Solo MiG-21 | Dogfight Breakdowns | DCS World

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

Welp, would’ve probably delayed this if I’d known it was going to clash with Heatblur’s bloody Phantom trailer 😅 My god though, do need. Playing DCS between now and whenever it drops is going to feel like the longest wait ever.

[@Kumyar]

F-4E will finally get me seriously into ECW. Suffice to say, i preorder it😅

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

@@Kumyar I’ve not checked the price yet, but it’ll be a day one buy for sure. Don’t really agree with the practice of pre-orders, even if the dev has a perfect record.

[@Kumyar]

@@Bullet4MyEnemy Understandable. But in my defence; the price was more then fair. F-4E module, a shirt of your choosing, F-14 and new F-4E OST vinyls from Meteor for $90. This is the first preorder i did of any DCS modules and ever since Cyberpunk. Im certain i will be more then pleased :)

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

@@Kumyar The discount is certainly tempting

[@Kumyar]

@@Bullet4MyEnemy Come to the Phantom side 😈

[@herbertpocket8855]

The double kill on the A-10’s was amazing

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

the kind of moment you'll recall fondly five, ten, fifteen years later... (for me it was landing a high-deflection shot right into the wing of a P-47 with the antitank Me 262 back in IL-2 1946 some time in the late 2000s)

[@moldy_]

Too right about the 21's gun being hard to lead. I don't know why it's so tough, it's otherwise an excellent gun. Maybe it's the sight and forward vis or something

[@wongarnold2879]

Get close and try to go for a low aspect shot, you have the performance to go high yo-yo and stay behind the enemy combatant

[@krylatich]

It's round velocity. Funnily enough if your opponent is aware of you and knows bfm it is virtually impossible to land shots.

[@wongarnold2879]

@@krylatich yeah I know it has low velocity, But like I said get close and use high yo yo to stay behind you opponent and get a low angle shot. The 21 has the best engine power and can afford to go vertical.

[@nerd1000ify]

I think (been a while since I played DCS) that the gun is actually boresighted to the upper of the two Xs on the fixed grid sight, in other words if you use the main pipper as your reference point you won't pull enough lead. Easy to check by strafing a static ground target. The gyro sight functionality has been broken for years, what I used to do was put the sight in manual ground attack mode and adjust the angle knob to the position labelled ГШ-23 (GSh-23 in English). That puts the pipper in the right spot for the cannon. You can also just aim with the fixed grid sight, but I found it a lot less intuitive and it has a sort of 'haze' effect that reduces your view through the sight glass when you turn the brightness up.

[@wisco-ninja]

good tip for the mig 21, most times Ill pull past where I can see them if we are in a circle, and most times they flight through the burst. Small Bursts are nice but if you can get a solid 1 second burst off by overpulling and letting them fly through most times its a kill

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

This is exactly what I say but fail to do in the video 😅 Do as I say, not as I do. It always catches me off guard just how much lead you need though, I’m sure an old man with a straw could launch the rounds faster…

[@Krak00n]

i dont even play DCS but i love watching these

[@MrakoGears]

Bro literally had a spawn animation behind that A-10, what a cinematic scene!

[@WW2Fr3k]

I love these videos .very organic and cool to hear your mindset

[@rasse30]

Like the content, haven flown that plane so it was cool to see how it handles

[@Erajonit]

Best channel for DCS hands down

[@Lemard77]

You should try on Syria the R-13M and R-13M1 with the 21, after 2.9 they became really good. They have similar range to what the old 9P had, and they can pull more than it specially the R-13M1. If you lead them and choose a good aspect shot the R-60s arent really needed anymore. Now the 9P is short ranged like the 9J, but it turns better up to it's level so they are essentially the same missile now. The one that retains old 9P range with better maneuvering is the new 9P-3 but currently not implemented in the F-5 or F1, only for the latest A-4 version and Viggen in the form of the Rb 24J, it's got reduced smoke too.

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

Teşekkürler.

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

Awesome, thanks man

[@TheSisi37]

Another great video, exactly what I needed with the breakdowns, love to see these!

[@madaxe606]

The muzzle velocity for the GSh-23 is almost 1000 fps slower than the F-5's M-39 or the M-61 Vulcan, so Mag 3 did a decent job of simulating the amount of drop off it has. But also the 3500rpm rate of fire, which is amazing for such a small autocannon.

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

awesome scene with the 2 A-10s

[@nath-hh2ff]

I like the Caucasus more than Syria too. However not a fan of Caucasus when blue is down to their last base. It's pure AirQuake and that I get burned out on real quick. Great video as usual.

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

I do wish they’d reintroduce the top right portion of the map into play, and try to entice people to fight in the mountainous areas a little more. People tend to keep it coastal too much or fight very close to the airbases and it gets a bit manic. Especially annoying for fighters that have to come all the way from Gele once Red get to Sochi, map balance does feel a little bit off.

[@steeltribe3967]

Thanks for sharing. Interesting info.

[@YlmazDALKIRANscallion]

I love this ugly b.stard. My favorite Cold War aircraft.

[@clintcorpceo]

Good vid !! 👍 i enjoyed that very much ! Thanks

[@o_Fusion_]

1:25 can anyone tell me what that little green box in the bottom left is

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

It’s the joystick overlay, showing my control inputs - you can toggle it on and off with Right Ctrl + Enter

[@sebywest3736]

top video,nice aicraft 👍👍👌👌

[@onyx6847]

opinions on the removal of cauc? i dont have maps so it will be sad to see it go.

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

I’m hopeful they’ll bring it back, I think initially it was only removed due to performance issues when 2.9 released, which to my knowledge are largely resolved now. The event they’re planning was meant for Cauc too, at least I think, so fingers crossed.

[@horse1-1]

Literally just found that Cuban camo and was going to make it my go-to, and I was going to be a unique and special snowflake. Darn it

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

I mean, more than one person is allowed to use it, but expect me to call you Tosh if we cross paths lol

[@luizengrazia5169]

Mig21 ftw!!!

[@timothymorgan8254]

Good shit

[@dirkellis9212]

Ya know, one thing the mig 21 is lacking is pilot visibility. It sucks for visibility. Otherwise, seems a reasonable gen 2

[@simonliin]

Nice one, thx :)

[@FR01Z]

Which mig 21 is that?

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

@@FR01Z It’s the 12Bis Though within the sim it’s a bit of a Frankenstein version with access to a few systems and weapons it shouldn’t have - but as far as air to air stuff goes it’s true to the Bis irl.

[@herbertpocket8855]

MiG 21 gang. gang gang

[@dirkellis9212]

Gen 3 😁
