DCS World - F-14 Tomcat - AIM-54 Quick Tips (RIO, 6 Targets, ACM)

In this video we quickly go over how to employ the AIM-54 on 6 separate targets using TWS Auto, how to change the priority order using Next Launch, and how to employ an AIM-54 Phoenix in ACM mode so that it is Active right off the rail.

Jabbers, what do you think about a decent JESTER tutorial in terms of detecting/identifying targets? I get shot down by enemies that JESTER didn't even detect and I've got a hard time to give him the right commands to do so. A tutorial would be much appreciated. BTW this short tutorials are great, I'd like to see more of those!

Went into the merge last night with my cousin as RIO. Sorry, with my cousin as ballast. Got my nose on him. "Can you lock the bandit? "No" "Can you see his blip?" "No" "Can you see him out of your window?" "No" FFS Loosed off a hail-mary Phoenix in ACM. Tracked, splashed. Looked for ejection lever for RIO... Good tutorial.

That was a fantastic video, thanks Jabbers! People who are trying to get into the F-14 (like myself) have not really flown in modern jet sims before (I have stuck to civil aviation and ww2 sims for the most part) and so these simple things like firing off Phoenix's and tracking targets need to be explained in very basic terms to begin with for the masses.

[@danieldorn2927]

@@Jabbers It was not a critique of you, but a statement of the level of complexity of flight simulators compared to other simulators or games. To be successful, it is not enough just to fly the plane, but have the knowledge of its systems, procedures and specifications. Add to this situational awareness, a trained instinct for air combat maneuvering, and a whole lot of other stuff which sets the entry bar really high for new comers. There is a reason all the pilots have a higher education, and some even end up as astronauts later on.

[@hotelroyal334]

Great video! What radar mode are you in that all targets are already marked and you just have to launch or is that Jester doing it for you? We're learning multicrew and learning the F14 at the same time and it never looks like that kid matter what mode we use 😬

[@Jabbers]

Tws (track while scan) allows you to lock multiple targets abd scan..

[@CouscousProd31]

Hi Thanks for the video ! Would you be able to tell how (if it possible) to shoot (from the RIO seat) to multiple targets with several missiles per target please ? For example if i want to shoot at 3 targets and after this to shoot a second missile on each target.

[@highvoltage291]

This is an awesome video, I've been really waitijg for a quick guide on KZbin. Could anyone possibly explain the differences in the Phoenix missiles we have? Many thanks

[@FreedomAintFree1]

Quick tutorials are great. Thank you my man. How do you lean over like that? Is it tracking IR, or virtual reality? If virtual reality, which headset do you use? Thank you bud, going to go look for all the quick tips vids now.

[@Jabbers]

It’s trackir

[@Eleolius]

What did you do wrong at 3:25 ish to lose lock on the Radar? I have had that issue working as a RIO for my friend. I am not sure why I tend to lose targets under 15 miles even when we are looking right at them in TWS.

[@sheeplord4976]

If I had to guess, it goes out one of the ends of the ever narrowing cone. Remember, its a cone, not a triangle. As they get closer, they get more likely to go above or below it.

[@JETZcorp]

I also wonder about this, because the instant you launch an AIM-54, the Tomcat puts itself in TWS Auto, precisely to stop Lieutenant Doofus from allowing the contacts to leave the scan area. It seems to do a spectacularly poor job of it. Everybody seems to have a bunch of "Fox 3... And he's gone" experiences. I would have thought that TWS Auto would at LEAST keep a fired-upon bandit at the edge of the cone like the F-15 does with any soft-locked contact. But it seems to be more like the Mirage, where as soon as you soft-lock someone the antenna specifically scans the part of the sky where the bandit isn't. In the Mirage that's a bug. In the F-14 I wonder if it's a bug or just the vacuum tube computer getting in over its britches.

[@Barney-ic3uy]

Legend!!!

[@jaybeckman3749]

Quick & Dirty works just fine...

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I never jump into the back seat and wonder, since filming, have any updates made changes so this can be done from the Jester Menu? I keep telling Jester to Lock on to Enemy Target (I can see their icon!) and he frequently won't. Most of the time he will give me a Phoenix lock on a formation and I will see the diamond, but I am unsure if that diamond covers all the aircraft within in? Maybe a better ask is...can I ask Jester to lock onto the next one?

[@Jabbers]

Jester prioritizes the targets based on threat, as far as I know u cannot tell him to lock the next... As for your issue with him not locking an eny, are you sure he has IFFd the target, if he hasn't yet you have to say lock target ahead, not specifically enemy

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

@@Jabbers so I tried it again last night. (For some reason I can't view Jester's station by hitting the 2 key) I had a formation of bombers locked on and I didn't touch any switch settings, wondering if default would work. I rippled off 3 AIM-54's at 3 bombers. To my great disappointment, I hit one bomber and 2 missiles tried to hone in on the falling wreckage. I wish I could sort this out a bit easier!

[@fastfed]

And how did you let the computer set the priority ? I love you guys and appreciate the advise but it's always missing things, little things like how did you switch to the Phoenix when you were in the pilot seat? What are you doing in the back?? Ya think we can get a quick tutorial while you explain everything quickly?

[@Jabbers]

Priority is auto set, you literally do nothing, front to back seat is press 1 for pilot 2 for Rio

[@bullitthead7853]

Run through the in game tutorials, they'll teach you how to use the weapon select switch. You'll have to push the switch down after selecting sparrows in order to select the phoenix.

[@flyus747]

[@southstream9186]

Jabbers! I'm sure you can help me out with this one. I'm doing exactly as in the video/tutorial above but my AIM-54 keeps missing and missing its targets. Does not matter if it's 10 miles out, 20, 30, 40 or even more. TWS, 4 slow cargo planes with in 15 miles.. still misses all of them. What am I doing wrong? It's just crazy. They seem to track in the beginning but then just going straight/ OR sometimes trying to track but looses all its speed so even a cargoplane manage to escape. And yes, I fire from high alt with great speed beyond sometimes mach 1.2 etc. I've red some pages that says the Phoenix is totally messed up after an update but it cant be this messed up. Seems like im doing something wrong obviosly..? Thanks for great videos. Cheers, from Sweden.

[@ikonane]

How do you know when the Phoenix goes pitbull?

[@MrDrunkblackstar]

Watch the red button lights up in the left corner under the hud

[@Jabbers]

It goes pitbull 15km from the target in DCS, you don’t really know. But IRL the RIO tells it when, but not currently implemented due to engine limitations

[@JETZcorp]

@@Jabbers Wait, did the RIO tell it to, or did the AWG-9 tell it to? My understanding was the F-14 told the missile ehen to go putbull automatically, without giving the pilot or RIO any cue or control over it (IRL).

[@conornordenstam36]

in the pilot seat, if you see the contacts blink, that means you can shoot them without locking?

[@Jabbers]

Fly upside down over their canopy and perform international relations

[@Goreuncle]

Is there a way to tell Jester to hit that "Next Launch" button from the pilot seat? Switching to the RIO seat isn't possible in MP, and sometimes Jester will bug low priority targets far away, leaving bandits right in front for later...

[@sahne.]

As a RIO there is an option to switch a flip for the Aim 54 to get also active right after launch (I believe PH ST?). I somewhere read that when launched in this mode with active radar tracking we got about ten NM less flighttime. So is this nonsense or is this a way to quick fire a full active missile on an opponent at a range larger than 30 NM?

[@Jabbers]

The mode you are talking about is the mode I used at the end, the ACM cover up from the pilot seat

[@JETZcorp]

@@Jabbers There are a couple ways to launch a Phoenix active off the rail. The way he's talking about is with a switch in the RIO pit, and it allows the RIO to launch one active off the rail. I'm not sure if it's functionally the same as the ACM mode or not.

[@TurboFly07]

Hey Jabbers, early on during the hype, you showed a video of CCRP lobbing over terrain. After reading the manual, I realized that this was done through an IP to ground TGT mode for CCRP bombing. If you don't do it this way you have to visually acquire the target within 10nm - which obviously makes SEAD impossible using target designation rather than IP designation mode. My question is: can this be performed with Jester? I've tried multiple possibilities and it seems like the answer is no. what really sucks is that no human wants to sit in the RIO seat on a bombing run to plug in 3 mathematical variables to calculate IP to TGT point and ensure the computer calculates it when you designate the IP and that's it, whilst in multiplayer you can't go to the back seat to do it yourself. For some reason I cannot login to post on the ED forums, and I know you have a direct line to heatblur and extensive experience with the module, so i was wondering if you could shed some light on my difficulty if I am doing something wrong, and if not, to please inform heatblur, and request that a button to calculate IP to Ground TGT be implemented in the Jester menu for CCRP bombcat lobbing. Thanks in advance Jabbers, you've been great over the past few months hyping me up to no end in regards to this module.

How do you lock a target in TWS that the targeting computer wont lock automatically? I've had situations where I could see targets on TWS and they were either unknown or hostile, but the computer didn't lock them.

[@sahne.]

They could be either faded or notched your radar track (often with a big X on the symbol) or have missing target information because of short tracking times. Your best bet as a rio would be to acquire them in pulse or pd stt so you wont lose one of them.

[@Jabbers]

Hook them with the HCU and press next target just like I did in the 2nd example

Depends on the air speed, altitude, aspect and type of the enemy target and your own air speed and altitude. Flying at Mach 1.5 at 30k feet you will not hit a MiG25 at Mach 1, 5k feet, and cold aspect at 20 nm. But a Tu95 at Mach 0.5, 20k feet, and hot aspect at 40nm is a sure kill.
