I know you're constantly barraged by requests but I've been curious to see a series of how well the F4 Phantom does in gun fight against modern fighters. My grandpa is a diehard F4 fan and one of his favorite stories is how the F4s shot down the new F14s when the Navy first got them. Maybe start there? :D
@@johnnyl.4468 Probably none, the metallurgy alone was decades ahead, then the flight computers are pure magic by comparison, they might figure out jet engines quicker, but it would take years to decipher how the f22 functions.
That went surprisingly well for the P-51. Of course this was the best scenario for it, but to see that the P-51s strengths still match some of the best modern day aircraft is truly impressive.
In WW2 German pilots in the invasion of Poland were told hit the polish bi planes on the ground, do NOT get in a dogfight with them because they can turn on a dime.
@@GVK-jm9sg that was extreme over confidence on the part of the F22 pilot. One thing I was always told by old WW2 pilots I was friends with (RIP). There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are very few, old bold pilots.
First time viewer and I have to say I’m glad dude was persistent. I’ve always wondered about WWII craft vs modern gen. Subscribed now in the hopes for a P-38 Lightning (11:1 kill ratio in the Pacific Theater) vs anything modern.
This shit won't work. P-51 is somewhat agile and capable of dogfight. P-38 was good only because they have been used it in big masses and when they had an advantage of speed.
@@MariaCorrea-mr2gy So you're giving the P-38 all the advantages? If I was piloting F-35 against P-38, I'd say "screw you" to the "turn only" rule and just climb high and then dive down at the P-38. It can't keep up in climb, and neither against a diving jet.
GS is the epitome of "It's not the plane it's the pilot" After dunking on the entirety of the DCS catalog with the F22 you turn around and dunk on the F22 with a freaking warbird What can't you do?
I just got to see both an F-22 and a P-51 flying in formation together a few months back at an air show at Ellsworth Air Force Base here in Box Elder South Dakota. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen. It made me sooooo happy!
Yep. I didn't understand why the Raptor wasn't using his main advantage (other than the Sidewinders) of speed to make slashing attacks on the Mustang. Come in at speed, take a shot and then climb. The Mustang shouldn't be able to match the climb.
@@longshot7601 Its like someone with an AR-15 tried to do a spinning jump quickscope, tripped, and someone ran up and stabbed him. " See!!!! knives are just as deadly as a battle rifle!"
The moment where you were like "my engine isn't dead so I should be good to land" *next clip cuts to the 51s engine seizing and sully big eyes* 😂 I haven't laughed that hard at a video in awhile. You've got yourself a sub sir lol
The damage in the engine probably lead to a overheat, that lead to a catastrophic failure, probably by some piece that broke and all engine went jamm. I saw something like this in a car, it's scary AF. Sully clenched so hard, probably could make diamonds with the pressure.

the pilot was more expensive than both though, which is why you don't see countries swarming each other with the 3000 black jets of allah and bankrupting the enemy over air-to-air missile costs
@@reboundrides8132 This. A lot of people here dont realize there had to be parameters for this fight limiting the raptor. For instance in a rate fight with the p51 hit the afterburner get ur 500knts and go vertical, fights over for the p51. Same thing from the start. On the merge hit the afterburner go vertical stall the p51 and roll over. Definitely limits set on the raptor
I think you're gunnery skills are amazing, but you're killing me with the rising turns! Even if the P-51 needs an alt advantage, it's made more as a strike and runs, so forcing the F-22 into a diving turn would have given you the energy to return to the original altitude a bit. Obviously, you did great regardless lmao, the veterans would be proud
The random rolls you're getting in the turn are accelerated stalls. You can minimize them, and decrease your turn radius by using flaps. The flap extension speed for the first notch is 450 mph IIRC. If you go vertical or you're trying to get some energy back, get rid of them, but otherwise those are invaluable. Source: flight instructor.
Ah thanks for the info dude i have the same problem but i could find a way to search it i have one more slight problem if i put my flaps im lossing too much speed and i could stall out and not able to recover it falling like a leaf although i know the counter vertical stabilization in the left or in the right respectively
I would imagine that the same could apply in something like IL-2 right? it is also very highly simulated so I have to imagine such factors should be similar.
@@commandergeokam2868 if you're slowing down that much, you need to unload the wings, defeat the stall, clean up the flaps if necessary, and get some energy back.
@@wruenvadam yeah, it works. Hell, it works in warthunder. Flaps artificially reduce AoA at the cost of energy, and so they allow for you to continue turning when you would normally stall due to airflow seperation.
That's awesome. Seeing two planes, the best of their times, in a dogfight. It's legit challenging your grandfather to a dogfight. This matchup had sentimental value to me. Great flying.
@@dylan4972 Not to mention the soviets Yak-3 which was outstanding in dogfights it probably had the best turning maneuverability than any other aircraft. The p-51 was very good and it’s multitask jobs wether it was tankbombing or dogfighting it sure was good at for it
As a dogfighter? Probably the F4U, or spit, maybe one of the german prototype push pullers. The warbird was a long range heavy escort fighter, a bit hindered in flight performance by this necessity.
In my humble opinion, a definite top 5 in the most entertaining category of your video's. Love the "ok, here we are on the deck ..... in a rate fight with a raptor" enough said! Good job Bud
I'll be honest: I have no idea how you figured out a guns solution on the fly for a F22. It flies faster than anything you'd ordinarily need to lead with those .50 cals, and the .50s need to lead more than the higher velocity 20mm. The fact that you put trigger down for about a second, watched the tracers, and found a guns solution is honesly kind of ridiculously incredible. Even if he lost sight, I imagine a lot of otherwise competent P51 players would have alerted the Raptor pilot with a few misses and caused him to jink.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Luck is what others call skill when they don't have any. It was a great shot from a very good pilot, take it for what it was GS :D
raptor pilot made a big mistake going nose high and staying slow after he lost sight. should've gone full burner and gained speed before climbing. staying slow is the only time a warbird would've have a chance against a raptor.
Round 1 face plant was a $300 million mistake. I love it. Your skills GS is amazing. Nobody has a chance against the F22 but you turned him into a lawn dart. Great landing, you walked to the hospital. Round 3 was beautiful too.
How cool was that first dog fight, it was like a movie, enemy makes a mistake and crashes but wounds the pilot, while bleeding out and trying to circle to the airfield the engine cuts out and glides to a landing with damaged gear! Love it!
I really love your videos and the depth of understanding of the capabilities of different aircraft and weapon systems and also the history of flight. I am going to end up asking you for a full education soon. Please keep the content coming, I really enjoy the content on this channel
I'd love seeing a nicely done Douglas A-1 Skyraider for something like DCS. Would fit well with a lot of the Vietnam era stuff. Give you some fun ground attack, and some desperate defensive dogfights.
2 of those did kill 1 MIG in Vietnam. It’s a History Channel ‘Dogfights’ episode, if I recall correctly, (NOT titled ‘Long Odds’, my error is corrected by O-50-50 below), The episode was titled ‘gun kills of Vietnam’.
@@flyingscotsman9657 One Vulcan has about double the rate of fire as 4x20mm cannon on a FW-190 A6 for example. Half a Vulcan is still a lot of firepower, even if the muzzle velocity is 30% lower ;)
A very entertaining video. Everyone needs to remember that dogfighting in the jet era is the last resort. We all saw what happened here when missiles come into play, and that is the tactic spot them before they spot you and kill them BVR before they know you are there. Ran out of missiles? Do what the other guy can't- go higher.
No way... I damn near jumped out of my seat watching you hose down a F-22 the last round. I’m absolutely dying laughing 🤣 you are a flying cheat code GS
Do you realize the cost to effectiveness ratio from this? For one F22 we could just have 185 Mustangs and totally dominate!! The be real though, pride killed that Raptor pilot.
I guess the Russians will need to go back to old WW2 planes mode. Spam 10k of them and the whole NATO countries will have a hard time shooting them down 😂
Not the rout I would have expected- you lived long enough in the first round to see him make a fatal mistake AND made a good landing in a crippled Mustang. In the second round he had to resort to missiles to get you- effective but not sporting. In the third you shot him down fair and square.
Obviously the rules of engagement were that the F-22 couldn't go into the vertical and use it's speed and climb advantage as you said before. It was still great to see the one circle and two circle fight. The man in the crate always makes the difference. Just like the P-51 pilots in WWII that managed to shoot down Me262s.
@Prestallar This is true. Early jet engines had horrible spool up times and throttle management was all pilot skill. No FADEC or any engine management computer.
Pretty much all 262 kills were low down where the 262 really struggled against slower, more manoeuvrable fighter. At altitude it could just boom & zoom.
@@nathanfox6388 That is assuming that the P51 is recognized as a hostile fighter. At the speeds and altitudes it would operate at that is surprisingly unlikely, ESPECIALLY considering it's continously large radar cross-section compared to modern fighters. It just doesn't look like a military aircraft on radar.
I like the slomo of round 3, you can really tell that he completely tore up the engines, the ailerons and the rudders. Even if the F22 could still fly he wouldn't be able to maneuver.
@@Man0War I mean I don't know what it's like in dcs world but in x plane I usually fly a little under the glideslope and pitch up more. Honestly once you get a good pitch, usually around 10-15 degrees and maintain that pitch just open and lower the throttle to gain or lose speed while constantly descending and maintaining that 10-15 degree pitch idk if that made any sense
@@Man0War I wasn't good either when I first started, I just days and days and days of just landings, until finally I was getting the hang of it. it's really all a matter of practice until you get it right kind of thing.
@@ian_lewono apparently the p51 had a tighter turning circle and the best turning plane was the De Havilland Mosquito - ultimate multi role aircraft I looked it up on google and its mixed answers between the spitfire, p51, mosquito, yak 3, etc. So I'm guessing at low altitude the spitfire was the better Turner, and at high alt the p51 was the better turner? Don't really know
@@ricksanchez8469 no, they were all about speed, not turn fights but speed that's why they sent out the f4u instead of the p51, cuz it was all about energy in the pacific, not dogfights
@@kingviper3444 even now if like a wwi biplane we're to do a turn test against a modern jet I think we all know who would win If you don't check out GS MK2 video on the Fokker Dr1 triplane pulling a cobra
I was watching a video of some F-16/F-18 fighter pilots on a panel discussing what it would be like to fight a P 51 and pretty much all of them said they would not wanna try it in a slow fight. Essentially they would just choose to shoot it from beyond line of sight
Boom and zoom tactics and the P51 would most likely be toast while the jet can just keep making passes at it using the power and speed to its advantage and shoot it to peace's... And that is without even using the heat seeking missiles.
@Admiral Kipper modem heat seekers such as the aim 9X douse the seeker with liquid nitrogen (very cold in liquid form), and so any engine heat difference will be easily picked out from the surroundings
@@thejhonnie piston engined aircraft do have a smaller radar crosssection due to raw size difference and radar boucing off curvatures in the body, although the side of the plane, radiators, and tail is pretty flat for radar returns - radar was used effectivly in WW2 in both the European and the Pacific theater to detect aircraft
Great performance, especially since Mustangs were involved in D-Day, 78 years ago. What better way to commemorate that moment than by a victory over the F-22.
Your right, the only reason you have any chance is because hes staying close and turning with you. If you just put you in the dust he could let the missiles do the work.
Smart man, quit while you were ahead 2-1. The first kill was a little questionable, but there’s no denying you totally killed him the second time. Good shit.
maneuver kills definitely count, if you can get the bandit to maneuver into the ground in relation to you or depart flight and not recover before they crash, you just scored a win
@@pr0skis Well, my idea was that in a guns only dogfight between the A-10 and for example a Fighter, the Fighter would climb away and then attack it from above, keeping his speed. But with missiles he can't do that well unless he defeats both of them. With that the A-10 has a chance.
First fight: Target fixated and saw nothing BUT the P-51 in his sights. Third fight: Lose sight, lose fight. As it always has been and always shall be. I also think you put bullets into his cockpit. Regardless, awesome fight as always.
That was amazing fun, i've always said the old planes were built to last! It had your usual great flying with a comedy death but that landing in round 1 was tense! :D If this is going to be a regular thing, I'd love to see a Spitfire Mk2 vs a Eurofighter Typhoon. Cheers!
Really not surprising, ww2 planes were true dogfighters. Lower speed and high maneuverability will win the day in the turning fight. Jets win with speed and in the vertical. Had I been in the F-22, I’d have just used that speed to dictate the fight. Dive in on a gun or missile run, take a shot, climb away out of reach, circle around above, spot, turn in, and dive down again. Repeat till dead. As pilots of old always said, speed is life. If you got a speed advantage, use it. Especially against a target with no missiles to shoot back.
If the Raptor pilot wanted to, I'm sure they could make it a no contest fight with missiles + vertical. But I think they wanted to try and make it interesting, and I respect that! I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the video as much if the Raptor pilot just went textbook and made all the objectively correct decisions! ^^
@@Wildeskraut really? How do you figure? Because in my mind, dog fighting ended with the perfection of missile technology. Fast forward to Korea in 1951-53 and the primary weapon for the F-86 and Mig-15 were still guns, no missiles, which meant they were still dog fighting in the skies. It really wasn’t until Vietnam where we saw missiles taking over in air-to-air kills. Long story short, I fail to see how you can say dog fighting ended during ww2 when the technology that effectively ended most dogfights didn’t really become relevant until a couple decades after.
@@GonzoDonzo oh yes indeed, but at least the P-51 managed to gain a fighting chance in a tighter dog fight. If the F-22 was really making a serious attempt to kill the P-51 it would not only do what you said but would probably try to deny the P-51 the merge in the first place. Just sending missiles would be enough for the F-22.
@@StaleCrony I have to think on this one tjey may have planed it or agreed to some speed format. If you look at the attitude of the f22 it appears as if it is nose up trying to prevent a stall in most of the dogfights. If it were real, hit the ABs and climb and then just dive. But again, I really think they agreed to some condition of fight.
@@AbsoluteyAmerican perhaps, it seems like that’s exactly what they may have done. Realistically the F-22 has many things that it can do to avoid getting hit by the P-51. Maybe it really did have one arm tied behind it’s back, maybe their agreement was to remain bellow a certain speed and altitude in order to give the P-51 a chance to stay within the turn circle. It actually makes a lot of sense. It does make me wonder though, if the F-22 was restricted then I want too see a version of the fight that the Raptor gives it it’s best attempt every time. I doubt the P-51 will have a chance but it sounds fun to view.
I love these videos because of how unique and unpredictable they can be. You really have no idea how things can turn out. More of these please! Love your work.
I've always regarded the mustang as the F-22 of its time in terms of maneuverability and dog fighting prowess, interesting match up thats for sure. kinda wish you guys got wrapped up in a longer fight & started busting out the stall maneuvers! seeing how the raptor a can also pull off some funky moves or comfortably go in and out of spins similar albeit much better performing to the mustang, although in that situation unlike fighting a 109 I imagine the F-22 would easily outperform the P-51 in that kind of fight.
Watching these videos really highlights the importance of being able to see and fire from a distance is so important vs actually fighting them. Opened my eyes
This is far more interesting than I thought it would be. Like almost every domain, this goes to show that specialized analog still has its place in the world of multi-function digital technology.
BTW, I like these mismatched fights. Especially when the flight model of one is fully known and the other is a product of a lot of speculation - very satisfying outcome in this case. 😏
Fighting over Guam! That was actually, I think, the University of Guam where he crashed @ 04:24. That running track is right next to a condo where I used to live.
The F22 just looks so damn intimidating, it doesn't matter what angle you look at it. I can't imagine going up against one of those in anything less than one of those alien fighters from the Independence Day movie. Also; F22 vs. Alien fighter from Independence Day please.
That would have been a good scene until the Aliens spewed out in ridiculous numbers like a swarm of mosquitoes. It was like 2000 V about 50...that spoiled the scene a lot I think.
Ummm. You know of the yf-23 right? It literally was the f22s competitor, the only reason why it lost against f22 was budget. Otherwise the plane looked way more sexy and intimidating and not to mention outperformed the f22 in every single category, literally all of them….except the slow fly by drills
Had a great uncle who was a Mustang driver in WWII. That was impressive and awesome victory especially on 78th Anniversary of D-day. He would have loved this.

@@wruenvadam yeah, it works. Hell, it works in warthunder. Flaps artificially reduce AoA at the cost of energy, and so they allow for you to continue turning when you would normally stall due to airflow seperation.

@@Isaiah-oj6zm what was the best in your opinion and why do you think that?
Best of their times??? Lol, good joke
@@dylan4972 Not to mention the soviets Yak-3 which was outstanding in dogfights it probably had the best turning maneuverability than any other aircraft. The p-51 was very good and it’s multitask jobs wether it was tankbombing or dogfighting it sure was good at for it
As a dogfighter? Probably the F4U, or spit, maybe one of the german prototype push pullers. The warbird was a long range heavy escort fighter, a bit hindered in flight performance by this necessity.
hearing the pilot crying and struggling to keep the blood out of his throat broke my heart
nah he's just overcome with emotion from taking down an f22. Best day of his life.
The engine seizing solid and torque reaction just about twisting the wings off was pure gold
Seems realistic actually. I know they use A10’s in dog fight training against f22’s etc because the A10 actually has a surprisingly sharp turn radius.

Dude, if that engine seized up any sooner, it would have been a tie. 😂 What impeccable timing.
Jaw actually dropped at the F22 crash and that Sully meme was hilarious
Very poggers video length
I'll be honest: I have no idea how you figured out a guns solution on the fly for a F22. It flies faster than anything you'd ordinarily need to lead with those .50 cals, and the .50s need to lead more than the higher velocity 20mm. The fact that you put trigger down for about a second, watched the tracers, and found a guns solution is honesly kind of ridiculously incredible. Even if he lost sight, I imagine a lot of otherwise competent P51 players would have alerted the Raptor pilot with a few misses and caused him to jink.
I wish I could take credit for that but I think there was a lot of luck involved in that shot.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Luck is what others call skill when they don't have any. It was a great shot from a very good pilot, take it for what it was GS :D
raptor pilot made a big mistake going nose high and staying slow after he lost sight. should've gone full burner and gained speed before climbing. staying slow is the only time a warbird would've have a chance against a raptor.
@@GrowlingSidewinder call it luck, we have about a thounsand vids from a guy that has the same name as you proving that it isnt luck

Round 1 face plant was a $300 million mistake. I love it. Your skills GS is amazing. Nobody has a chance against the F22 but you turned him into a lawn dart. Great landing, you walked to the hospital. Round 3 was beautiful too.
How cool was that first dog fight, it was like a movie, enemy makes a mistake and crashes but wounds the pilot, while bleeding out and trying to circle to the airfield the engine cuts out and glides to a landing with damaged gear! Love it!
Very Memphis Belle of him

I'd love seeing a nicely done Douglas A-1 Skyraider for something like DCS. Would fit well with a lot of the Vietnam era stuff. Give you some fun ground attack, and some desperate defensive dogfights.

Ahem
A very entertaining video. Everyone needs to remember that dogfighting in the jet era is the last resort. We all saw what happened here when missiles come into play, and that is the tactic spot them before they spot you and kill them BVR before they know you are there. Ran out of missiles? Do what the other guy can't- go higher.

This is the first GS video I ever saw. Good job dude 👍
Do you realize the cost to effectiveness ratio from this? For one F22 we could just have 185 Mustangs and totally dominate!! The be real though, pride killed that Raptor pilot.
the Raptor pilot was clearly being cocky
in terms of hardware yes perhaps, but the cost of training 185 pilots to fly them is another story ;)
I guess the Russians will need to go back to old WW2 planes mode. Spam 10k of them and the whole NATO countries will have a hard time shooting them down 😂

@@pogo1140 Gloriously filmed without CGI.
What a beautiful kill in the third round. Awesome slo-mo shots
Not the rout I would have expected- you lived long enough in the first round to see him make a fatal mistake AND made a good landing in a crippled Mustang. In the second round he had to resort to missiles to get you- effective but not sporting. In the third you shot him down fair and square.
Even in a Raptor: lose sight means lose the fight.
Round 2 was just pure unadulterated rage. Not only did he give GS BOTH 9Xs, he then gunned GS TWICE.
yup the second round was just a pure rage fight on part of the Raptor pilot, very dishonourable
always lay down machine gun when anticipating nose-to-nose with the enemy.
Obviously the rules of engagement were that the F-22 couldn't go into the vertical and use it's speed and climb advantage as you said before. It was still great to see the one circle and two circle fight. The man in the crate always makes the difference. Just like the P-51 pilots in WWII that managed to shoot down Me262s.
It also want a BVR engagement, which is how this would play out in a real scenario. The P-51 would never see the raptor
@Prestallar This is true. Early jet engines had horrible spool up times and throttle management was all pilot skill. No FADEC or any engine management computer.
Pretty much all 262 kills were low down where the 262 really struggled against slower, more manoeuvrable fighter. At altitude it could just boom & zoom.
@@richardbryan6349 still a problem with spooling up, that's probably why the video showing the habit's of a jet ac's not a WW1 or WW2 pilot
@@nathanfox6388 That is assuming that the P51 is recognized as a hostile fighter. At the speeds and altitudes it would operate at that is surprisingly unlikely, ESPECIALLY considering it's continously large radar cross-section compared to modern fighters. It just doesn't look like a military aircraft on radar.
Lmao going back after watching the Su-57.. bro I’m dying after the “ohh that was horrific” 😂😂
I like the slomo of round 3, you can really tell that he completely tore up the engines, the ailerons and the rudders. Even if the F22 could still fly he wouldn't be able to maneuver.
Finally! I've wanted to see this fight for so long everyone was like he'll never do it lol
Even I thought I’d never do it lol
Honestly, I really enjoyed this, I wonder if you could do more of these. I’d watch all of them.
@@GrowlingSidewinder while you’re probably listening, I’ve never been good at landing and getting a good approach angle. Any way I can improve this?
@@Man0War I mean I don't know what it's like in dcs world but in x plane I usually fly a little under the glideslope and pitch up more. Honestly once you get a good pitch, usually around 10-15 degrees and maintain that pitch just open and lower the throttle to gain or lose speed while constantly descending and maintaining that 10-15 degree pitch idk if that made any sense
@@Man0War I wasn't good either when I first started, I just days and days and days of just landings, until finally I was getting the hang of it. it's really all a matter of practice until you get it right kind of thing.
I remember watching this like a year ago, and here I’m back watching it again. GS is amazing!
This was such a blast to watch, the barely able to land and actually being able to get a vastly more expensive and advanced fighter. Almost movie like
We would roll our eyes if it was a movie to be honest lol
Thanks for the consistancy @Game Warden! This was actually very entertaining! Good job guys!
F-22 went for the kill then killed himself in a parking lot lol
The spitfire I think had the tightest turning circle, i wonder if it could beat an f22 in a dogfight?
Are you sure? I feel like there was something out there that could outturn the spitfire
The Japanese planes had a tighter turning circle
@@ian_lewono apparently the p51 had a tighter turning circle and the best turning plane was the De Havilland Mosquito - ultimate multi role aircraft
I looked it up on google and its mixed answers between the spitfire, p51, mosquito, yak 3, etc.
So I'm guessing at low altitude the spitfire was the better Turner, and at high alt the p51 was the better turner? Don't really know
@@ricksanchez8469 no, they were all about speed, not turn fights but speed that's why they sent out the f4u instead of the p51, cuz it was all about energy in the pacific, not dogfights

That landing was most tense thing I have seen in months.
I was watching a video of some F-16/F-18 fighter pilots on a panel discussing what it would be like to fight a P 51 and pretty much all of them said they would not wanna try it in a slow fight. Essentially they would just choose to shoot it from beyond line of sight
Boom and zoom tactics and the P51 would most likely be toast while the jet can just keep making passes at it using the power and speed to its advantage and shoot it to peace's... And that is without even using the heat seeking missiles.
What's the title of the video ?
@Admiral Kipper could just use radar guided but even then idk..I don't pretend to understand the finer details of radar guided tracking 😂
@Admiral Kipper modem heat seekers such as the aim 9X douse the seeker with liquid nitrogen (very cold in liquid form), and so any engine heat difference will be easily picked out from the surroundings
@@thejhonnie piston engined aircraft do have a smaller radar crosssection due to raw size difference and radar boucing off curvatures in the body, although the side of the plane, radiators, and tail is pretty flat for radar returns - radar was used effectivly in WW2 in both the European and the Pacific theater to detect aircraft
Great performance, especially since Mustangs were involved in D-Day, 78 years ago. What better way to commemorate that moment than by a victory over the F-22.
Your right, the only reason you have any chance is because hes staying close and turning with you. If you just put you in the dust he could let the missiles do the work.
Smart man, quit while you were ahead 2-1. The first kill was a little questionable, but there’s no denying you totally killed him the second time. Good shit.
Manuever kill is manuever kill!
maneuver kills definitely count, if you can get the bandit to maneuver into the ground in relation to you or depart flight and not recover before they crash, you just scored a win
Agreed. If your enemy doesn’t make it home and you do, that’s always a win.
I'd love to see a Fox 2 dogfight between the A10 and another fighter.
Considering the A10 has a smaller turn and LOADS of flares it might be viable.
That would be just the same kinda fight between Mig-17s vs F4s in nam...
@@pr0skis Well, my idea was that in a guns only dogfight between the A-10 and for example a Fighter, the Fighter would climb away and then attack it from above, keeping his speed. But with missiles he can't do that well unless he defeats both of them. With that the A-10 has a chance.
Big problem would be acceleration- the A-10 doesn’t have much. And speed much over 250 mph.
Fox 2 dogfight with f18 and ac130
@@warbuzzard7167 the A-10 can reach speeds over 400mph.
Acceleration is still iffy.
That was wild. This is the most exciting video of yours I have seen.
First fight: Target fixated and saw nothing BUT the P-51 in his sights. Third fight: Lose sight, lose fight. As it always has been and always shall be. I also think you put bullets into his cockpit. Regardless, awesome fight as always.
That was amazing fun, i've always said the old planes were built to last! It had your usual great flying with a comedy death but that landing in round 1 was tense! :D If this is going to be a regular thing, I'd love to see a Spitfire Mk2 vs a Eurofighter Typhoon. Cheers!
Well its official. Scrap the f-22s and bring back the Stangs
Really not surprising, ww2 planes were true dogfighters. Lower speed and high maneuverability will win the day in the turning fight. Jets win with speed and in the vertical. Had I been in the F-22, I’d have just used that speed to dictate the fight. Dive in on a gun or missile run, take a shot, climb away out of reach, circle around above, spot, turn in, and dive down again. Repeat till dead. As pilots of old always said, speed is life. If you got a speed advantage, use it. Especially against a target with no missiles to shoot back.
Boom and zoom tactics are how we won most of our WWII and Korea fights.
If the Raptor pilot wanted to, I'm sure they could make it a no contest fight with missiles + vertical. But I think they wanted to try and make it interesting, and I respect that! I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the video as much if the Raptor pilot just went textbook and made all the objectively correct decisions! ^^
@@Wildeskraut really? How do you figure? Because in my mind, dog fighting ended with the perfection of missile technology. Fast forward to Korea in 1951-53 and the primary weapon for the F-86 and Mig-15 were still guns, no missiles, which meant they were still dog fighting in the skies. It really wasn’t until Vietnam where we saw missiles taking over in air-to-air kills.
Long story short, I fail to see how you can say dog fighting ended during ww2 when the technology that effectively ended most dogfights didn’t really become relevant until a couple decades after.
@@GloaNeko this is true. I’m guessing that’s why he didn’t use his fox 2s that first round.
@@Wildeskraut That's why there were massive dog fights during Vietnam, right?
Fantastic, people often forget how capable older fighters really are. Those fights were awesome.
Well the f-22 is making it a fight and giving the p-51 a chance. It could just outclimb and dive on the p-51 with impunity all day.
@@GonzoDonzo oh yes indeed, but at least the P-51 managed to gain a fighting chance in a tighter dog fight. If the F-22 was really making a serious attempt to kill the P-51 it would not only do what you said but would probably try to deny the P-51 the merge in the first place. Just sending missiles would be enough for the F-22.
without the missiles all the jets can do is bnz it... very, very well.
@@StaleCrony I have to think on this one tjey may have planed it or agreed to some speed format. If you look at the attitude of the f22 it appears as if it is nose up trying to prevent a stall in most of the dogfights.
If it were real, hit the ABs and climb and then just dive. But again, I really think they agreed to some condition of fight.
@@AbsoluteyAmerican perhaps, it seems like that’s exactly what they may have done. Realistically the F-22 has many things that it can do to avoid getting hit by the P-51. Maybe it really did have one arm tied behind it’s back, maybe their agreement was to remain bellow a certain speed and altitude in order to give the P-51 a chance to stay within the turn circle. It actually makes a lot of sense. It does make me wonder though, if the F-22 was restricted then I want too see a version of the fight that the Raptor gives it it’s best attempt every time. I doubt the P-51 will have a chance but it sounds fun to view.
I didn't expect this at all, super nice video!! Now I want a series of old piston aircraft vs jet engines :)
I love these videos because of how unique and unpredictable they can be. You really have no idea how things can turn out. More of these please! Love your work.
I've always regarded the mustang as the F-22 of its time in terms of maneuverability and dog fighting prowess, interesting match up thats for sure.
kinda wish you guys got wrapped up in a longer fight & started busting out the stall maneuvers! seeing how the raptor a can also pull off some funky moves or comfortably go in and out of spins similar albeit much better performing to the mustang, although in that situation unlike fighting a 109 I imagine the F-22 would easily outperform the P-51 in that kind of fight.
Watching these videos really highlights the importance of being able to see and fire from a distance is so important vs actually fighting them. Opened my eyes
I laughed pretty hard at the F-22 belly flopping into the parking lot, even though it's my favorite plane of all time
"we don't know the technologies they use, but nothing can withstand a. 50 cal barrage sir!"
It was over the moment he realized the raptor had lost him.
3:45 “You can’t beat me, Mustang”
“I know, but he can…”
*F-22 crashes into the ground*
i think this sort of ww2 plane vs modern jet really shows the importance of skill with dogfighting
3:04
I love how the P-51 is kinda screaming in sheer despair rating and circling with a Raptor. This is some legit meme potential!
“When she’s way outta your league” 😂
Brilliant stuff! Love these aircraft exploration videos.
I was a little disappointed that GS allowed missiles for this just because the P-51 has none. But all in all it was a fantastic video. 🤠
Imagine a modernised stealth, P-51 with modern prop engine and missiles!
Love the way that the P-51 barely manages to escape that first fight
A win against a raptor in a P-51. That's a story i would tell my grandchildren
Your piloting skills win the day . Well done !!!
This is far more interesting than I thought it would be. Like almost every domain, this goes to show that specialized analog still has its place in the world of multi-function digital technology.
BTW, I like these mismatched fights. Especially when the flight model of one is fully known and the other is a product of a lot of speculation - very satisfying outcome in this case. 😏

Great emergency landing as well in the P-51
