AJS37 Viggen: RB-75 For Air To Air Use Tutorial | DCS WORLD

[@roofortuyn]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!

[@berkeyazc1803]

AIM-9X for air to ground use, it is capable in real life.

[@fonglebomngle163]

Dont think so in real life its only for AA use

[@onenerdarmy]

@@fonglebomngle163 you need to update your knowledge, they are now multiple iterations of 9X that can tackle ground targets - Navy really wanted something that could take out an IRGC speedboat even if the fighter in the area only has A2A missiles. There were A2G sidewinder experiments in the Vietnam war, this is a long-standing capability.

[@grimreapers]

will try

[@Stahlwollvieh]

Yeah even the R60s on the MiG-21 supposedly have AG capability, as long as you find yourself a reasonably hot target. I also did use AIM-9Ps successfully against groundtargets in the past using my F5, since you can just dumbfire them.

[@dalebachman2892]

@@grimreapers Actually, Just to chime in... In Randy Cunningham's book "Fox Two" (Yeah, I know... He did go to prison for taking bribes but he was the leading ace of the Vietnam War. ) He mentions how he got a lock on a truck that probably needed a valve job with a Sidewinder. He fired the missile and it did guide destroying the truck and probably several other trucks carrying supplies along the Ho Chi MInh Trail. (If I recall correctly.)

[@Maeyanie]

Even if they do see it coming, you're right, having to go cold that far would put them way out of position. I could see that being a really useful tactic.

[@andreartymiuk]

With A10c the maverick is my weapon of choice against Helos !

[@Streaml1neJMoose]

The A-10C is now the best A2A fighter :)

[@grimreapers]

copy will try that soon

[@grendul4497]

Why do I feel like those that thumbs down these videos are the same folks who show up to the party of the year and sit in the corner complaining how bad it is while no one talks to them.

[@grimreapers]

lols yes silly boys

[@Ventura60kts]

I was skeptical but that's very cool

[@romakrelian]

Using a plane like this would make the most sense in the Metal campaign, where low tech planes become a necessity due to cost. I'm enjoying the revival of the Coffee campaign, but I do look forward to seeing the Metal campaign return, mostly because I am a nerd for numbers.

[@grimreapers]

[@indigo5180]

Next video: Killing planes with the bk90

[@grimreapers]

lol

[@andreartymiuk]

Interesting the target was dropping flares ! He must have GOOD eyes !!

[@bmw540i]

Andre ARTYMIUK bloody AI and their robot eyes lol

[@grimreapers]

yup

[@Maeyanie]

I found that interesting too. Flares wouldn't help much against a Maverick, but it's actually sensible for the pilot to see a missile without RWR, assume it's IR-guided, and drop flares.

[@am17frans]

I really enjoy seeing Cap in the Viggen. Realated question to the F-16 video and the risk of disappointment; is there any aircraft in DCS were Cap felt "meh" about beforehand, but really enjoy flying? I get the impression Viggen is such a case.

[@grimreapers]

Viggen. Sabre. F-5. Mig-21. Mainly for the Fun factor than actual usage.

[@The_Real_Pimpaho]

How can you say " meh " about the Viggen? It is fast, has so many capabilities and once you master the bk 90's you have such a blast.

[@PaletoB]

😮 never tried it on fighters before, maybe worth a try.

[@silbervogel8548]

Does it still working in actual patch? Can lock, but seeker doesn`t track aircraft(

[@grimreapers]

Will try when I get a sec thx

[@CAL1MBO]

Doesn't work anymore

[@Blu0tuth0ninja]

Ive gotten locks with the harrier ir mavericks on manuevering targets, but the lock is broken off the rail.

[@shaydenwoods2894]

Dope flight

[@DemonLordGamingAC0]

Hey the anti-ship Maverick is almost a mini-phoenix then :D

[@Jar0d_races]

Cap what’s the Junior GRs invite

[@grimreapers]

speak to Rage Infest in main discord please, I'm not actually sure.

[@fenny1578]

These things (were? are?) borderline broken as fuck Cap. There's webms and tacview videos of them missing targets and coming back around 180 degrees to miss again, then doing it AGAIN to smash into the target they have locked. If you ever watched Robotech, that's what these missiles are from when it comes to air-to-air.

[@Duchovicius]

Mavericks vs F14. 😮 Now I saw everything...

[@dalebachman2892]

I'm a bit confused. It looks like you are shooting down fighters with what is essentially a maverick missile which is a air to ground missile. Would this be a cheat in DCS world? Is it even possible to shoot down a fighter in the real world with a maverick? Thanks in advance.

[@lordfarquaadgaming9316]

Yes but they would have to be quite close and fairly slow

[@luisdunfordgavira]

the vbest use for them on air targets is helos as Enigma also showcased on his KZbin channel, and with the way the missles work is does make sense it's just a little dubious is all :)

[@0Ignition0]

Every missile in DCS leads their target

[@Maeyanie]

Yeah, but if you put a bit of lead on the shot with the plane, the missile doesn't have to do a sudden turn as soon as it comes off the rail. I doubt it would matter much with a long-burn missile like this though.

[@0Ignition0]

@@Maeyanie an AGM-65 shouldn't lead, as most (all?) infrared missiles.

[@AttiliusRex]

@@0Ignition0 Aim-9 and some versions of the maverick leads the target according to the propotional navigation principle, its not an intercept, and its not chase, its something in between, which is extremely easy to implement with IR/optical sensors
