That's just wild. Throwing a bomb just shy of 40 miles out and not just making it the distance, but also being dead on accurate. Come a long ways from picking them up off the cockpit floor and dropping them over the trenches, eh? Blows the mind, lol.
isotaan in Matt Wagners preview of the JSOW he used it like a normal human from like Angels 25 and he got almost 40nm of range so if sound did this you could maybe get like 70nm out if the JSOW
@@masterhighground3677 That is IF the JSOW will not be hampered by its guidance and control surfaces when lofting it. There is, as far as I know, a lofting mode, which should eliminate that problem. Hopefully we'll get that fairly soon!
@@skatterpro At the rate they're going, I don't think ED is going to complete many of the weapon systems for a while. JSOW PP/TOO is being done because some of the work was already done with the JDAM. But there's another mode (I forget which right now) we won't get for a while. The HARM has SP/TOO modes, but not PP mode. The Harpoon is after the JSOW, but it will release with only Bearing-Only-Launch mode, but not the other modes. What ED is doing is introducing each weapon system while saying they plan on going back to finish them out. They're probably doing it to placate Hornet drivers who are clamoring for them to get it finished.
The JDAM has an oscillating sinusoidal glide path? I thought that was one of the Paveway II's attributes that the JDAM corrects with a more gracefully tapering glide path.
Either DCS doesn't model it right or the real world JDAM must do this to burn off/add knots, it knows how far it it is to its target and how fast it's going, these oscillations are the "throttle" so to speak for this gliding hunk'o'splosives.
6:13 that’s the DCS ground damage model for you. Last night was taking on the radar guide ZSU23 with F18 cannon, 200 rounds into it and it was still tracking and shooting!
Possible idea: longest manually guided guns kill? Like have have one person fly in a straight line and see how far out you can nail him from using just the mark 1 eyeball
@@Dolph_Vader - i think they effectively "disappear" at 3k feet seems like it i've tried max range shots but it seems like all you're ever doing is wasting ammo if you're shooting max range but if you can get effective hits, i'd love to see it : )
Good video! Did the JDAM only take out 1 launcher? The main SAM radar was untouched. It should still be able to fire, unless I missed something? How accurate is the AGM-88 model? Could you do a video that covers HARM launches?
JDAMs can really do this [irl]? It's hard to believe those little stakes in the front (so incredibly small when compared to the rest of the bomb, and I didn't think they were 'airfoils', more just like flat fins), and then tail fins for guidance, could actually lift the thing... Actually allow it to turn upward and gain altitude (granted that it's at the expense of kinetic energy).
If you do this again you have to add in what the real PVO uses. Stick a couple of TOR and Tunguska at the island corners for PGM point defense. American CIWS can shoot down a mortar round, JDAM even easier. If DCS doesn't model that right then we need to bug Eagle Deezy...
ONA Ya, in the real world that bomb never would have survived. I understand they can even zap Mavericks so you have to launch 2 or 3 in succession to try to overwhelm them. But this was fun!
I don't think it's modelled in DCS at the moment. I suspect the S-300 would be able to shoot down a JDAM no problem in reality, given it can hit HARMs and such.
I'd say you need to get a life and have wayyy too much time on your hands, but I just DL'd 2 entire "Campaigns" of the Reapers/Hellhounds so I can watch them at home instead of TV. Good stuff Cap. Very informative and entertaining. No need for HARM's if you have Jdams and a GPS location for the target. Now, could you program a Phoenix to do this? Now THERE'S an idea!!! F-14 anti-radiation strikes with an AIM-54.
Lot 20, Block 51 They're very different planes with different design philosophies. The F/A-18 is supposed to be able to do every fast jet mission, from combat air patrol to close air support to SEAD to anti-ship. The F-16CJ we're getting later this year is a Wild Weasel variant. It can carry some (but not all) of the weapons that the F/A-18C can carry.
The F/A-18C simulated in DCS is a Lot 20 circa 2005. If I recall correctly the BuNo in the cockpit represents the second-to-last F/A-18C produced for the US Navy. The F-16C Block 50 simulated in DCS will be a CCIP upgraded aircraft circa 2007. In terms of systems, the differences between them will be more nuanced than extreme, seeing as how they're with two years of each other and part of the same armed forces, and thus share a lot of systems between the two. For example, the F-18 in DCS can use AIM-7 Sparrows, while the F-16 in DCS will have the HARM Targeting System, but both will have things like Link 16, AMRAAMs, JHMCS, relatively similar radar and RWRs, etc. In terms of what's showcased in the video (JDAM tossing an S-300), the F-16 in DCS should be capable of the same feat once it gets JDAM itself.
Defeating the SA10 at 800 knots? You'll never be able to do that on a Misión with a SCL (standard loadout) In fact, is quite dificult to know the exact position of a SAM site like this. By the way, an AGM-88 has similar range (+/-35 nm), and don't need coordinates. Anyway, nice vid and thanks for sharing.
@@ravagetalon yes but if you are looking for targets of oportunity in theory you could just get the position of a target and just bomb it i guess is possible in real life
@@grimreapers thank you ! also wanted to know why we can only have 4 of them even with the J82 while in real life you could carry more, I leave a link of a pic: the-drive-2.imgix.net/https%3A%2F%2Fapi.thedrive.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F06%2Fkahdah525252.jpg%3Fquality%3D85?w=1440&auto=compress%2Cformat&ixlib=js-1.2.1&s=86dd7fe7fb91cbcc1733dd93259bbafd
well obviously the modeling of weight in dcs needs a serious overhaul... ...or rather drag. I mean, look at this thing... It´s not slowing down at all. I havent done calculations yet, but I just cant imagine a freefalling bomb holding speeds beyond 800 knots for very long after release. After all: If drag would be modeled reasonable, we would see that the bomb (in the stage where it´s at 850knots and pointing into the sea) would need to point steeper and steeper into the sea to maintain it´s speed. And even if it was about to point into the sea perpendicular, I cant imagine it to hold beyond one mach.
@@grimreapers Cap Confirmed for Time Bandit, vector all Victors to his location, we need Maverick to rendezvous with Major William Cage if we're going to defeat the Omega!
