1983 The Invasion Of Grenada | DCS Reenactment Mission

[@charlesc7723]

I was actually there when this happened. Did see Tomcats fly over. AC-130’s were on station the entire time, which was nice. I was pretty close when some A-7’s dropped some five hundred pounders, which will make your knees shake and called in some strafing runs from them too. Good to see an upgraded recreation.

Fine Video! I really like the lay out of this mission - it has everything. A nice touch with the civilian planes. A little training in escort tactics? Being between the transports and the enemy? Nice work of the ground pounders.

Operating from road farp with vstol, very cool

"I have seen some s#+!"".... "Oh..Vietnam?" "Grenada..." "Grenada...didn't that last like 23 hours?" On the other side we get a "Clint Eastwood movie" as the leader of the Marines...so maybe that's why he's "seen some s#+!"

[@Duvstep910]

The grim reapers are just endless hours of entertainment 😁

Highway - "I've drank more beer, pissed more blood, and banged more quiff than all you numb nuts put together."

[@dakotafaillers8588]

I'll send you home with the "I just pumped the neighbors cat look on your face" . Some awsome lines in that movie😂

[@manlaw77]

Hats off to those U.K. aircrews. They were spectacular in the air war!

[@michaelrowland4021]

Cap I know you have a lot of stuff running around in your head. So you might have had a brain fart, you remember the N/A is for Night Attack in the AV8B-NA. You should have use the "NAVFLIR" Sensor and the "ARBS" . The NAVFLIR is mainly used for navigation and target infrared spotting. The ARBS was designed to improve day and night bombing accuracy when operating in the close support role using unguided weapons. Love the video keep up the good work.

[@grimreapers]

Yup always forget about the flir...

DCS WORLD South American Map, When?

[@santiagosepulveda5228]

As always very impressive and very entertaining. Regards

[@robgaunt236]

Cap you are getting really good at the video editing.. Love the bits with Grump

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@irememberjeepz]

That was the longest bit of road you could find? Good video, bad mission creating in terms of the Harrier start.

[@w.a.p.e.9368]

Did you use Vietnam era AIM-7's? :) Sparrow sees MiG-29, runs home to mommy! When is Warsaw pact invasion of Sweden comin'? :)

[@blackhatch46]

Why do you guys fly with your lights on in the enemy AO?

[@Duvstep910]

For easier identification of who is friendly and who is not...strange ik but it works

[@2rhx]

Can you "kill" a parked jet with a dropped fuel tank?

@@grimreapers You really tried everything!

[@KINGSS1919]

That's where my dad is from.

[@manlaw77]

You guys have to do a Falklands war sim using Super Entendars with Exocecets or A4's with Exocets some time. I would also love to see the Grim Reapers also doing fleet defense in the Harriers. Make it happen Cap!

[@grimreapers]

Already planning it, but waiting for the Falklands map to arrive.

[@4192362]

is gunny from heartbreak ridge modelled in dcs?

[@carinhall4508]

No, but Swede is

[@lenn55]

"The United States Marines are looking for a few good men - you ain't it." haha

[@Redemptorchapter]

One of the Marines is the guy from "Anger Management"...Gunny traumatized him...

[@PHILMKD95]

I didn't know Grenada was in the Middle East.

[@c.g.262]

Unfortunately we have to use the maps that are available in DCS, and right now none of them have any good stand off islands. Hopefully with the Falklands and South China Sea maps that will be out later this year will give us a chance to go back and try to remake some of these missions again.

[@cannedcorn9344]

you should do the train destruction from the beginning of Tuskegee airmen the movie called red tails

[@grimreapers]

waiting till we have proper trains worknig

[@PHILMKD95]

*GRENADA!!!*

[@DanielCosta-zp6jl]

And how you know wat Sam is? In pvp you can’t click and see wat they have, any tips ?

[@thumpinator1]

As close as the engagment areas where no shotgun riding ; sweeps and barrier cap from the get with 21 and 29 on the card.

[@Papershields001]

You’ve gotta remember it’s the US Air Force involved in an invasion so we must uphold tradition and accidentally bombing at least 1 hospital. (Note: this did actually happen in Grenada.)

[@grimreapers]

whoopsy

[@davidrobinson8337]

its ovious none of them served..

[@thumpinator1]

The f16 should have gone bar cap with radar the "sparrows" would have a chance then to counter the mig 29 iir loc on. Need to establish Bar cap 15 plud nm out from c130.

[@keep22]

Easy? Der Ha! If Grim Reapers invaded an unarmed island you chimpanzineez would find a way to muck it up! Likely outcome would be Herr Cap killing a friendly und a couple of fighter jets finding a way to crash. (drops mic)

[@grimreapers]

That is NOT fair!!! actually that is fairly accurate.

[@birdman0607]

That story is all lies.... Smfh
