He then created a scape goat named Bogachev, cant remember the rest of his name, and explained that Bogachev was a man that always played by the rules, always did things by the book. Now, he had someone he could yell at when Cap found a glitch, or an issue with the F/A-18 flight model. The video is quite old, but I remember somewhat.

I never understood why a "Missile Truck" great term BTW was not a thing. An E3 AWACs with an accompanied Tanker for dedicated fighter assets as well as a 737 or some such loaded out with 30-50 air to air missiles. All being launched from behind an electronic warfare blur and guided onto target by the AWACs themselves..if the enemy wants to take down those assets then be prepared to loose the better part of one or two squadrons.

That answers all of my questions, except... how were they able to still notch the missiles, with the two AWACS, the two F-35 radars, which are also datalinked, and perhaps even the F-35 DAS, which can also generate weapons quality tracks and share them via datalink? I wonder if the game thinks they can still notch, if they can notch at least one radar? Or I wonder if the game thinks they absolutely have to have the missile's own radar locked in the terminal phase, and that's what they are notching, the missile's radar, not the two AWACS and the two F-35s, which perhaps the game thinks could not provide accurate enough terminal guidance on their own, without the missile radar too?

@@Justanotherconsumer Was thinking more of the backseater to lock the weapons and fire while the pilot is driving the plane and what's actually available in DCS world. My original thought had been F-15E but I don't know if the two seater F-15 is available in DCS.

[@Flojer0]

I'm sure the Reliant Robin a few months back could hit targets better than North Korea's past launch attempts

[@lordbeerus4443]

Now knowing that F-22's can spearhead an attack with their radars, just like AWACs. Data-Link 16 is a lethal advantage. Imagine if the AWACs are deploying Rapid Dragon, once engaging friendly assets are depleted of missiles. These assets just need to get a lock on, to use Rapid Dragon to be an extension of its arsenal. I doubt an SM-6 would be easy for a nasty to defeat once in its radar targeting acquisition range. Old legacy fighters can be used as additional missile trucks.

[@stupidburp]

Could load a B-1B up with long range air to air missiles.

[@whousley]

Maybe if your side staggered their launches so that the baddies have missiles coming at them from multiple directions with nowhere to notch to.

[@stupidburp]

Also, increasing separation could help

[@iamscoutstfu]

It'd be interesting to see this repeated with the trucks spread out, sending in missiles from multiple directions. It'd be a lot hard to notch if, by kinematically defeating one missile, you enter into the ideal envelope of another. Also, what about a fight with NO AWACS but two-three more F35s, which would be more likely in contested airspace. I have a feeling that, with a critical mass of fat Amy's, you might not need an AWACS at all. It's weird that you still have to manually select and then fire on targets. You'd think the tech would be out to auto-lock all targets so the pilot just needs to pull the trigger after selecting from a list.

[@Kaelland]

I'm not sure it's entirely fair to call North Korea's air force "tiny." They have over 570 fixed wing combat aircraft and 180 trainers that could be repurposed into combat aircraft. Compare that to South Korea's inventory of 445 fixed wing combat aircraft and 105 convertible trainers and the North has a strong edge on numbers. Where the North falls behind is technology. While they have some MiG-29s, the bulk of their combat fleet is made up of Chinese-made copies of the MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21. The South still maintains some pretty old fixed-wing aircraft as well, but those are F-5 Tiger II and F-4 Phantom IIs. While the F-4 and F-5 were both introduced in the early 1960s, they would still be very relevant and capable against an air force that's made up largely of MiG-17, -19, and -21 clones. And South Korea also has loads of F-15s, F-16s, and F-35s. I didn't count the 82 KT-1 Turboprop trainer aircraft in the South's "convertible trainers" list, although I suppose I should have since I counted their 20 KA-1s, which are COIN/Light Attack variants of the same aircraft. And I should probably count them all since I also counted among the North's numbers 80 Harbin H-5, which are Chinese-made copies of the IL-28 medium bomber introduced by the Soviet Union in 1950. Still, point being, if the USAF, USN, and USMC assets that are in South Korea were left out of the equation, it might make for a more interesting and possibly less lopsided fight than a lot of people think, at least until KAI starts rolling some of the KF-21 Stealth Fighters off the assembly line and into South Korea's inventory in 2026 (with 120 total on order and expected to be completely delivered by 2032).

[@Maverick0451]

I freaking love all of your videos Grim Reapers!! A common theme that I am realizing, especially on the large scale battles or swarm attacks, is just how vital target deconfliction is!! One force can have three times the weapons needed to accomplish their objectives, but if they over saturate one or more targets, that plan is busted!! I’d be interested to read some thoughts on how modern militaries handle this!! My guess is that targets are assigned, even down to redundancies for misses or potential friendly losses. Even in a sort of weapons free scenario, does it just come down to chatter between friendly pilots, or does the AWACS still try to direct fire? Anyway, thank you for another excellent flight Grim Reapers!!

[@johngodden4363]

I would have thought that the F15EX would have been the ideal missile truck rather than the Super Hornets.

The F15EX can carry up to 22 air to air missiles ( apparently )

[@Appletank8]

the issue is, assuming the opponent has a decent missile, the modern jet can simply track them Spitfires on radar from miles out and fire missiles, then turn around and speed away forever.
