Hi, you should make some Russian HUD motives for the T-Shirts or Hudies, I´d by some for sure!!! You made my wishes with finaly flyig the Russians for several merge missions. Great! Maybe you should do some ground missions as wel...
you should make a deal to use only one time every plane in order to avoid double usage of F22, Su35, Su57 and Eurofighter which are 4++ or fifth gen. Nice video
id rather use random number generator and choose the plane at random by percentage in the inventory of the participating country. that way the chance of getting a Raptor or Felon would be pretty slim and you would get more of Hornet vs Fulcrum or Eagle vs Su-27 matchups with sometimes one side pulling out a Joker from the lottery
I think the rule should be only use once of each aircraft from a pool so they can’t just spam F22 and SU57 lol. They’d be pretty pissed off if they realized they wasted a F22 pick on a merge with a MIG 21
@@JegSkaSkiido Nah, dog... that's like saying Budweiser is the best beer ever made. Its drinkable, tastes ok, does the job... and you can swill it ALL DAY LONG without getting completely 'faced... but its not the "best" by a long shot Just sayin'
@@guitemuvanlai4102 Yea but he doesn't play cheap like that. He actually uses a variety and trys to match up what would be a good fight instead of always using the biggest an best to have an edge.

This is what I thought the vid was going to be. Without a set number of 'planes in the hangar' or randomized, it's pretty obvious it's going to end up being a constant 33 vs 22 fight. Why would you purposely put yourself at a disadvantage if you're trying to go for the W. Gotta be random.
Interesting concept! =) Would love to see more of this! I would propose a slight tweak, however - go with pre-determined "decks". Agree on amount of fights, pick out that number of aircraft without telling the other guy your picks and pick a new aircraft each round. I don't disagree with having the Raptor in the mix, but pulling it out multiple times cheapens the whole ordeal, imo.
This channel deserves to be on top of the food chain. I mean seriously even real fighter pilots watch your channel. You also have a fanbase here in Turkey! You are the F-15 of RUclips channels.
Probably going to take years before we the public even found out details from a secretive Russian stealth jet I imagine it’ll be some time before DCS gets wind of these details.
Great video, see lots of potential here. Would be so much fun with teams (2v2/3v3), lots of communication and spontaneous decision making. Pulling from an old trick in game design, adding randomness and scaling up the number of actors is a sure fire way to generate some deliciously fun and interesting scenarios.
Would be nice to restrict choices to no 5th gen, and no using the same choice twice, and make it a best of however many models the side with the fewer options
Loving the MiG 29, there's something rugged and basic about it. I imagine it's like a stripped out pure racing car where you feel the road, where as the other fighters are more like modern sports cars with all the electric driving assists.
The MiG-29 and the F-15 don't have electronic limiters, the MiG-29 only has an electromechanical control assist. When manoeuvring with these in DCS it feels so much more analog and so much fun imo than the more modern aircraft.
A classic example of a pilot concentrating on flying the plane rather than watching the attitude and aspect of the enemy aircraft. Hence his repeated crossing of your nose even when he had the engines and aerodynamics to avoid it (had he been watching). A fine display of superior pilot skill GS.
Fairly new to this channel but i've been watching every day. Drewski sent me! Love this idea. Would like to see it be truly random and maybe once a plane is flown it cant be flown again. Maybe even with with planes of certain eras, like a cold war edition, etc. Just two cents for you. Either way, love the channel, love the content, appreciate the entertainment.
I really love the idea of this, having to pick your gameplan right at the merge... This might be a coincidence, but I also noticed you probably did something to improve the motion smoothness / fps consistency, which is very much appreciated! Keep up the great work man!
Its killable, it comes down to pilot skill. Granted the aircraft makes a dif but it's like the car world, you can have a lambo but that don't mean u win automatically bc you gotta know how to effectively drive it
If you have five planes to pick from and put them in a order so have to decide in advance when your best plane flies for more rock paper scissors selection. Never fly the same plane twice.
Hey man I enjoyed this so much! hahaha that "all alphabet failure" in the Su-27 just killed me haha would love to see more of this in the channel!! Amazing job
Holy cow, I LOVE this idea of random aircraft selection! Maybe next time you can write down a handful of aircraft on a numbered list (maybe 1-5?) and roll a random number generator to decide what aircraft you guys use. Maybe it can work on a tier list as well, number 1 being the lowest preforming aircraft on your list and number 5 being the highest preforming aircraft on your list.
Agree with the other comments on only being able to use the aircraft once. Would also like to see it expanded to a more realistic scenario - head into an AO and begin with a BVR fight, and if you merge, into the dogfight. Should be able to use all weapons available also. Great vid!
Love this type of video! Would like if you kept the same concept but also maybe have a certain mile radius both aircraft have to be in so your not always having to merge maybe some rounds you spot the bandit and show up on the 6 and see how the situation plays out
What I like to see one day is Former F14, F18, etc vets pilot group up with original crewmates and bring the real skills to DCS so we can all see how it is really done in one massive 30-30 dog fight vs Russian pilots. Wonder who would really win?
I can't get enough of watching these birds cut through the air and dance with each other. It truly is amazing the creations we've made and the capabilities we as humans possess to do things like this. On another note though, Its also insane how far we go to kill each other 🤷♂️🤣 Another great vid, thanks for the awesome content!
One of your BEST videos…adds a note of REALISM!! How about some with varying load-outs? That should be awesome!! The only rule should be using aircraft that are currently in service. Be as realistic as possible!
I liked your point about not being able to quit a fight because "it's not fair". I'd love to see you and Silk have rematches where the fights are *truly* random. Like, each of you creates a spreadsheet of the content you own (sorted by broad era, maybe, to avoid F-14 vs P-40), then you use an online RNG to generate two numbers, and neither of you has any idea what's coming - and maybe have to sort out what to do (i.e. what's an appropriate assumption based on what shows up) on the fly! F-5E vs. L-39 Albatross? Fight! F-14 vs. Christen Eagle? Intercept and safely get him to divert to an airfield.
Nice rain storm. Excellent bailout on the first round. 2nd round the F15 messed up the merge. 3rd round was a SU 27 failure. The Fat Lady was singing Battle of Evermore. Haa Haa. 4th round was a gimme. I love this pick a plane concept.
This was fun, maybe set a rule that each plane can only be picked once. When the F-22 can't be the answer to everything, the fights should become more interesting imo.
How you found yourself using the cobra is very interesting. It doesn't seem like it is generally a good idea, but when you are in a losing position and looking for a desperation play it comes out, and gives decent chances even against the F22. That and as an airbrake of last resort.
I think the addition of the view from your opponents perspective is a very cool addition to your videos. Great fight GS. I also like the concept of not knowing what your opponent is style dogfights. Although you would invariably have AWACS telling you what aircraft you are up against, it would still add a degree of versatility that the pilot has to instil.

i like how GS avoided using SU-30, SU-35 and SU-57 very carefully
You could assign numbers to the aircraft then use a random number generator so the picks would really be random, not just preferred aircraft
You should make a rule that forbide you both to take the same aircrsftb2 times
you should make a deal to use only one time every plane in order to avoid double usage of F22, Su35, Su57 and Eurofighter which are 4++ or fifth gen. Nice video
Maybe have generation rounds like one round may be 4th gen aircraft an the next be warbirds. Anyway you get the concept.
Yeah you could maybe do like a deck of 4 aircraft for 3 rounds with 1 use per card.
That's right.
id rather use random number generator and choose the plane at random by percentage in the inventory of the participating country.
that way the chance of getting a Raptor or Felon would be pretty slim and you would get more of Hornet vs Fulcrum or Eagle vs Su-27 matchups with sometimes one side pulling out a Joker from the lottery
exactly, otherwise one could pick just the best dogfighters
I think the rule should be only use once of each aircraft from a pool so they can’t just spam F22 and SU57 lol.
They’d be pretty pissed off if they realized they wasted a F22 pick on a merge with a MIG 21
I think thats a cool idea. Otherwise why pick anything other than F22/Su57 every time.
Sounds interesting, I would love to watch that!

Can't, Russia can't spare any one of them from their fleet of 12 Su-57s

As always... Great fight buddy 👍
F-22 is a nightmare
meanwhile Flanker-D has great power from its AL-31F3
After the merge I figured the F22 would just go vertical and disappear above the clouds, then invisibly await the right moment to ambush.
Which is what he should have done considering who he was fighting. Do not play fair against Growling Sidewinder unless you want to get smoked.
Damn! Growling you came so close to axing a raptor with that mig 29! Lol
The Raptor is so forgiving. Its crazy how it keeps you alive even when mistakes are made.
With people getting dumber, they have to make the machines smarter.
