Ammunition Depot STRIKE the OLD FASHION way - Operation Penetrate Turkey - Mission 02

[@Jabbers]

In this mission we plan our engagement to strike a ammunition depot. Discuss future plans and attacks and do a quick debrief using Tacview to end the Sortie! I hope you enjoy, and please leave your feedback in the comments below!

Look up dcs liberation, see my first video for the link

[@HighAspect]

nice, good to see a strike mission

[@broworm1]

Being mostly an FA-18 ground pounder, it's fun to watch your mentality, and still go out of your comfort zone and get some CCIP in! As for some perspective on the 'campaign map', I think I'd get a bunch of F-16C's and FA-18's to get SEAD/DEAD on the first line of enemy AD, mostly around Minakh, heavily escorted by F-15C's. Then for subsequent waves, the Hornets can strike the infrastructure while AH-64's escort a ground push to get that first objective nailed down, again, BARCAP from F15s etc, while the F16C's continue whittling down SAMs on the next line of defense. As for the SA-11 threat circle on your SA page, AFAIK they stay visible even if they're killed that mission, though should be gone if you start the mission with it previously destroyed.

Great flyin' Jabbers. Love that F-16 canopy and cockpit. Beautiful bird.

[@spudicous]

I've been playing a bit of liberation, and in my experience you want a whole bunch of tanks. Things that can throw ATGMs are good too (ATGM stryker and m2 Bradely are my go-to's) but tanks are what can kill everything in front of them and push the frontline foward quickly. I generally set them to aggressive or breakthrough, but admittedly haven't experimented with exactly what the best movement options are.

[@pchappy2.0]

You blame the wind on your landing, I blame the standby attitude indicator lol! Kidding, had to poke at you after the last video. I did one small campaign with Liberation and loved it, glad to see you enjoying and making some content!

[@Jabbers]

Lol on take off I eye balled that knew it might trigger someone so I left it 😂

[@falcos]

When you talked about playing blue flag it brought back some memories of our days in RvE

[@Jabbers]

The good ol RvE days :)

[@Skilly_J]

I remember you mentioned you wished you could Declutter the HSD, if you're talking about the SAMs you can hit CTRL, then go to Page 2 and click SAM and that'll get rid of those SAM indicators, it helps clear up the HSD a ton.

[@Jabbers]

Nah wish i could declutter the Radar the most

[@jep1103]

Nice vid....really enjoyed your f14 ones back in the day, not seen much of u since then....to long away, your vids are excellent.

[@Jabbers]

Ya sorry just not feeling dcs these days

[@jep1103]

@@Jabbers no worries mate, think we all go through these periods. Hope u get your mojo back very soon 👍✊

[@devin325]

I am really enjoying this series, its awesome! I like the face cam too. It actually helped me notice that my sensitivity is not high enough for my trackir and that I am turning my head too far. What do you use for zooming in? I bound Zoom View axis to my pinky scroll on my TWCS Throttle but it zooms out too far when trying to return to normal after zooming in. Its always an issue for me when trying to spot targets.

[@Jabbers]

I use the friction knov on my warthog

[@ericandi]

I use TrackIR Z axis for zoom. I have the Z axis set up an pretty steep with a pretty steep curve. So when I move my head about an inch forward, my pilot moves forward in his seat about a foot. So moving my head forward just a couple inches gives me a really close up view of whatever controls I want to get a closer look at. For zooming in on stuff that’s outside of the cockpit, I have “Zoom In Slow” and “Zoom Out Slow” mapped to a 2-way hat on my flight stick. I can also use the zoom on my flight stick to get a closer look at things in the cockpit, but for me it’s more natural feeling just move my head a inch or 2 forward and let TrackIR do it’s thing.

[@rafaelramalho6460]

Didn't expect another video so soon, it was great! Just a thought, wouldn't be better to manually arm the SEAD/DEAD flights with AGM-88C, instead of relying on Harriers with AGM-65? With that, you could leave the Harriers in a more of CAS role. But then again, great series, hope to see more soon!

[@Jabbers]

Ya I agree

[@VladimirNussem]

you forgot to take the travel pod :P

[@trevoC132]

huh a flying game.... I googled "operation penetrate turkey" for other reasons.

[@AA43560]

It would be really cool to see a Liberation playthrough with a more primitive aircraft like the MiG21

[@Jabbers]

I tried with the f5 with some friends, didn't enjoy it

[@HighAspect]

@@Jabbers mostly because the AWACS just isn't very good in DCS. But I'd like to try a 80's type scenario with Sparrows, etc..

[@spudicous]

@@HighAspect I've been playing '70s and '80s scenarios with Tomcats (most of my flights only left with one or two Phoenixes). Its pretty damn fun and I can't wait to keep going.

[@ericandi]

Which is the best BVR air superiority fighter in DCS? How about the best guns only dog fighter? How about the best ground attack fighter, out of these 3 fighters?

[@Jabbers]

Depends on the pilot for all 3

[@wrmay80]

I want to fly one of these missions with you. I can F/A-18 all day!! Pick me pick me.

[@Jabbers]

Might be fun to setup a flight night, I could run a coop mission on my server machine and include srs as well

[@S3NTRY]

I wonder why the system doesn't update time from GPS? I thought that was how that was meant to work. Or not work, I guess.

[@Jabbers]

Ya I'm blaming that on Early Access

[@S3NTRY]

@@Jabbers Makes sense.

[@TheRyno001]

Did you have any issues getting the files installed? On mine everything seems fine until I click “take off.” Then it says the .miz file doesn’t exist. I don’t know how to get it to work. I tried reinstalling Liberation. I tried manually creating the .miz file but it still doesn’t work.

[@EazyeSAE]

Check to make sure Liberation is looking at the correct mission directories. I had issues because mine defaulted to DCS stable but I always fly Openbeta.

[@Jabbers]

Nope no issues :( is dcs liberation pointed to your install properly?

[@TheRyno001]

@@Jabbers yea it seems to be. I’ll give it another go at reinstalling. Thanks.

[@Trison34]

Any idea why my tacview files are messed up ( 2kb size and no data) I tried to ask on main page but still not getting access to forums.

[@Jabbers]

I had that issue, got the latest version of tacview and reinstalled fixed it

[@Trison34]

@@Jabbers Thanks man

[@MrDagobert666]

The Problem in my Campaign (after watching Tacview) is that 90% of my Air loses are my AI Pilotes driving there Jets into the ground. I lose 2 to 5 Jetzt so every single Turn. Also long as ED is not doing anything about that stupid stupid AI, Libirarion is not Playebel...

[@spudicous]

That's weird, I don't remember ever having an AI hit the ground undamaged. Most of my aircraft losses involve the AI being stupid in other ways such as flying slow at like 5000 feet in the middle of enemy territory or choosing to go cold on enemies that are right next to them, combined with their complete inability to fly at low level makes them pretty unreliable in situation where every loss matters.

[@jungletroll3844]

@@spudicous yea my AIs dont usually hit the ground they just get sniped by an SD-10

[@ThroteCHOP]

What is that briefing software?

[@SkrufiMonki75]

If you talking about the end he is using TACVIEW software.

[@ThroteCHOP]

@@SkrufiMonki75 Thanks for the reply! But sadly I'm referencing the software used during the brief at the beginning, not the debrief at the end. Never seen it before.

[@SkrufiMonki75]

@@ThroteCHOP @ThroteCHOP Ahhh where he is setting up the mission. That is DCS Liberation, he has a video prior to this one (Operation Penetrate Turkey Mission 01) that goes over it a bit more in depth. It's not really a how to but gives you a good idea about what its all about!
