its so valuable when you explain the layer of your interaction with the hotas and flight controls so people understand what they are seeing done... starting out in DCS i would watch videos and not fully understand all the types of things the pilot is doing.

my controls breakthrough came through when i learned to associate the names of the commands (DMS/TMS/CMS/SOI up/down/left/right)with the inputs that i had bound with a custom image on the side of my HOTAS with all of the bindings laid out. haven't played in like a year though so i fear the moment i boot up im going to have to relearn some things lol.

Back when I was in scouts, the summer camp we went to had a program called Spec Ops for a while. It took up all your class slots, but you got to do some special stuff for it. It was a program about stealth they ran for the older scouts. They had a veteran running it, I want to say he was a ranger. They had a game they would put on every year. They gave every troop a flag that they had to put in their campsite. As long as there were at least two people in the camp, the people in Spec Ops could show up and try to take the flag. If they get seen, they have to leave and start over. If a troop managed to keep their flag until the end of the week, they would get a reward. I'm not aware of any troop that managed to do that. Unfortunately, the year I was old enough for it, they stopped offering that program because the only instructor for it left.

Really the issue with the A-10 (in any variation) is whether or not a jet is needed for dedicated CAS anymore. It is incredibly expensive to operate and there are simpler less expensive systems with a longer loiter time that can fill that role with modern aircraft. While the A-10 has been somewhat successful in counter insurgency operations it largely just fills a role that is better covered by a dedicated helicopter.

A little history on the BMD it designed after the bmp-1 and was made to be a more armored troop transport/IFV with a secondary tube to fire a brand new ATGM so the rocket could be fired at a target from where the barrel is and can be reloaded from inside and it could be reloaded faster Not only that it was made so it can take AP 50. Cal rounds that threatens the BMP-1/BMP-2 (once the bmp 2 was made). While keeping a 30mm to defeat soft targets So that is why the BMD was made

BMD is the IFV of the paratroopers of the Russian Armed Forces - the elite VDV. It's air-dropped either alongside with the troops or with troops inside right from the start. BMD's are considerably better equipped in terms of firepower, than the BMP's of the mechanized infantry (the motostrelki, from the Wargame :) ) or the marines - because the VDV operate either behind enemy lines or on the flanks or in other places as per requirement of the current strategy - either way they operate where they are detached from the bulk of the force and can't be supported by MBT's. Along with the 30 mm 2A42 autocannon, BMD's have a 100-mm 2A70 smoothbore launcher-cannon, that shoots HE shells as well as ATGM missiles. BMD's are also more sophisticated machines in other equipment and mechanics. For example, BMD's have hydropneumatic suspension allowing it to change ground clearance by 40 cm in seconds, so it can either have a very low profile, allowing to be used covertly, and at the same time it can rise and shoot from behind higher obstacles/cover. BMD's come with a panoramic sight too. BMD's are obviously more expensive machines, than the BMP's. There are various modifications of it exist: artillery pieces (125 / 152 mm), tank-destroyer (125 mm), tank-destroyer (ATGM), AA variant, APC. All of which are air-droppable. The names of these machines: BMD - БМД - Боевая Машина Десанта - Fighting Vehicle of the Paratroopers - PFV BMP - БМП - Боевая Машина Пехоты - Fighting Vehicle of the Infantry - IFV

Can’t wait until the Skyraider gets added to DCS. It’s arguably the most successful strike aircraft of all time. It got used in Korea and Vietnam. They used it for everything strike missions, Mid-air refueling, AWACS, Sidewinder testing, heli escort, troop transport, a toilet bomb, and even nuclear weapons. Later versions used the power plant from the B-29 and had a max payload of 8,000 Lbs (or 3,600Kg) while still being relatively small in comparison to aircraft used in similar roles. It could carry more ordinance than a B-17 with a wide variety of choices ranging from bombs, napalm, torpedos, mine dispensers, unguided rockets, and even the 20mm Vulcan Gunpods that were on the phantoms. It remains my favorite prop plane of all time for just how OP it was for a prop plane. They even got 2 Mig-17 kills with it. If you haven’t read up on the Skyraider it’s a must read. The most criminally underrated strike aircraft of all time IMO. Nobody ever talks about them and it makes me sad.

[@areus2016]

The BMD is a light ifv that is characterized by its light weight, fast speed, and excellent traverability. The BMP is a slow, armored fighting vehicle made for storming defensive positions, while the BMD is a fast in and out vehicle. Usually, it drops off troops during a storming operation, or it is used to storm the scattered positions of the enemy where they do not have any immediate means of retaliation. The idea is that a position is taken before artillery has the chance to respond.

29:46 I deadass put on duel of the fats and it matched so well

[@dvinson1029]

Dude what you said about Battlefield 1 vs 2042 is exactly how I feel about The historical Total War games and the fantasy ones.

[@bodenplatte1360]

Hey Drew! You were asking about the BMD series of IFV...so it is basically just a smaller BMP that is used by the VDV/Russian airborne forces, designed to fit in IL-76s and shit like that. For instance, the BMD-4 has a similar turret and armament to the BMP-3 (30mm and larger HE/missile launch tube), but on a smaller chassis. Also, there is the 2S25 Sprut-SDM, a Russian light tank that is not really in full production yet, but is really cool because it has the chassis of a BMD-4, but has the 125 autoloaded gun from the Russian main battle tanks. Sincerely, a War Thunder player lol

On minute 40, your Sidewinders weren't working because you had to uncage them with TMS Up short. The little circle starts moving and once it gets a lock, you get a tone. Then weapons release and splash.

[@RyderSchäfer2002]

god i love DCS, its expensive but that little interaction you had at the beginning is one of the biggest reasons why its such a great sim

[@William3000x]

39:42 To get the AIM-9s to lock the target, you must be on HUD SOI, press TMS Up to make them active search and auto lock. The Boresight Circle in the HUD will start spinning and it should get a solid lock when the missile sees the heat source. Then you're good to shoot them.

For a fraction of a second you can see that the landing gear lever is up at 37:15 and 37:21 then there is a cut in the video and at 37:28 you can see that the gear lever is down, so it probably got put down between cuts.

[@PatrickRatman]

LMAO that landing gear and the end brought back some painful memories. had that happen to me before while trying to strafe some AAA with bombs and was absolutely livid that i couldnt figure why it wasn't working. same situation guy comes on the radio and says "check landing gear"

[@nabblschnur]

Had the same happening to me also a couple times. But you can see quite easily if your landing gear is down when you look at the landing altitude indication marker right in front. If anything is illuminated there you know there is a problem ;)

[@PatrickRatman]

@@nabblschnur yeah it was just the panic of not knowing what to do in the heat of the moment. its the same as remembering to check if master arm is on. once you do it you dont stop doing it lol.
