DCS World | MiG-21 Ground Attack Tutorial

In this DCS World video I demonstrate how to use the unguided air to ground rockets and bombs in the MiG-21. I hope this helpsyou get stuck into the ground targets.

Great tutorial! Just FYI, there IS an in-cockpit indication that the rocket pods are empty. On the bottom weapon status panel (mostly obscured by the stick) there’s two annunciator lights on the far left that will turn on when any onboard S-5 rocket pods are empty. It’s backwards from the other pylon status indicators (which are lit when there’s a weapon onboard and dark otherwise, because the pod itself remains on the rail) but it does tell you when you’re out of ammo, without having to resort to an external view. :)

You learn something everyday, thanks for the information.

[@CapitalRoach]

When you are using the cannon in Ground mode you can turn the radar on to fixed beam and set the MSL/GYRO selector up to MSL and it will uncage the pipper for you.

[@Nibby802]

Yeah but it’s honestly more accurate with the fixed sight in gyro. In MSL it’s usually a bit too long or short depending on the angle of your five

[@FuturPaladin489]

teach me your ways

[@CAL1MBO]

Fixed is more accurate

[@TheSharpeful]

Thanks for these videos, they are quite useful! The worst thing about using Track IR is that when Im watching DCS videos on youtube, I keep unconsciously moving my head around to look at things I want to look at :\ Neck hurts after a while

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

gosh, yeah, same!

[@AngryCarMechanic]

Considering my Callsign on your server is "Kraken" I find your intro amusing. Makes me think you're hunting me down slowly but surely

[@TacticalPascale]

🤣🤣new event coming soon.

[@AngryCarMechanic]

@@TacticalPascale uh ohhhhh RUN

[@agdgdgwngo]

Love the S24, if targets are tightly pecked you can take out quiet a lot of stuff.

[@hansgold58]

Love the Mig, great video Pascal. Not as difficult as i thought.

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial video for us.

[@sonnyt.4911]

Thank you for this valuable tutorial. You've said and showed everything we needed to get right into it. 😊

[@TacticalPascale]

You are welcome

[@cellokid5104]

Thanks for showing some love to this beast

[@horstweihrauch1]

Great short videos for the MiG21 to hop back into it, THX=)

[@omarmahmoudfathymahmoud710]

Nice video thanks for sharing

[@thejetfighter]

Nice video 😀

[@scrag0416]

Again another excellent video!

[@fishingwithxavierw337]

gonna make me get back in the mig now

[@TacticalPascale]

So you should 😃

[@tenkayruanaya2554]

man you really master the mig 21 .. i think its really hard for me

[@reichenwald-gm4qd]

I always thought you had to put the gyro in missile mode for air to ground

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

my limited experience now is that a MiG-21 with any kind of ordnance is a slow, draggy, slow, heavy, slow, fuel-inefficient and slow

[@reichenwald-gm4qd]

Why didn’t you put the radar into locked beam mode for ranging?

[@TacticalPascale]

Because I’m lazy 😁

[@reichenwald-gm4qd]

@@TacticalPascale Isn’t it more accurate using radar ranging?

[@dirkellis9212]

How many rickets does the rocket pods carry?

[@TacticalPascale]

It depends on the pod

[@Virginia91]

I'm still kinda new to the 21. If you got rocket pods and bombs how do you select your salvo size it the bomb selector is also your rocket selector?

[@TacticalPascale]

It’s the dial on the top left, 4/8/12/16 etc

[@madaxe606]

Place the ASP mode selector (middle switch on the on the left side of the gunsight) to ‘S’ if you wanna shoot the rockets, and ‘B’ if you want to drop the bombs. Be sure to select the applicable pylons as well. (Although 1-4 will work for either mode)

[@Apollo_Tsakiris]

Was the "Encyclopedia" always a feature? This is the first time I've seen it.

[@TacticalPascale]

Yes

[@sildurmank]

Literally "always", as you say, IIRC it's there since LOMAC times XD

[@airsoftfreak11]

Just got the mig21 and a joystick dont have headtrack but was wondering if there is a server for newbies to join and be shown the ropes?

[@TacticalPascale]

HTTPS://discord.gg/tacticaldcs

[@Redadeg72]

No Laserbeam for Rockets?

[@Rokaize]

No, the mig21 doesn’t even have a laser. It uses its radar to estimate ranges for dropping weapons

[@tqkudzal]

Is your servers public? Or do you have to join a clan?

[@TacticalPascale]

We’re not a clan, we’re a group of the most helpful individuals in DCS. We help people learn the ropes by providing free training for all modules. There is no requirement to join other than, and no “you must participate” nonsense. Be cool, don’t be an a**hole is our motto.

[@marksuitano5206]

Light bug again, this time below hud

[@TacticalPascale]

Yes, I noticed it too.
