This is the first time you really demonstrated offseting the circles to escape a losing rate fight. I know you have been really successful watching for them to pull lead, tightening down, and reversing, but as you have described it, you are relying on the opponent to be impatient or doing a poor job of managing the closure. Perhaps if you work on this offset technique you would not be as reliant on an opponent mistake. Or is this even easier for the opponent to counter if they see it and understand what you are doing? Perhaps you could display it in Tacview and explain your cues, goals, and actions.
Just saying the quality of the content has rose up immensely lately, and it's always been high. From when u were doing dogfights to teach the main ideas of those fights, to BVR fights, consisting of pure skill, to now, doing more creative stuff. I love it, keep it up man!
One of the most attractive things about GS's channel ethos is he often ends with he himself getting rekt by another pilot. The temptation to always appear as the winning Top Gun must be enormous and I applaud him for it.
Hahah I’ve never set out to make people think I’m the best, very average, lots of guys better than me out there, I’m just here to have fun and make a few videos along the way. No shame in showing a loss.
@@GrowlingSidewinder The shame (if they feel any) is entirely attached to someone who refuses to acknowledge a loss or the talent of an adversary.

I'd love to see a video of you taking on an f22 or su57 or some other sort of "good/new" plane with you and a buddy in a 2v1. Maybe you and longshot in Hornets vs an f22? I don't really know much about how a 2v1 would go in close quarters. Even if it would be unfair, I'd still like to see it. Just an idea 🤷♂️ Thanks for the videos! Can tell you're working hard. Just sort of going in that same vein of "a fight isn't always fair and you don't always know what you'll merge with" from a couple videos ago.
Love these videos it’s so hard to know what the hell is going on from films and stuff. Gives a real insight into what combat pilots actually have to do and think about. Well done. 👍🏻🤟
This US Army Rotary Wing Aviator to the computer game simulator pilot... You always crack me up! Thank you so much for the hard work making these videos!
Beautiful and enthralling this fight. Didn't know Mig-29 vs F-14 had such potential. Once again I like to mention, always love when u explain tactics with diagrams and stuff.
The Tomcat is such a bad ass plane. Grandpa kicking the whipper snappers into place at 50. Imagine if a modern day 'Super Tomcat' was built,with today's technology. It would be LETHAL.
5:23 Look at him go, What a majestic plane I'm glad Shah decided to go with F-14 instead of F-15 in the 70s. Tnx for trying F-14 and other Iranian version planes once in a while.
Damn, in that first round the Cat was "polishing the cannonball" with his delayed gunfire. I reckon he had you cold at least twice before the actual kill.
@@pogo1140 True, but as a fan of deflection shooting I feel it is an underated art these days.The high deflection attack is easy to miss coming at you because it's not encountered so often.Yes, it is alow percentage shot when done badly but when done right it's like a fist you don't see coming. I love watching an enemy fly into a well aimed deflection stream...it's a thing of beauty :)
I saw the seismic charges scene of star wars attack of the clones last night and saw that part where Obi wan lost visual on Jengo Fett and Jengo got on Obi wan's six and started pouring blaster fire into him. I saw Obi-wan start reversing the turns and my mind automatically inserted GS' voice "taking him into the one circle.... Into the rolling scissors"
The 29s used to be giving our 18d boys some hard time until they are retired from the service. What I heard is that the two Sqn literally don't talk to each other. Now it's 30-MKM that's enjoying the limelight.
Your absolutely correct this is interesting not only as a matchup also bc They are Both Iranian as you mentioned. India is another example of a Nation that has Both Russian and American Aircraft*. Another great Vid! Keep up the kick ass work!👍👍
@@Anarchy_420 oh no they finalised on the rafale and have started to take deliveries too i think and for the medium wieght fighter were going with an indigenous design with the AMCA project so no viper for us (i think thats mainly cuz PAF has vipers and in a merge it would get confusing real fast whos who to prevent frendly fire)
@@FookFish I kinda understand what you're saying about how The PAF has The F-16 lol but I don't think it would be an issue as I'm sure they'd be able to tell the difference, especially since The F-21 was going to be easily one of the most advanced variants of it's kind (based on F-16 of course) but it was going to be so much more... big shame in my opinion
10:09 Wow that Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 really doesn’t mess around. The quote "it is reported to be extremely accurate as well as powerful" may be very true after all.
LOVE YOUR SHOW. I was thinking about all this work it must take to produce your show, and the amazing amount of information that you juggle to win the day.
It would be cool to see something like a community fight night where you fight with viewers or they fight with each other and you break down the fight. Idk just something I'd be interested in seeing
I request more "two idiots" Watching you two knuckleheads playing off each other pleases me. The 1v1 tactical vids are action... but sometimes, just sometimes - comedy is what i crave.
The first Mig-29 was shot down by an Iranian F14 using an AIM-23 missile which is a MIM-23 Hawk missile modified to be used instead of the AIM-54 since the Iranians were low on Phoenixes late war.
F-14 thrust vectoring upgraded engines to top performance and electrical platforms for 5th gen fighters…… we have a basic idea what the lead angel of god Gabriel looks like
4:39 Mig 29: *screams like a girl* Mister tomcat Have mercy have mercy im sorry!! Wahhhh!! Tomchad: **NO** *Kills the russian Girl* Mig 29: Cyka Blyat о, мамочка! AHHHH!!!!
The cat is just a fantastic plane. It is a supersonic bomber sized stuff and still capable of win dogfight against the best interceptors of the era. And we have no D variant which is even more deadly just for sure. Super Tomcat for the people Heatblur, pleeeeease.

This is that less careful people want to see in War Thunder LOL I just can not imagine how these jets will be ''Gaijinized''.
I watched a video yesterday about a planned tomcat that got dropped. Didn't know if you could do one for the DCS. It was stealth, thrust vectoring the works. Still had the f14 look. Pretty cool if you never heard about it.
I would like an explanation of why a larger aircraft like the tomcat can outrate a fulcrum. Thrust to weight is better in the fulcrum as well max g-load, wing loading is lower in the tomcat maybe?
The more Tomcat videos I see, the more I ask myself, if during the Cold War the Americans and the Russians had actually any idea of how good this plane was compared to their counterparts. I always thought the Mig-29 to be a much more problematic opponent to the Cat (performance wise, not weapon and system wise). Topgun Movie and all the shit aside, in the public view the Cat always seemed to be a bit like an underdog compared to the F-15, F-16 and F-18.

Rule no.1 : The enemy is supposed to be in FRONT not in the REAR
He bleed speed in first Circle, he cant fly for shit
@@SparkySlow bro shut the hell up every fight is different they have to jam the WEZ bc they have fox 2s. You know nothing
Kudos to the Tomcat pilot. Very well flown. Keeping to its strength and not pushing its luck.
GS is pumping awesome videos everyday. So many variations to witness, great!
Glad you're flying the fulcrum so often

Yes, please and thank you.
SR71 is slower than me when I get the GS video notification
"He's supposed to be out front, not behind.." .. That IS kind of the idea 😆
Loving the low merge fights, really shakes things up!
Yeah, they get dynamic really quickly.

Love all the MiG-29 content, what an underappreciated plane
It really is. I absolutely adore the Fulcrum
"or the RATE fight" I love how GS still does that haha
Your killing it with these MiG-29 vids! Keep them coming!
Two of the best looking aircraft ever IMO. Along with the F4
The Su-37 is still better looking, and the rest of the Flanker family.
I'd love to see a video of you taking on an f22 or su57 or some other sort of "good/new" plane with you and a buddy in a 2v1. Maybe you and longshot in Hornets vs an f22?

@@Future-Preps35 I wonder if it was BVR? I was thinking more like in the merge. Still neat to hear! Very cool!
Fantastic video! The fights between the older jets, somehow are more impressive.
Keep up the great work GS!
the second round was amazing, dodging the fox 2 was so cool and then winning from there is like a scene from a movie. good games
The 2nd round, that may have been one of the most exciting yet. I loved watching different tactics being used.
Never did I ever think I would hear about Venn Diagrams in the context of dogfighting XD
Nice
Thanks for the info.
If I ever get in a dogfight with my old Piper Vegabond I will have a few tricks up my sleeve.
When you are about to do a desperate jink, an appropriate thing to say is, "I'll try spinning--that's a good trick!"
Love these videos it’s so hard to know what the hell is going on from films and stuff. Gives a real insight into what combat pilots actually have to do and think about. Well done. 👍🏻🤟
Damn that tomcat can really perform in the rate fight that was a slick roll over but he came around the 2 circle quick
Nice video dude, in my opinion, you are one of the best dcs content creators, love from Brazil
Thank you brother I really appreciate that
Brazilian Warthunder players also watch you
After almost 50 yrs still a dangerous adversary
"No worries" he said with both engines burning.

That second fight was amazing! Would have been a great tacview, beautiful to watch.
Awesomely creative move when you went into the mountains - kudos!
Both the Tomcat and the Fulcrum are very capable aircrafts, in a 1 vs 1 situation, the pilot's skill would be the deciding factor.
true i think GS is better in USA planes than in Russians
@@matej1016 I feel like the russian aircrafts are a bit underpowered compared to the U.S ones in DCS.
@@badasstasticusbadass4908 I agree, I also think the mig 29 under preforms in a 1 circle, or may not be correctly modeled.
Second match was great, adapted really quickly as everything developed.
Round 2 was soo sick man! That was awesome to watch!

This was very fun to watch, loving your content! I always love seeing a Tomcat in the thumbnail.
“Left engine fire! Ok. We’re ok….”😂😂
Intense match-up! I could really feel the pf moments especially for this one.
Two of the prettiest airplanes ever made destroying each other. Such a shame.

the F-14 has been dominating in your vids
Amazing. Amazing fight dude. GS is such a difficult opponent even as underdog.
It is an outstanding plan that will survive contact with realty.
GS never disappoints in either case.
Amazing content, but don’t get burned out GS!
Good Tomcat pilot in this video. Not sure I could have kept a Tomcat in the air during those rolling scissors.
As it should be ... Tomcat victory. Keep doing them Tomcats vids - love 'em
Slammer would be proud on the tomcat driver.
Ive never seen someone love a plane as much as you love the mig-29... But I love it
Amazing video again. Quite surprised the Mig-29 isn't a lot better. Always thought the 29 would be a lot better then the Tomcat in a dogfight.
In reality, it is :)
2nd round is the best fight in my opinion, the use of terrain for tactical advantage.
GS you should do a video showing what your top favorite planes to fly are
he already made a video like this

So essentially the U.S need to put a glass cockpit in the tomcat and get it back into service
