What I loved about this vid was that you started explaining some of the aircraft systems in more detail during the engagement as they came up. Love that style. maybe try to incorporate that more into future vids, like mentioning each system and how/what are you using it for.

[@stuntpuppy8557]

I've definitely seen the flanker datalink display missiles as very fast contacts. I don't know exactly why but it does happen, probably because the AWACS can pick up the missile and sends that to DL if I had to guess. I've never had it happen in a mission without AWACS.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

That’s my working theory right now also, I think ur correct.

[@potatofartsquad]

[@oldfashionedwrx3574]

having the R77 - 1 on the flanker is all it really needs to do BVR with bluefor on DCS. makes it a su35 essentially

[@Gargoloso]

An updated radar and screen would also help. Something similar to the SM variant. (I know SM2 and SM3 would be too much).

Yeah but having an Ibris-E to go along with them would be magical

GS I would love some more SEAD videos with a variety of aircraft keep the uploads coming!❤

[@iyhan1987]

9:30 you can figure it out by looking on your RWR, if the signal is strong, missile is first one and near by. If signal is weak and increases rapidly, it means amraam went pit bull a moment ago and it is a new one. 8:44 same think. RWR signal has just the half of strength and not changing. It means that missile is not too close to you and already has the same speed as you do, and getting slower and slower cause of the drag. So it is beaten already

[@berengerchristy6256]

It would be cool if you could coordinate and get actual people to fly opposing bandits

[@hbladeh]

Indeed the Flanker datalink sees missiles as hostile contacts, at least the ones big enough (such as AIM-54). Also you didn't see the last bandit because you were scanning in -1 and 0 so basically level and under you, and he was above. If you scanned +1 (maybe +2) you would've seen him straight away, keep an eye on those crosswise lines on the datalink contact :)

[@sentar_dv]

I was aircraft technician on Su-27SM jets. It actually have 3 Multipurpose indicators (monitors) instead of one, and it's much more comfortable to use. I wonder if theres such modification in DCS.

[@GrowlingSidewinder]

unfortunately we don't have the more modern flankers in DCS but I hope one day we will.

[@Blind_Hawk]

Very cool video, really love the variety of airframes shown in these videos. Also bonus we get to see a landing at the end ;).

[@William3000x]

12:02 Yes, the Datalink sees the missiles. They appear as hostile contacts with a SUPER LONG longitudinal vector (because, you know, they're missiles, so they go SUPER FAST). The datalink treats ALL missiles as hostile contacts, even missiles from friendly units. And it makes sense, because they're... well... MISSILES. They're dangerous.

[@TheNicestPig]

Missiles don't have IFF i assume so it just gets sorted as hostile for everyone

[@MichelVaillancourt]

there is no such thing as a friendly missile in the air.

Hey Question, how is it your FOX 3s are so effective? I've seen in other videos of yours during BVR engagements, your FOX 3s (and your opponents) are often easily defended. However, in this vid, they are hitting their makes quite frequently. Is it the quality of the opponent? Or is it different when it's a 1v1? Love your work man :) Keep it coming!

Maybe idk but maybe the SAM missiles sended a signal or something to the aircraft to show that help has arrived? And maybe the su-27 thought it was a hostile

[@MondoChow777]

Yes the radar in the SU-33/SU-27 deos track surface to air missiles as hostile aircraft. I'm not sure if it's actually what eagle dynamics was aiming for but it's useful for SEAD in Russian aircraft, no small feat as you have to get in close with rockets but it is a good strategy to bait a launch to find the site in PVP.

If the AWACS have a much further radar range then why don't they just strap the AWACS will long range missiles to shoot down the fighter jets?

yes, datalink can show SAM missiles sometimes.. and you should see SM2 how it looks like on DL.. it is loooooong line almost across whole DL :D

[@patrickdavis8271]

Great video GS! Question. If you are defending, why are you not waiting for the enemy aircraft to violate the border before engaging? I know this is for fun but what I saw was you violating another country's airspace (crossing the river), shooting down an aircraft on patrol, without cause or provocation and then continue that engagement across the boarder into your airspace. If the F-16's shot at you first then this would be reason to engage them. But they didn't. In peace time you would not shoot down another aircraft until it crosses the boarder (KISS), the river in this case. You just created an international incident and started a world war. lol Fantastic video GS! You always put 100% into each video, you explain what's going on and 1 point of interest in each aircraft. Well done!

[@kevingalgay]

I think the American rwr is better when it comes to determining what the primary threat actually is. Because it not only shows you where the threats are but specifically what kind of jet they are.

[@titaniummechanism3214]

I doubt that SAMs are equipped with IFF, so they would probably show up as hostile on the datalink due to not being identified. Also I'm really proud of myself of having become to well aquainted with datalink from watching your videos, that I could identify at a glance the two new contacts, their altitude, their high speed and their heading. If I ever get into playing DCS myself, this will give me a good head start!
