 were placed on the enemy side. Fact: The most recent red flag so the F-22 suffer the most losses ever. Fact: F-35 shot down more F-22 than any other aircraft. In a follow up interview with the F-22 pilot said the experience was "humbling" and they a learning experience. All the "experts" crack me up thinking these mods in anyway reflect the actual things.
Honestly at this point all the opinions I have heard coming from people who have actually either flown or interacted with the F-35 have been overwhelmingly positive. Except for maybe those initial reports in the test phase where they didn't even have the proper software installed.
I just wanted to let you know your content is a gold mine. I was actually suggested your content upon rewatching some top gun maverick scenes. I appreciate the hard work. Very entertaining
Re: sometimes you can detect at 30+ mi and other times they're invisible into 12 mi? Shape-based Stealth is heavily dependent on what angle you are looking from. Thare are in fact some angles where F-22 and F-35 look like they're the size of a skyscraper on radar. Most of the time however they are more like the size of a golfball.
I didn't know I needed to learn more about tactics when flying with a wingman, but here I am with this recommendation. I mean we have watched many videos with GS flying with a wingman but it would be very interesting actually having explanation for the flight and engage tactics in these situations. Anyways thanks for another awesome video wish you the best!
I always prefer peace, cooperation, and voluntary trade with everybody. But... Get F-22's and F-35's together, as the tip of a strike force, coordinating cross-domain operations for a joint mission? Nothing even comes close to standing a chance. 4% of US GDP in action.
F35 is a legit fighter aircraft, it's certainly not just a strike aircraft that can defend itself. It's just that it's been designed with a focus on BVR rather than close in dogfights and to work as a system with their information synergy. For example the 2nd F35 could have used info from the first F35 to fire a fox 3 at you.
BVR fighters tend to require big fuckoff engines for high TWR... Though the combat ranges for stealth aircraft are significantly reduced, lower time to target equals higher chance to kill... And I'm pretty sure that F-22s could also guide in each other's missiles, thats like... 1980s tech at least
Comparing a Strike Fighter (F-35) vs an Air Superiority Fighter (F-22) is like comparing oranges and lemons. The aircraft are optimized for different missions.
What’s the point of having a gun on a f-35 though? If it ever merged with basically any plane , it’s instant death for the f-35. No gun on the planet can save it
That's what i think, if every aircraft has stealth. Dogfight hapenned more often than bvr. Because is so hard to get lock using fox 3. If we got so me lock, the enemy just around 7 miles away
I think both airframes can be praised for great maneuverability but I must admit that I think the SU-57 is monster competition for the F-22 Raptor maybe even for the Super Raptor. Seeing how close those missles came in your latest video with the SU-57 Felon seems daunting to say the least.

Two F-35s buzzing my house today, they are noticeably louder than F-16s.

What about the thermal search eye on the f35? Wouldn't that give it an edge? It seems like both times they spotted you first.

Is there a YF 23 for DCS? That would be so sick to see how it would do against the F 22 in a dogfight scenario.
is this F35 the updated version that can flat spin like an F22, and do cobra with full external loadout?
could you possibly do a video on rudder use, when to use them and why. when i fly i tend to only use the stick
More you vs professional military pilot again. Learned a lot from that video
its could be the F-35 turning with the belly facing you at 30 miles which might give you a better CSA for that period
Love to see this scenario while flying an F16!!!
Loving these longer videos! Keep up the good work GS
F-35 doesn’t really get a ton of attention on this channel, especially BVR, it’s nice to see Fat Amy getting some love!
F-35B does not have a gun because of the VSTOL system.
F-35 SEED mission instead of F-16 next time please.
P.S. Love your videos dude.
If they modeled the X-32 id love to see a F35 vs X32 dog fight.
When i plaed DCS. i could never be this calm. When dog fighting
The fight just demonstrates the differences in technology between these two beasts of jets.
It demonstrates DCS has still a long way to model the F35 properly
Yes, but the concept here is not far from reality.
@@kwkfortythree39 F-35 missiles always miss in DCS, Hmm
@@kwkfortythree39 yea, i think no fighter jet pulls up to 17 g’s
@@NationChosenByGod Except it really is, F-35 systems have a huge advantage
After the Serbs shot down the F-117, they wrote ''Sorry, we didn't know it was invisible'' on the wreckage.
Every f-35 pilot wants to become an f22 pilot when they grow up
Hahaha! Love it.
Interesting. I hope you do it again except in an SU57.
I'm still not sold on the f35. F-22 is just something special!
Outcome expected, but still fun to watch ;0
SEAD mission w longshot
F-35
Dogfight with mig 29 on the way out
Enemy base has S-300s
Awesome video btw!!
wait.. since when does the F35 not have guns? It's supposed to have 25mm Gau/22
I think the B variant has no internal gun, but both the A and C do.
@@wraith444 cheers for the info!
The A variant has an internal one. The B and C variant carry their gun in a optional pod underneath.
What’s the point of having a gun on a f-35 though? If it ever merged with basically any plane , it’s instant death for the f-35. No gun on the planet can save it
Could you do a BVR battle between an F35 and a gen 4 fighter? F35 attacking ground targets with gen 4 fighters protecting would be interesting
Will you show us what you're looking at for all your information? Range, locks, RWR, etc.
A Raptor against two lighting-II's'. 0~o Sooooo we're kicking aggressive puppy's today are we. >~
Love your videos, informative and funny at times.
That's what i think, if every aircraft has stealth. Dogfight hapenned more often than bvr. Because is so hard to get lock using fox 3. If we got so me lock, the enemy just around 7 miles away
Would be cool to see an F22 defend a SAM site against 2xF35 on SEAD with 2xEurofighter escort.
One F22 pilot said that flying against an F35 is very similar to flying against another F22. That was not visible in this encounter.
thanks as always for doing a tacview !
I think both airframes can be praised for great maneuverability but I must admit that I think the SU-57 is monster competition for the F-22 Raptor maybe even for the Super Raptor. Seeing how close those missles came in your latest video with the SU-57 Felon seems daunting to say the least.
Higher stealth vs higher maneuverability when both are stealthy highly maneuverable airframes. Interesting asf
