Leading a Realistic Strike Package with 8 Pilots 

Boys, more RoN Ironman on the way. In the interim, feast your eyes on this BANGER of a video. You're welcome for my service 🤘

Real quick, incase anyones wondering, at 12:36 when Pairs asked “why can’t I shoot this thing” in regards to firing his agm-88 at the mad 4, the reasons simple! If you listen carefully you may notice an important sound missing, there’s no RWR alerts. They weren’t actually being nailed by the SAM battery, but instead were receiving its approximate position over data link from another aircraft. The anti radiation missiles in vtol will not track over just data link, you do need to be receiving nails. Hope this helps -a big time vtol nerd

I would never have imagined that f15 strike eagle on my c64 would be this one day. 13 year old me is mighty impressed.

Ah, mid-air refueling, the true boss battle.

That APU running in the BG just guzzling fuel lmfao. Great vid man

I love how milsimy they were until the carrier landing

Honeatly would love to see more of these! As a DCS F-14 guy, I've always wished I could have a few more modern toys to play with, then comes along the EF-24G... I don't have VR, but man if I did, this is all I would fly haha.

Gives me the same adrenaline as those Karmakut ARMA videos with all the co-ordination going on.

Man you need to host a community discord event for vtol we need more immersive co op events and with the right people it works so well just like this video so please do host one day it would be awesome

The vibes, professional yet not boring, the cool mission. Im subbed

Very nice video, and awesome to see that you guys are doing the Mil-sim approach in VTOL-VR! Some tidbits from a DCS guy flying with a USN CVW: Planning wise, the strike package (Alpha Strike) could have been set-up to form a more coordinated and “safe” approach for your mission. What is usually done, is setting up an initial tanker plan for all package elements, then common rendezvous point outside the threat area (Push point). A strike package usually contains several elements: Sweep, which is the first guys going in who takes care of the air picture. SEAD, who are 2nd in just after the Sweep to suppress/destroy the SAM threats, and lastly the Strikers, who takes care of the ground targets. Just for reference, this is what a CVW-17 strike package could look like. We do all the planning ahead mission in a google presentation, but it’s off course personal preference that goes. Flight roster & armament: Victory 1 (VY1), Strike section of two F-14 tomcats, armed with 4x 1,000lbs JDAMS each. Joker 2 (JR2), SEAD section of 2x F/A-18 Hornets, armed with AGM-88 HARMs. Blaster 3 (BR3), Sweep section of 2x F/A-18s, armed with AIM-120s. Hard-deck FL220 (So if there are any pesky bastards with MANPADs, they can’t reach up ;) ) Essentially, after aerial refuelling we rejoin at the Push point, conduct a strike package check-in, then at the pre-briefed time slots, we push at the common pushpoint with the same ground speed, which sets up the ingress formation. Usually we have Sweep at 60nm ahead of Strike, and SEAD 20nm ahead of Strike. The mission commander is usually with the strike flight. If there is any enemy air threat doing CAP, or a quick response force on the airfield, the Sweep takes care of it outside the SAM WEZ, allowing the SEAD to destroy the SAMs without disturbance. Usually all fighters have some kind of Self Escort capability, so if there are any leakers, SEAD or STRIKE can take care of themselves. With the 40nm separation between SEAD and strike, it gives enough time for the SEAD to do their job, so once SAMs are down Strike goes to Initial Point, ingress for attack, drops their bombs, then everyone egress with SWEEP still loitering around for package escort. Once everyone out, we do a quick chicken count to see if everyone is still airborne and without damage, then go home to the boat for a nice and comfy carrier landing. (Extra fun with doing all above mentioned at night, then do CASE 3 landing after 2 hour mission 😂) Pretty long rant, but this is pretty much how a USN-NATO strike package would be conducted. Can be simplified as much as needed for the mission requirements, and available pilots. If you got any questions, send a DM out to “Stridspiloten” on Discord.

After takeoff check: 1. Gear up 2. Flaps up 3. Right hand turn directly in the path of my wingman that took off the same time as me 👍🏽

Need to trim off some fat on those Mach 1 carrier landings but great mission. You guys are so much fun to watch.

love seeing this more milsim style gameplay in Vtol VR... still amazed this is only made by one person.

25:16 Boom operator: BREAKAWAY BREAK AWAY BREAK AWAY!!!!!!

I love planes quite a lot a definitely will be getting this game!

Maaaaaan doing this same sort of mission but including an Apache flight to provide CAS.. so hot. Fixed wing SEAD and CAP first as the AHs infil. Like the dream combined arms situation.

Let’s ignore the fact that half of use missed the launch bar on the first mission 😳

this is the reason why i love vtol vr

great mission and thanks for sharing he mission files!

Really underrated video, loved the style!

Legit clicked on this thinking it was a new Growling Sidewinder video

Right now I'm playing Warplanes WWII until I can graduate to this game. This game does my head in with all the controls. Great video Pairs!

I cant wait to get my pc so i can finally run games like this

Well done. I really need more time in the 24 to get used to it. Looks great.

This is BADASS

when you're refuelling small inputs pairs or you'll get PIO just like that

1:58 my fiancée looked over at my phone and accused me of looking at a… uh…. “Gentleman Sausage” at this point. 😂

Have you ever been able to complete the Stealth Strike mission in the F45? I have yet to beat that one lol.

Great video. Lots of action and fun stuff

btw you can lift the launch bar switch before you are airborne to reduce the load of switching 1000 switches immediately after takeoff

This really shows the potential that VR VTOL has to give

Been watching your content since DK2 and have been addicted to this game for a while. I’d love to fly with you sometime 🤙

If you were cleared to land at the airfield, why did you go back to the tanker instead of refueling at the airfield you just captured? I guess "realism" that no one on the ground would be able to run the maintenance stuff for you.

Great video, but it would be better if you lowered the S-cam FOV

this is awesome

Quality is rare good

Really nice vid, keep up the good job!

poor ground crew getting swiped by the wings then gettin smacked by radiation

Hey dude, could we get some 'Camera looking at you' action for VTOL vids? I'm so curious about the gear you're using. I've flown in VR a couple times and everytime it feels so cumbersome because I don't have an actual stick or throttle to rest my arms on. Are you somehow using real stick/throttle?

What background music did you use? I might wanna use that in a future VTOL video of mine.

This kind of mission and communication is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Sadly been disappointed in the public servers as of late. Please start a discord if you don’t have one already. Also is Hypo in aviation??

That recovery was hard to watch. Need to get yourself some rudder pedals, twist stick is awful. Feel free to hit me up if you want some help with your recoveries.

here i am, waiting for ready or not

When is the next iron man campaign video

I need in on this lol

The fishy doesn’t swim!!!!

Commenting for the next episodes of the RoN Ironman series!

Good stuff man, I'm subbed.

is this a joinable group?

THANK YOU

I love so much your videos, mate

Where the hell can I find friends to do this with lol

1:05 anyone else see a cursed face?

How do you do the fov? I haven’t been able to figure it out

There is flat something WRONG with those fuel pods. Those things are gone damn near INSTANTLY. No bigger option? No additional slots? No CFTs?! // Also...what's the code for releasing a decoy missle?

what group do you do these missions with? i have been looking for a more serious vtolvr group to do missions like this with but I can only find groups full of squeakers and screamers.

anybody done an airshow yet? formation flying, etc etc

why does APU need to stay on until youre airborne? never had an issue with it off before takeoff

Refueling in the air is impossible for me. How do you keep your altitude and speed so easy? I don't know if it's just my overcorrection or if the Quest 2 isn't tracking my inputs that well.

Where’s the ready or not play through?

wow

yeeeeeew!

play thunder tier one!! plz

awesome video def got a sub from me man keep up the awesome content!

Dagger Attack

Please tell me how to change FOV

Hate to be that guy, but whens the new Ready or not video

More ready or not please 😢

Can I join your squadron? I have the game but have not played it yet. I am more interested in making online friends and playing games with people.

Anybody know how to get this game on the quest 3?

awesome

So nice to see some dedicated play. So tired of the silly, clowning around vtol videos.

👍

Plz teach me how to play this game. Lol.

Can we talk about his lack of middle stick use SMH unrealistic disliked + L + cope For those who don’t get it THIS IS A JOKE

Realistic and VTOL VR shouldn’t be in the same sentence
