It wont be regular videos like before though, just when I have something to contribute! ;)
"Returned" but only when the muse gives me something worth making a video on :) To manage expectations, please don't expect weekly releases again... that's a full time job in and of itself, and I already have one which pays waaaaaaaaaay better! :)
@@supercrew63 I have the Maximum Motorsports K Member but need to make the actual motor mounts to mount the engine to it. If I was using a coyote, this would be easy and done already.
an S300/400 never would operate alone it would be integrated in an IADS with short and medium SAMs around it to protect it from such threads like low flying aircraft..thats what DCS player get wrong....
Yes... and no... as someone who has rebuilt the Soviet Era IADS using Google Earth, that certainly depends on the era. This particular site is protected under the envelope of ANOTHER S-300 near Gudauta... allegedly there are either SA-19, or SA-22 (Pantsir) at these sites, but unlike the S-400 in Kaliningrad, which those systems are visible, none are visible here. Doesn't mean they aren't in a garage somewhere, they just aren't visible... and being in a garage is a bad place for SHORAD. Further, this technique isn't able to be countered by these systems at this particular site as IRL the trees make it impossible to see out over the water. Even an SA-19 at this site in game is going to struggle. The 15 is similarly going to struggle but do better. I have run this very technique against SA-20A and B in DCS defended by every ounce of SHORAD in the game and still made it through thanks to the short presentation time to those threats. MANPADS make it difficult on the pop up but are generally not at these sites. IRL, in the 80s when the S-300 was rolling out replacing SA-2 and SA-3, they were initially protected by ZSU-23 and SA-19. The SA-15 was never attached to the S-300 Air Defense Brigades or Regiments. At any rate, doing this over land is significantly easier thanks to terrain masking. Having made a point to destroy these systems in DCS campaigns and Liberations which set up full blown IADS, the tactic is repeatable. :) Hope that helps! Maybe I'll do a video on the Google Earth map I have of the Soviet Era IADS. Always fun to discuss SAMs! :)

Understandable. An occasional one just makes it a special occasion
Ayy no way! You're back!
Let's not get TOO far ahead of ourselves here ;) DCS Content is going to come in, sporadically as the "muse" provides me with video ideas! :D
The king came back
Maybe! We'll see where the muse takes us. Videos on a consistent basis will not be a thing for the foreseeable future!
wow pretty long break but welcome.... And how's that 6.2 fox body coming?
Stalled, sadly, at basically the same place it was when I moved LOL! Basically waiting on me to learn to weld and come up with the motor mounts.
I thought you got a custom cradle from Mustangs Unlimited.If not check them out

:O HE LIVES
Rumors of my death have been GREATLY exaggerated! >:D
Come back to WoWs! You are missed out here, we need you now!
