@@theginger7148 Nobody bats an eye when an A-10 teamkills in real life. But when I have a minor oopsie in game (strafing the hoggit taxiway and killing 3 friendly aircraft), pops won't forgive me
I did the wide screen because I felt a wee bit artistic today. In the first clip take off we knew we were taking off with a tail wind, thanks for noticing. End credits that I usually have didn't work due to an unsupported video ratio, but I was too lazy to re-render everything without it, so enjoy the tunes I guess...

Yea, ultrawide is awesome for DCS. Not quite as immersive as VR but with that being said, I still perfer my ultrawide to my VR. Mainly due to the Oculus CV1's resolution (1080×1200 per eye aka 2160x1200) being litteraly worse than my monitors (3440x1440).
Man I’m hearing myself from like 9 minutes onward. Sorry for blowing up the mic so much. I was lazing for SU25 JTFrost. We had SRS problemS so we couldn’t MIDS so I was on common coms just giving him info. Also my buddy in the F16 saw y’all land and said “We’ll I’m definitely gonna be in the video for the wrong reasons” Good stuff though, and the takeoff from Gaudata had me thinking there was about to be some A2A collision there (Edit: Spelling)
Yo, this video and your most recent one in the Viggen are masterpieces. You've always had great editing and presentation but you've been surpassing yourself lately.
Excellent video Ralfi and also thank you so much for adding the song list, my Spotify also says thank you too! You have an excellent talent for mixing music with madness.
I'm also kind of amazed how you manage to get anything done on GAW as a ground attacker. The last half dozen times I've gone on trying to get anything done I just get intercepted by enemy aircraft, even when there's literally a dozen pilots up performing CAP and most of them are being talked on by the GCI. Dunno if it's the times of day I'm on but it's a bloody circus show. It's what I expect to see on 4ya but at least there the dot labels are colour coded so I can tell who's a hostile aircraft *before* they're launching heaters at me.
If you're an a-10 you have 4 aim 9s to play with. You can very easily defend yourself even against flankers. But we also chose to strike things that were within our line of defense. So we knew how far CAP stretched out in front of us and we decided on targets that would allow us to run for cover if we needed it or ask for nearby help should we need it. If you stretch out too far from blue lines then you will pay the price for it down the line.
@@ralfidude the latest debacle was thirty miles from Anapa with a string of CAP 150 miles out somehow missing everything. I had heaters but that close to Anapa the sky's thick with planes like flies and with no datalink or radar for iff interrogation there's no way to tell which dots are trying to kill you. At least with my screen if they're close enough you can tell between a hornet and an F-5 they've already shot you with a missile.
Might have to have another go at GAW at some point. The A-10's HMD functionality makes it really good for that kind of air to ground. Although I could probably do the same thing with the harrier as long as the weather isn't horrendous and I stand off a bit more I guess.
Man.... Ralfi has been at this for YEEEAAAAARS. And Drewski is legit just a freak of nature. Keep goin' though! We will all get there... eventually? :D :D
Better late than never, I guess! 😋 I recall watching it on Drewski's channel some time ago, but still like the other perspective. And that intro instantly reminded me of the Adventure of Bill & John. 😁👍🏻
Im on "vacation" away from my monster rig... all i want to do no is get back home and fly with my bestest wingbutty... meanie you teasing me with A10 action when i cant even on my laptop... good flying though ;) A10 such love
Ralfi, still following your A-10C tutorials and may meet you out there in Multi-player Land. Question: which HOTAS do you use? My birthday's coming up and I'm thinking of the TM Warthog. Then someone said, "Virpil? Winwing?" Oh dear... Interested to hear what you use, please.
Hey Ralf. Just making a suggestion. You should make a discord server or an Instagram. Love your content keep it up. You inspire me more and more to fly every time you post. 👍🏼
Some vehicles, like the Ural-375, are flagged as logistic vehicles. They will rearm any other ground unit in a fixed radius, indicated by a brown circle in ME (~50m IIRC), even if they are not part of the same group. AFAIK a truck can not run out of supplies and will keep rearming forever. Reload time depends on the vehicle receiving the supplies. So, if there is a truck nearby, expect reloads every few minutes.
@@fonesrphunny7242 hmmm... So in a Liberation mission if there's a group of two Strelas, a Ural, and a UAZ, they'll be able to keep the missiles coming (ignoring rearm delays for the moment) but if I kill the Ural they'll be helpless once they run dry?
What would be nice, is for us noobs to know what is required to hop into GAW and PGAW servers without making fools of ourselves. I don't mean how to 'use' the A10 but stuff you should setup to make sure you're not being an arse (comms, etc.) Nice vid, as always.
Can we just appreciate the GCI calling sunrise and the music being perfect together at 1:38
Something I've found out when I flew in DCS : The more realistic a flight sim is, the more hillarious shenanigan you can pull.

I took a snoop at your loadouts on F2 when I noticed you two online that evening. I wondered how you took out that factory without any big bombs.
Drewski: There's that guy with the MANPAD.
1 second later Drewski: I gonna turn him into mansoup.
10:46 Fire Mission: EXPEND ALL AMMUNITION!
Yes, was awesome. Tear out the page in the manual that says to use quick 1-3 second bursts with the GAU. LOL
Watching you and Drewski is a vibe
Got hit with recommendations of this and wooooowww, makes me want to play this game. You guys did a fantastic job and this is all incredible.

Reminds me so much of the XCOM Ufo Defense soundtrack. Love it.

I have an ultrawide display, so was surprised and quite pleased by the experience. Need more ultrawide content.
Flaps coming, oh that's the gear close enough.
Yeah sure drewski would love to see you land with flaps only 😂
He'll be able to land alright, he just won't be taxiing to the ramp or doing a touch and go afterwards ;).

Always inspired to pick up the A-10 after seeing the two of you flying it. Great sorties!
In Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, the Russians referred to the A-10 as the "Devil's Cross" every time it would come by to hose down their armor.

Nothing like a surprise SA-10 site to liven up your day. Do AI SAMs rearm eventually or are they just screwed when they run out of missiles?
depends on server I believe.
Yep. If a logistics vehicle is nearby, it'll rearm. SAW is configured this way.
Some vehicles, like the Ural-375, are flagged as logistic vehicles. They will rearm any other ground unit in a fixed radius, indicated by a brown circle in ME (~50m IIRC), even if they are not part of the same group.
