what would be a cool video of me seeing you escorting bombers (any American bombers would be fine) during WW2, either you playing as a P-51 or a P-47, or you playing as the Germans. (and yes, I've been watching masters of the air.)
New here and loving it! I haven't seen much so you may have touched on this. Are there any aircraft in your opinion. That they discontinued but shouldn't have?
Please GS, don't ever change your outro. The combination of that hype song + freaking fighter jets doing aerobatic shit, fading into your logo is absolutely top notch.
"Strapped up for air-to-air" Love the slang! Interesting to here how you lose datalink ID! You scared me when you said, "I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead". Thanks for that F15!
""Strapped up for air-to-air" Love the slang!" Me too! I learned a new one today - 13:05 "I'm pretty sure an F-15 came in there...and just schwacked that MiG-29 off my tail." 😆
@@GrowlingSidewinder The way you had to change into close range to tell who you were shooting at was interesting. The other jets seem to be getting closer for fights, too.
@@kasper_429 some variants of the F-15 have some multi-role capability, yes. But the F-15 is far more heavily designed to be a dedicated Air Superiority Fighter, not a multi-role fighter.
@@kasper_429 the production variant of the F-16 is a multi-role platform. The same can't be said for the F-15. The F-15E can be a good air to ground and CAS platform but it's air to air capabilities suffer as a result.
I really like seeing these larger scale missions with a lot of friendlies. It feels more legit. A four ship here, a four ship there, GS doing his Wildman thing over there...
The F-15E/ or the new F-15EX is the most versatile of any combat fighter in my opinion. Most true for the latter because of electronic warfare capability. The Eagle platform has the highest payload, and the high pylon count and range makes it efficient in larger missions. It is very good at everything apart from stealth. But there is reason to believe that stealth is less important because of how good radar technology is becoming, rendering stealth aeroplanes less useful in normal warfare as of now. This is due to change and will probably be fluctuating back and forth forever almost infinitely until stealth is limited by material technology.
I would love more POV of the warhead if you can! Following the whole flight of a missile from wing to target is so great. Bonus points for the red arrows on the target when we can't see due to RUclips compression! Love the content, GS.
All Time favorite aircraft ! HotRod of the Air. You do more multi-role in the Viper than in any other. Like that gun run on 2 SA sites. That was sweet !
That was an insanely cool video man. Not often do I hear you stressed about being shot down lol. You usually say you are ok, then die 😂 go the TGP. Absolutely love these mission videos man. Love em.
@ GrowlingSidewinder: @ vid 12:32 you are ONE LUCKY BASTAGE. i been watching your vids for a long while, u r an xelent virtual pilot. out of all the vids i watch, you are in the top (2) of my list. please keep makin these tight vids!
The F-16, despite its age, is the GOAT of jet fighters. Others have longer legs, heavier payloads, fancier data links. Yet, no other single or dual engine aircraft exceeds in form and function, the Viper. Thank you, Col Boyd, and your acolytes...the fighter mafia.
Considering we have an early 2000s F-16 in DCS, and the F-16 is still owning the battlefield to this day. I would assume it's a safe bet to say it's combat effective
Makes me wonder if the F14 would have been a good full-on multi role jet… it could do air superiority, interceptor, ground attack… what if it had the ability to do SEAD?
In the context of DCS modules, the king of multi role is still the F/A-18; the only advantage that the f-16 has over the Hornet is speed, in every other aspect the F/A-18 surpasses the F-16. I found this video kind of passionate...
Buying my first (and so far only) jet module in DCS was such a difficult decision between the Hornet and Viper. I chose the Hornet and, while I'm certainly not disappointed, sometimes I kinda ache for the Viper... I know, I know... "just the get the Viper as well". Yeah, but... I only have room in my brain to learn one extremely complex multi-role fighter. Lol.
Could of did a IFF scan using TMS left short to get a IFF scan of ur whole radar, if they were friendly they would pop up green circles and if not nothing would come back. Could also do TMS left Long but that's line of sight mode!
Hey, I think it'd be cool if you'd put small notes in like the bottom of the screen to give a brief description of keywords, i.e Fox 1, 2, 3, Magnum, etc. for people who may not know what it is. I know you have a video going over this, but I think it'd be neat or somethin idk
For some reason I can never call the f-16 a viper, to me it's always been the fighting falcon. Maybe because I'm not american and wasn't called that way abroad when it came out? However to me it's one of the most beautiful aircrafts ever concived, along with the SR-71, the X-1 and the Me 262, love that chonky shark shape.
GS in this video: “we’re gonna bring the tank back here today, that isn’t mine to drop” In every other video: “k let’s drop tanks over the city here, pray that don’t hit a civilian” actual return to sender

You get a free refill with every 10 drop tank returned.
That’s a good challenge!😂
Have the crew chief punch your card.
I do it for the frequent flyer miles
GS: "IM GONNA DIE"
F-15: "shhhhhh. I gotcbu bb gurl"
The "looks like we're fine *boom*" rule works in reverse, too! "Oooh I'm gonna die I'm gonna die... *survives*"
They didn't fire Fox-2s. His panic has an IR signature, his (over)confidence has a radar signature. XD
That's funny, spot on, too. hahaha
I held my breath because I was preparing myself for the infamous black screen with “killed in action” on it but damn if he didn’t pull it off!!!
So true! LOL
Looks like someone owes an Eagle pilot a case of beer.
As an American Tax payer, I am quite thankful for your saving of the droptank. Much appreciated!
You owe that Eagle driver a beer.
Driver 💀
Pilot*
"Eagle Driver" is correct lingo. Ask one.
Zamboni driver* thats what F-16 guys call them. Because the Eagles are always the ones clearing the field for the others🤣
Former Eagle Driver here, absolutely correct !
Please GS, don't ever change your outro. The combination of that hype song + freaking fighter jets doing aerobatic shit, fading into your logo is absolutely top notch.
“I stay out of the MAR...”
also GS with the R-37: “…and im treating it like an AMRAAM so i should be sa…”*boom*😂
Lord of the Rings moment, Eagles coming to save you at the last minute.
F15 Pilot to GS - "I gotcha back homie."
F15: “This is your savior speaking…”
Adding the missions to the description is awesome. Hope you continue doing it, i love playing these.
whenever possible I will certainly do it.
@@GrowlingSidewinder Of course, love the videos man
@@GrowlingSidewinder Just want to say I also really appreciate it!
The F-15 doing F-15 things saving the day
My understanding of the F16 is that it lives at the limits of physics, given the material science of the time. That's a hard limit.
"Strapped up for air-to-air" Love the slang! Interesting to here how you lose datalink ID! You scared me when you said, "I'm dead I'm dead I'm dead". Thanks for that F15!
I’m not sure what happened with the datalink but I think it was more of an awacs issue then a me issue. But I’d be open to hear what other people say.
""Strapped up for air-to-air" Love the slang!" Me too! I learned a new one today -
13:05 "I'm pretty sure an F-15 came in there...and just schwacked that MiG-29 off my tail."
😆
@@GrowlingSidewinder The way you had to change into close range to tell who you were shooting at was interesting. The other jets seem to be getting closer for fights, too.
Question: isn't the IFF button there for these situations?
F-16, F-18, Eurofighter, F-35.... There are a lot of insanely good multi-role fighters.
F-15, too.
@@kasper_429 some variants of the F-15 have some multi-role capability, yes. But the F-15 is far more heavily designed to be a dedicated Air Superiority Fighter, not a multi-role fighter.
@@LDSG_A_Team Yeah true, just like the 16 was designed for primarily air-to-air/dogfighting, and then adapted into being a multi-role fighter.
@@kasper_429 the production variant of the F-16 is a multi-role platform. The same can't be said for the F-15. The F-15E can be a good air to ground and CAS platform but it's air to air capabilities suffer as a result.
@@traviswalker8933the F-15EX though, I've heard (surprisingly) that it is an absolute demon in a dogfight
I really like seeing these larger scale missions with a lot of friendlies. It feels more legit. A four ship here, a four ship there, GS doing his Wildman thing over there...
It's extremely impressive how you memorize all these aircraft. good work dude!
Once you learn one with similar style systems, others become easier to learn.
@@DoradoFever that's true, but i still find it impressive.

Bonus points for the red arrows on the target when we can't see due to RUclips compression! Love the content, GS.
Your posts are the only reliably awesome part of my day!
Props to GS for sharing the missions on the latest few videos. It's awesome to be able to play the same scenarios and try different approaches
All Time favorite aircraft ! HotRod of the Air. You do more multi-role in the Viper than in any other. Like that gun run on 2 SA sites. That was sweet !
F15 be like: I got you lawndart bro.
I am digging the F-16C videos.
Considering the f16 is an older aircraft, it can still perform very well and in some cases better than others
Dig the livery on that Viper, very cool.
Used to work on this exact aggressor in AK for three years. Looks great in this
harikasın kardeşim.. Türkiye'den sevgilerle..
That was an insanely cool video man. Not often do I hear you stressed about being shot down lol. You usually say you are ok, then die 😂 go the TGP.
Absolutely love these mission videos man. Love em.
The F-16 has always been one of my favorites, also that camouflage on your Viper looks amazing
You owe the F15 pilot a beer
12:45 Missle truck to the rescue!
Great mission. I ❤the F-16.
This pilot F-15 Eagle is a big hero and Deserve Medal 🎖 🇺🇸🫡
Good show off of the F-16 Multiple capabilities all in one mission! Thank You! Excellent mission and Flying!
Can’t wait until the F-4E module comes out so we can see F-4 Vietnam missions
Jane’s us navy fighters was great for that

You owe that F15 pilot a beer.. the Lords shepherd, making sure his flock is protected ..lol
The F-15 saving GS was kinda like the ending of Top Gun Maverick
The Fighting Falcon always was/will be one of my favorite fighters. Light, agile, jack of all trades.
The F-16, despite its age, is the GOAT of jet fighters. Others have longer legs, heavier payloads, fancier data links. Yet, no other single or dual engine aircraft exceeds in form and function, the Viper. Thank you, Col Boyd, and your acolytes...the fighter mafia.
Nothing but love for the Viper. Still badass.
I've been slacking off my comments for the algorithm. entertaining as always brother. thanks!
I always love seeing my old unit in your videos! Eielson AFB ftw!!!
That was a successful mission and a pretty close one as well.
Love the badass paint on that bird.
I see GS has finally figured it out. Just say you're gonna die enough and you won't.
if we're talking about single engine multi role I think the Jeff is up there, especially with its naval strike package. The 16C is great too.
F-15: Picking on Vipers? That's a paddlin'.
I absolutely cherish your content! Thank you! It was insanely entertaining to watch! Thank you!
Considering we have an early 2000s F-16 in DCS, and the F-16 is still owning the battlefield to this day. I would assume it's a safe bet to say it's combat effective
Provided you don't pit up against double-digit SAMs and 5th gen fighters.
LOVE the skins! Nice work. F-15's Rock it also.
That was epically funny....good video GS
Perfect and with a Metal outro ImI
Day 5 of asking YF23 interdiction/infiltration mission. Hell I ain’t picky, more YF23 content in general would be great
The splash damage modeling has really improved.
Makes me wonder if the F14 would have been a good full-on multi role jet… it could do air superiority, interceptor, ground attack… what if it had the ability to do SEAD?
I love the ground attack Videos so much!!
Very awesome! Damn F-16 Fighting Falcon is a beast! Maybe it's 49 years old, but who cares!
Missed opportunity to nail that Tunguska with the external fueltank.
It would be great to see a complete set of tutorials for the F16, like those available for the Mirage 2000C
Awesome video, keep it up! If it were me, I would make this the channel trailer! Love the A2G content.
Thanks Eagle.
Love it my dude! Couple of great vids recently - may be even consider a mini movie? And also overdue Two Morons update :-)
Love the smell of JDAM in the morning!

would love to see some more 15E multirole missions!

That outtro music is fire.
F-15 came in clutch for saving u
Still need to see mission success in that F16 Scramble, GS!
While people fighting for their dear lives I was looking to the mountains far away; man we gotta go snowboarding
and GS lives to fight another day!
Isn't that typical: When you are convinced you will get hit any second by a missile, It does NOT happen!!
That scenario also pointed out just how important IFF is. Not being able to identify that MiG for so long almost cost him his life.
An excellent point.
DAM! That closing scene. Muscle flex of american whopASS. beautiful
Hi GS! Just a friendly message to check the grammar of the video title
Thank you, appreciate you.
I would love to see you do some missions like this but with the Gripen, don''t see those very often!
The F-16 Viper & JAS-39 Gripen are absolute Multirole Kings.
The F16 is one of the greatest fighter jets ever. It can and has done everything for over 40 years. Long may it reign.
You can almost feel how cold this day is.
The f-16 is a jack of all trades, master of all.
❤ your videos man the highlight of my day
GS in this video: “we’re gonna bring the tank back here today, that isn’t mine to drop”
In every other video: “k let’s drop tanks over the city here, pray that don’t hit a civilian”

I think the Hornet takes the title.
Should run the same mission in the Strike Eagle and compare!
the block 72 will a major boost to a legendery aircraft.
You owe that F15 pilot a beer.
I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16 I LOVE THE F16
... So, what's your favorite plane? Asking for a friend.
@@TheGoddamnBacon idk man first time someone asked that question I have to think about it but it might be the f16
2:05, shrugged and thought "I guess" as u said it lmao
You might receive a DSC for hanging onto the tank!
Look at you. Spitting all that love. :-)
The F16 is great, but I think the F35 is the best multirole fighter built to date
Sad to see so many units sunsetting the F16s
You pickled the fudge out of their britches
Fantastic job!
