      1. Should invite _Growling Sidewinder_ to one of your missions.
      2. Should also have had Ukraine airfields available to land on. Many are in pretty rough shape (even before the war) but at least they'd serve to save a ~125M€ airframe (I averaged the €90€ + 160M€ unit procurement costs for Germany (2007) and Span (2010))
      I know nothing about DCS or its map editor or whether making use of known airfields in the combat area is even possible (if not, that's a failing of DCS), but it's not an unreasonable expectation to have Ukraine controlled airfields available for landing and refuelling in such a high risk mission.

    At high altitude at supersonic speeds you should manage over 165 (normal!) miles out of a METEOR when attacking something as large and slow as an AWACS cruising around at 25,000 ft. That's about the extreme range of CAPTOR in search and track mode against a large non-stealthy plane as well. I suspect the RADAR is under modelled in DCS as it's non AESA (so not sexy) - however it's actually better at extreme range search and track than most if not all AESA fighter RADARs as most AESA RADARs still have cooling issues in sustained high power search modes.

  • @ohiobrian8993

    You should learn air tactics. 2 flights of 2 aircraft each , flying very close together to appear as 2 aircraft on radar. A third and fourth flight of 2 aircraft each, playing decoy to pull russian fighters out of your approach, and add tankers for return trip. Also fa18 growler to provide jamming and radar suppression.

      @@damonried1720 yeah that's what I thought at first. However, if an entire flight goes directly for your AWACS on a suicide run, you might think this was the beginning of a far bigger assault that will already be en route so might take the risk of leaving it up, in the hope it is alive long enough to show you what the follow up force is. Or that it's a feint to force you east to make a small gap in the coverage somewhere else for some sneaky shit.

    wouldn't a realistic option be to land at a Ukrainian airport? I mean, if NATO is sending in fighters to destroy Russian assets, they might as well ask Ukraine for a landing strip. Mykolaiv and Kryvyi Rih were well within your reach. And considering that, you would have traded 2 Eurofighters for an AWACS, 2 SU-35s and a strategic disaster for Russia.

    When the TU Delft looked at the Meteor missiles, the found it had "150 miles of range with potential for more".
    My own conclusion is that they looked at the missile being fired from some worst case situation like lower altitude and subsonic plane. Other numbers I saw said the meteor was good for 175 mls.
    What other factors are necessary to get these nubers I can't tell. One thing is sure: A Eurofighter with Meteors AMRAAMs and Iris-Ts in the packet is a damn scary opponent. SU-35s probably will get roasted when they pick fights with them. All others doubly so.

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, and it may have to wait until TopGun Maverick is home released... but I have a maneuver question I need the reapers expert analysis on:
    During the final air sequence, in trying to evade the SU-57 in the tomcat, he pulls some kind of move where he 'splits the throttles', pushes down on one of the rudder pedals and throws the stick to one side to perform some kind of physics-defying move.
    Since the pilot shouts the phrase "splitting throttles", and the control inputs are shown in relative detail (if very quickly), it has the feeling of an F-14 urban legend type move (maybe a bit like the Snodgrass over the top, flaps move?). Have you ever heard of this on your travels?

    Really really love the Ukraine serries you guys are doing.
    Scenario:
    Ukraine assets only. Stuff the Ukrainians either for sure have or could get (MiG-29s from Poland included, as well as Bayraktar drones). The point of this is to serverely impact Russia's ability to maintain their war machine from Crimea, and give the ground forces the potential to come into Crimea.
    1st wing comes in and needs to take out the AWACS.
    Neptune missiles, maybe Bayraktar drones, something, or a group of aircraft take out sea assets around the Kerch bridge.
    Third-wave comes in and take out the Kerch bridge.
    Fourth takes out a fuel depot perhaps located in Dzhankoi in Crimea?
    Super important to save assets. Real-world cant just sacrifice assets. Drones are more sacraficial, but still cant be just sacrificed on a whim.
    Timing will need to be impeccable. Im guessing take out the AWACS from the west, draw airborne assets, then take out the bridge from the southwest.
    Is this doable? 🤷

Besides that, given the fact not all ukraine is controlled by russia, you may have landed in some ukrainian hrld landing trip on the wertern side of the contry. Or try to get a tanker closer just after the attack. You should also arrange a second wave of attackers, just to shoot down all those momentary blinden Flankers and Foxhounds.

      As of right now the EF2000 has no Buddy Store implemented. I dont know if there are additional power connections needed to use it or if it is just a question of software implemation. Also, I dont see that NATO would use such a small attack force to attack such a high value target, if it is defended by several SU-35. In real life such an asset would see a bigger effort, with several groups of EF2000, really heavy ECM and EW units and AAR would also be handled. Also I really think that "150 Miles" is a very conservative number for a Meteor, especially if you launch it high and fast. And lastly, the EFs could launch the meteors and go cold right away since the friendly AWACS can guide the Meteors. There are almost 200 NATO fighters in high alert as a reaction to this war as of right now, also there will be also over a 100 planes from finnland and sweden joining so there is no need to send 2 guys on a suicide run

    So many factors like time to react IF you are in reaction mode or attacking mode.Then what about zerg attacks if 500 missiles were incoming how many could be successfully eliminated and how much time would be needed to deploy in reaction mode so then how much loss would be incurred if too much time to react was needed?What if some key bases were targeted and destroyed eliminating those reaction bases?
    There is a chain reaction when comes to losses because new deployment needs to takeover for eliminated forces and how long would that take and what if that deployment was needed and counted on elsewhere?
    SO what if China AND Russia launched a combined attack effort on several fronts?
    Being in REACTIVE mode is a huge negative as witnessed by the Ukraine war.Reactive mode means you have already taken losses already had strategic bases eliminated airfields eliminated etc etc.
    This is of course why intelligence is so important but even though Nato was certain Russia was about to attack the response was very slow and mostly inefficient.SO imo there is no easy prediction wars are not fought on paper or opinions but contain large areas of CHAOTIC environments.

      no they can't all su-30SM and su-35 operation in ukraine carry R-77M active radar missile with 190 km range not much "inferior" than meteor at all . there are no picture russian jet in ukraine carry old and outdate R-27 anymore . add in AWAC and S-400 radar cover tracking non-stealth typhoon aren't problem
