MORE MORE MORE Su-30sm ... but with YOU flying it 1st: You (Su-30sm) vs another Su-30sm (for a baseline of best of 5) 2nd: You (Su-30sm) vs the SAME PILOT in an F-22 (best of 5) 3rd: You (Su-30sm) vs the SAME PILOT in a Su-57 (best of 5) ... please. PS, I wish the F-16 had tracers
Every time I see Toxic flying in the opposing aircraft, I know both machines are going to be pushed to their absolute limit. That guy can fly... Nice Kills...
Really impressive flying from Toxic, I know its really difficult to land those shots but he had so many near-misses I think he could've took this set 2-1 if not swept the Viper.
that SU can made turns in one spot and put his nose on any directions, if you actually know how to fly this SU, so... land "hit" shots not so difficult, if you know how to fly this thing
Astounding proficiency once again, @GrowlingSidewinder! Your command of aerial maneuvers is remarkably instructive and intensely exciting to observe. I consistently gain new insights and remain utterly captivated by your aerial engagements. Eagerly anticipating your next showcase!
Thank you for your kind comments, I continue to learn new things everyday and its nice to be able to share them here with you guys, thank you for watching.
F16 is one of the most versatile aircraft ever made. Wondering if DCS will get an update for the viper to the v/block 70-72 variant, which would make it even more capable in bvr
F-16s getting more upgrades? At this rate, they'll be brewing coffee and walking your dog while outmaneuvering missiles. Let's start a petition for a built-in espresso machine in the next block update! ☕✈ #ViperBarista
@@fillnc most notable ones are an aesa radar and a better datalink module. It also has a new display, similar to the f35’s display, and it’s placed under the hud, replacing the analogue gagues. It’s a pretty neat upgrade, i think lockheed martin made a post about it with more details
@@fillncblock 70 has AESA radar (better detection range and can detect low RCS better, less susceptible to jamming) It also has Viper shield EW suite, sensor fusion.
The su30sm is a su30 that has been upgraded to su35e standards which is basically 90's tech. The new su35sm has modernized airframe and engines saving several tons in weight with more thrust and supercruise ability. Also upgraded to su57 avionics and radars making it a true 4.5 gen. We need to see one of those modeled in DCS.
@@likwidchris id say he was pushing the limit of the head on rule but GS was far enough for it to possibly not be considered a head on. i dont think GS had the ability to actually pull him into the hud, just got close to it
TBH the no-headon policy doesn't make as much sense in a fight with aircraft that can just choose to point the nose from a defensive position, like at 17:43
@stevenhartman2605 The no head on rule is to make sure there's no mutual kills. So even if it's done from what'd usually be a defensive position, it wouldn't really matter as it'll still end in a mutual kill, which wouldn't really be an interesting fight.
I love these two iconic birds. Hey GS. You think a fight between a F/A -18 Super Hornet versus a Su-30SM or a Su-33(if they have that variant out on DCS yet) would be good. I was thinking US Navy vs Russian Navy! Let's make it happen.
Toxic is SUCH a patient pilot. After three near misses in a row I would have gotten greedy with the nose and made a big mistake in exchange for still not hitting the target.
I know he is in an amazing dog figter, but man our dude toxic is killing it with new skills man. I think he has learnt a shit load from fighting you bro. Your a great teacher and he is obviously a great listener. Bloody hell that SU-30 is beautiful. Great video man and great kills all round. Been missing your videos dude.
@@TrungNguyen-uf8cv the thing barely lost to the F16 XD. if anything the only reason it lost was due to the pilots inaccurate shots. otherwise the thing was harassing the F16 all vid
That's any modern fbw jet during maneuver. They are inherently unstable. It allows them to do pretty insane maneuver that non fbw jet cannot hope to keep up. But the problem is once you lose control surface during combat maneuver, you are done for.
With that stabilizer missing, I believe the thrust nozzle cause the plane to flip. They work in unison... and that stabilizer went mia. But it looked to be totally recoverable otherwise.

Very challenging dogfight, I can't imagine so much. I dare you to try Gripen vs Su-57 maneuvering dogfight with or without missiles like you did on the Su-35 before. Great gaming!
Wow! That was an impressive set of dogfights ❤ Especially that tight loop he pulled in the 3rd round! If the rules were different, GS would have died right then and there 😂 Bravo 🎉
I've been following all your videos now for about a year, thank you so much for your content. Your skills and didactic approach to this are very instructive and educational. From an outside perspective, I can only critique that it seems your gunnery mastery is not on par with your other many skills. I would love to see your enemies melting in front of you @GrowlingSidewinder !!!! 🙏
Between the 1st 2 fights the time of fight was close. Do what you are normally trying not to do when trying to out rate him. Back off the throttle and pull a little harder and slow the Viper down.

What a great fight that was! You really had to work hard and diligently for those kills.
Great flying by Toxic and GS in this one!
17:44 "I'm gonna show him little trick I learned!"
Toxic is a great pilot. Really enjoy the two of fight
First round was REAL close! Good kill GS and Toxic, showing once again he is quite the adversary!
Anxiously waited for Sukhoi 30SM and F16 in guns only is something undeniably good
Impressive. Outstanding piloting by both. Probably my fav of all your amazing kills.
After 12 hour shifts at the Austin Gigafactory - this is my favorite channel to watch! Keep it up! 👏
Toxic is such a beast. Dogfighs bettwen you two are always epic!
Some good modeling of the multiple rainbows- colors reversed in the second order like they should be.
50 years of F-16 in 2024 and 25 years of Su-30 in 2021
Thats 2nd fight was incredible from the Su30
a great face-off of different philosophies of aerial fighting. Both birds are equally capable in that scenario
Great fights. The very definition of flying to your aircraft's strengths.
I literally do not care what this guy flies, I love these videos

@@captchaosbluely1339bro the f35 already destroyed the tomcat and the f4 bleeds it’s energy more then the tomcat and has worse aoa

Just give them what they want
I'd love to see something with an F6F Hellcat. My Grampa flew one of those during WWII, and I'd like to see one in the hands of a capable pilot.
He made you work for that first kill! Great display of skill and effective use of aircraft by both pilots!
5:35 that inverted ejection is insane!
Damn, I loved seeing the kill shots from the enemy POV in the second fight. Also at 11:50 the sounds man, no game comes close!
It looks like he kept on taking shots with his back to the sun. It was hard to even see the rounds facing the sun. Great tactic i would have done.
15:39 A perfect example of “Never count on luck, but luck counts.”
He definitely took some head-on shots there in the 2nd fight.
No, he didn't. He took broadside shots while GS' helmet HUD was looking at him. If you don't see the funnel, the bandit isn't in front of GS.
@@blshouse what it again, @10:59 sure looks like a head-on shot to me. No where near a broadside shot.

Toxic would have gotten more accurate shots if he would have used the main gun sight instead of the Funnel. Good fights though.
Amazing fight!
Shout out to both pilots for giving us a great fight!!
You can almost hear the Russians, "C'mon, Mavski, do some of that thrust vectoring shit."
2:35 “Double rainbow all the way! Omg so intense” 😂

Hey GS. You think a fight between a F/A -18 Super Hornet versus a Su-30SM or a Su-33(if they have that variant out on DCS yet) would be good. I was thinking US Navy vs Russian Navy!

I would love to see a head to head fight where the jets have to face off at opposite ends of the runway, take off and then dogfight.
Toxic is SUCH a patient pilot. After three near misses in a row I would have gotten greedy with the nose and made a big mistake in exchange for still not hitting the target.

Jeesh, that was intense. I found myself sitting all tensed up and involuntarily twitching to avoid getting hit.
"Mistakes were made."
**Creates giant crater just outside of town. **
When you got slow in that 1 circle in the second fight, I knew you were in trouble. That was an interesting fight.
Those were some slick manoeuvres from toxic. It looked like you were fighting a damn ufo!
Good ground explosions in this episode...Boom!
That was some sweet flying by both pilots there.
Quality stuff, GS
Impressive! I really didn't think the Viper stood much of a chance going into that.
I love how mutch detail yo show in your Clips :) i like the difrent cam perspectives. super nice ! and we feel how professionel you ar .
There are a couple names I look for when GS credits the bandit and Toxic is definitely one. Great fights!
Brilliant! One of the best dog fights I've seen in DCS.🙌

The double rainbow is a really cool aesthetic touch by ED
Imagine living in one of those houses and getting buzzed by a fighter jet engaged in a dogfight 5 meter above your roof doing 650 km/h...
I really like the way you talk us through everything you are doing.
Maybe it's just me, but any Flanker on your six (because of its twin stabilizers) looks like a bull chasing you down.😂
Great energy management video tutorial!
The F 16 is as good as the Pilot flying it.
2:33 FULL ON DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!!
Surprising that even losing as little as half a elevator throws stability of a VT-capable jet out of whack, effectively rendering it done for.
That's any modern fbw jet during maneuver. They are inherently unstable. It allows them to do pretty insane maneuver that non fbw jet cannot hope to keep up. But the problem is once you lose control surface during combat maneuver, you are done for.
With that stabilizer missing, I believe the thrust nozzle cause the plane to flip. They work in unison... and that stabilizer went mia. But it looked to be totally recoverable otherwise.
Damn dude you really wear him down till he makes a mistake then you kill him.
The camouflage paint scheme on the F-16, made me think of Iron Eagle
What a great fight. Also great flight skill from both side
That had me on the edge of my seat for sure. Good show GS!
The shenanigans around 17:30 ❤ If Flanker had shot then it might have hit the Viper.
imagine if fox 2s were allowed
Tks for doing this fight. Very interesting on dynamics from both aircrafts aspects
Would like to see some mirror match-ups. Same plane on both sides.
This might just be my favorite 1v1 guns only battle.
Perfect example why the USA went with Momentum vs Acrobat meanuvers. Great kill 1st rd
What a great series of battles! ⚔🔥👏
Another great video GS... Love it...!!!
I wanna see you in the other side of this fight, with you in the Su-30.

I totally get the point you made the other day now! Nice fighting and flying!
That was a pleasure to watch. Great fight!
So what would the F-16 be like with thrust vectoring? It is already an agile fighter as it is so now I'm just curious.
@GrowlingSidewinder "Friendship with F22 is over. Su-30SM is now my new best friend"
17:55 sick move
Love listening to your commentary as always!

Lol, he pressed the backflip button.
honestly out ofnall the airplanes I think the flanker looks the most menacing when you see it on your six
