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.

Thank you guys for watching and if you have any ideas for future videos please put them in the comment section below and they might just end up in the pipeline, thanks again, much Love.

The conversation on the ground between the 2 pilots would be fun to hear!!

Some of the best content on YouTube comes from this channel.

I believe Argentina still flies the A-4, dubbed the A-4AR 'Fightinghawk', that were upgraded and modified here in the US, and used almost exclusively for the ground attack role. The avionics upgrade came from the F-16, and the 'Fightinghawk' designation is a nod to that.

[GrizzlysWelcome]

When Sidewinder's videos go live, its a good day from then on. Thanks for the great content man, keep it up, and wish everyone a great day.

That collision made me jump.. that looked very brutal in the replay.

[XiaOmegaX]

I'm always impressed by the flight dynamics modeled after mid-air collisions in this sim

[cademosley]

You ought to do a video chat with some of your regular opponents like Toxic sometimes. He feels like a channel regular by now, and it'd be cool to hear some of his thoughts on dogfighting.

[billisaacs]

Apparently the Harrier not only does vertical takeoff, it reverses fate as well. Interesting. Must be alien tech.

[dondraper]

13:00 Legend has it that, after ejecting, both pilots drew their sidearm and continued dogfighting still strapped to their chute all the way down to the ground...

[farmcat]

Surprised the engine could even stay working after that first game when it got shot seeing that Harrier/AV8 engines tend to overheat ALOT.

[NNCkl.]

In the harrier, my best experience dogfighting is keeping as much altitude as possible, pulling high aoa, and using those nozzles to slow down as fast as possible and force the nose around(or an overshoot) to get a shot and force the other guy defensive, then nozzle back-nose down to regain speed quickly, and do it again and again until hitting ground level where I like to keep the nozzles just slightly down to keep the other pilot confused with the weird maneuvering lol

[thatcococat]

Easily some of my favorite content on youtube, the videos are always so engaging and so rewatchable! Your channel is the whole reason I personally have gotten into DCS because the way you play makes it look incredibly fun and exciting.

[Ifoughtpiranhas]

You know what they say about the ramming a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em."

[JoelGarcia-ezjq]

Best content on youtube, I don't even play DCS, but, somehow I find these soooo entertaining, fun and relaxing to watch, on top of that, now, I have a somewhat basic understanding on "how to dogfight" and on how to fight on BVR combat, even some fighting terminology, things I never thought I would learn, so yeah, thank you GS, this is awesome.❤

I got to the point that now I know when you mess something up waaayyy before you get killed just by looking at the other aircraft thanks to your teachings. 😂😂😂
I simply "learned how it works".

[treyaldridge]

Also worth noting that the Argentines were operating a different A-4 variant than is depicted as the Argentines were operating primarily A-4Bs and C's, both of which had only 3 pylons, and also without the notable hump in the fuselage seen in later models.

[ToTheNines]

I love how you cut out abruptly when getting hit like that. Not to sound morbid but it really makes you think about how immediate and sudden death can be.

[MrErictank]

I didn't see the other chute until the end-replay. Thought for sure you came out on top for that one, if only by virtue of making it out of the plane.

[Shaggerob]

Worth noting that the Sea Harrier had a Blue Fox radar and was designed for air-air fleet defence vs ground attack AV-8B

[williamtaftt]

Would love to see some videos in the harrier soon. VIFFing such a cool concept to throw into a dogfight
