DCS World - SU-25 - Hunting Down ISIL in Syria

[@harrypotterxl9326]

Good rocket hits. But those dive angles seemed really steep. You were doing a Stuka kind of a dive.

[@showtime112]

Well, the second one wasn't very good. I came way to low.

[@ratagris21]

Just needed the Jericho Trimpet sirens.

[@apflyingamer3623]

I watched the CA episode and I actually recognized scenes in your video. Good work!

[@showtime112]

Yeah, I was trying to recreate that. Only the cockpit shots proved to be too difficult to recreate like in the tv episode.

[@EastGames-uy6mc]

Excellent choce of topic for the video!

[@showtime112]

I agree completely 😊

[@joewright2304]

I immensely enjoy these videos and find them to be both informative as well as entertaining.

[@showtime112]

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback!

[@davorandric6150]

Nisam znao za tu seriju dokumentaraca. Mislim da ću ju početi pratiti.

[@showtime112]

Probaj, zanimljiva je.

[@fab_gaming106]

How did you make that fortress? Or was it on the map?

[@showtime112]

I lined up many containers. But that's a secret, don't tell anyone 😁

[@ttpechon2535]

Finally! Some new Su 25 content! most of it is like 3 years old

[@showtime112]

Several reasons for that. It's not high fidelity, it's not Western and it's not a fighter. But thst thing is very relevant still. It's being used in Syria and Nagorno Karabah. So I think it's cool. Thank you for your comment, I hope you find more interesting stuff on the channel.

[@Огњен-б8я]

U poslom videu sam teo da te pitam da napravis video o isilu i sta mislis o arma 3 igrici.

[@showtime112]

Zapravo sam mislio raditi nešto drugo ali pogodila me inspiracija za ovo 😊 Arma 3, nisam ju igrao iako izgleda da ima puno potencijala u kategoriji borbe na tlu. Možda se jednog dana i time pozabavim iako zasad u DCS-u imam što raditi bar 3-4 godina. I to kad ne bi izlazili novi moduli 😅

[@ramtin-s8722]

Nice re-enactment of that documentary!

Thanks. Did you watch it before?

[@RealDarko]

Great mission! You should share the mission so everyone can have fun!

[@showtime112]

Well, I wasn't planing on that but now you made me think. I might just do that in a couple of days. It just needs some details added. Thank you for your comment!

Thanks! It might be true but then again, maybe this is just not mainstream stuff.

[@LockOnNow]

Great Video and topics as always and super presented by you. Your channel is simply great and at least you have the manners to respond to your subscribers not like other DCS channels i experienced. Keep up the great work

[@showtime112]

Thanks again for your support. Comments like yours inspire me to try harder. As for others not responding, I don't have that many comments so I have time to respond. Maybe they don't 😊

[@LockOnNow]

@@showtime112 If i may say so anybody who runs a channel and has subscribers has a sudden responsibility towards his subscribers unless his just concerned about numbers and does not care about questions from his community which i feel is a sad way of behaviour. I mean lets face it anybody who runs a channel wants people to subscribe, but then he should also take the responsibility towards his community if there are questions.

[@showtime112]

@@LockOnNow Point taken. I will try to always answer comments. Or hire a secretary to do it for me if I don't have time anymore😂

[@silentone11111111]

Really liked the vid :) Id like more like this. May I suggest you start the voiceover earlier :) I almost tuned off as it was subtitles only. Great effort and I look forward to more stuff :, Especially Syria missions :)

[@showtime112]

Thank you very much for your comment and subscription. More stuff is certainly coming. Thanks for the suggestion about voice over. I will have to work some compromise there. On one hand, I see my intros kind of like those in James Bond movies. Initially, just action without much talking to bring you into the movie. Just today a guy commented how he liked the intros. But I realize most people prefer voice overs and might be put off by thinking there isn't any. You've certainly given me something to think about 😊

[@charliejohnson2065]

Hey man, what system you running in this? Im trying to get an idea on what DCS looks like on different rigs, is this low settings/graphics on dcs as well?

[@showtime112]

AMD Ryzen 5 1400, Sapphire Pulse RX580 4GB, 16GB at the time. The graphic setting is kinda mixed. Aircraft textures are on high, while ground are on low. I tweaked other settings since so I'm not sure exactly how they were set when this video was made.

[@patshes1951]

Liked the steep dive

[@showtime112]

It looked pretty cool in the documentary!

[@nikolairubinskii6450]

Why not bring a full load of S-8s and level the place?

[@showtime112]

Your know, I wondered that myself. In 'Combat Approved' episode they only carried two pods per plane so I did it like that as well. One explanation might be that they wanted to keep the aircraft light and maneuverable to be able do avoid anti-aircraft defenses better. Or maybe there was nothing in those building s and the vehicles were the only thing worth shooting at. Anyway, thank you for your question!

[@gregsworldkitchen6764]

Hi. I love these historical re-enactments. Thank you. I have a little quirky question. I have a silly little hobby/ game where I try and guess where people are from, based on listening to their language or accents. I can't place you at all. I'm guessing Europe (Spain or Portugal) or near East? Where are you from please? Its driving me crazy 🤪. I'm English.

[@showtime112]

Hello! Thank you for your comment and positive feedback. I'm not gonna tell you exactly but I will give you a clue. Keyword is 'subtitles' 😉

[@jakosloth]

Believe it or not but I actually live like 4kms away from Khmeimim Airbase we see aircrafts all the time but there aren't any SU25s here anymore they pulled them out to be replaced by more SU24s

[@showtime112]

I can't say that I envy you. But you have an interesting perspective, that's for sure. This story is from 2017. I guess Russians either thought that Su-25 pilots got enough experience or that the airplane wasn't suitable for that job anymore.

[@NeutronRob]

Another great video! I'm a newbie to DCS and learning to fly the SU-25T. I noticed the Frog Foot you were flying on this mission didn't have the TV monitor. What model is this Frog Foot if I may ask?

[@showtime112]

Thanks! This is the standard Su-25. It is one of the so-called Flaming Cliffs 3 modules in DCS. They must be purchased but are much cheaper than high fidelity ones. This model takes up the majority of Su-25 produced while the Su-25T was only built in very small quantities.

[@RedBravo65]

Nicely done. Enjoyed the video. Two thumbs up!

[@showtime112]

I'm very glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the comment!

[@ulisesvelez5846]

the two seater version the code name is su-25k.

[@everythinggaming7938]

how do you add walls on mission editor?

[@showtime112]

In this case, they are containers lined up one by one. They are within static objects. It takes a while to build. More recently, you can download SAM Assets Pack which offers more options such as hespo barriers. There's also revetments etc.

You should do the 4chan call for air support in Syria by finding the terrorist camp on google earth based off of an execution video

[@showtime112]

Potentially interesting. A bit controversial but I need to make some research on the topic.

[@snipeefox]

@@showtime112 indeed. I believe you covered the USS Liberty which is probably one of the most controversial engagements anyone could have chosen lol. Controversy aside, the 4chan air strikes are an amazing demonstration of the power of OSINT and the possibility of it transferring from information to actual kinetic outcomes. Something I think is quite relevant to the current conflict raging in Europe.

[@veritasardens6547]

I wonder why destroying the vehicles was the objective of this mission and not the buildings at the training camp, is it to prevent the terrorists from making a quick getaway?

[@showtime112]

I'm not really sure but the episode showed the attack on the vehicles. Maybe they estimated the buildings were empty and the vehicles were more valuable targets. Or maybe there was a follow-up attack on them with heavier weapons.

[@ratagris21]

I notice that the Rusdians don't load up their aircraft with a lot of ordinance. It seems the West has a different point of view yo load more just in case it is needed in a support role.

[@showtime112]

Yes, that's true. I think since they often use unguided weapons, they want to keep their aircraft light and maneuverable so they can dodge defenses more easily.

[@Jon-uo4gf]

@@showtime112 A lot of the Su-25a airframes are also getting pretty old at this point. Probably don't want to put any more stress on them than the mission requires.

[@showtime112]

@@Jon-uo4gf Could be, haven't thought of that.

[@alenmihelcic8267]

Building are not better target?

[@showtime112]

Either they estimated that buildings didn't contain anything very important, or their ammo wasn't suitable for such a target. Those are the best guesses I have.

[@davidoltmans2725]

Shouldn’t the Russian aircraft be displaying the Russian flag markings instead of the debunked red star?

Actually, Russian Air Force still uses the red star on their aircraft.
