39:20 Pro tip: When using Sidewinders, select HUD as SOI and go TMS Up short, that uncages the Sidewinder seeker and starts doing a conical scan (you'll see the circle going around a bit), and it'll lock onto any plane it finds, so you don't have to aim so perfectly.

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.

BMD is so small because it was made for airborn troops and so it could fit in a back of IL-96. You don't see a lot of those now because VDV can be considered Red Book species at this point.

[@Destroyedearth]

Also they really sucked in Afghanistan, the soldiers hated it.

[@TheRedneckGamer1979]

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.

[@jasonwilliam1876]

The BMD-1 is a Soviet airborne amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle, which was introduced in 1969 and first seen by the West in 1970. BMD stands for Boyevaya Mashina Desanta (Боевая Машина Десанта, which literally translates to "Combat Vehicle of the Airborne").

[@ZarviroffSerge]

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

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

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.

The center of mass is usually fairly close to (and in front of) the landing gear for any plane. The further away it is the harder it can be to rotate on takeoff. So removing that gun it's not particularly surprising that the center of mass would move far enough back to be behind the landing gear.

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.

16:06 Even BFV took itself more serious then 2042. I still remember soldiers in that game reacting to things in game. Like a American Marine yelling stuff like “And this is for everyone back home!” before eviscerating a type 97 with a bazooka.

i love these videos where drewski will play the gaem but then talk about a story from when he was a kid its so funny

[@gamble185]

Just today, I bought the A10-C II in sale for 50% off and I'm super hyped. Gotta say your video kinda made my day!

Hey there super good content, what server is this looks super fun

[@rnghitman1831]

Hey Drew, I love your gameplay and I am currently looking for a populated server to play in which is a mix of air and ground but still keeping it modern, unlike enigma's cold war servers. Do you have any suggestions?

[@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.

[@someonefromabroad5563]

BMD is basically a tracked infantry fire support vehicle small and light enough to be airdropped, so its usually found in the VDV airborne troops. Like with its big brother, the BMP, survivability isnt very good.

[@danny7500]

Whats your setting on the graphic? Video looks good mate.

[@Oz_Gnarly_One]

For future reference the landing gear warning in on the HUD. Lower left side.

This is a hell of a video to fall asleep to in the middle of the day in a car on your wait to Florida on a trip

Drewski DCS content is mint 🔥

Regarding the Hornet at the beginning, I see formation lights on in the daytime, and I know all I need to know about its pilot. :) Its amazing how much more lethal the Hawg has become since we got the Scorpion HMCS. One day we will get the ARC-210 radio that was supposed to come with it to make comms simpler.

Honestly, I don't think this is very cool, but I've met a A10 Pilot at my school. It was during our veteran's day celebration. He was a baseball player back in 2004 or 2005 and joined the air force after high school. He talked about the complexity of the plane and how unique it was. Even saw a video of him during some training exercise. It was pretty neat to see. Of course, I don't really know if that's really even cool, but it was cool to me at least,

[@jasbonkers520]

That’s cool man!

[@OperatorDrewski]

That’s cool man!

That's cool man!

[@populasmario]

@@OperatorDrewski I now feel blessed

[@Kaelland]

The BMD is newer than the BMP (by about 3 years) and was designed to basically do the same thing as the BMP, but for airborne units.

[@Leon_Portier]

Nice! The prototype looks all kinds of funny
