"R A T E, not a rade, not a **rape** fight, although some times it feels that way" ~Growling Sidewinder 2021

I like the "no altitude comment" .. as your literally carving the ground with your right wing!!!!

Change roles, you in the Gripen E vs someone else in the Mirage. It boils down to skill, which you have a lot of.

Impatience in the rate fight cost him twice. As you've shown many times, when you're winning in the rate fight just hold off, don't cash everything in right away.

There's a saying in photography: It's not about the camera; it's about the person behind it. Well... It's not about the aircraft; it's about the person flying it! Nice job as always, GS.

Is it only my or does it feel like you have more energy and are more confident. Cause' if so, good job.

One thing missing from these extended duels is the ability of the pilot to sustain high-g maneuvers over time. If you're turning and burning for 20 or 30 seconds, what do you have left physically at the end? Flight sims can replicate grey-out and blackout but not the endurance factor of a human body in a fight such as these.

Another victory for Greece in our war with Sweden, it's a good thing we committed to the crate fight.

I like how you always highlight the T on the word ratefight now

GS why not throw the Rafale against the Gripen? See how it does

Thanks for accepting the request GS!

"Oh yes... I've been looking forward to this!" --- Count Dooku ---

In the age of fox 2 and fox 3 GS: We will resolve our issues with guns only

Interesting result, skill and patience wins about every time. I'm sure I am not the only one who would like to see the Gripen and the Rafale have a bit of a throw down.

Just shows that the Mirage still has sharp teeth even after all these years...

I've been waiting for this one!

Best 2 fights I’ve seen so far and I’ve probably seen 40 videos, nice mate!

"It's not a rape fight, although it does feel like that sometimes" 😂😂😂

I miss the kill cams. Noticed that you are not doing them anymore. But still, great vid and awesome battle :D

hold up. Mirage dogfight and no Atè, that’s just not right. Still a great video though. Keep up the good work GS.

Damn son, that first kill was knarly lmao.

This video you had to say RATE so enunciated every time. JUST to make sure

Not “RAPE” fight although it sometimes feels that way. Lmao

Dude has a brutal laugh when he smokes those poor bastards 🤣 Great vid! Thx!!!

i think that in that case the plane wasn't the thing in the fight, the pilot experience was what decided the fight.

01:03 the way he looked in mirror was SCAREY ..xd

6:05 that was THEE most beautiful transition i have ever seen

For the record, the H.A.F. is not using 2000's. According to their website, they use the 2000-5 and 2000 EGM/BGM Versions. But still, great Aircraft.

Request. SU27 vs Mirage, I wonder who out AOAs who?

@Growling Sidewinder Would love to see you do matches where you swap planes after. It would show that it's not just the simulated aircraft but also the pilot that makes the difference.

Love to see the Mirage again. How would the Gripen do against the Rafale?

Nice situational awareness! The Gripen pilot made several unnecessary turn reversals right into your pipper. Sometimes it seemed he just aborted rate fights he was winning.

French Queen Mirage. Always legendary.

I would love to see the Swedes truly adopt a splinter camouflage pattern for the 39 like on the Viggen

It proves, old is gold and technology is not everything. What we need is a good man behind the machine.

damn I was really counting on a tac view to see what the hell that Gripen did when you went like "good job on that Gripen"

@GrowlingSidewinder Dude another great vid and great manoeuvres! Little tip: against smaller size jets like the Gripen, when you are in one circle gunfight with a similar delta platform like Mirage 2K, perhaps a little bit of altitude relative to the bandit will give you much better attitude during deck transition, so much so that you’ll invariably gain a firing solution right at the cusp or onset of the transition thanks to the fantastic AoA that the Mirage can pull. But I am sure you already know that. BTW, how can I order your Hoodies from India bro??

Bro thx for making these vids like whenever I'm bored I think about jets just keep it up

Yess! more delta wings, finaly X) X) You should do one with the Raphale vs Gripen sometime.

It is a "RAPE" Fight if you are going against a Raptor though........

Well done - thought you were going to fly into the powerlines at the end :-)!

Great video as always, keep up the good work!

Hi, I would love to see jf 17 thunder vs f16 viper do dogfighting or F15 eagle vs MIG 29 I hope you can do it

Hey, how often does fuel become a problem in DCS? As in, the fuel you took, wasn't enough.. and are there ways to deal with this other than using afterburner less, trying to conserve fuel? Like options for Ariel refueling etc.. in DCS

summary of video: DOWN TO THE DECK BOIS

Hey GS any chance of a classic war bird match up, P51 vs Spitfire? Could really use some tips to help me best my wingman/Rio.

Do Russian vs European fighters. I guess Typhoon, Ralafe, Gripen is for mainly against Sukhoi and Migs.

Good flying. Two nice planes. The Mirage is like a somewhat younger manifestation of the Swedish Draken, though not related. And the Gripen a development of the Viggen.

Shows how it's not the better plane but the better pilot that matters at the end

The Mirage, Rafale, Eurofighter, and Gripen look like the same plane more or less. All Delta wings.

got the Mirage today and as a newb this thing whips around so easily and I love it... but the gun reticle is so counterintuitive I have no Idea how to aim the thing correctly

Love how you had the strobes on, for easier finding by the Grippen :)))

Omg, that high pitched beeping gave me a headache 30s in.

Oh you thought you were winning? That was just a Mirage.

I thought it was pronounced "tickle" fight. Boy, I was waaaayy off...

I would like to see you at the Gripen controls.

Rafale VS Gripen T-45 Goshawk VS F-14 Tomcat Super Tucano VS P-51 SU-30MKI VS SU-33 F-18 Super Hornet VS F-22 F-35 VS SU-35 F-86 Sabre VS MB-339 Aermacchi J-10 VS SU-27 MIG-21 VS MIG-23 A-10 Thunderbolt VS MIG-19 MIG-28 VS MIG-29 Please fly the plane's on the left 👍

Holly molly I haven't realized how good the gripen is turning

That first kill was absolutely beautiful. I actually yelled out when you landed that shot. May have to try out the Mirage next Also we really need to see some bf109 play in these clouds

Hmmm sounded like you were saying " rake" fight to me. LOL

Here's your raid fight for the KZfaq algorithm

I waited for this

‘Ate’ would be proud!

Good fight to our random Gripen. That had to be a tough fight.

The great rematch, after literally years

That kill on the 1st round is so satisfying holy shit

There is physics and ingenious fighter designs and the there is the skills of GS disrespecting all odds ;-)

an Aermacchi mb 339 vs Mirage 2000 may be an interesting video; good old France vs Italy fight

I wonder if the result would be the same if the pilot of the gripen was as good as you... i swear i saw a couple of moments where you would've died if the JAS driver was more patient

Ahhh, RATE fight, I was so confused why you and your opponents were always trying to out-rape one another. Glad you cleared that up.

You always say its a R A T E fight and for the longest time I had no idea that it was short for "turn-rate fight"

First round that reversal was elite

Great piece of hardware GS! Amazing videos ✌🏻

It's funny how he says raTE fight to not confuse people lol

Im just chuckling as now GS says rate with an overly pronounced T now. Beautiful.

I'm here for the rake fight :)

Not a single video that includes Typhoon vs Rafale, Typhoon vs Any other Aircraft.... Hoping to see that in times to come

The old Mirage 2000 had a damn strong pimp hand, good fighter

This was a great match up - but same skill in both jets - the Gripen is taking it. BVR no question, Gripen is going to jam the Mirage and eat him alive.

Its the one with the T....LOL

what IS the diference between a 1 circle and 2 circle?

good stuff

Look at it this way....at least you don't have Jester bailing out on you.....

I always hear Rake (those tools to sweep up leaves) fight

Graphics were amazing on this one!

Mirage against Rafale maybe, Greece will soon have both types...

Cant you try to get in contact with a real swedish gripen pilot and fight in DCS that would be so cool to watch!

"Rate-fight", that would mean "turn-rate fight"...

This may be a stupid question, but after watching so many videos of people flying in DCS, why does every single fight start with a high altitude merge and end up on the deck in a rate fight? Is that how it would work out in real life or is that just the way virtual fighting works out?

That Gripen pilot was utter useless. If you gonna have this at least have people who can Pilot.

Mirage is a french beast 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Your pilot has no glasses. Sun ain't a problem?

So from an F-16 stand point how would you beat the gripen

Any Chance of doing the SAAF Cheetah vs. the Jas39?

Also would like to see Gripen vs Flanker.

Question: What had the better thrust:weight? Few times there I would have turned and burned for energy, assuming equal or greater thrust. Those canards gonna eat you in thick air.

I wonder how accurate these aircraft are. I'm sure the Mirage is probably pretty close to reality but the Gripen, Rafale, F-22 mods don't have the luxury of decades of leaked specifications.

Mirage: delta dagger of the skies. ☠️☠️☠️☠️

When you end up on the deck in the disadvantageous rate fight, can you extend and run before the Gripen starts coming around the circle on you?
