A-29B Super Tucano vs SA342 Gazelle: Dogfight | DCS

[@antoniohagopian213]

New A29 version is available with working FLIR that has tracking, only lasing is needed now. Edit: new cockpit textures and prop animation are in this new version too, it has better visibility too since the cockpit has had changed geometry too.

[@grimreapers]

I downloaded "latest version" according to website, it has no new cockpit or FLIR. Dissappointed.

[@grimreapers]

Can you msg me on Discord plz?

When in the RAMC I was tasked to get water samples from a river that was a border between Honduras and Guatemala, there were reports of tampering with the water supply. I and a pilot flew tactically in a Gazelle to a persons field beside the river, the owner took me to the middle of the river to collect some samples and then we flew back to our base. It was quite exciting.

[@mcelravys]

Love the Tucano, it’s the first free mod I downloaded. Great little counter insurgency platform.

[@MiguelAbd]

I'm so happy to see the Tucano being viewed with good eyes. Makes me proud of both the mod team and Embraer.

[@tyga3130]

It’s amazing plane for counter insurgency

[@Anarchy_420]

Thanks Cap! Cool af you actually do all these fan requests! Very grateful for this one😁👍

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@creightonfreeman8059]

It would be interesting to see how the Super Tucano does against P-51s and Spitfires. As you mentioned, they have similar specifications.

[@antoniohagopian213]

I suggest waiting until it becomes EFM or the flight model gets updated, currently it is underperforming.

[@pierrelahaie6359]

The Tucano has only 2 MGs, going against 20mm cannons and 6 MGs. But still, YES!!!

[@antoniohagopian213]

@@pierrelahaie6359 the super tucano M3 shoots so much faster it's like having 4-6 M2 from a p51, but since the RPM is faster your have a higher chance to hit and cause more damage, so don't bother comparing the number of them cause it's useless when you have guns that fire at 400 rpm compared to 1200 rpm

[@pierrelahaie6359]

@@antoniohagopian213 The WW2 version had a RPM of 750. Very close to the modern version. But nothing to prevent the dogfight to happen!

Gazelle does have flare. The panel is behind the pilots left knee

[@grimreapers]

ah! I knew somewhere is my memory that it does. didn't need it anyway.

[@CombatIneffective]

And Cap said the most British thing I have ever heard him say. I have time to finish my tea. I swear that line needs either the royal grenadiers march or the men of harlech singing behind him saying that.

[@grimreapers]

lol

The only version of the Gazelle that could win a guns only against an A-29 is the Blue Thunder... true story, bro!

Being brazilian i just love the Super Tucano, it's a shame it only has a SFM otherwise i'd consider it to be my favorite mod to fly with

FWIW cap, I’m still getting your videos in my suggestions pretty much as soon as they come out

[@rg6569]

My money's on the Gazelle!

[@alanwright3172]

As an ex Gazelle pilot I was getting a nose bleed, what were you doing at that altitude?😂

[@andreartymiuk]

Gazelle has very effective countermeasure flare dispenser , you just have to switch them on

thx

@@grimreapers This map, certainly the area Covering The Turkish Republic of Norther Cyprus (the north bit after the 1974 war between Turkey and Greece) is an accurate simulation but spans several decades, it features hotels built withing the last five years but also some structure that no longer exist and haven't for decades.

[@edtim1984]

It would be interesting to watch the video: "Could Super Tucano Penetrate & Destroy The 40 Mile Long Russian Convoy At Kyiv?" In 2019, Ukraine was interested in purchasing these aircraft. I wonder how they would show themselves.

For information only but for me, the changing of the bell icon has changed nothing, I am not getting the notifications before or after. No idea why. Cheers

[@grimreapers]

Yes something in background seems to have got royally screwed up. Fingers crossed it helps anyway.

[@ArjayMartin]

A cool video idea for you... for the not-actually-a-pilot-in-real-life Grim Reapers... please go to a commercial airline flight sim and give it a crack at take off, flying and landing... see how things translate over from game to real world.

[@grimreapers]

[@voradfils]

Tucano's boresight cross is off by a lot, or the guns are pointing in the wrong direction. That gunsight isn't good for much but at least the line is there to get your shots in plane easier.

[@antoniohagopian213]

There is 2 other sights that can be used

[@quicknickucf]

The army and Air Force did something similar and found helicopters would beat fighters in low altitude fights if properly equipped for air to air. The fighters couldn’t get locks because the helos were too low and the fighters were too exposed en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-CATCH
