On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

If you want to stay in the fight longer, feel free to use the laser-guided Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System (APKWS) rockets. You can carry up to 49 of these “Mini-Mavs” with a T-Pod to laser-guide them into the target. It maximizes time-on-target. 👍

Interesting fact about Apache loadouts. The rocket pods would be places on the outside, not the inside, like what was shown. The smoke from the rockets can affect the engines negatively.

My father was so close to being put into that mission, if you’ve seen the movie, the man on the table bleeding out from an artery in his leg was my fathers roommate. He was incredibly lucky to not be drafted in, and I pay respects to everyone who lost their lives that fateful day and night

[@raginasiangaming910]

Since the F35 didn't exist in at the time of the Battle of Mogadishu, that's a safe bet. However, that was also around 30 years ago so a lot has changed.

Now THAT was a display of force 👊😎

[@LonewolfeE5]

The gun run was so flawlessly A-10 from the causal tone to the sounds from the ground angle. Hearing that turbine scream and seeing the flares like "hey guys I got you covered" hits a OIF/OEF era vibe.

[@stinkyfungus]

The battle of mogadishu was already one sided as hell. The rangers, Delta, and 10th mountain, and 160th SOR, inflicted casualties FAR out of proportion to their numbers, While sustaining casualties way below what should have been expected considering the disparity in numbers. a Hog (or the AC130, THAT WAS REQUESTED) orbiting the battle area would have been... excessive if they actualy fired shots (the Somalis may not have gotten as bold if there had been heavy armed assets above...)

[@demanischaffer]

The "denied forces' were scapegoats. an AC-130 would've denied the airspace for the AH-6s which were able to clear entire streets and perform danger close strikes. an AC-130 sounds like a great idea till you see how built up Mogidishu is and how danger close a lot of the littlebirds had to get

Hello man, yes I will always put the links for mission in the video descriptions (can't guarantee how long they stay up but I do my best) if you ever see me not sharing a mission its because I can't either I'm not allowed to share the mission by the mission creator, or there are assets or mods in the mission that I'm not allowed to distribute due to licensing issues, but whenever I can share I will.

[@Delzona]

You should start doing some of these types of mission using the F35 since it's supposed to take on the A10s missions in the future.

[@Stinger522]

The HARM missile is actually a waste of a wing station because you have to keep the enemy radar looking at you in order for it to home in. Mavericks on the other hand don't care if your radar is emitting or not.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

actually HARMS (I think the D variant and onward) can hit the GPS coordinate of the radar emission even if it turns off. This is why mobile SAMs like the Sa-6 were built/are popular.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I was watching a video on the Warthog this week, and they demonstrated a helmet-mounted monocle that the targeting pod slaves to, so you can "shoot where you look" like the Apache gun. Does the DCS version have that capability?

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

yes, this was the system I was using in this video. I look where I want, drop a marker called a SPI or sensor point of interest, and then the TGP slaves to it, once I've identified this as a target, I can pull up MAVs for example and they will also slave to that SPI point and then you're free to engage at will, this is actually what you saw when I engaged the 3 BMPs with 3 Mavs in this video.
