Guys check this link for a table showing what Shrike weapon you need to use to hit specific SAM threats - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRgH8DXRzQc6-ZV17IFFr4axXwvWORmc3BmgIN8LuNpP1QSVQ9eukN1Z2FzjRmmLaSG1XsQkI7392v_/pubhtml

Nice! Thx

[@dnsreload1909]

difference between SA-6 SR and TR?

[@darqen271]

@@dnsreload1909 SR is search radar and TR is Track radar

[@tacticaltoolbox7046]

I like the fact the tutorial is 3-5 minutes. Short and to the pint. Leave the documentary about development and the history to other videos.

[@MrTastyM7]

I know exactly who you are talking about and it shits me, tricker dcs has really great shorts for cold starting everything

I was an Aviation Ordnanceman on the Theodore Roosevelt from 86 to 90. I went to several schools for air launched weapons, the Shrike being one of them. A month later we offloaded every single one for the new HARMs arriving to the fleet in large numbers. Lol never once did I get to work on a Shrike. I had a head full of information I would never use. I did learn a lot about anti radiation weapons in general I suppose.

I'm looking forward for the Tea, Medals and Ladies after the Mission

[@XCougar85X]

This was a lot easier then i thought it would be. Basically very similar to the Sidearm.

[@104thMaverick]

Very similar!

[@thomasclewer]

That F4 Skin is sick, cant wait to see it in the Gen 3 Comp.

[@CrazyHorse104]

I *will* get around to the F-4 (I have purchased it lol) but I need some decent quality time to get to grips with her since work has been full on lately - quality content yet again though Mav cheers!

[@104thMaverick]

Thanks mate! Hope you have fun when the time comes

[@justintv1905]

It looks so easy but my shrikes dont track at all. Only 2 of 40 😂🙈 right seeker, good range and still they dont track.

[@typhonus2]

I have the same problem. Their engines seem to burn out practically seconds off the rail, and they just plow into the ground. I'm set to direct and ARM, I've checked the seekers against the SAM site on which I'm launching, I'm in A/G, and they have solid (screaming) tone before launch. No idea what's wrong.

[@k.esshuu]

@@typhonus2 How do I know what seeker to use?

Angry little squirrel....bahaha perfect 👌

Dang it I wish it was that easy for me. Haha. Great tutorial!

Nice one! This video is exactly what I was after.

Great VIDEO, MAV!! Saw your Deployable FARP Video, good video!! Good to see you doing more! Hope your doing Well- Mongoose | 324th

I love this little ride back in time. Intel was key.

[@l.a.xgunner]

that's good to know, I didn't know about this!

[@MadBomber536]

Where did you get that livery? It's a beauty. And is it available for DL?

[@104thMaverick]

It’s available from the 104th Phoenix Discord

[@TrickerDCS]

This is so crisp

[@104thMaverick]

It’s crisp… it’s clean!

[@kubanskiloewe]

why set to direct instead of AGM-45 ???

[@104thMaverick]

No idea

[@marcosechi8820]

I can't get them to work, they just don't track, and I'm using the right seeker. Is there a known bug that would prevent me from being able to use them?

[@SmokinKipper]

How does the get low and popup work when there are also tons of triple A around?

[@104thMaverick]

Dip, slip, duck, dive, bob and weave … you know… pilot shit

[@SmokinKipper]

How does this work on something like Engimas when I don’t know the type of SAM?

[@104thMaverick]

Get on the radio or server chat and ask people

[@billdewahl7007]

Do you use the jammer pod or does that actually hurt your chances of a hit?

[@104thMaverick]

I’ve never tried using it mate

[@VIPascal_1]

How do i know the right one for a sa 6 or a sa 2. Are there any kinds of tabels?

[@justintv1905]

Mk25 can be possible you dont get a tone. But it will track.

[@SkittZee]

Top Notch !

[@EZ-Bear]

SA-8 Tracking radar is J Band in frequency, two of the missile would never see the target tracking radar, only the search radar. The warhead is plenty to destroy the target, that is ridiculous comment about the warhead effectiveness. The warhead is the size of HARM's.

[@104thMaverick]

Cool story thanks for sharing

[@bradw1808]

Can you tell the range from target, or did you just know via map?

[@104thMaverick]

You have to use the map or distance from a known waypoint mate

[@bradw1808]

@@104thMaverick appreciate the response

[@Stoffe3D]

The shrike doesnt work on newer SAM site right? Like SA-10, TORs, Patriot and such?

[@104thMaverick]

It does mate check the pinned comment at the top for details of which weapon to use.

[@Stoffe3D]

@@104thMaverick ahh cool! Have to test that out!

[@chadvader974]

@@104thMaverick that chart doesnt look right.. sa6 for example, it doesnt use that seeker.

[@104thMaverick]

It’s been tested mate and works, it’s not my chart tho

[@dcbc9619]

hhhhmmmm.... is there a one for one table RF Guidance Unit vs DCS Radar Threat?

[@Inv1ns1bl]

it can only go for stuff like SA-2s (Fansong), SA-3s,(Low Blow) and SA-6s (Straight Flush) As well as the P-15 search radar (Flat Face) . all of these names are specified. Im not sure if the P35 is in the game. You can also look up a specific radar and see which frequency band it goes off , Like the SA-5 Tin shield radar which goes off an E/F band

[@104thMaverick]

See the pinned comment

[@fastfed]

Sucks, doesnt look like any online server will ever use these then.

[@104thMaverick]

You can, I got kills in the Contention server today

[@WilliamBrothers]

lol I was like, what's a Ray Bands? I watched that small few seconds 3 times to understand it was the shades. great!

[@BuddySpike101]

If I didn’t know what SAM I was going after could I just equip multiple shrikes with different bands?

[@104thMaverick]

Yes

[@ralfmo.9]

awesome tutorial mav. But one question is left: how can i find the corret freq band for the diffrent radar types? only via Wikipedia or open docs?

[@104thMaverick]

Check the pinned comment brother

[@primaryworm5]

So what if i don't know what exectly the sam type i'm gonna shoot, which seaker should i get and what about those frequencies, god... a4e shrikes were easier

[@mikesolo4782]

Only problems with the shrike is its about as accurate as throwing a dart at a board 100 yards away.

[@104thMaverick]

It’s still quite buggy at the moment I think ED will do some corrections for it in an upcoming update
