On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

The Tomcat is a crazy aircraft, it seems like its only limited by the skill of the pilot. Anyway thanks for watching guys I'll see you in the next one, Much Love.
I think its low altitude inverted ejection capabilities could be improved !
awesome video. it's missing the 9G grimaces!😁
Well done GS!!! remember the DCS is USAF certified so it follows that a pilot who knows his plane well can shoot down a "superior" plane sorry Flanker lovers the F-14 Tomcat can and is capable of shooting down Flankers or Migs with a good pilot at the controls, GS Please remember when the F-4E Phantom II is available.

An exceptional display and utilization of available resources. Fly it like there is no tomorrow.
Great Work GS. I am of the opinion that the Tomcat was everything Admiral Thomas F. Connolly hoped it would be.
Note to self: when ejecting near the ground, an upward trajectory is preferred.
Splat!
Splash one pilot guys
This helpful tip seems like deja-vu…
youtube video dyjYp6WT7ww "One Second Too Late" USAF instructional video, interesting to see.
To be fair when you're missing both wings, sometimes it's hard to get an upward trajectory
If possible, you should do a scenario where there are ground troops with MANPAD systems scattered around and how you would deal with that.
Great idea!
Certainly wouldn't be able to do the down on the deck rate fight we see in so many videos, and would make defending Fox 3's more interesting as well as going down low would put you in the MANPADS engagement envelope.
Yes please! This would be very interesting
👀
Incroyable.
A Super Tomcat 21 with fly by wire diff thrust, strengthend flaps, retaining the wing sweep, an internal bay for missiles, updated engines, and some stealth would have absolutely dominated.
Maybe not wingsweep, cause that is a maintenance nightmare
As cool as this would be, I feel like at that point it's practically a different aircraft altogether lol, even if it retained the airframe and wingsweep
As sexy and cool as that would be, it's really nothing the F-22 can't do. Just in a logical not fun at parties sense
@@Lungolords why compare it to the f22 tho, its not comparable
@@wolterbalthazar5739yes and no… take the M-16 vs M-4 rifles for example. Not everything is interchangeable but it’s still the same platform concept just with different modifications.
When I see the tomcat rattling and shaking on an extreme turn it reminds me of riding in aircraft in the service and how…unsmooth it was. Sure do miss it. Good stuff GS.
Wow I remember watching your Tomcat Su-33 Dogfight a couple of years ago and the difference between how you piloted the tomcat then and now is insane
ahah yaaa come a long way since then. Learned a lot about the old Tomcat.
One of my favorite videos
Damn wish someone would create the rejected Super Tomcat 21 concept in DCS! Would love to see Growling Sidewinder fly that enhanced Tomcat!
would be interesting, but id rather see real aircrafts(with real data), not theoretical concepts
I want to see Max Afterburner analyzing this video cause I want to hear what he would do in both scenarios even though he hasn't fly an F14 like Tom Cruise, but just his knowledge of how fighters respond on certain maneuvers in RL vs DCS can make you gauge how close DCS is to RL
Yes! He needs to react to this!
Max is great :)
Would have loved to see an outside shot of how close you got to the ground there. Maybe a good short? Love watching your stuff every day man. Keep up the amazing work and great videos.
In fact, for the Flanker, the F-14 is a small fish. To confront the F-14, the capabilities of the MiG-23 Flogger and MiG-25 Foxbat were enough. But on the F-15, which turned out to be an excellent fighter at that time, the "teeth" of the Flogger were no longer enough. Therefore, the Flanker was created as a worthy answer to the F-15. Anything is possible in DCS.
I'm fairly certain the Crew Chief would rather get back a broken bird to fix than have no bird at all to work on. And the F-14 dances pretty good for a big girl! 😉
Yes! Us plane captains would rather it come back broke than not at all!
@@jimw8016 my apologies! I was using AF parlance since that's what GS seems to be most familiar with! 👍
Glad to hear from a fellow sailor!
I see a GS video featuring him driving the Tomcat…and I’m there. Every. Single. Time.
I cheer for the F-14 like I’m watching the Super Bowl. Love it.
that electrical burbling/humming noise from the Tomcat's radar/viewing screen is very cool and eerie at the same time
What's ironic is that towards the end of the F-14's service life the Navy used them as aggressors representing Flankers at the NSAWC at NAS Fallon.
I think it fits. It’s a large twin engine fighter with great range and heavy payload.
Granted the F-14 is dramatically different than the Flanker in many ways, but the basics are similar. Same with the F-15. They were the Thicc fighters of the 80s and 90s. They can represent each other as aggressors very well.
in round one it looks like the pilot was not killed buy your gun run. Because when you fired your fox 2s I noticed that he started flaring. Fun video as always
“All praise the Tomcat” 🙌
It's like watching two technical boxers go all out trading one round for the next.
Like the f-15 the tomcat was worthy of continued development. Had they moved a little faster it would quite possibly have been a lot more D models and maybe some of the multi-role variance that were being discussed.
It's not even completely impossible that there might have been a follow-on version as we see with the f-15ex
You are really my favorite youtuber to watch, and this video was truly great. Can't wait for the next one!
The old saying was that you need to grab him by the collar and don't let go, once you are in the merge... where you get the analogy... it's a knife fight in a phone booth.
Hey, that´s very cool to see your great improvements on your Tomcat-skills. Your flying looks way better and more controlled now. Good job!
Imagine how awesome the tomcat would be if they kept upgrading it and adding stealth.
No point of doing that
Dude, it’s not the jet, it’s you. It’s your SA, instinct, knowledge, skill and knowing how to be a sneaky bastard. I have watched almost all your videos and that’s the common denominator. Like going up against an F15EX and almost killing it. Most of us mere mortals would have been cooked in the first 10 minutes. You took it to the merge and was one shot away from beating it. You are a beast!
Amazing! I’d love to see you put the extra challenge of not jamming flaps down on yourself. I’ve heard that flaps down was a move that only best would use, and they would be able to avoid the jamming.
I think this might be one of your most gripping videos to date. It is just wild to see the Tomcat hold its own against the Flanker when on paper it has such a huge disadvantage.
That was phenomenal! Heart pounding action and you got me yelling a few expletives.
I've heard that one risk with over G'ing the aircraft is that it can cause weapons systems to malfunction. But at least you get a chance to take the shot; Round 4 shows the alternative.
Amazing video, and amazing flying skills! This was one of my favorites!
Yo GS, your cat driving skills are mental. Some of the best DCS flying with an aircraft ahead of its time. Great content. Keep it up. Have a pleasant day. Cheers.
Another great video and great skills managing diff thrust etc. Love the F14. Thanks for doing what you do GS.
Another highly engaging video. Love this channel!
This is awesome!!! Came out on my Bday Month! Thank you!
The Flanker and F-14 are just beautiful, thank you very much!
It's amazing to watch you wring out every ounce of performance from the Tomcat, and fascinating to see how much it fights you (compared to a Viper). Also pretty sure your wings weren't fully swept in round 3?
I don't play this, want to but for now just enjoy GS's videos. I believe that was the round he said he wasn't going to override flaps and manual wing sweep. So my guess is they sweep automatically without that based on speed (low speed out, high speed in)
@@invertwiley1689 was round 4 when he said he was not going to do manual sweep. He probably just forgot to do manual in round 3.
Yea, for it was written; When thy throttles are split, with boards down and thy wings swept thusly, all shall perish in his path; for Iceman and Jester are as one, and none shall rate as thy Tomcat; for the Tomcat's domain is both one circle and two. All praise the Tomcat.
what a great comment lol.
A fun video idea would perhaps be on how to defend from incoming missiles. A little bit of teaching, y’know! Anyway, love the videos keep it up!
Bonus round. Awesome video like how you put the definition on the top
Great video man I love both these fighters respect 🙏
I simple man. I see Tomcat I click.
It’s such a shame the Tomcat didn’t get as many revisions and years of service the F15 has had. A super tomcat would be sick.
There was one, just not in the same sense as the F-15EX
We need a stealthcat mod in DCS. HMD, HOBS capable, thrust vectoring.
Like the Super Tomcat 22 that pilotphotog had a video about a few months back. A 5th generation Tomcat, with stealth, supercruise, and internal weapons.
@@kerededyh exactly!
The "splat" sound on impact of your eject into the ground really caught me off guard lol
I have admired the swing wing since I was a kid. How those wings can swivel and yet stay attached during those manoeuvres melts my brain
Brilliant flying!👍👍
0:52 is that *Differential THRUST*
😱😱
Man really is Top Gunning that Tomcat, The flanker was a pretty hard opponent *for added disrespect
Something I think you are missing GS is that your merges with flaps broken are occurring at .5M or a tad below corner speed while your flaps up merges are all .85+. Merging between .5 and .6 M already allows you to turn ridiculously tight to jam wez's.
I enjoy the longer vids, it shows all the ways a fight can go between these birds. glory to the Tom Cat xD
Jester in the back seat: " We hit him with a Sidewinder...he's finished"!!
GS: "Fox 2 again...Bounce the rubble"
Thx for the bonus round!
Every time you say cobra, my dog "Cobra" always comes to see what's up. He's a good boy.
Idea: Ground Troups , Enemy plane vs you.
I like to see those little tips like explaining the WEZ. It's really helpful!
Sammy! You're breaking the aircraft Sammy!
looks like youve finally managed to actually anticipate a guns shot. never thought id see the day
The difference when you switched to no manual wing sweep or differential thrust in Round 4 was crazy.
Tomcat: GOAT of all fighter planes - and you fly it like a champ!
Love it as always man! As i understand it, they never use flaps in dogfight, cause to damaging them, and the ride home would be "kinda hell". I have no idea tho. I've used flaps in dogfight in the DCS and i really regretted that shit after btw winning the fight. Couldn't retract them after bending them suckers to shit. But yea like you said, gotta do it to survive of course. One thing, i think you'r too generous on them sidwinders. 2 at the same second? lol! But i got it it got it...its just for fun. Thanks Growling! Keep Rock n rolling brother.
What a spicy fight. Good stuff 🤠
These videos of Tomcats dominating modern aircraft always make me giggle like a kid. Plus nothing more beautiful than a Tomcat flying in the sky.
I've seen in other videos that you don't have to manually drop the flaps, breaking the Tomcat in order to win a dogfight. You only need to do that if you want to fly one-circle, the same way you fly the Flanker or Fulcrum. If you play to the Tomcat's strengths and fly 2-circle the Tomcat would win often, especially in prolonged fights.
Unless those flares were "Auto Eject" that was a live pilot kill...
"Tomcat is great man" Tomcat: Shudders when trying to pull Gs
Great video. Great channel!
I served in the Navy in the 80's when Tom Cruise made the movie Top Gun, and the Tomcat was an amazing aircraft to watch. When I came home from my time in the service and the F/A-18 Hornet was going out into the fleet, I said, "A... what? What's a Hornet?"
Fun to watch. Fun to learn, too. Thumbs up all day.
Loving the vids Grandpa Sidewinder
Since I've thought about it, you really don't shoot an enemy plane apart with the gun. You never really get "gun kills" unless it's a pilot, engine, or flight controls hit or maybe vertical stabs. You only have to hit a wing or elevator enough times to structurally weaken it and since most of the time they're pulling hard maneuvers the wings are already at the limit almost all those kills where a wing comes off are from the aircraft maneuvering under high G.
So if it's a Flanker, F-18, or F-16 take as many potshots of opportunity as possible because if one or two lucky shells hit a spar the next Cobra or 9-G turn they try to pull they're gonna rip their own wings off.
Damn GS. What an amazing video.
either you break the aircraft or the enemy breaks it for you
Very well said. I enjoyed this.
@@GrowlingSidewinder likewise
That double kill though!
"If I die, comrade, you come to Hell with me!"
The Tomcat has been my favourite U.S. aircraft... since it was still in service. Another excellent video, G.S.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AS ALWAYS!!!!!!!!😃👍
Very interesting fight Great job by you GS again
This is remarkable! These accomplishments with the F14 are fantastic! But GS Buddy ! Where is R2 🤔
He has a habit of thinking the fight is over before it's actually over......and ejecting into the ground
That splash sound at 10:33 got me 🤣 Awesome fights!
For some reason, whenever I see the Tomcat, I hit that 👍🏽.
❤️ ur videos sir. keep it coming.
Bonus indeed! Thanks GS
At 10:34 the head squish sound ... too funny!
Imagine how deadly the Tomcat would be with a modern fly by wire system. It wound be able to do most of this autonously without breaking the aircraft
The F-14D had fly by wire
@Mike Romeo yes. Even with its limited computing power and capabilities it was supposed to be impressive. Imagine what it would have been like with a modern system.
@@Mike_Romeo No, the D didn't have fly by wire, it was only DFCS.
the "ugh" at 5:51 lol
As some tomcat pilots say: "She's a big bird but she dances well"
I'm not so sure about the flaps down issue. I was listening to old Tomcat guys on either the Tomcast podcast or The Fighter Pilot podcast talk about how effective the tomcat was with flaps down. He didn't seem to have a problem using them.
Dang thats some pilot shit, time to revisit the su57 fight
I think i remember somewhere seeing that high g turns would jam flaps and extended wings out
The Tomcat is a truly impressive airframe when it's not being maintained constantly. It's such a shame variable wings are just not worth the investment because they just capture that "too cool for school" vibe.
8:53 - GS: "If you're going to survive the dogfight you're going to have to fight the best that the aircraft can fight. Right?"
Yeah, and you're going to have to blindfold, gag, and tie Jester in his seat to keep him from punching out early.
Man that F14 was struggling. Practically ripped it in half
1:10 lmao that blink
Love all Tomcat content!
That ejection into the ground "splat" was hilarious
"It's not the plane..it's the pilot." Love seeing the Tom Cat killing Russion POS Flankers.
Ahh yes GS posted, made my night.
The Tomcat always seems on the verge of shaking itself to pieces.
First splash on the flanker was insane
Love watching your F14 vids, the thongs you can make that plane do is amazing!
I love the vids keep it up
Cool vid thanks GS
F-14's kick butt, we didn't care if the pilot stressed the aircraft, as long as he survived and completed the mission. Just some extra work, stress test and NDI's. A regular day in aircraft maintenance. VF-154 and VF-21 aboard the mighty USS Independence. Miss those days!
"My viewers can have a bonus round as a little treat"
-Growling Sidewinder, probably...
I'd like to see some videos of you vs a Tomcat. Like you fly an Eagle or a Flanker or a Fulcrum against one; see if you have the guts to pull the trigger on your favorite plane. [Insert dark villain laugh]
That was a good fight!
