Check out the Store: growling-sidewinder.creator-spring.com/ Kind of a longer video, but it's the night mission everyone was asking for, so here it is, hope you enjoyed the video, Much Love.
GS, please upload more content like this please! I really liked this video where there are lots of Nato aircraft vs lots of Russian aircraft! Next time try doing something where Nato planes are attacking the Russian side! Thanks
Love more of these "scenario" videos where you scramble after an attack. Just the being behind the 8 ball factor is so exciting and dangerous!!! Awesome video!!!!👍😊
You're far too young to have seen it at the time but during the early days of GW1, there was a live news report on UK TV from a reporter in Kuwait standing on an apartment balcony one evening just as the sun was going down & a cruise missile came down the street at tree-top level behind him. mid broadcast. Remember, this was in the days before the internet & 24 rolling news so we were all amazed by it.
I. Recall. That Moment. That footage was replayed even on local news here in the States. T'was but a kid, but already rocking a PC 386sx@16mhz. I was playing Microprose's F-117A(old sk00l flight-sim) while watching TV. when I see the blurb of that footage
Realistically, dubai is probably excessively covered by its own SAM system and not just a single patriot launcher. Pushing over UAE land is probably a death sentence to a 1st wave of fighters.
@@XiaOmegaX going against country that has wast amounts of oil and is selling it to the west for cheap is a death sentence. We all remember what happened in Kuvait... you mess with NATO(USA) oil, you are gone.
Also, have you thought about doing a sort of campaign-like series of episodes? Maybe get a flight together and if anyone dies they're out for the rest of the campaign? It might not work out, but who knows.
If I recall correctly, he wouldn’t mind making this type of video, but it’s tricky getting schedules to line up sometimes (especially if there’s more than one person involved)
Amazing work on the intro, narration and cinematics! The entire video is great, it really conveys the feeling of being overwhelmed by an enemy in the night
This scenario was INSANE... not only if you've ever been there (to Dubai), but you can actually FEEL the constant pressure he's under. Tacview AAR confirms. Amazing video GS.
There's something about nightime fights combined with fights originally being BVR and slowly getting into WVR that just makes me tense up like nothing else does... a well-done video bruv! Hoping for more (and a counterattack too)
This is the BEST video on the internet! Thank you @GrowlingSidewinder Please do more like this This type of scenario, the night mission, the lighting etc … pure art!
Im glad that the NVGs now have the bright white-ish centers of the lights. Makes it feel more real and not like just some green filter. I had a reshade setting for 2.7 to adjust it to make it look real. Glad to say Im not using reshade in 2.8. I actually remember posting in the ED discord screenshots of what their looks like and what my reshade nvgs looked like.
Hundreds of hours on night vision while flying and I can say it is close but not quite right. Still pretty good for a sim though. You can also only focus them for outside the cockpit so everthing inside is blurry. You litteraly look under your NVG's at the gauges.
Fantastic mission. Even more fantastic running commentary. If Hollywood ever produces Tom Clancy’s “Red Storm Rising” (my favorite of all his novels) your commentary would be absolutely “Clutch”!!! Bravo!!!
That Final engagement was INTENSE! Been following you for a Year now; IMO, This is one of your best works. For me, I was getting flash-backs to Falcon 4.0 Superpak 4/5~. Thx again bro!
This was really fun, I love your more senarized missions, they change from the dogfight videos that are very similars to each others. I woould love to see you do an entire campaign.
yes, ED did a great job, with patch 2.8....like you do a great job, everytime i watch videos from you, dude. learning so much from it. go on with that passionate work.
Also to respond to your comment that there isn't much to see outside at night, I really love night time BFM engagements without NV, watch flares burn white and orange hot as black silhouetted jets sling missiles and rounds
Nice idea for a scenario - loved the video, keep-up the good work! The Flankers definitely had an advantage over your AIM-120C-equipped F-16 there. I have to say that I'd prefer it if a greater proportion of your videos were missions / scenarios but I appreciate that they probably take a lot more time to create compared with a "simple" dogfight.
Some heart pounding video here. my screen is 140" so it looks dicey when I watch some of your content. I mostly watch Viper vids as that is my bird of choice.
if you give the mission a full moon and not heavy on the clouds, you can turn the gamma setting up in the dcs options menu and that will make it look like a bright full moon night and not need the NVG. thats what i do and it reminds me at least where i live on a full moon .
I loved this video. VERY realistic, and the situation unknown aspect rocks. Scary how those SU-30's are going to upset the balance of power in the mid-east.
Eh... This was an all-in attack and the Iranian side took heavy losses for the victory. I have my doubts that anything like this would actually occur because it would leave them vulnerable to coalition counter attack.
I think a video top down filming a rate fight on the deck would be amazing, that way you could see an accurate representation of the jets chasing each others tails and out eating eachother
Civillian aircrafts do not have RWR, you are correct. Even if they do, imagine what can they do if they are being tracked by misilles? Pull a 9G turn to defend? Put out chaff? LOL. Excellent video as always. Love it.
Pretty stressful battle. I might not be the only one wondering how well an F22 would do here? Certainly the S300's and Flankers radar lock the F16's from a long way off, thus the missile bombardment that happens. Might be a different battlefield with 1-2 F22's amongst it, being harder to see both radar and eyeball wise....
It’s kinda interesting to note that a very similar procedure was executed on 9/11 as fighters all around the country were scrambled with order pretty much identical to yours: take off, destroy anything that could be hostile, and repeat until we sound the all clear. I think they were even cleared to fire on civilian aircraft if they deemed necessary. Just goes to show the shock that came with the attacks.
Alright, now it's time to recreate Stealth (2005). F/A-37 Talon (F-22 for DCS) BVR into merge versus 3 SU-37 Terminators, a slight modification to the actual scene but you get the idea. Would love to see it!
i’m making a campaign for me and my friends that’s similar to this, Iranian first strike has locked down the Gulf and we’ll be doing some longer range air to ground stuff trying to soften up the fast attack craft threat so the task force can enter the gulf and establish air cover for the Dubai area.
As much as I like the idea of fighting Iranian Su-30s, I would have enjoyed a more "One-man army" type fight, where you are fighting a superior force of Iranian Fulcrums and Tomcats. But in the end, this works out well, if Iran acquires the Su-30 and Su-35, I will be able to purchase an Su-35 myself!
Now that was one hell of a fight. Very nicely done. Well done to both you and the Iranians. I do wanna ask though, in a scenario like this, or perhaps any modern day air to air scenario, which of you do you think had the better plane? Cause the F-16C is a fantastic and capable thing, even in such situations, but it seems Iranians utilitiezed their Flankers better than even the Russian pilots. Do you think it came down to tactics and pilot skill, or simply being outgunned by the enemy equipment?

I kind of prefer the "no NVG" option.

I completely agree.

When you consider the current tensions in the region, this video almost feels like a preview of what "could" realistically happen.
Unless USA invades another country in middle east, nothing will happen.
Realistically, dubai is probably excessively covered by its own SAM system and not just a single patriot launcher. Pushing over UAE land is probably a death sentence to a 1st wave of fighters.
@@XiaOmegaX going against country that has wast amounts of oil and is selling it to the west for cheap is a death sentence. We all remember what happened in Kuvait... you mess with NATO(USA) oil, you are gone.
@@Bolter024 They would get stomped lol
@@Bolter024 Who would root for the Mad Mullahs? They'd hang you if they got their hands on you bro.

@@sykosocial sounds about right.
Realistically he'd only need 1 other person per episode and optionally more. Flights are usually 2-4.
@@ImperiumLibertas the length of this kind of campaign would rely on GS not getting killed because then the heart of the content is gone.
@@its-butters58 to each their own
I love how you answer to your subs and actually put out content that people ask for 💪 great content man
seeing battles that aren't completely one sides makes it so much more exciting specially with a night time mission.
Amazing work on the intro, narration and cinematics! The entire video is great, it really conveys the feeling of being overwhelmed by an enemy in the night
Of the best videos I’ve ever seen. The planes going down, the destroyed ground facilities. It gives a feeling that you are truly in combat.
This scenario was INSANE... not only if you've ever been there (to Dubai), but you can actually FEEL the constant pressure he's under. Tacview AAR confirms.
Amazing video GS.
Great camera work for the Flanker take-offs.
There's something about nightime fights combined with fights originally being BVR and slowly getting into WVR that just makes me tense up like nothing else does... a well-done video bruv! Hoping for more (and a counterattack too)
That camera angle on takeoff is BEAUTIFUL 😍
This is the BEST video on the internet! Thank you @GrowlingSidewinder
Please do more like this
This type of scenario, the night mission, the lighting etc … pure art!
Well second the first is Dude Perfect 😎
@@craigbringman7967 of course not, it's totally the dQw4w9WgXcQ

Gib me white phosphor or I riot
@@ImperiumLibertas pilots would love having white phosphor lol
Did they change night vision? Last time I used NVGs they were monocular, with one circle in the center of the screen being lit up green?
Hundreds of hours on night vision while flying and I can say it is close but not quite right. Still pretty good for a sim though. You can also only focus them for outside the cockpit so everthing inside is blurry. You litteraly look under your NVG's at the gauges.

This is my favorite video outside of the WW2 stuff. Complete scenario without knowing what is coming from where. Very cool.
Wow, I was gripping the table and nearly fell off my computer chair......great video, thank you
Having flown out of DXB several times, this is kinda horrifying and super interesting all together.
That Final engagement was INTENSE! Been following you for a Year now; IMO, This is one of your best works. For me, I was getting flash-backs to Falcon 4.0 Superpak 4/5~. Thx again bro!
God damn dude, the improvements to the lighting on PG completely change and upgrade the experience in a HUGE way.
Absolutely love these massive campaign scale videos. Would love some more of these where you're just a cog in a much bigger machine
I love how you chose Dubai for this mission, you’re essentially dogfighting over Coruscant
Love the longer format videos that is mission related. Perhaps a weekly video with a mission from cold start to landing and shutdown
You buzzed all those residential areas at such speed... I hope they've got aerial combat insurance coverage.
This was really fun, I love your more senarized missions, they change from the dogfight videos that are very similars to each others. I woould love to see you do an entire campaign.
Thanks for doing a night mission for us GS and you got it out so fast. Was just yesterday a bunch of us were asking. So cool thanks for that.
Ah man how hype! I was rewatching some of the old hornet night missions, very happy to see this in my feed
The spontaneous air war videos may just predict future scenarios. Great work.
Absolute carnage.
Very interesting mission with so many aircrafts engaged in the fight, and all that in the dark to boot!
Love these scenarios! At night and a crowded airspace over Dubai gave this a scary real world feel! Keep up the great work!
Man, this was one of the coolest missions you've ever done! Try it again pls!!!
Wow, probably one of the best videos in recent times!
Would love to see more night vids.
yes, ED did a great job, with patch 2.8....like you do a great job, everytime i watch videos from you, dude. learning so much from it. go on with that passionate work.
Seeing the tacview and how ambushed the F16s were gave me mad anxiety. Trying to scramble from the airport to instantly get brought down. Great video
absolutely love these scenario based videos, this one turned out great, keep them coming 🙏
Also to respond to your comment that there isn't much to see outside at night, I really love night time BFM engagements without NV, watch flares burn white and orange hot as black silhouetted jets sling missiles and rounds
Some of the best gaming content on RUclips. Bar none.
I'd love to see this scenario played out with a small force of f22 maybe even just two, some sexy stealth night missions XD.
dude, best video in a while. Suspense, night vision, plenty of RWR beeping :D Got it all!

Definitely it was one of the best you have ever shared with us. Thank you 🙏
I love bvr fights because of the mystery and thrill of the unknown, but this is next level
probably shouldn't have wasted all that time admiring how beautiful the city looks from the sky.
MORE OF THIS! Excellent content. That was super entertaining. Great work!
Incredible video. Just goes to show I think how important information is to modern warfare and why the f35 was developed the way it is.
LOL I can just see it now: a pilot casually strolling over to the hanger and asking “hey, can I get another F-16 please?” 😂😂
>
easily one of the more fun videos in a long while
amazong video, the amount of missiles that were flying at one time was absurd
NO WAY HE DID IT!!!
I remember seeing a guy asking for a night fight and he freaking did it
Man with that ejection, at least you can jump into another plane and go back up lol. Nice quick turn around just like the Battle of Britain.
As someone who has lived in Dubai and flown into there at night, this looks incredible. It very comparable to the actual night view in Dubai.
Thanks for delivering with the night mission!
The moon looks pretty small but the the Lum is 100% you have the best night vision ever.
Civillian aircrafts do not have RWR, you are correct.
Even if they do, imagine what can they do if they are being tracked by misilles? Pull a 9G turn to defend? Put out chaff? LOL.
Excellent video as always. Love it.
i never heard so much rwr in one gs video
These cinematic shots just hit different
Very cool, one of your better ones as of late. ;)
Please do more of these. Definitely my favorite one to date, other than mini docs
This is a very cool idea for a video with the current climate.

That was really cool to watch man, definitely would love to see more like this in the future!
Excellent video, love an unknown scramble scenario like this!
Great to see these scenario/BVM videos. Love the TacView.
It’s kinda interesting to note that a very similar procedure was executed on 9/11 as fighters all around the country were scrambled with order pretty much identical to yours: take off, destroy anything that could be hostile, and repeat until we sound the all clear. I think they were even cleared to fire on civilian aircraft if they deemed necessary. Just goes to show the shock that came with the attacks.
You know what we want next... same scenario... Felon vs Raptor. Should be spicy!
This is where the raptor would rule supreme and great vids as always GS
Alright, now it's time to recreate Stealth (2005). F/A-37 Talon (F-22 for DCS) BVR into merge versus 3 SU-37 Terminators, a slight modification to the actual scene but you get the idea. Would love to see it!
That was pretty intense, I'd like to see the swing of gaining air superiority, and maybe that lone f22
night missions just give a really really cool vibe
With all that supersonic low flying over the city, it will be like Christmas to local window salesmen.
Love this kinda video with the air traffic and stuff. So cool!
Definitely need more night videos. This was cool to see
HE LISTENED! HELL YEAH you're the man amazing vid!
i’m making a campaign for me and my friends that’s similar to this, Iranian first strike has locked down the Gulf and we’ll be doing some longer range air to ground stuff trying to soften up the fast attack craft threat so the task force can enter the gulf and establish air cover for the Dubai area.
That was exciting and a bit frightening. Well done
Great video! You almost got away... At least you took two of them down before they got you...
Love the night mission, definitely would like to see more!
This should have been called "Growling Sidewinder defending practice"
this was incredibly entertaining to watch! good shit GS!
Really interesting! Hope to see more of these.
Hey GS. Great video. Could you maybe do an F 22 Night Mission. Would love to see the stealth capabilities of this thing in the night.

Dig it bro!
Very, very nice camerawork here!
Something that could really happen, love your content.

Awsome video! Definatly want more of these!
This was intense!! Another great vid by GS!
