On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

[@bertram-raven]

Some explosives are so stable they won't detonate no matter how many times they are hit. At close in range missiles can still cause damage by "suiciding" if terminal guidance is lost or when the system thinks it may not make it to the target but is "over" the enemy. This is done when internal control signals are lost - not by active command. Such a detonation may not hurt hardened targets but squashy meat based assets are more susceptible to bits of flying metal.

[@vicroc4]

​​@@bertram-ravenEach missile took enough hits that the structural integrity of the airframe would not have been high enough to resist the aerodynamic forces they were under. They would've torn apart before they could impact.

[@jwagner1993]

Failure. You're not the priority. The priority is those assets on the ground. If you're already high and fast, u need to push hard at first fox3 chance. And in my opinion, you're getting cold for too long and not aggressive enough to preserve the mission. Avoiding the cruise missiles launch are the priority there at first shot Excellent video as usual 👍🏼

[@pcb_404]

13:56 that is a comedic amount of bullets for 1 missile. probably cost more to shoot it down than it did to make the missile

[@DIBgmail]

but does it cost more than the loss of additional vehicles!?

[@johnbewty]

A CWIS costs $3.5K per second to fire. I would assume CRAM is similar. If the cost of a cruise missile is $1mil, the break-even point would come at around 285 seconds of CRAM fire. (This excludes the wear and tear on the CRAM itself; the barrel is gonna melt at some point...) Of course, this is all dwarfed by the planes on the runway that the cruise missile is targeting...

That mission is awesome - my favourite so far

[@shivamkantival5339]

Just one suggestion though, might be helpful if you could just drop the links to the mods you use in the videos. Figuring out for example how to setup Aim-120D with the F-15C can be a daunting task for some someone new to DCS. Awesome job btw with these videos. Almost a daily dose for me 😉.

[@MrSauva]

Really cool to see you play both sides of the mission. I'd gladly watch more back-to-back from both sides videos.

[@truthseeker9454]

I was thinking the same thing! It might help reduce GS' production fatigue, too since he could get more than one video from each mission he builds. 😎

[@user-ft2zc5or9d]

Those cruise missiles took waaay too many 20mm rounds at the end there lol.. dont know how that happened.. also wouldnt PAC 3 Patriot be better than PAC 2 since it holds more missiles?

Da, cruise missiles upgraded with Stalinium armor, comrade.

[@theiceman447]

This one didn't really do it for me. I feel like you should have been intercepting the bombers way before they dropped all their missiles because we would have known that they all took off and were heading our way. But i get it, dramatics and whatnot.

[@TankandDimples]

That is what I was thinking. We would have known and been scrambled before they hit 1k feet

[@aknwong]

Probably it's a scenario of intelligence failure

[@pymathus2283]

In reality the F-15's would get no where close before they dropped their weapons and head home, due to the range of its payload.

[@theiceman447]

@@pymathus2283 yea, in this scenario you are 100% correct, but it's a shit scenario because we would know they're on the way before they did. Therefore the interceptors would be engaging them long before they get close to target.

In chess, if you're up in materiel, you want to trade pieces, because your opponent has less materiel to lose. So I'd say this is a mission success. They lost 2 Bears (plus one heavily damaged) and 4 fighters in exchange for 2 bombers and 2 fighters. If we can maintain a production edge, that's a win.

[@manjisaipoe517]

The F-15C could structurally carry 12 missiles. We never did because there were some aero and airframe stress issues with the outboard pylons, and we never had a solid use case for the configuration. I think airspace sanitization of cruise missiles is a good use case for missile truck configs, but again, we've never been defensive like this because historically we've achieved air superiority within a few days. The EX model can carry 22 with the new missile racks.
