DCS World at its Finest! | AV-8B Harrier II Anti-Ship Strike

[@noahmoore2684]

Sick formation flying by your Wingman. Want to see her in more videos.

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

I've noticed her in a few videos I've watched this week. I wondered if it was in fact a woman or a young guy but didn't want to ask. Either way, pretty cool. Loving these videos Spud, keep 'em coming...

38 years in 2 Air Forces, that chick seems the real deal.. BZ

"If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing." -Chuck Yeager I'd say your landing qualifies as outstanding!

[@v_seraphim_v]

Nice to see you giving the harrier some love

[@JayDKBGames]

Man you fly everything, I have everything but can't fly half of them with any kind of effectivness.

[@Spudknocker]

Jay DKB Games well I was thinking of making a video on swapping between air frames would you be interested?

[@JayDKBGames]

@@Spudknocker Anything DCS related Im in, the sim is crazy cool

[@wraith444]

3:36 if that counts as bouncing, you don't want to see my attempts at formation flight...

[@antoniomora1906]

Any chance to get a download link for this mission? Great video as always, keep it up (y)

[@EvisceradorSC2]

Flawless mission there. Someday I'll join you guys in one flight, that will be wonderful.

[@Spudknocker]

Join us when you're ready! You can join my discord at any time! Did you watch Part 1?

[@EvisceradorSC2]

@@Spudknocker I haven't seen it yet but don't worry it is in the list! Thank you for your invitation, as soon as the world returns to normal and I have a little more spare time I will join for sure.

@@Spudknocker i will join when I can get self-defense and dogfighting somewhat down

[@hybridscout0134]

Apparently that f-14 didn't do a good landing 😂

[@welsh2266]

Was the enemy ships self defence turned off mate?

[@Spudknocker]

Cymro1970 the SAM’s were they were meant to represent a Davamand class destroyer which is a WW2 destroyer still in service with the Iranians

[@TheSuperslicks]

Nice mission, Ruined only by annoying Ads

[@charlessmalling9903]

I want to see at least 1 video where gamers speak real fast and in terse tones like real aviators...lol. NOT. I like being able to understand the conversation and teamwork. Great flying, BTW.

[@VideoUser3053]

Another great one. Do you use TrackIr?

[@VuLamDang]

What a shame Harrier can't carry Harpoon even in BOL mode :'(

[@fotodavidrodriguez]

nice mission! i love the harrier

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

That speed break check was choice wingman work.

[@ayeitsgerry_5517]

Hey m8 mind saying what those weather settings were? Looks beautiful

[@Spudknocker]

its just daytime, a little wind, overcast and raining

[@cs512tr]

so much better than midday clear skies like 99.9% of MP servers out there.

[@eclair404]

Last time I was this early Spud pinned my comment (Stay safe)

[@dart5722010]

Hmu if you want to fly with a viggen/harrier pilot in your wing. My rb 15s would have made quick work of this.

[@kahlrhoam6769]

I’m digging the smoldering Warthog back there!👍🇺🇸

[@thomheg]

For a foreigner it’s not so easy always to hear the radio communication. I’m trying to learn the basics in DCS. Could you make a video with subtitles maybe?

[@Spudknocker]

Thomas Heggem potentially that would just involve hours and hours of work to transcribe everything said in the videos

[@Atv821]

The automatically generated subtitles work pretty well.

[@thomheg]

Atv821 oh. Great! I’ve never used this option before. Thanks for the advice:)

[@p38sheep]

How do you get the rain to look like that!?

[@panzerd18]

Spud stop over boosting the engine on takeoff. Use less throttle or use takeoff water.

[@Spudknocker]

Good to know! This was my first mission in the Harrier in like a year!

[@dart5722010]

Noticed he only rotated nozzles to 50d. Isn't 65d standard on an sto?

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Nice

[@wagnermesquita9289]

the old DCS's Water look was soooo better than current one

[@peterwassmuth4014]

Awesome!

[@shovalzeharia2009]

you are using VR?

[@eq1373]

Rain in the Persian Gulf?

[@philaitch8586]

Believe it, Spent plenty of IRL time at Al Minhad, varied between 58 degrees C in summer to requiring boards to keep you out of the puddles during intense rain!.

[@eq1373]

@@philaitch8586 I never would have guessed

[@philaitch8586]

@@eq1373 IKR, seems weird.

[@JLTSoft]

FYI, your STO procedure is totally wrong. You are supposed to have nozzles at 0-10, and you don't rotate the nozzles to the STOP lever until after you reach the NRAS (nozzle rotate air speed), which would have been calculated for you on the VREST -> STO page. You can also hit the VSTOL button and then enter the NRAS into the UFC and press ENT. That will box the speed on your HUD when you reach NRAS so you know when to the throw the nozzles down to the stop. You'll find that you are able to take off in a much shorter distance than what you've been doing.

[@s2coverlive457]

Destroyer with disabled weapon system???how convenient, IRL this harrier will get smoked with AA missiles it can't even get close to shot his mavericks

[@Parabueto]

Had a Sunday Mission with a stationary destroyer but fully armed randomly spawn last weekend anchored just off the coast of an airbase. Took a three ship about half a dozen anti ship missile waves to finally kill it and it shot down at least four strike aircraft in the area and shut down a huge section of coast from attacks. For the sake of fun I certainly don't mind liberties because in a plane without anti ship capabilities that really, really dragged.

[@Spudknocker]

S2 Coverlive well they ships were meant to represent a Davamand class destroyer which is a WW2 destroyer class still in service with the Iranians. Def watch part one of this video if you wanna see more intense combat

[@Schweinhosen]

Great flying, 😎👍🏻 Personally, I would have used a load out with APKWS for the boats and AGM-65 for destroyers. But hey, everything got destroyed either way ✌🏻

[@Schweinhosen]

Great flying 😎✌🏻
