Check out the Store: www.longshotstore.com/ Join the Discord channel: discord.gg/drNE6bT Hey guys! In this DCS World Simulator video I'm in the F16 Viper striking alone an S300 SAM Site with the CBU97 and the AGM65 Maverick. My mission is to clear that SAM site and then I could get some cover from Friendly's. Hope you guys enjoy!
Just noticed it. I really like how they have the wing flex modeled! I'm sure someone already has them, but I'd think they should have a "boost" motor on a CBU, so you could lob them farther out.
You know what I never see from the DSC RU-vid community is SU 33 videos? Like take offs intercept, bombing runs, landings ex ex. I know your supposed to be a flanker guy. 😜
Out of countermeasures that fast is one of the main weaknesses of a tiny airframe like a Viper. Great SEAD work, you put on a master class for all of us to enjoy!
Great video, would love to see one where you have to acquire the target in a more dynamic environment first, because usually the location of the site is not known before hand
Love the shots I’m seeing (pun slightly intended). Mixing in the ones from the weapons stations makes it feel even more dynamic, and just looks badass.
Imagine if you were just chillin' on your front porch and this F-16 rips past you at 400 knots. Unrelated, does anyone else feel like BVR engagements feel kind of like knights jousting?
As always, your excellent play-by-play- keeps us right there beside you. Great mission and if I'm not mistaken, recent improvements in the editing have made for thoroughly enjoyable and high-quality entertainment - great video! Thanks, L.S.
Nice bonus that you knew where the SAM was from the beginning. A lot of Wild Weasels have to bait the missiles into firing, then trace the smoke trail back to the launcher. Of course, first they have to dodge the missiles.
Awesome video man! Out of curiosity, do you normally like your cockpit view zoomed out that much? I feel like I need to fly zoomed in much further to see anything.
I wish you'd do a video on your head tracking setup at some point. I have a track IR but never use it because i can never get it set up and functioning properly
You've just simulated a potentially incoming war between Morocco and Algeria in North Africa. Morocco owns the F16s and Algeria is all Russian arsenal. Great vid!
That was amazing to watch, you really know how to handle the Viper. A question: how did you acquire the exact location of the site? Was it a known location and you had a WP set up, or did you acquire it on the go?
Suppose in a real life situation you are just going to live by the old adage " make one pass and then haul ass " I imagine your probably not coming back with the mavericks
Thanks for uploading this video Longshot - SEAD and DEAD is my favourite mission - I have severak books about SEAD all the way from the Vietnam war (yes I know they called it Iron Hand/Wild Weaseling back then) and all the way up until modern times (Balkans/Iraq post 9/11). Have a great week Sir - blue skies! o7
Nice, but can be a bit more realistic. In all parts of terain whit radar shadow its normal to deploy at least MANPADs. It whoud be interesting to see this in scenario. Plus layered defence means something like defence in depth. First MANPADs and AA, then medium range aka Tunguska, TOR and S1, then BUK and S-300/400 whit its own short-medium defence. Certanly not bunched together like at target range. But then its hard to make a scenario where you dont get toasted in first few minutes.
Hey longshot do you have any recommendations for a hotas I’m looking at the x56 or t16000 I’m aware the the x56 is supposed to have quality control issues but I’m looking for something cheap as of now I’m using an Xbox controller and my phone for head tracking. Thanks
Don't know much about the t16000, I use to run the x56, I'm still using the throttle, I think It's good, the stick is not that accurate, but over all, It's a fine set to start. You can see my set up in the description
Not to ruin everyone's fun :) . But next time add a couple of TOR and Tunguskas, Manpads and AAA. Just to make it an actual S-300 site. And bring a couple of buddies ofc.
:sees Longshot dodge SAM: Yo Longshot ,you should set up then show off the Enemy Behind Lines Scenario- and how to properly do it right! lol It was cool getting to see the FLIR- or was tha tthe maverick's own sensor?
I think many in Ukraine may have been watching your videos maybe? 😮 I’m not a pilot so I don’t know how ‘real’ DCS is but as a ‘lay person’ it looks epic :) I may be wrong but I read India was looking at the CBU-97/105 for its airforce? I used your videos to inform my 1/72 model builds :)
Yes! My Discord, great people and a channel dedicated for that, you are more then welcom to join, you can also fly with people there to show you and help out
