15:02 looking further into it, it was an EA-6B Prowler not an A-6 Intruder that crashed into the wire. Granted the Prowler is just the remodeled & refitted for electronic warefare Intruder. And the tail did suffer severe damage, but the plane was still able to be landed.

Maybe the Russians could dust off what Yak-38s are left in mothballs and deploy them to Ukraine because those aircraft were just - so good. (Yes that is sarcasm.)

I flew with 12 pods of LUU 3 on the wing pylons. On Continuous it only fires one pair of stations. In other words, only 6 Luu3 at a time. On Salvoe, it dumps the whole load, all Rx pods emptying at the same time in a 5 second burst. That is the way. On the F-18, there used to be CRV-7 rockets in pods of 19. The CRV 7 easily went supersonic (I tink it went about mach 2 at burnout). You could load 8 on an F-18. Not many got the chance to dump those on salvoe. It was sort of a reward after a gun camp, I think, to those that done gud. They don't use the CRV 7 anymore because of its short range and low level delivery. There were also flechette and penetrator rod warheads, even some to go through a hardened aircraft shelter.

It would be cool that they have B-17 but all your online friends man the guns. That would be intense.

This video was a lot of fun to watch. Very entertaining...just awesome. Keep trying. You all get so close to the end .

Once the dust up between ED and Razbam is settled and I know they will support the modules, I am getting the Mirage and the South Atlantic map. Maybe even the AV8B. But not until I am sure

So what it comes down to is the F-15E should have starred in "Top Gun:Maverick"

Can we do american 2027 vs russian 2027... russian tugboat and all?

Hi, Argentine here. I dont think we will actually send the Super Etendards! they arent in serviceable conditions and are desperately wanted by our navy, so yeah for now you wont really see ukrainian Super Etendards

Could a phantom stop the british ?

Thank you for doing what you do here Cap. I really appreciate all the tutorials. I also hope you're doing very well. Cheers!

Boring

Interestingly, in Cap's video on INS drift from a few years ago, the Mirage had an outstanding INS.

Americans call every triangle shaped aircraft Dorito. It's annoying. It was fine for the A-12, but they cancelled it.

29:11 Sukhois do the cobra, mirages do the break dance.

*Confused Japanese noises*

Imagine how fucked Russia is in the Black Sea when Ukraine get Exocet launching Super Entendards! XD

now i imagine Cap growing up with a Super E, instead of a teddy bear.

New Grim Reapers Motto: "Confusing and Dangerous"

will the S400 ever be patched from pretend specs to utter crap? :) Ukraine seems to nibble away at russian SAM.

Day 2 of asking for the recreation of the OP Rolling Thunder attack on the Dragon Jaw bridge.

That was fun!!

How many of each were sunk

IMHO, the reason Ukraine is getting several different types of aircraft is political. This will make it difficult for Ukraine to have a complete and effective air arm due to different training, different aircraft maintenance requirements, different pilot training and different tactics for each aircraft. This will take a degrees of heat off the Russians who, hopefully, will be less inclined to resort to the nuclear solution. If, for example, Ukraine got the Grippens, pilots are already trained, ground crews are already trained, logistics were most likely, on paper, established and weapons are mostly already on hand. This would and hopefully did cause the Russians to soil their pants. It's politics pure and simple, Gen Hodges is correct in saying, give Ukraine what they need to win and my spin on this is, and watch the mushroom clouds sprout, hopefully not.

The bombs didn't release until your path marker was in the bracket (aka you were flying level). That didn't happen until the ccip mark was past the targets, so they fell long

I understand the anti Russian pro Ukrainian sentiment, but keep it real guys lol, WW2 tech is better then Russian tech in the simulations al of the sudden loll 😂

This mission was great, it just needs to be recalibrated, readjusted, reoriented, and perhaps retried!

As a prior aircraft maintainer, it hurts me to see you belly land them and say "they'll fix it". Spoken like a true pilot.

Cap thanks for explaining the mission on geographicaly correct map first..it made my little monkey brain so satisfied ☺

How do I get PL-12 in the J-11? I can’t figure it out and it’s about to piss me off 😂😂

Nice try boys!

"Spouses and nose pickers"... 😄

Mission Failed but big mouth

to bad there is one adding yachts and stuff in a assets mod

Thank you so much for doing these tutorials! The in-game lessons are so badly done, they don't explain anything, or even what any of the acronyms and abbreviations on cockpit instruments and controls stand for - we aren't all real Apache pilots so how are we supposed to know? Lol. Maybe there's a manual somewhere I need to find and read... probably. Anyway, I have spent a couple of weeks learning to fly helicopters in MSFS just so I could take-on the Apache, and I finally am and yeah... I needed help! So thank you again, great work, sir! Edit: Found the manuals. Now I know that "WAS-up the gun" doesn't mean I have to say "wassss uuuup" when I aim at enemies, not that I even know how to aim at this point. Excited to learn a completely new aircraft!

The mirage 2k can also carry storm shadows which will probably be its main purpose, the super eetendard if they are sent will probably be modified to do the same.

Do it Alain but with sweden uboats rudsians hade an aiircraft carrier

Hi cap. The SUE was a 1970 upgarde plane base on the Etendart IVM. In the nose you have the Agave radar, for naval attack. SEM (super etedanrt Modernise) was the last version of the French Navy. We buy all of her remaining planes and spare parts. Many of the SEM, do not have remaining hours flyable. As far I known, the Frencha didn´t have any spare parts.

Planes at Pearl Harbor and Manila were not only ill equipped to handle Zeros. Bungling the whole intelligence thing, from Washington's failure to believe a European intelligence source about Dec 7 & Pearl Harbor, the failure to ensure that decoded Japanese signals existed and were distributed, to ignorance about available technology, ignoring radar warnings, and bigotry & contempt for an adversary's capabilities, thinking the Japanese couldn't see properly, left only luck, that saw the aircraft carriers far from the danger, that keep the Americans in the war The lower ranks were, as usual, the ones to willingly pay the price. Wishfully dreaming about having a futuristic aircraft without considering that the opponent might also have a better plane is a waste of time and energy. There are so many possible variables that to chose one is stupid. The past is what it is and cannot be changed.

I love sweden even campare itself to usas best aircraft and shoot Downey usas aircraftcarrier with a sub so funny

Those Mirages look good in Ukrainian digi-camo! Another way the UrAF could use the Etendard is as a buddy refueler for the Mirages, enabling long range strikes against Russian targets in Crimea and/or Kerch. (Could the GR simulate such a strike?) France also retired their Etendards in 2016, don't know the material readiness of them but could possibly be part of a deal for Ukraine or possibly used as repair parts.

The sub base would have taken out the carrier before they launched their first plane.

"Everything's going swimmingly Boys" Cap. Tonight. Here we go.....

They could use them as second line aircraft for the super e, for training, or other none front line combat role like interception in west Ukraine ... Even tho they are slow

That’s the whole problem with Ukraine. They are getting odd numbers of aircraft and combat vehicles from numerous countries. Their logistics must be a nightmare.

Hey I got an idea: How about "rat pack" teams, where each member is using a different jet and a specific part of the mission? Be cool to see all the jets showcasing their strengths/roles, in the same mission.

Les bombessß dans les visages sil vous plait.

What happened when this conflict is all over and Russia wins the war? Are you guys gonna reenact any stuff with the Russians how they won the war over Ukraine and the world?

I wondered about the number of planes but they do not have many left. So maybe have one small strike group. UK cannot even afford to maintain the earlier version of Typhoon I heard.

Nice to see you guys fly the Mirage ! That delta wing always makes for beautiful shots, especially with Simba leading the pack, losing altitude belly up ! I have seen Mirage pilots training a lot when I was a kid, even breaking the sound barrier and its nice to finally see a full mission with them. Personally, even though getting used to seeing them, I always thought that if I was an enemy trooper on the ground and saw a squadron of Mirage coming up, that delta shaped wing adds up to the "put the fear of God in you" of any fighter jet. And damn that plane is loud ! I once have been flyby-ed by two groups of six (at about 400 feet AGL) and I was totally s**t scared, if you'll pardon my french. Anyway Cap, do not try to "justify"/"apologize" for failure. To quote the great Adam Savage, failure is always an option. I dont think people realize how many planes you guys try to get the mastery of, but it IS impressive. And I guess any real pilot would confirm training regularly is key to success. Switching airframes so often cant be easy and we thank you for trying, and succeeding with such apparent ease most of the time ^^ Also, I'd love to see an air to air skirmish opposing Mirages to US fighters, outside of our beloved Thunderdome arena ;-) Last, but not least, the Rafale is supposed to be a much better, more versatile, more appreciated airplane compared to the old Mirage - although quite expensive, at about the same price per unit as the F35B. Is it available in DCS ? Will it be ? As far as I can recall, I haven't seen it in GR videos... Good hunting !
