i told you a match with "less than perfect" aircraft (or realistic kinda old plane handling) make interesting video. the viggen has the power to retain a lot of energy that it lost... it can't sustain it for too long. as soon as speed drop it start to show weakness... but at High altitudine with decent speed at the start is a worthy opponent. viggen vs mig21 or a4 can show more interesting air combat concept. this planes really force to do energy management and not only "knife flight rate fight all the way".
Funnily enough the fighter version of Viggen used the same Central Air Data Computer as the F-14A/B, as well as an automatic digital flight control system developed by SAAB and Honeywell. There was a lot of technology transfer between US and Sweden during the cold war. The fighter version was developed and enhanced right up until it's retirement; acting as a test-bed for many technologies that made it into the JAS-39 Gripen, many of which are still classified so don't get your hopes up for an official JA-37D in DCS anytime soon. In another story: I was working on the JA-37 Viggen when I was 15 years old as part of some 9th grade school work experience thing in 1995. Even got to play with the old Viggen simulator. It was only greyscale and was based on 3 monitors 3 meters above the cockpit. There were some kind of concave mirroring system so the depth perception was amazing. The chair had inflatable bladders and the straps pulled **hard** to simulate G's. My scrawny little teenage body got squished into a meatball, but I managed to shot down a MIG before I got too nauseous and had to hit the "panic" button. I also remember slipping after testing the hydraulics, damaging the barrel of the 30mm cannon (just back from service) about to be reinstalled, and then weren't allowed in the locker room with all the pin-up posters anymore. Bummer! :)

Rest were not at all that hostile against the US. We even got assurances from the US president to be included in the nuclear umbrella when we were on our way to get our own nukes. Thats why we had help building the Viggen program.

@@anthonynielsen3867 Most of the time with good situational awareness you can see the cues he is about to take the shot and then pull hard out of his HUD and the "rounds" will fall short. 😁
i really wish they would ad the actual Fighter version of the Viggen, the J37, it carried aim9L's and sparrows and an internal 30mm gun with 150 rounds
It was basically the AJ version of the viggen with the corresponding changes to make it a better dogfighter and interceptor, so despite being the Air-to-Air version the JA37 actually still had the capabilities of the older viggen models such as the capability to carry ASM, Bomb racks, etc etc
The AJS 37 suffer from AoA limitations due to the RM8A. The JA 37 with its RM8B was quite a bit better in this regard. The JA 37 also had a better FCS and a much superior HUD. The integrated 30mm Orleikon gun was excellent. The PS46 radar and the FCS could work in conjuntion to aim the gun and kill a target several kilometers away.
The SA (Siktes Automat) Automatic aiming that the JA 37 got in 1992 for the KCA Oerlikon would be interesting to see in DCS. It eliminated 90% of the error in 1 second and would also fire the gun when it had the best chance to hit, making it useful up to 2km. The pilot only needed to roll the plane, the auto aim took care of the rest. This is probably why the ammo had no tracers.
IRL Viggen pilots managed to intercept and get a lock on the SR-71. Not many aircraft can boast of that. Also Viggens escorted an SR-71 with an engine blowout through the Baltic sea. It would be interesting to see a JA 37 Viggen which was the air superiority variant.
IRL viggen pilots also knew that the SR 71 would be flying in a narrow corridor in international airspace, near Sweden ie: on a known vector and time frame, on a '71 that was NOT in a high threat environment. (It wasn't being evasive - and was not really laying into those J58s as hard as it could've been.) So while yes, that feat was impressive - its not quite the same as doing a cold simulated intercept vs an SR71 that dosen't want to be intercepted. And yeah... the Viggen will always have a warm "little friends" spot in the USAF's heart for the escort job they pulled for that crippled blackbird incident. The 4 swedish pilots involved were awarded the USAF air medal for bravery many years later.
@@stinkyfungus All false! The SR-71 and Viggen's were tracked at a closing speed of Mach 5 so the J58 were pushing to maximum speed. Also, the SR-71 pilots tried in vain to avoid the Viggens but failed, they used electronic counter measures against the Viggens but the Swedish pilots learnt how to avoid them. And the SR-71's WERE operating in a high threat environment, it was the height of the cold war. Remember the SR-71 was a spy plane....
@@EndTimeDreams Uh, no your statement is completely false. The top speeds of neither of these planes was anywhere near Mach 5. Viggens couldn't possibly hope to catch up to an SR-71, the most they could do was climb at a specific point along the blackbirds known programmed flight path and catch a brief radar lock and some handheld photos before they lost sight of it. The data link capabilities of the Viggen at the time were what was most impressive about the intercepts. The only time Viggens caught up and flew with a blackbird was when one of its engines blew up and they did a friendly escort for it.
@@ltcuddles685 mate, closing speed means the rate at which they were closing in on eachother, the viggen from infront of the sr71, presumably the 71 going a bit over mach3 and the viggen a bit under mach 2
Everything I read about the Viggen was that it was built to gain altitude fast, use its powerful radar to lock on a target, shoot then scoot. It wasn't built as a close combat dogfighter.
This is the AJ-37 strike fighter variant it isn't designed with air to air in mind per se. "Several distinct variants of the Viggen were produced to perform the roles of strike fighter (AJ 37), aerial reconnaissance (SF 37), maritime patrol aircraft (SH 37) and a two-seat trainer (SK 37). In the late 1970s, the all-weather fighter-interceptor aircraft JA 37 variant was introduced."
You can make great content out of anything! Thanks for showing us a bit of what the Viggen can (and can not) do. I also really appreciated seeing a bit of the Tacview again, although I kinda wish you included the spin rate of that viggen you shot down (and yes, I know you would have a good reason for not showing it, since you always show the interesting bits); I can just imagine, it must have been like a negative G centrifuge in that thing! With your eyes redding out, feeling your blood vessels get streched to the max, then bursting and oozing, damn, what a way to go...
Underrated comment. Next time, please sit in the front gear well and push that weight on wheel button so GS can do that "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by" sh!t with the reverser :D
Should be the JA-37... I want to see that famous Orlikon KCA in action!... Supposedly has more kinetic energy than the the A-10s GAU and as much destructive energy as a sidewinder?!
Yo GS, Svend banging on your plane had me cracking. Really digging the aircraft swaps to give both points of views. Keep it up. Have a pleasant day. Cheers
You almost had him twice in the Viggen but he was just a tad too slippery lol You pulled some nice jinks as well though. What I'm saying is I really like the way you, Sugma, deke! hahaha :P
@@naveednawwaf War Thunder is not a simulator though so it doesnt matter much whether it is F14 or an alien spacecraft, it will be fantasy regardless to be fair.
@@mitchconner403 yea just yesterday I was launching a AIM-7E-2 in my F-4E at an enemy J-37C (that was 6km away) at around 632 knots at about 7° AoA and I could you not... the sparrow some how lost all momentum and cut my own tail off like wtf?
If you try to stay below 24 AOA (depending on alt) your engine won't commit suicide. If it dies, go idle throttle, then move it back up and it will reignite. But you're doing a pretty good job.
In a compressor stall the compressor portion of the engine is pushing more air into the engine then it can handle. Modern jet engines have a device called a bleed valve that open to allow the excess air to be dumped overboard. The only option to stop the compressor stall is to reduce engine power. In the real world a continuous compressor stall will damage the engine i.e. bend the compressor blades or the stator blades.
The Viggen got radar locks on the SR-71 multiple times during the cold war. On pilot Per-Olof Eldh got 5 simulated kills on the SR-71, he even achieved visual contact a few times. The SR-71 intercepts would happen weekly. The Swedish radar operators also witnessed MIG-25 Foxbat's flying out of East Germany achieve intercepts from behind the SR-71 as it would leave the Baltic.
Ah... once again, Growling Sidewinder provides immortal and classic quotes! The latest! 1:54 "NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE! NOT THE F-!" *SPLAT AS HEAD EXPLODES*
Man i wish there was footage from the Viggen's cockpit as it spun itself to shreds in round 3.. we just need it! Also, "Not the face, not the face, not the fa-"
The finally tally was Viggen 2, Tomcat 1. So the Viggen was actually more than a 'bit' successful, it won best 2 out of 3. Speaking of Saab, I'd love to see the Draken in this game. Talk about a revolutionary, ahead of its time design, th Draken was definitely that.
Depends on what Viggen you take. The AJ or JA ;) The AJ was made primarily for ground attack and hunting planes secondarily. The JA was oposite, Air-targets first, ground secondly :) they also have small diffrences and one is actually longer than the other one!
Can we get an instant replay of the Viggen getting hit by your gun and spinning out of control until it breaks apart? Was hoping to see that again close up, rather than only from a distance through your F-14's canopy. I've never seen an aircraft in DCS roll that fast before, controlled or uncontrolled.
In 1980's airplane books, writers would say that the Viggen had turn on a par with the F-16. I guess that's only true for like 2 turns, max! EDIT: Considering it's a 60's design, it's pretty impressive that it can turn with an F-14 for a couple of turns.
I think the Viggen might have been quite a real world killer back in the day because not only did it have pretty good to great performance compared to its contemporaries but it had an apparently a legitimately good datalink all the way back in the mid 80's, roughly 10 years ahead of pretty much anyone else. Ground radars sent data to Viggens and it's on board computer could self calculate intercept paths and it could also link its radar info to 4 other fighters. I think this is one of the main reasons it has the only U.S. verified successful SR-71 intercepts. If you were fighting over Sweden I think there is a very strong argument that the air intercept version of the Viggen was the best fighter in the world for a time.
That Round 2 just got my Swedish Viking horns growing out! then again Viking horns are a myth...But so is this matchup!! Nice fight PS. Never underestimate an angry Sven
well, respectfully, if you don't understand what you're seeing it can look like they're going around in circles. But if you understand 1 circle, 2 circle, winning and losing cues, high and low aspect shots, turn reversals...it's a lot more interesting and doesn't look like just going around in circles anymore.
The main differences for this kind of fight are going to be the internal gun (so no need to carry heavy and draggy external gun pods) and the much improved intakes, so much less compressor stalling in high AoO, low speed flight.

Question: what is a compressor stall? how does it happen? And how to prevent it?
In a compressor stall the compressor portion of the engine is pushing more air into the engine then it can handle. Modern jet engines have a device called a bleed valve that open to allow the excess air to be dumped overboard. The only option to stop the compressor stall is to reduce engine power. In the real world a continuous compressor stall will damage the engine i.e. bend the compressor blades or the stator blades.
Thats an absolutely moment.
this really aligns with my warthunder experience, the viggen will fuck you up in the first turn but after that it's food.
Another one for "Moments of Death" lol The compressor stalls are a nice touch.

Is that a new editing style? I like it! Or maybe I'm just imagining things...
"WHERE MOSQUITO!" I asked calmly
Can we get an instant replay of the Viggen getting hit by your gun and spinning out of control until it breaks apart? Was hoping to see that again close up, rather than only from a distance through your F-14's canopy. I've never seen an aircraft in DCS roll that fast before, controlled or uncontrolled.
In 1980's airplane books, writers would say that the Viggen had turn on a par with the F-16. I guess that's only true for like 2 turns, max! EDIT: Considering it's a 60's design, it's pretty impressive that it can turn with an F-14 for a couple of turns.
Worth noting this is the ground attack variant and has gunpods, but yeah, more of a F-4, MiG-23 equivalent.
It showed that the Delta/Canard layout had promise.
@@miquelescribanoivars5049 I'd bet a small amount that the air superiority Viggen could spank the Mig-23 and the F-4 in a dogfight!
I think the Viggen might have been quite a real world killer back in the day because not only did it have pretty good to great performance compared to its contemporaries but it had an apparently a legitimately good datalink all the way back in the mid 80's, roughly 10 years ahead of pretty much anyone else. Ground radars sent data to Viggens and it's on board computer could self calculate intercept paths and it could also link its radar info to 4 other fighters. I think this is one of the main reasons it has the only U.S. verified successful SR-71 intercepts. If you were fighting over Sweden I think there is a very strong argument that the air intercept version of the Viggen was the best fighter in the world for a time.
That Round 2 just got my Swedish Viking horns growing out! then again Viking horns are a myth...But so is this matchup!!
Nice fight
PS. Never underestimate an angry Sven

It's almost as if he heard you and shot the face anyways...🤣🤣
This is why I don’t do flight sims. They just fly around in circles,always.
well, respectfully, if you don't understand what you're seeing it can look like they're going around in circles. But if you understand 1 circle, 2 circle, winning and losing cues, high and low aspect shots, turn reversals...it's a lot more interesting and doesn't look like just going around in circles anymore.
I dunno. Something about GS nonchalantly blowing off the engine coughing its lungs out reminds me of that
"This is fine." meme
"Not the face! Not the face! Not the fac...."🤣🤣
imagine how the fighter varient would perform with its higher service ceiling. thatd be a fun battle to watch
The main differences for this kind of fight are going to be the internal gun (so no need to carry heavy and draggy external gun pods) and the much improved intakes, so much less compressor stalling in high AoO, low speed flight.
Also, when's the next kill compilation coming? Loved those two vids!
I knew you would come around one day to the Viggen #ViggangForLife
hey sidewinder ive gotta give you a hug
Yesss, now Viggen vs Mig
A Panavia Tornado F3 would be interesting, obviously be a fox 3 or 2 situation as it was most definitely not a digfigter! Or maybe an EEL?
After “Good Jeff! (My name is Jeff 🐵)”, “Thrust Vectoring Bullshit” and “Harrier Garbage”, presenting to you, the Swedish guy that sits in the engine bay of a Vigen, trying to push start the stalled engine by kicking the turbine 🧑🔧🩴🩴🩴
If you compresor stall the viggen, kill the throttle for 1 sec and put it to max after that. Should fix the stall most of the time!
Nice wet sound effect on the first shoot-down
I have seen that viggen reach mach 2.0 at 45k feet, so it definitely has some hiding power lol
Good thing Sven got that engine going again in the second round.
“Not the face, not the face!”
Piss on you: I’m with Mel Brooks!
Those were the gun pods.. hahahahahaahaha
Oboy i havent seen any other climbe with the Tomcat like that. And finaly the Viggen. 👍
Hey, GS, what's the squadron-skin that Tomcat was wearing in the round 3 of this fight?
Yap! I am hooked on this feeling!
where to download DCS full version??? and how to play??? please advise . . .
Lmfao in round 3 the viggen turned into a beybalde 😂😂
Sweden cant compete with a superpower but we have made some pretty cool airplanes.
If that plane has compressor stalls what is it good for
