Convoy Bombing Mission In The Persian Gulf | DCS WORLD

[@imdoobie80]

I like the harrier you were flying. The tail insignia is the 2nd Marine Division insignia. I served in the 2nd Marine Division from 2000 to 2003. We were apart of the main invasion force in Iraq.

[@imdoobie80]

@Agent J did you serve in the corps?

[@imdoobie80]

@Agent J so did I. And my unit insignia was similar. And I was in 1/2.

[@imdoobie80]

@Agent J Semper Fi brother.

[@Duffman-zn7ku]

When the entire column of enemy AI forgets about flares, smoke grenades, and engine smoke...

[@sj1461]

Man, the sound of those Mirages... 👌🏼

[@Power5]

yeah, much better than the 737 sounding engine in the harrier for sure.

[@MAJORBURNOUT]

WOW! Great job man! The edit, the flying .. everything. Bravo

[@Pimps-R-us]

I wish the AI was better, they just sit there and wait to be picked off.

[@juliosunga3530]

what are they supposed to do...try to run? the only unrealistic part here is that the convoy has no SPAAG or even ManPads.

[@Power5]

They all seemed to move but I am not sure if you are expecting a 60mph vehicle in the desert to be able to run and hide from a modern jet or something.

[@DessertUnicorn]

Julio Sunga also the way they fly formations is rather unrealistic and it’s triggering my ocd

[@christianmariogreco9330]

The soundtrack, I swear that was used in Ace Combat dude, love it.

[@bordelloparanormale4010]

Yeah, This is the music of when you're in the hangar

[@crimson3shark749]

just loving that I can here assault horizon music in the background that fits perfect

[@eknight101]

4:54 LOL pilot 1: "It goes back to your INS." Pilot 2: "What's INS then?" Pilot 1: 👀

[@havocmwf]

I would have thought that an armored convoy like this one would have had some serious AA cover accompanying it?

[@Gurfi28]

havocmwf AA wouldn‘t suffice to protect that convoy. No sane military commander would ever move such a convoy in broad daylight without air superiority (or at least some serious air cover).

[@RG72TV]

Great clip... love the closing.. Coming home on a short runway.

[@A_Haunted_Pancake]

2:48 - Okay, No more Valium before the Mission, guys ! :'D

[@coronatv519]

The name of this island is Lesser Tunb and it is Iranian Island in Persian Gulf.

[@lancet.346]

I like the 2nd MarDiv insignia on that Harrier's tail.

[@floydlooney6837]

Sir, we are under attack! Pull over and stop! Seriously?

[@jaycal1920]

Yeah AI difficulty set to sleep mode. Play dead.

[@joeschappell7241]

I agree they shouldn't be static, they should have defensive movements

[@Smokeyr67]

That’s actual SOP for vehicle convoys, on air contact you “herringbone” off the road, dismount from softskins and employ any AA weapons. Staying on the road just gives them a nice easy lineup to kill multiple vehicles in 1 pass.

[@GutkowskiMarek]

I'm a bit surprised for the aircraft choice. You took Mirages to do Viggen's job. Good Video.

[@Soulxlight]

Who knows they might not have the Viggens. Buying sell the aircraft are expensive. I have only 5 myself plus the flaming cliff ones.

[@rags417]

Now to a high altitude photo recon BDA mission to confirm all your kills !

[@여의도-m2d]

one kill : The CBU-97 Each submunition contains four hockey-puck-shaped sensor-fused projectiles called Skeets. These detect target vehicles, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks and other support vehicles, and fire a kinetic energy penetrator downwards at them.

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@Steve-ev6ow]

Cap, I’ve talked to my Saudi connection, and he has watched your channel for quite a while. He said the Reapers are welcome to use Saudi Air Force Bases and airspace for your missions. All I ask in return is that you keep the lads as safe as possible - GOOD HUNTING!

[@nakiami5753]

Jim yo. Are there actual Saudi bases in this map am confused. And just wondering what type of person is your contact. Just asking out of curiosity( am Saudi too) xD

[@leew8812]

Naki, no there isn't any RSAF bases on the DCS Persian Gulf map.

[@Steve-ev6ow]

Naki Ami Hey man, how are you? Nah, I have a running narrative with Cap that converts his internet action into real world. So no, I know of no Saudi bases in the game, I am just joking around with him. Other than the billions of dollars I send him for bases, aircraft, maintenance, fuel, men and training, I just sit back and watch the Reapers do their thing!

[@karmakshantivyapini4734]

Jim n

[@karmakshantivyapini4734]

Nice work, except of course the traffic control. I'm more than ever convinced that I avoid being a tank driver at all costs. But 1 Maverick = 1 Tank...would that really be cost effective? The rockets seem like the most (and best) bang for the buck. Was every unit firing at you? Or could you have identified and killed the AAA operators first with the Mavericks?

[@williamhughes205]

Its over for the enemy when they see the warthog lmao

[@cutlass6332]

No defensive countermeasures used? Did you know there were no sams / manpads?

[@legi0n99]

17:30 you got some AA fire, didn't you?

[@ronaldwatson1951]

Great mission the A10 driver that had to screwup in the beginning and just couldn't wait to taxi on a runway. Everyone did well, the harrier's did outstanding and the solid colored marriage

[@Cenils00]

Ronald I made a huuuge misstake in the beginning, thats why comms are important. Though they would callout when rolling so I started taxiing without calling...lol

[@Hootsi]

Watching cap hover is like matching a puppy trying to climb the stairs

[@radioactive9861]

Please excuse me...I am in TOTAL FUCKING SHOCK at the crazy crash on the runway.....WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT????????????????????

[@Tamarodoc]

9:54 gliding missile thats a good idea

[@jackhaffenhoff1365]

Harrier gun pipper; start shooting after the wheel has unwound to the first carrot.

[@EnterpriseXI]

Thinking of the final mission of Ace Combat 04 for some reason

[@jorgealvarez6722]

I've been waiting for you guys to do one of these for some time. Awesome!

[@slysi5209]

Ground attack ? we have done lots.

[@jorgealvarez6722]

In the Persian Gulf Map I mean. Its nice to 'go out' to different locations.

[@slysi5209]

ah I see yes indeed. You can look forward to more locations now. I really want to do a WW2 Normandy invasion mission soon

[@jorgealvarez6722]

It would be great to see how different teams and servers will deal with the multi-role capabilitites of the F/A 18. CAS and CAP may be a bit of a blurry line once its fully featured. Naval Ops would be nice to see when you guys have a chance - Start from a carrier and move inland.

[@robsnizzle7]

God I can't wait to get my computer running for this game. Love the sinister music btw. Lol🤙😎

[@Terra85]

11:00 did u hear that sonic boom?

[@reillybrangan2182]

Afterburner ignition

[@Terra85]

it sounded fucking awesome regardless

[@reillybrangan2182]

It sure did

[@zenoemenhemdeslappeslang346]

If it was a Sonic boom you would've not heard the engine before it since the aircraft would be traveling faster than the speed of the sound then.

[@AnnatarCarvour]

Can hear the Ace Combat assault horizon music theme in there an the Aliens theme at the end lol.

[@Brimmlinn]

Using rockets on heavy armor like a tank is not going to do much of anything to it. Right tool for the job produces better results.

[@samuelspiers9855]

Blasting the top deck of a tank with even modest munitions is usually worth doing.

[@machinech183]

That deeply depends on the sort of rocket munitions used...several sorts have more then enough penetration to do disabling if not lethal damage. "Zuni" with the MK 32 MOD 0 warheads would do the trick nicely

[@ricardobornman1698]

Good Mission. Hi Cap, hope you feeling better.

[@rackbites]

Tail ... the killer of tanks ...

[@jcn115]

At 6:33, looking up, man you need to change that canopy that is a lot of crazing in that transparency. And at 11:41, the sound of the Harrier’s engine is when the engine is at idle on the ground.

[@atlaz_g_dogzephyrphoenix3718]

Some of that music they used is from AC AH.

[@suparosc02]

15:56 BRRT BRRRRRRRRT

[@ALexpWTFISTHAT]

yess i was waiting for that

For everyone saying "GR you should have used CBU97 Cluster bombs" This is why we try not to use them in missions. 1 x A10C with CBU97's kzbin.info/www/bejne/el7Vm5yKqc6Cn9U

[@nielsmallant2710]

Thanks for all the awesome content ;)

[@RonakDhakan]

The music and camera angle make it more interesting. The missions / enemies should be more difficult though.

[@-knight-7008]

Great mission man..

[@TheHDReleaser]

so you got up the click in cockpit by Lalt+C, but when I do it, the mouse yellow cross apears, but It dosnt let me click anything. how did you do it?

What VR headsets are you using looks GREAT!

What gpu do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

[@amdelt]

@@aliacf8518 it might be your processor or ram.. since gtx 1060 can surely handle this game...

[@gregpruitt1647]

This is going to be a stupid question. But, for your mouse pointer, are you using a mouse, or the mouse pointer on your HOTAS? If its the pointer on the HOTAS, how do you bind the pointer?

[@grimreapers]

Left alt+c mouse

[@gregpruitt1647]

I have an X55 HOTAS. The X55 has a small nipple-like nub on the right side of the throttle. I am asking how to make that little nub to function as a mouse pointer. I am right handed. So, I hold the stick in my right hand. In order to use cockpit controls, I must release the stick in order to use the mouse as a pointer. It would be nice to use the nub on the throttle located on my left side and there by not have to release the stick in my right hand. If you use an X55, you know what I am referring to.

[@tom434911]

@@gregpruitt1647 Two options come to mind - in the hotas software, make the x and y axis of the throttle "nub" function as the mouse x and y axis, and one of your hotas buttons to a left click. I have a CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle, and I was able to do this in my Control Manager profile. I haven't used it though. I ended up preferring to just use the mouse. If needed, I take my left hand off the throttle and hold the stick in place with the left hand while I use the mouse with the right hand. Making sure you are trimmed properly helps. You should be able to take your hand off the stick for a second or 2 without issue. Second option - the one I plan to use when I get into a full fidelity module - buy a cheap left-handed mouse and put it somewhere easily reached by your throttle hand.

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

Is the f18s munitions easier to use then the su25? I can't figure out how to lock on stuff or anything. Only use cannon

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

Bought the F15 and love the game. Put up a stream on twitch and a guy came in and helped me

[@eistynlewis6923]

its makes perfect sense that a a10 warhoag and a harrier are attacking a challenger 2 convoy in the gulf

[@risingsun9595]

Lol that's not a Challenger 2 convoy, it's Merkavas.

[@eistynlewis6923]

it has many of the same details as it

[@eistynlewis6923]

@@lethaface9883 it does from my prospective plus an a10 attacking a merkava's where is the reason in that

[@EvilBonsai]

@@eistynlewis6923 Why not? You can make whatever missions you want. Plus, gun kill would be much harder than apc/ifv. Makes as much sense as any/all these specific planes attacking a convoy together. Also, those 2 tanks ARE pretty similar, much like a cat has 4 feet and a tail, so obviously must be a skunk.

[@dillonhonore3579]

Can you get Harriers to buddylase GBU-12s from F18?

[@fredricknietzsche7316]

If only there was an anti armor cluster bomb in DCS!

[@slysi5209]

There are: The A10C can carry the - CBU 97 or the CBU-105 WCMD (a 97 with the Wind Corrected Munition Dispenser ) The Russians carry the RBK dispensers - there not as powerful The Viggen as the BK90 - its still being worked on at the moment it just delivers a single explosion instead of a clustered one. The M2000C has the BLG 66 Belouga - again still being worked on doesn't pack much of a punch yet. We try not to use them because 2 A10C's with 4x97s each would have killed that entire convoy in one pass - 2 min videos make Cap angry ;)

[@kirtanloorii]

Sarcasm.

[@rodschmidt3498]

One A-10 with one pass of accurately deployed CBU-87s and this mission would have been over in about 15 seconds. Or one high speed, low pass from Static in her Harrier loaded with Snakeyes.

[@slysi5209]

97s or 105s, 87s or 103 are anti-personnel - we tend to avoid using clusters - short vids make Cap angry ;)

[@rodschmidt3498]

You're right! I meant to say CBU-97s.

[@Senbatorii]

Would've defeated the mission's purpose of teaching guys how to use the Mavericks in the Harrier

[@Drvnwolfie]

LOL Tail, weren't ou the one that crashed on the Runway?? That must have been some good training, remind me not to go to that school :p

[@chrisbeasley6992]

Use CBU 97s on convoys

Yep 97s or 105s would be the munition of choice but would make for a short video ;)

More since 2.5 released but not so many I cant play SP, try doing a repair using the dcs_updater.exe tool

Someone said something about repairing his vehicle. Is that real thing in DCS? I would love to be able to use the same aircraft for a while but have to repair damage from combat, the strain of G’s etc even if it is computer simulated. I don’t want to actually do the repairs myself, I want a flight sim not a mxs sim lol

[@GordonSeal]

Is the AI always this bad in DCS? In real life they wouldn't just sit there, they would move into that small town to get at least some cover among the buildings and make the attack angle harder through the mountain.

Probably not, Tail was brand new to the A10C as he mentions in this video, also all of those gun runs were low angle. Really want to be doing high angle gun runs against Armour, hit them in the top where they are weakest and where you can maintain a good gun attitude, 30 degree dive for the win
