Check out the Store: www.longshotstore.com/ Join the Discord channel: discord.gg/drNE6bT Hey guys! In this DCS World Simulator video I'm in the FA18 Hornet flying against TRON in the SU33 Flanker in a BVR fight (Thanks for the help buddy), Hope you guys enjoy!
Really enjoyed that one, including the explanation of the mistakes on both sides. Not only did it feel more realistic to not be playing with mountains, but the mistakes on both sides (and you capitalizing on them) felt more realistic. Well done!
I think this video really illustrates the importance of proficiency. If you don't FULLY understand your aircraft's capabilities and weapon employment options, then you'll look a lot like Longshot or his adversary today in that they don't main either of their respective aircraft. As a fan of the channel the fight was fun to watch but as a hornet main.. let's just say that flanker would have died a lot sooner into the video haha. Definitely recommend maining one airframe and constantly exploring it's abilities if you want to play competitive in this game.
I really appreciate this kind of content, where you're explaining, what you're thinking, and how your plans are changing on the go and why. I have recently gotten into DCS and the F18 and I've really been struggling with surviving missile fights
That was an awesome fight! A BVR fight with zero cover and they still merged! Great fight by both pilots. Excellent job staying present and taking advantage of an opportunity, Longshot (and figuring out what that splash was and what it meant)! Sidenote; I love the way that SU 33 looks with the canards and camo.
LongShot that was AWESOME ! SweeeeeT , Jam Up Job :) Really good job in the Hornet & also just love the Transonic sound's of the F-18c. Explaining your Intentions & Rapping it up with an Awesome Finish was Just Great. I thought for sure that you had him on Gun's but just a little late. Also, lately I've Noticed that bogeys on Intercept is either not showing up at all on a 2b-140 Deg. @80Nm. Through Awax seems to be my only option, sometimes. Or at the last minute it will pick up the Bandit. IDK but Stellar Job. Just AWESOME! Ty aka Rags!
On your merge turn you were only pulling 6.5 g’s. You could have disabled the g limiter (paddle switch) and whipped the Hornet around on a dime with a fox-2 😁 Awesome video nevertheless! I only fly the Hornet so I love seeing it! 🐝
Had a buddy in the air wing and he said they had a pilot that popped overstress codes 3 times in like 3 months. He called in the code and when he landed the XO met him on flight line with a speed handle telling him to start pulling panels for the airframe inspection. He had to buy beer for the prior incidents.
Great video. I was hoping to watch the Hornet get smashed lol 🤣 I hate that plane with a passion. It has one purpose, target practice for other aircraft. Lol.
0:39 but something you should add into your calculation is that the Su-33 won't be able to carry that much of weapons since they're launched from ski-jump carrier.
I think you can try TDC depress to offset the radar beam scan centre or long press TDC depress to enable spotlight mode in hornet. That would be very helpful that you don't have to be nose hot in order to scan the bendit.
Mistery Man LongShot. Your channel would be helpful to teach us How to Flight if you ever could make few courses step by step world war three its ringing
Why am I always seeing a Su-33 equipped with R-77 missiles in DCS? To my knowledge only the Su-35, Su-30's and some versions of Su-27's, Mig 29's and Mig 31's can fire that missile, if I'm wrong someone let me know.
Ask the United States Navy Public Affairs Office, which they will ask why are you asking... and make a note of your particulars/open a file. Questions like that are OpSec territory, the real answer/time is something our enemies would like to know... especially the Chinese.
With the number of RUclips videos showing launches and recoveries, I doubt it is that much of a secret. I saw one recently from the POV of a F-18 cockpit where 4 launched in about 10 to 15 minutes, I believe it was, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.
@@debbiestimac5175 it's simple, sometimes you can see how some players create such combinations that several hundred machines are flying at each other and out of curiosity I was wondering how long it would take an aircraft carrier to send all the machines. Sometimes there are such missions that you have to defend the aircraft carrier, and the number of planes in the air determines whether the mission will succeed. Of course, this applies to the game. Besides, I hope that what is shown as American equipment in DCS is actually already a reserve of real forces and my question will not shake the power of the US Navy :)
People have to remember that the F/A-18 was always a compromise, not dedicated air superiority. Longshot is fighting in a very dangerous arena, no mountains to hide in, his situational awareness, how he talks through a problem is the thing we all should be taking away from this scenario. Work the problem, never succumb to frustration.

I like the editing.The quick, close-up, external action shots.
Came here to say the same thing. LOVE the editing!
Love when y’all start BVR and play all your cards and end in the merge, rare occasion too see.
Great Flying by you Both, and excellent video!
It must take a ton of extra work, but the exterior shots of the dogfight were unreal Longshot. Great video, and a great fight.
he's one step away from making actual short movies.
@@SoloRenegadehe actually made some.
@@traviswalker8933 An indie feature film? 1hr+ in length? 3-5 of these videos would make a single movie. Semi-choreographed.
@@SoloRenegade he has made short movies which is what you asked about in your initial comment.
@@traviswalker8933 by short Movie I meant ~1hr or so.
A short Story is a few minutes to let's say 15min or so.
What a knife fight that turned into, nice work
I love naval aviation, very good video as always...really was a great fight!
Thanks

I love your cinematic shots! You deserve way more views
and subs lol
Hey man, love to see you getting more and more confident every fight.
That was an awesome fight! A BVR fight with zero cover and they still merged! Great fight by both pilots. Excellent job staying present and taking advantage of an opportunity, Longshot (and figuring out what that splash was and what it meant)! Sidenote; I love the way that SU 33 looks with the canards and camo.
That was intense. Great fight.
Appreciate the real-time explanations on the how & why of defeating missiles.
Hey Longshot, a dogfight that might happen in real life soon is the F16 vs Su 30 😯
Do a video from the Flanker's perspective 🙏🏽🙏🏽
That 9X shot was a thing of beauty
Here before navel was changed to naval
Better than a Top Gun movie, much more real. Love the narrative.
Hi Longshot, great video. Did you use the VR or headtracking in this one?
Thank you
Thanks! TrackIR
I like how you fly past a carrier deck loaded with Hornets to take on a Flanker 1v1.... lol. Good fight, wasn't expecting you to win after the merge.
Its a good day when longshot uploads a video😂
Just watched Growling Sidewinders new Tomcat v. Viper just now and then rewarded with a second one with Longshot, great day indeed!
Indeed a good day 🤘🏻
Wow, fun one! BVR into a merge! Nice fight both of you!
Id like to see you in a SU57 against Growling Sidewinder in a Raptor
Dude, you had some REALLY good external video shots during the dogfight!
GREAT fight, LS!! Even slow, you were able to get nose on web the F18's high angle of attack!!
SCS right will auto lock a contact with the cross or + sign over them, you don't have to move the cursor over the contact and TDC depress it.
Hi LS ❤ your channel, and the coffee mug still rocks😊
Wait, you're not even doing the Rhino?! Dude, no wonder that was so tough.
LongShot that was AWESOME ! SweeeeeT , Jam Up Job :) Really good job in the Hornet & also just love the Transonic sound's of the F-18c.

That was a badass fight!
Glad you back online GS. well earned win.
Funny, I don't usually see flights coming from my navel...
Lol, fixed
And a warm thank you goes out to the U.S. Naval intelligence community ladies and gentlemen!

I love the fights over the water, no plave to hide. Great flying my man! 😁👍💪💪
Another "right on the edge of the seat" video. That's kind of your trademark now. Well done!
Cool video with an amazing edit (as others have mentioned). Love it!
Had you been a few seconds late with your fox two shot, Tron would've nailed you with an Archer.
Good kill and good win.
That was EXTREMELY exciting!!!
And another nail biting video, good stuff man.
Good, you are back in the air! 👍
Thank you very much!
Very cinematic!
You almost fodded out your motors at the end...Really close to the debris.
This was a very entertaining fight. Close match.
Great video. I was hoping to watch the Hornet get smashed lol 🤣 I hate that plane with a passion. It has one purpose, target practice for other aircraft. Lol.
I think Flanker's issue was in the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat.
coolest DCS battle I ever seen
A belly button fight?! I'm here for it.
Aww he fixed it.
0:39 but something you should add into your calculation is that the Su-33 won't be able to carry that much of weapons since they're launched from ski-jump carrier.
In dcs its possible if you go around and use the entirety of the deck. IRL probably not
The editing was fire on this video! Well done!
Great video Bro, very exciting 👍
Good tough fight, thumbs up brother
Maybe i don't get something but 2xfuel tanks instead of 4xAIMs? RWS instead of TWS? high ping ration instead med below 20mils?
Really have missed your videos! Thought you had punched-out of your gaming chair and were E and Eing your way back!
I would love to see you run sorties in the Flanker-D and the F/A-18 Hornet. My guess is you're flying the C variant of the illustrious Legacy Hornet.
That was a very cool fight!
Great fight!
Defeating missile with drop tanks is an impossible task at that range. By the way ur system done it for u. Congrats.
we missed you LS.
I think you can try TDC depress to offset the radar beam scan centre or long press TDC depress to enable spotlight mode in hornet. That would be very helpful that you don't have to be nose hot in order to scan the bendit.
Thanks! I totaly forgot. I need to practice more....
Good fight right there.
Very good video, but you need a better outside of cockpit camera man, I think his was drunk.
Why didn't that flanker pops out flares before hit by sidewinder?
With how slow he was overhead honestly wouldn't of even mattered.
Great fight
Good job
more scenarios ❤❤ great video tho
Nice to see equal human fight
Hellofa fight! Good job!
Two First time at Venezuela vs Guyana F-22 Paired with 4 F-16 12 F-18 Super Hornet vs. SU-33 SU-35 SU-27 Flanker Fulcrum Amanerado
In reality, the Su-33 can only carry half its full load of armament when taking off from a carrier.
It can carry full load but below 100% fuel and use the mid air refueling capability
White-knuckled 🙂
At 6:34 bottom right corner, is that a missile?
Whats the difference between a su 30 amd a su 33?
I'd rather lower resolution or whatever compromise is needed to get rid of the frame drop. I checked out a few minutes in because of it.
Great video longshot, it’s almost been a year since we last flew if you’d like any help you know where to find me
Badass❤
Ausome video's.
The russian fighter got my frustrated 😂
100% this wouldnt have lasted this long with vs a human
Why didn’t you take a third belly tank? It was just empty…? At least put a pod there if not a tank 🤷♂️

Your buddy past 5000000 subscribers what is the hold up? nice video.
Yeah, well deserved. It's up to you guys
the SU- # , he forgave you ! ..
Probebly lol
Su-33 with R-77? WTF Bro!? 😅
How fast can an aircraft carrier send 12 Hornets into the air?

These BVR fights are very predictable... Moar scenarios!
Very distracting camera work - not good.
First!
