Ralfi's Alley - Deep strike mission in the MIG-28

Elmo, Arlios, Kamsa and myself hopped in the F-5Es and proceeded to strike an EWR site deep behind enemy lines. It was a mostly pointless and useless mission, but for some reason most of the server decided to help us out by providing CAP and escort packages to our strike position. It's been a while since I've seen such cooperation in DCS.

Moral of the story: The missile knows where it is - and where you are - even if it shouldn't. Gimbal limits are more like gimbal suggestions.

[@yes-rq4dg]

The missile knows where it is at all times...

[@jamesduston9292]

...except when it doesn’t

[@PappaBear_yt]

@@jamesduston9292 🤣 nice one, sir.

[@GruntyGame]

By subtracting where the missile was by where it isn't the missile knows where it is.

[@Hardcover_Pilot]

The best part about the MiG-28 skin for the F-5 is that Heatblur programmed the F-14 to detect if you're using it. If you are, the RWR will designate it as a MiG-28 and Jester will refer to it as such.

[@schweizerluchs7146]

yeah...Heatblur what did you expect😏 but like for real, I didn't know that😳

Those iranian Tomcat Pilots in the video must have been pissing their pants laughing at that.

Furball F-18, A-50. My god. That A-50 pilot knew some moves

[@jessenicoletta4160]

I guarantee that F-18 pilot’s tombstone had that transmission chiseled into it

[@busteraycan]

can you chime me in on the situation and terminology? I get the A-50 refusing to go down is hilarious but that's all I understood? Are A-50's really hard to get close to? What does "furball" mean?

[@Alvi410]

@@busteraycan the A-50 is an Airborne early Warning And Control System. AWACS for short. That said its a big flying radar and command post. In the case of the A-50 is converted from an Il-76 cargo plane. Namely slow. Not agile. And not really able to dodge a missile. Unless some weird stuff happens. A Furball is a term that indicates a dogfight. It means that two planes are fighting one another at close range. The joke is that a fighter with good long range air to air missiles, an F-18, entangled itself in a close range fight with the flying equivalent of a truck. And died.

"I have never seen such DCS coorporation" Ralfi you know if there is anything that brings the DCS community together its memes

[@sd501st5]

There's some kind of reverse Top Gun movie going on in my head while watching this. O_o Persian Gulf - Present Day Iranian EWR Site RADAR Operator: "There's five, Sir!" Commanding Officer:"THERE'S FIVE?!" RADAR Operator: "Yes Sir!" Iranian Lead F-14 Pilot: "Woods been hit! Woods been hit! We've lost Bollywood, I repeat we've lost Bollywood!"

And whenever I shoot a sparrow in the tomcat, it's about as effective as throwing a rock :D
