Check out the Store: www.longshotstore.com/ Join the Discord channel: discord.gg/drNE6bT Hey guys! In this DCS World Simulator video Growling Sidewinder and me flying in a strike mission. GS is in the A10 Warthog and I'm in the F16 Viper. We got to some issue with some SU35 Flankers... Hope you guys enjoy!
... why the SA-3 system did not fire. I'm curious how high you were and at what distance did you shoot? At first glance, it doesn't look like you're out of range of those missiles
Damn, that was entertaining. I thought the Dynamic Duo would pull it off but I guess you can't win them all. I respect that you guys both show your wins AND losses. 👍
GS: "Do you want me to sidewinder him for you...?" LS: "Yeah, please.... that's gonna be really helpful" GS: "Wait, did I jettison those...? Oh no..." I laughed so hard on that one 🤣🤣
Love you guys flying together!!! Makes my day! At least you took out the target. Might've been a good idea to frag the runway FIRST! ;D We need MORE of the GS and LS combat team. ;D
I had been conceptualizing a combined arms strike in Arma 3 or DCS were a combination of CUAV, transport choppers, A-10s and F-16s would be used to layer a strike against any possible variety of targets. As in CUAV is armed overwatch, a chopper brings a team in, A-10 pounds ground targets and F-16 performs SEAD and air superiority. Very cool to see a part of that performed!
This was great ! Fantastic ! I loved seeing the 2 of you work together. Please do more team work videos like this. GS Worthog needs cover, Longshot your his cover.
The DEAD part of the mission went right. Thankfully, there was only one air defense radar. When Longshot said radar contacts, I thought they were Mig-29s but to my absolute horror, they were the next worst thing. SU-35s with AESA radars, fox threes, and ECM pods.
Heartbreak that the sidewinder's got jettisoned. I understand the reasoning for it, but would've been so interesting to see if those could've turned the fight. maybe just ditch the ground bombs going forward lol Great vid, would love to see more like it :D
I've never really considered it before, but why doesn't the A-10 have the ability to carry HARMs? Is it just not fast enough to have a good range for them or something?
Lol when he said he'd take him, it reminded me of the scene in the original Top Gun when Maverick told Iceman to take the shot, J-C! I can take the shot from here!
@@LongShotChannel don’t sweat it. It really adds to the atmosphere that this indeed isn’t scripted. Makes for a far more immersive and engaging viewing experience.
I have the same problem with not getting locks with the F-16. Even with datalink when I can tell the target's distance and altitude relative to myself I just can't make it work a good 60% of the time. Is it a bug, is there something I've been missing, or does the F-16 radar just suck against hot targets below your altitude?
