DCS: How to Dominate a server | BVR tactics | Tutorial | Israeli F15C | Digital Combat Simulator

[@LongShotChannel]

Hey guys. In this DCS video im showing how you can dominate a server with BVR tactics in the F15C. That beeing said, im NOT an expert on the subject. Im showing it here because it works for me 90% of the time. This video made to help guys that are new to DCS world. Hope you guys will find it helpfull.

[@kristinasokolova1695]

Can you suggest me a configuration Of PC and VR for playing DCS with decent performances? Tks

[@LongShotChannel]

Its always depends on how much money you are ready to spend. No Nvidia has the 30k GPUs out and they are not as expensive, but if you want to buy one of those, read the reccomendation for a pc that Nvidia says. In not, a 1080ti from Nvidia will serve you well, i would try to get the best CPU that you can buy, because DCS is working with CPU the most. Cooling system will be needed as well.

I really liked the walkthrough on the video. I just hopped into the F25 after grinding out the Viper and have been struggling a bit. This was definitely very helpful!

[@swilks8547]

Day 2 on DCS.. tried this out today and got deleted by a mig after 30 mins of flying with no action. I love DCS

[@GhostStyle007]

In most of cases, if a player don't enjoy the "30min no action" flight he never stay on dcs for more than a week. (My friends experience lol)

[@Devastator89x]

why are you flying for 30 minutes with no action??? use AWACS 😂

@@ryz_vik I sometimes forget to throttle out of A/B when I switch back to it from a different module. Takes about 5 minutes of flying for it to run out of fuel and shut off the engine. It has no fuel, even with bags...

[@noaho0862]

Yeah one thing I love about the f-15 is if your not flying on afterburner you can stay on station for really long time

[@XCougar85X]

Thank you for this. Really struggeling on that server myself. If i stay low i get dunked on from above, if i go high some sneaky guy gets me from below with IR missiles :P

[@ArtietheArchon]

for the record you almost never want to bring 3 fuel tanks in the F-15, only ever bring 2. the center tank has more drag than the 2 wing tanks put together and 20,000lb of fuel is already a tremendous amount

[@activeregent8889]

Eh, it's good for getting to altitude then dumping all the bags so you can do the funny and go mach 2

[@ArtietheArchon]

When you shot an 120C at high altitude and long range you can put your nose at 15° to help the missile lofting. Nice video 👍

Yes i do fly the JF, and soon

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

I kind of knew DCS was a very real Sim, but I didn't realize it was damn near spot on with the on board tactical systems, ECM, and Radar. LS and the other players have to actually learn the plane like a real pilot. Impressive!

F-15C is not full realistic. Other aircraft have cockpits where all buttons are clickable and do something. Much more advanced.

[@Strattonlad1946]

In an F15 A, never flew the C model, hit and hold 400 kts to .9 Mach, hold .9 Mach to altitude the hit your attack speed. Disclaimer, we never flew a C model with 3 bags, so speed might be different in a loaded C model. Try it at any rate, experiment. Good luck!

[@moeaerofoilweeb8794]

Nice video^ showcases what the Eagle is best at. I've been flying the F-15C close to 11 years now from Lock On times to the DCS that we have now. :) Though I really wish the APG-63 in-game can detect Fighter sized targets at 70 - 80 nautical miles instead of 60.. just like the real radar. or so i read. I wish ED would still address this.

[@OzarkGenerations]

@mandellorian Gee Golly.. Imagine a warplane like the F15 that came into service in the 80's having a modern radar in the nosecone in 2008 (when the Georgian War occurred).

[@OzarkGenerations]

Yeah.. Wish ED would consider why the F15 has 100 kills and 0 losses. Maybe it's a scarily good BVR fighter.

[@moeaerofoilweeb8794]

@mandellorian months late reply sorry. But yeah.. the thing is.. ED already admitted themselves that they would adjust the apg-63's sensitivity or so.. Its already in the official forums, but now its more of when are they going to implement it.. but then again they couldn't be bothered to fix the fugly night lighting bug the F-15C has for more than a year now.. The Eagle's radar adjustment seems to be even more unlikely.

[@moeaerofoilweeb8794]

@@OzarkGenerations maybe yes.. scary bvr fighter since it prolly could still sling missiles faster then the upcoming mudhen

[@roijoi6963]

Frustrating, vs the Viper, to not be able to see speed, altitude nor magnetic compass most of the time. Probably more familiar with Viper instruments, but the Eagle just isn't as photogenic IMHO. Hard to keep SA, and being an actually aluminum and av-gas pilot, that's unnerving/distracting. All that said, I really love these strategic BVR engagements. The mental game is the juice for me. Time to hit Reply and watch it again!

The eagle would be the absolutely perfect aircraft but.... NO DATA LINK!!! It makes it so hard to fly and the worst thing is that the real f15c has datalink but it wasn't added because ed wanted fc3 planes to be balanced! That's why I really want a full fidelity C eagle

[@rxpect6095]

Hi would you say that to e f-15 is a fast plane?

[@GhostStyle007]

Since the amraam is a fox3 missile, why did you not just go defensive right after the launch?

[@zj6074]

The onboard radar of the AMRAAM is only good for several miles. When taking shots at 40+, the missile behaves like a fox 1 for much of the flight until its onboard radar gets close enough to spot the target. Then, and only then, does it go terminal or "pitbull" where it no longer relies on the launch aircraft's radar.

[@JunaidAli-ws1li]

Is it possible to ask the AWACs about the locked target for IFF or did you simply mean a bogey-dope request?

[@LongShotChannel]

You can. You need to ask AWACS to declair and he will say if its freindly or not

@@LongShotChannel Thank you for your reply. I think its rshift + m, but even if u switch to only player reports (or sth like this) it will spam you still when there are a lot of bandits around you (within 200 nm i think, at least on 4ya servers). I thought you deactivated it completely. Only solution I found is to mute helmet sounds :(
