Superior flying and management of your aircraft. Very impressive flying through the city. Your #2 appeared to not have much altitude when avoiding SAM launch, guess I was wrong. Definitely enjoyed your flight recovery on the carrier.
fairTX they are tons of fun to play once you learn everything. Its a bit daunting at first, but the network is leagues better than tarkov... if you ever take it up and want a mentor just hit me up.
That was absolutely fantastic. That approach through the city was incredible. Dodging that first SAM was super cool, such a great job staying together and comms. Again again!!
Beautiful flying mate! Myself and a wingy are practicing, trying to get to that level. The breaking against fire and formation flying was especially amazing, bloody great SA!
I wish I had the alpha of a hornet Living to fight slow when others scorn it When I can still pitch and roll That other guy's going out of control I wish I had the alpha of a hornet
Well, aside from the fact that the Hornet carries the typical 20mm Vulcan, I wouldn't call what the Hornet carries "lots of fuel". xD The Flanker has roughly double the internal fuel capacity and more than double the effective range/mission radius of the Hornet. Even with 3 fuel tanks, the Flanker still carries more than half a ton(metric) more fuel *internally.* ;)
SD501st I think you misunderstood. The verses go: I wish I had: A gun just like the A-10 8 AMRAAMs like the Eagle The gas just like a Mud Hen The alpha of a Hornet The Flanker (kinda) has all of those things.
Not trying to talk smack, but it's so refreshing to see a video from you. You guys are sharp as hell unlike other DCS'ers. My only gripe is you don't put out enough content, but hey when you do it's like crack cocaine! Thanks for the upload Ralfi.
carrier pattern and landing still need work! that ingress was intense though! nice job avoiding all that stuff! that sneaky overtake into the 'canyon' of buildings was nice too!
Nice to see you using the plane to what degree you can so far with it being Alpha. I found it pretty weird that they have yet to put IFF in....made for a bad surprise in a quick mission I did lol.
From what I understand "Fox 2" and so on are names of different types of missiles. What I'm wondering though is why it's important to mention it? Is it so that you don't accidentally do something and get the missile on your teammate or something? (like heatseeking missiles)
Bjørnar Magnussen because IR missiles are very different from radar missiles not only do they require different countermeasures to be used but they have different ranges and speed
Could argue that those manpads shouldn't have missed. There is an IR problem with F/A-18Cs at the moment where even the Su-27's IRST cannot pick it up despite rear aspect afterburning and mk1 eye ball tally, you have to be very close < 5km to track. Will get fixed tho.
2 questions. Were you deploying Mk82 Snake eyes? If yes, does CCIP automatically calculate for the increased drag, or do you have play with the stores page?
Raf ..explain how to fly with wingman and communicate with them ...is it through DCS ? I’m looking for some assistance getting going with DCS...it’s intimidating
nice mission, pretty cool; though i have to ask: why don't you activate your tacan for your carrier landings, or ask for clearance to land on the carrier as it gives you the ball?
I wonder if it bothers navy flyers as much as I think it would that we're still using angled decks. I mean, I get why to some extent, so it's not a question of logic, just gotta be fucking annoying I bet. Also, I'm pretty convinced Hellreign82 is actually Scat in disguise. You've been made, Scat!
3:46 damn that was tense
I swear it was tracking my flight lead... until it wasn't.
drewski for all "scientific" purposes please get the f14 for dcs, i dare you not to get a semi when you hear the mighty cat.
That first half was some Star Wars shit, breddy gud.
Ralfi I think you’re the first person to ever complain about the Hornet being too fast
Joe Phish Nope, Myself and the wingy agree... It's too energy efficient! :D Love it for it.
All that means is that you can save some gas by pulling the throttles back further than you normally would in a tight turn fight :)
i dont mind her pace but she definately doesnt like being slow
@@aus_geoff8668 that's interesting because I've heard real pilots say that it's very sluggish, especially with ordnance
I mean what isn't?
Cheers Ralfi, glad to see you uploading again!
Does anyone else watch DCS videos and turn their head to look around from force of habbit?
Dammit! Yes!
I thought it was just me lol
me too.. glad to see I am not alone
its even worse when you're still trying to save up n get the flight gear!! uggh!
Oh yeah. Doesn't even have to be DCS. I do it for any POV flight video
Pull the paddle, it removes the 7.5 G-Limit and would have helped with the overspeed chasing that MiG.
The lag pursuit was beautiful though!
I could watch you guys play DCS all day!!! You 2 are awesome!
He has streams, you should go take a look
Hell yes!!!! My two favorite DCS jocks, Ralfi and Hellreign in a vid together!! I love it!!
Superior flying and management of your aircraft. Very impressive flying through the city. Your #2 appeared to not have much altitude when avoiding SAM launch, guess I was wrong. Definitely enjoyed your flight recovery on the carrier.
Dude these vids are so satisfying to watch. Never played DCS tho, looks intimidating :D
fairTX they are tons of fun to play once you learn everything. Its a bit daunting at first, but the network is leagues better than tarkov... if you ever take it up and want a mentor just hit me up.
The nice thing is, you can work and learn at your own pace, and above all, it IS fun!
Ralfi I need more! Your flying is so much more enjoyable to watch than my own flying.
This was beautiful. Something to showcast to people who haven't dared trying DCS yet. Thank you very much for all your content Ralfi!
That was absolutely fantastic. That approach through the city was incredible. Dodging that first SAM was super cool, such a great job staying together and comms.
Again again!!
Beautiful flying mate! Myself and a wingy are practicing, trying to get to that level. The breaking against fire and formation flying was especially amazing, bloody great SA!
Nice to see my both favourite pilots flyin' together
that landing was the icing on the cake too perfect
Beautiful colors, beautiful mission, beautiful flying! Congrats for both of you.
When will see another good flight with Linebacker?
never, he's gone
ralfidude wat..... what happened?
Did you guys have a falling out? Or something worse?
i think he joined the airforce
ralfidude oh. But he was hilarious. You guys seemed to get along pretty well.
This was so enjoyable to watch. Clean. Well done
I wish I had the alpha of a hornet
Living to fight slow when others scorn it
When I can still pitch and roll
That other guy's going out of control
I wish I had the alpha of a hornet
cus we're single seat and multirole, we can fly right up our own asshole; yeah all you fuckers wish you flew the Viper
You know, thinking about that song and its verses:
-30mm gun
-Lots of BVR missiles
-Lot of fuel
-Great alpha
...Flanker?
Well, aside from the fact that the Hornet carries the typical 20mm Vulcan, I wouldn't call what the Hornet carries "lots of fuel". xD
The Flanker has roughly double the internal fuel capacity and more than double the effective range/mission radius of the Hornet. Even with 3 fuel tanks, the Flanker still carries more than half a ton(metric) more fuel *internally.* ;)

Were those submarines to the left of the Carrier?
Speed boats :)
AWESOME video. Man this one had everything in it. Got some work to do on your carrier landings though! But hey, I'm right there with you.
Easily the most panic-inducing run in to a target I've ever seen.
Damn it Ralfi!!! You just got back and only a 13 min video?? All in good fun. Good to have you back.
Awesome! Man, this map is BEAUTIFUL! Holy Moly! =D
4:33
Dude, my heart skipped when you looked back when dodging all the buildings!
That's some good skillz
Nicely done fellas. Glad to see you made it back for tea & medals :-)
two of the best pilots in DCS world
I love your content Ralfi, can't wait to learn the '18 myself and see you in the sky!
Beautiful flying, boys!
Nice to see you using the plane to what degree you can so far with it being Alpha. I found it pretty weird that they have yet to put IFF in....made for a bad surprise in a quick mission I did lol.
You guys are good, really good. You form a great combat team.
One of your best vids man!
As i said to Hellreign on his channel : 2 aces @ the same mission. Good work Ralfi 👍👍
I half expected the landing minigame from the NES Top Gun to show up at the end.
ralfi your outros are genius
Chaff/Flare only works with Master Arm on, just FYI in case you didn't know
Yeah we figured that out later.
From what I understand "Fox 2" and so on are names of different types of missiles. What I'm wondering though is why it's important to mention it? Is it so that you don't accidentally do something and get the missile on your teammate or something? (like heatseeking missiles)
Bjørnar Magnussen because IR missiles are very different from radar missiles not only do they require different countermeasures to be used but they have different ranges and speed
But why does pilot A need to tell pilot B that? Doesn't hurt I guess, I just wondered if there was a reason I couldn't think of.
Could argue that those manpads shouldn't have missed. There is an IR problem with F/A-18Cs at the moment where even the Su-27's IRST cannot pick it up despite rear aspect afterburning and mk1 eye ball tally, you have to be very close < 5km to track. Will get fixed tho.
Sick video guys, great coordination. Now I wish I was as good as you two
Yo ralfi, you and line gonna do some sorties together soon? I miss those videos
That AAA fire on the deck made me pucker up a bit.....
I fucking flinched when that missile banked into you at 3:50
Is Hellreign82 actually Scat from some of the older videos? Or am I just confused?
Ditto'ing that voice recognition. Sounds like Scat. Looks like his formation flying has improved some, if so.
I was just thinking the same thing. Sounds just like him.
while he does sound a ton like sgat i think sgat had a deeper voice looking back at older vids
That's racist. Not all British people sound the same.
As a Scotsman, I wholeheartedly agree
Is it me or do the missile just look fucking amazing in this new update they seem so much more pretty when they are tracking scary but pretty
Does anyone know what he he uses to look around in the cockpit? (TrackIR, Headtracking Software, ect.)
track IR 5
Thanks!
VMF 232!! Used to be VMSB 232 and my grandfather served with them in WWII!
At 4:42 mins into the video, I am already clicking on the "like" button :)
Could you do a video showing your setup and where you place your HOTAS and keyboard etc.?
Combatsmithen well i got a new hotas system so ill be showing a lot soon
Cool
Gotta love the NAVY and their CAG birds. About the only color remaining in US military.
2 questions. Were you deploying Mk82 Snake eyes? If yes, does CCIP automatically calculate for the increased drag, or do you have play with the stores page?
Clayton Binder Those would have been retarded, yes. As long as they’re recognized in your stores CCIP will adjust
Hellreign82 sounds like a younger Scatman
Where can I hook up with you? Would love to fly with you guys.
That carrier landing. ❤️
I always thought planes hit full throttle after touchdown in case the hook doesn't catch, so they can lift back up immediately.
which I did
ralfidude didn't notice 😢
THIS. IS. AWESOME!!! ♥
During the trap, I thought, "Maybe this will be the one thing that Ralfi isn't good at."
Then later, "Nope."
ralfidude, I would love to know what/where your intro sound effects are from.

Ghost in the shell TV show OST
So close to the water on that dive
That was some high quality shit right there. Love it
Good kill on the second MiG there! Little low on the final though. Lost the ball there....
Yes , very nice landing!
Beautiful!
I'm surprised DCS used the old C model as apposed to the more developed super bug.
declassified information
Are you using the TM WARTHOG HOTAS or a different hotas?
tm
Awesome. Thank you.
Clean friggin execution goddamn
Great mission guys!
Does the hornet not have the ILS yet?
4:18 Now *this* is podracing!
Thank you, super vidéo
fqin best video i ever seen in 10 years
My boy
Flawless
ty Ralfie for the video! takecare!
Raf ..explain how to fly with wingman and communicate with them ...is it through DCS ?
I’m looking for some assistance getting going with DCS...it’s intimidating
Nice 🔥🔥🔥
This mission looks fun. Can you share it or is it built in?
Here it is, had to tweak it a little to make it work in Beta, but should be ok

Hey Ralfi; any chance that you would be willing to open up a RD public discord server?
Ehh, not really. I'm much too busy for that
You watch ball on landing or you just working on speed and that is all?
Mighty fine video you have here
Is this a server? What server is this?
finally you upload again ralfi i missed you
Great piloting.
JESUS I could’ve sworn that side shot in the first 10 seconds was an actual photo...
DCS 2.5 is beautiful.
What system do you use for VR?
I don't VR
ralfidude Sorry, I meant for headtracking or whatever you want to call it.
track ir 5
Well done!
Nice recoveries guys, but was that a two wire or a three wire?
That was a "we landed" wire and that's all we were concerned with.
ralfidude any landing you can walk away from. Or that the air boss doesn’t break your legs for.
Awesome mission!!
I take it Hell is the one with red tails and marines?? Love the skin.
Amazing (As always)
Are you using TrackIR?
Jon Gurgul da
nice mission, pretty cool; though i have to ask: why don't you activate your tacan for your carrier landings, or ask for clearance to land on the carrier as it gives you the ball?
got it. i just thought that it makes life easier, so why not do it, but i get it.
What are countermeasures anyway? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Beautiful carrier landing
you should make your own vfa emblem the lol face pilot one sounds good
I wonder if it bothers navy flyers as much as I think it would that we're still using angled decks. I mean, I get why to some extent, so it's not a question of logic, just gotta be fucking annoying I bet.
Also, I'm pretty convinced Hellreign82 is actually Scat in disguise. You've been made, Scat!
Why does DCS 2.5 have so much bloatware? It runs like shit compared to 2.0
Raffi great Sim action! 👍 Are using a Wathog or Vkb Mogose. The Vkb looks like great product?
