Shiny's DCS Tomcat Tips: Big Fighter vs Viper - PVP Fights and Debrief

This was a great session I had on the 104th server. Me in an F-14B vs a Viper (plus one engagement with an F-15E). We will get the overview on TACVIEW and then focus in on the last fight with in cockpit footage and a final TACVIEW debrief.
Feel free to join me and a great group of guys on the Danger Close Server for good times, fun missions and modern 4th gen action.

Some tips from me: There is very nice RIO controls mod for F14. IC friendly. It gives you RIO controls like MLC, hooking stuff, ignore tracks, chose flares/chaff on DLC button... all from pilot seat. Very nice. Also it seem you could fire from higher alt. i try to fire from min 40k feet, F14B easily goes there on mil with 4 54s, and performance difference on long rang 54s is massive. Also when bandit is within 20 nm but i dont know where exactly, then i switch to RWS, it has more scan volume and more importantly more bars. Definitely much better than looking through the straw of PAL

For the long range shot get down coaltitude jump into the backseat and turn of mlc-filter. Or get slightly below him to prevent the nodge.

Yeah, there are some ways to mitigate the notch. I've actually never messed with mlc filter..that is something I should try.

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

Thanks, I'm gonna try this tip!

[@necivisti]

Very helpful video. If you ever run into an encounter with JF17 pvp or pve as an ace post a video on that. The jammer and SD10 can be a big pain to deal with. If you are just out of range for a PAL lock can you do a STT lock with the ACM cover up at say 17 miles or would you keep the cover down for that. Assuming you will break that lock defending hard

Great video just wanted to ask which missiles are you using
