F-14 Tomcat AI Backseater is Actually Useful!

I play mostly on the DCS Dogfighters multiplayer server, search 'dogfighters' in the multiplayer search to find it. Dogfighters discord link here: discord.gg/dogfighters Don't forget to subscribe :)

[@piedpiper1172]

If my partner and I take up DCS, can we join servers like this for her to backseat? We really only play games where we can both be in the same plane/ship/tank/etc. Dog fights look more fun here than another 12 years grinding Arena Commander squad battle hoping Star Citizen will be a full game. It also looks like the copilot/Wizzo controls are more likely to consistently work in DCS…

Yep, that's what I do if I die early game.

[@SecuR0M]

Yes the voice actor had good direction. There's a behind the scenes of Jester's VA talking about his Navy experience back in the day and how the director had him doing five or six takes to capture a full set of emotions. The files are in ogg and can be listened to freely.

[@mint_au]

@@SecuR0M I have heard similar things for rally games and the developers get the VA's to read out the pace notes in a motion rig on the exact same stage and get them to do multiple takes. So when they go over any jumps, bumps and corners etc the rig moves them around making it sound abit more dramatic when the codriver takes a short pause whilst being in the air and going over a big jump and going through corners being thrown around in the seat like they would in the real life thing. Also its good because they mix it up so every time you play that stage the voice lines will always be different as they code it to mix the different takes up with each other

[@mikeserot1410]

In a military summer camp 25 years ago, my group of campers learned to fly fighters in simulators and went head to head with each other to see who was the best pilot/RIO crew in the group. I was in the control room acting as the RIO and when my Tomcat went head to head with an F-18, we pulled an aileron roll, came down over the top of the Hornet, and used our guns to shoot it down. We won the Top Gun plaque and patch that year.

This is how I wish war thunder acted. I hate that it makes you, 1 person, take on the jobs of 5 different people and no one gives you any information. Like if I’m flying a bomber and I happen to not be paying attention for a minute, if an enemy plane gets within a certain distance of me, one of my gunners should yell out that there is a plant and which direction it’s coming from. It’s very cool to see it happen in dcs.

There have been multiple cases where an F-15 has lost a wing and still managed to fly back to base and land safely. Clipping it's wing isn't a win, until it crashes or explodes it's still a threat.
