Really dope video. I got into DCS recently and have been spamming the GS server. You got me using the J-11 and I don't regret it. I might need to buy a cold war jet now too lol. Keep up the awesome vids.
It’s absurd to me how far DCS graphics have come. Even with their what some would call “outdated” engine compared to some of the stuff that’s come out in the past months. I find myself questioning real shots as if they came from DCS. Stunning. Impressive. Jaw dropping really
Well the only thing that need to look good is the plane and the clouds everything else can look like shit and add a lighting engine. Where as fps everything has to look good the boxes to the guns to the floor.
Wonder how much DCS footage has been used by dumbass media organizations lol. I mean if ARMA 2 and 3 were somehow enough to fool them I'm sure this would.
Great video! Small tips for flying the MiG, I notice that you leave the undercarriage lever at 'up' position throughout the third sortie. As the undercarriage, brakes and flaps onboard the MiG-21 use pneumatic (compressed air) as power, leaving the undercarriage lever at 'up' position for a prolonged period will risk draining the pneumatic air pressure, which will eventually lead to failure of undercarriage, flaps and brakes. Same will happen if you use brakes too frequently on the ground. I would suggest to form a good habit of returning the lever to neutral after the undercarriage is up. Also the MiG likes a shallow glide slope landing instead of a steep one, so you may want to try next time landing with only half of the length of the runway in sight with a lower approach attitude. This will make your life in landing easier! Hope you enjoy flying the Fishbed, it's a lovely aircraft! 😉
The Mig-21 is one of those aircraft that doesn't hold your hand. My tips are to never land above 1,000 liter of fuel, and never exceed 10 degrees AOA when landing. Also, if you load with 2 (or 3) fuel tanks, and climb above 10,000 meters, drop the tanks then reach for mach 1.6, the aircraft will turn into a rocket and it'll dash to mach 2.2 in a climb, and reach all the way to 20,000 meters.. I think this is realistic because former F-102 and F-104 pilots said they would dash at incredible speeds and altitudes, mach 2 at 80,000ft, and they would attack from above at these incredible speeds, and dash away. In DCS with the Mig-21 you can only do one dash before you're out of fuel, but it's still good fun, it's not often you get to see the sky turn black in broad daylight :D
The gear and flaps are hydraulic, they'll be fine. What will actually fail is the main pneumatic circuit: the main wheel brakes (emergency ones have about half the braking force), brake chute deployment, and technically I think the radar coolant system is supposed to but I don't remember if it actually does.
@@rossmum Thanks for correcting! The radar uses regular alcohol as coolant and it evaporates very quickly, so max 40-50min for radar on standby and max 20min in active mode. Russians choose alcohol as it is not toxic and can be easily supplied to frontline airstrips (aka Vodka)
I was literally watching the heli in the intro and thinking the same thing. Like even trying to figure out how to merge DCS "buy a plane as DLC" platform in. Like you buy a plane you can fly it in Squad but if you don't you just have to play Squad basically. That'll keep a lot of morons out of the planes I think.
I was thinking that I have no interest in buying a full cockpit and learning to fly, but if they introduced ground combat I'd probably go as far and buying a whole new gaming rig to take part. This is the air component of a full war simulator completely perfected.
I’ve been trying to get into the Cold War era in DCS, figuring out if I should learn the mig19 or mig21. Now because of this video, especially today I chose for the fishbed. Thanks drewski
@@deanmilos4909 i managed to learn all of the flight systems in the fishbed in around 2-3 hours compared to the 19 which took a bit longer. The mig 21 is better in basically every way
ive been following you for a long time now, and i must say: if you edit these videos yourself BIG thank you. Your attention to detail is insane. the way the "2nd flight" logo blends into the environment just (as an example) just adds to the whole esthaetic of your videos. also the whole montage at the start of the video is just hollywood level. i acknowledge the amount of work put into this as somebody who has edited videos before and as somebody whos flown in DCS before. Your work does not go unnoticed. same applies if somebody is editing your videos.
Enigma's server is truly a special thing in DCS. I mean, from the videos convincing how Cold War era is the future of DCS to how AMAZING the campaign works in the server. Truly special and one of a kind.
When the human GCI gets on it’s a heart pounding experience, and you really gotta work for those kills, dialing the radar, scanning the horizon for that glint of sun off metal, calling bogey dope and hearing there’s 2 migs at you 9 o clock at 10 miles. Gets the blood moving.
And this is why I love Cold War era warfare and combat. These dogfights were intense and the scenes with the bombers were beautiful. Really look forward to more videos like this. Great stuff Drewski! Maybe you could try out the Su-25A some time too.
Don't be shy with the burner, you need it during most turns just to balance out the induced drag off the delta. The faster you are, the lower your AoA, the less of an airbrake your wing is: you can rip around at 1100km/h IAS and if anyone threatens you, just slam the throttle all the way forwards and start snaking and rolling to bleed out their missiles. The 21bis has a special afterburner mode which turns it from an already fast plane to an absolute bottle rocket at any altitude below 4000m barometric, if you use it during level flight you'll rapidly overspeed and kill the engine, but it's an absolute godsend in combat. In turns it gives you a noticeable boost and brings your sustained turn performance up almost to parity with the F-5 at sea level. It chews through fuel faster, but with a little practice you can get decent overall fuel economy out of the jet - it sips up at high altitude and you want to be as light as possible in a fight anyway. Those cinematic shots were to die for, awesome video.
one of if not the best servers on dcs, and its only gonna get better especially with the crazy amount of cold war aircraft planned for dcs, like the f-4, mig-23, kfir, etc
Rotor heads (for helicopters and PVE) also simulates an ongoing conflict where ground units communicate with eachother, the battlefields frontline moves up or down depending on how the players are pushing back the enemy and the utility helicopters build the farps and they also place most if not all of the ground forces. DCS is incredible and I would recommend biting the bullet to anyone considering it, be it cold war enigmas server or other dynamic multiplayer campaigns, it is amazing and nothing is quite like it.
I have some questions, I bought FA 18, AV8, F14 and BF109. But I'm still learning much, with not that much time, are there resources you can deplete in these servers? Like there are 100 Mig 21s when they are out they cannot be used for certain amount of time? Do you need to bring in the infantry (like with a Huey) on both of the servers because I would love to do those runs (would buy Huey for it I tested it was great for 2 weeks) how does these servers work :D
@@benjaminconrad3674 I have no fixed wing yet in dcs, I own 5 helicopters lol, as for rotorheads yes the hueys place almost everything down, they build the farps, do csar, hot lzs all that goodness, not just the huey but the utility helicopters in general.
@@Madnot4 so it's really much fun doing these things? :D how do you plan those sorties are there marks on map where this are needed (placed by AI) or human driven? How is that accomplished? :D

@@benjaminconrad3674 and well I highly recommend you to go into the discord of whatever server interests you, rotorheads is highly curated for instance and you'd have to take it all in yourself to understand, enigmas is also very carefully taken care of.

@@Enigma89 Just got my buddy into DCS after a few years of trying to get him into it, were 100% coming to the server tonight. Are there videos anywhere on how to use that overlord or GCI bot or whatever? do I need SRS for that?
This is what I enjoyed in the game EF2000. 6 players played together in a simulated WWIII Scandinavian war. One of the 6 players ran the simulation and flew an EU EF2000 super fighter. I wish someone would modernize that old game.
Loved it, but it was quite buggy. I remember Brimstones always passing through enemy tanks. And you could basicaly break the game by destroying the entire invasion fleet with guns and then fly boring patrols for the resst of the game, except for scripted missions :D
I've had some of the most fun in the MIG 21 in DCS over my whole time in DCS. It's awesome being the underdog and managing to have just enough ability to keep up with F15s/M2Ks/FA18s etc.
I was gonna skip the intro, I cannot lie. I went right for the bar to scrub forward, but I quickly hesitated. I sat through the entire intro, slightly because I wanted to, but mostly because it's called "Sicc intro". Well done Drewksi, well done.
Man the way the quality of your videos have changed is amazing. You are doing an amazing job. It is very well edited, never at any point dull. And the cinematics, cuts and music integration is top notch.
Drew you are by far the best dcs RUclipsr in my opinion. The editing is great and your just a great personality. I love Cold War and the mig 21. Thank you
I was born in 1974 so i remember the cold war very well here in the UK we had alerts and news of Russian bombers over UK air space but was always pushed away by UK fighters such as Harrier's and Tornado's etc.
Cold war in DCS is fantastic, it has the most interesting and soulfull tech and produces some of the best fights (as long as you don't get ambushed with a fox 2).
I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago. Now I have about 20 hours in a MiG 19. Today I feel confident enough that I'm going to jump into this server and see what happens. Thanks for introducing me to DCS.
Fun fact about the mig 21, its takeoff flaps automatically retract at high speeds, whether or not its implemented in dcs I dont know but it probably is
I should have worn my white shorts for this video...now i gotta change them again 😅😂🤣 Awesome video as always Drewski! Love these war things, its really awesome how you can just jump in on a ongoing war!
You were talking about when you went from 9k to 50k followers... I found you when you hit 100k or so... It's such a slap of real life when you understand that everyone goes through life and when we look at RUclips we always forget that. Love your DCS content as an IRL pilot and thoroughly enjoy your work. Bring them on!
Drewski I really love how you edit these videos. Your choice of cinematic shots, music, the little touches of the clouds obscuring the text or the comms only coming through when it's your POV. It's just really well done and I wanted to give you props.
There needs to be a DCS and ARMA cross over. Idk if it already a thing but this Cold War server would be 10x better with playable infantry and vehicles
There was a good server for Arma II where the human players were Russian tech, and the opponent was AI using US tech. The AI was rather difficult. It would revolve around having to capture a village they were holding, defeat them, and move onto the next village. The whole series of villages could take hours or a couple days to complete.
Didn't know you were interested in becoming a helo pilot. I'm in training for my private license now and want to get into being an EMS pilot one day in the future.
@@blackhawkuh-6026 If any of them know helo pilots, I would ask them about it. Having as many connections as possible is one of the best things you can do it seems. I kinda got lucky because my instructor is a family friend and we managed to arrange lessons after he took me on a flight. You also need to be prepared to spend quite a bit, especially with prices for everything rising right now. Get medical stuff out of the way fairly early, if you're young (Under 40), physicals will last for about 5 years. Any DUI or problems that you may have related to substances will make getting a license near impossible, so make sure you have a clean record and keep it clean. I don't have too many hours right now so I don't necessarily have any info that may really help but I would also recommend trying to fly multiple aircraft if at all possible, it's good to build up hours on not only helicopter but fixed wing too. I fly the R22 and R44 along with a pa28 and just allows for more training overall since you may not fly the same aircraft all the time, just depends on what your job you get. You'd definitely get more help from someone who is an instructor, or at least someone with a lot of flight hours since most get their CFI early on (I figure around 200 hours+) and start their career as instructors. You could also look into a school like UVU, I was told that it's one of the best flight schools in America and have thought about going after getting my PPL.
Drewski, everything you've described in the first two minutes about persistent warfare is done masterfully in a game called foxhole, and I highly recommend you check it out.
Thanks for the cool little blurb about how you started your youtube career. Really glad it managed to take off and you're at where you are right now. Keep up the solid work.
Honestly, i'm just impressed! That is freakin amazing! I truly love DCS but i wish i had someone who could teach me at least one aircraft (of teachers choice) to fly "good". Not super or perfect, good would be enough for a start 🤣 i even looked on fivrr for a dcs course😅
I got unsubbed somehow, anyways yet another amazing video Drewski! I absolutely LOVE the cinematics you did and have done before they always add so much to the game(s) and you do super well on them. my favorite little cinematic in the video was at 14:20 - Honestly hoping you do more DCS because this was so cool to watch.
Drewski this is just incredible. Love that you gave Cold War a shot. Much more entertaining to us viewers IMO. The editing and some of the cinematic shots can leave you in awe; 14:52 is the one. This one gave me a whole new perspective on what Cold War could have looked like. It's such a powerful shot. 2 MiG-21's flying in like some great sharks ready to effortlessly kill those bombers, and they could do nothing about it. Even if you dont know what the picture tells you exactly, seeing these 2 contrials approaching fast onto the flock gives you a sense of danger- something is about to go down and it wont be pretty. I would love to have that as a HD screenshot. Cant wait to see more from you. Amazing work, gld to see you are always improving the skill of flying and editing 07
If it is Cold War era, the B52s would have a Gunner on board. (I was a Buff Gunner during the Cold War) With a range of over a mile, the Gunner would have had you on the first pass. :)
@@snow1-2pinkkush46 Fighters had a healthy respect for the gun on the back. Whether the 4x .50 or the 20mm Vulcan, both were lethal in that cone behind the acft out to a mile or so. It would be nice if the developers could add that for missions prior to the end of Desert Storm. It was soon after that the position was removed.
Secondary reheat and takeoff flaps are a must for low altitude fighting with the Migger. Flaps will also "automatically" (In the most liberal sense of the word, they are spring loaded.) retract inboard over a certain speed, so it doesn't require constant management. Looked like R-13 under your wings, probably because of road base spawn, but those are trash. Also, R-3R's are criminally under rated and offer you some option for head on engagements, where you always have the range advantage to shoot first.
@@snow1-2pinkkush46 I believe the P5 has very limited front aspect capability. Which for a radar guided missile is irrelevant if lock is kept, I always shoot first in head on's with F-5's when i fly my Mig.
@@_1389_ i tell you on dcs that p5 is op i play on the server all the time with both the mig and f5 that p5 will it you before the r3r and the r3r will lose track as soon as you die

I have to give real props and respect to any parent their kids the room to find their own way in life. OperatorDadski is the mannnnn.
10k-50k in 3 months, now look at you, almost 1.6M!!! Glad I found your channel a few weeks ago, love the content man!
I've had some of the most fun in the MIG 21 in DCS over my whole time in DCS. It's awesome being the underdog and managing to have just enough ability to keep up with F15s/M2Ks/FA18s etc.
Love to see the Mig-21 in action
Winter part looks like a goddamn movie.
And GSh-23 is a beast of a gun, one round in the right place could be all you need.
Actually crazy that in those times no matter where you went you’d always fear a nuclear weapon hitting you
Well the fear isn't gone now, is it?
Just like today!
@@joosepkaha1687 Good point!
nothing much has changed since then. i feel we are even closer now then we before, back in 1983
I was gonna skip the intro, I cannot lie. I went right for the bar to scrub forward, but I quickly hesitated. I sat through the entire intro, slightly because I wanted to, but mostly because it's called "Sicc intro". Well done Drewksi, well done.
I forgot to mention that it was a really good intro. Well done all around sir.
Drewski in the MiG-21? Talk about a dream come true!
3:12 every new module experience, colorized, 2022
I am so impressed with this highlight of Enigma’s server. Plus, I didn’t realize I’d been following you so long!
Enjoyed, thanks for sharing your fun on Enigma.
Man the way the quality of your videos have changed is amazing. You are doing an amazing job. It is very well edited, never at any point dull. And the cinematics, cuts and music integration is top notch.
intro song is > Swif7 - never go back
Drew you are by far the best dcs RUclipsr in my opinion. The editing is great and your just a great personality. I love Cold War and the mig 21. Thank you
All of your DCS vids are awesome, but this one in particular was just the best
We need more editing like that sicc intro
Every time you had tone I was waiting for Jerk it Out to start playing
I was born in 1974 so i remember the cold war very well here in the UK we had alerts and news of Russian bombers over UK air space but was always pushed away by UK fighters such as Harrier's and Tornado's etc.
I remember when you hit 100k! I remember the livestream, love the DCS vids
Cold war in DCS is fantastic, it has the most interesting and soulfull tech and produces some of the best fights (as long as you don't get ambushed with a fox 2).
Wow! I was just watching one of Enigma's MiG-21 sorties yesterday. Awesome to get a fresh video with the plane
I believe I was in that same furball at 22:00 onwards over the water as a Mig-21. That was insane, there were around 6 bandits.
I hope you do more Cold War content, that is my favorite era for aviation, this is definitely my favorite video by you
FINALLY Drewski got into the cold war planes
I'd love to play that DCS Cold War - as a SAM battery. Top video, OD.
Sometimes I think about the massive battles taking place 24/7 365 in all the different combat games
I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago. Now I have about 20 hours in a MiG 19. Today I feel confident enough that I'm going to jump into this server and see what happens. Thanks for introducing me to DCS.
damn, War Thunder needs a game mode like this
It sorta does but not really.
@@knowlegeableknight yeh it does, imagine a 24/7 war with planes, tanks helis and naval in some maps too
Yeah, we need a true mixed battle experience with helis, tanks, naval, aircraft, it would make the game actually fun
@@fujiwararowan nah bro it's warthunder
@@lonelee5353 Youre rigjt
It’s like foxhole. While I sleep peacefully in my bed I know brave men of Callahan are keeping the collie baby eaters at bay!
Fun fact about the mig 21, its takeoff flaps automatically retract at high speeds, whether or not its implemented in dcs I dont know but it probably is
This video is editing perfection, I aspire to get here.
I should have worn my white shorts for this video...now i gotta change them again 😅😂🤣 Awesome video as always Drewski! Love these war things, its really awesome how you can just jump in on a ongoing war!
You were talking about when you went from 9k to 50k followers... I found you when you hit 100k or so... It's such a slap of real life when you understand that everyone goes through life and when we look at RUclips we always forget that. Love your DCS content as an IRL pilot and thoroughly enjoy your work. Bring them on!
3:40 me when someone I don’t know is teaching me something.
''Creating a war you've never heard of''
SIr.. I've heard about the Cold War a time or two.
God I wish you did more dcs drew, always epic asf videos
i bought th mig 21 as my first plane in dcs and i still love being one with the dark side of the mig 21 fanbase
I'd recommend the F-5E next! Also available in this server, and it'd probably be right up your alley!
That's one wise man! Great advice, hope he's going to give it a try.
Drewski I really love how you edit these videos. Your choice of cinematic shots, music, the little touches of the clouds obscuring the text or the comms only coming through when it's your POV. It's just really well done and I wanted to give you props.
There needs to be a DCS and ARMA cross over. Idk if it already a thing but this Cold War server would be 10x better with playable infantry and vehicles
There was a good server for Arma II where the human players were Russian tech, and the opponent was AI using US tech.
The AI was rather difficult.
It would revolve around having to capture a village they were holding, defeat them, and move onto the next village.
The whole series of villages could take hours or a couple days to complete.
Vehicles are drivable in dcs ^^
Beautiful! Thanks for giving ECW visibility, it's by far my most played and appreciated server in DCS
Didn't know you were interested in becoming a helo pilot. I'm in training for my private license now and want to get into being an EMS pilot one day in the future.
Do you got any tips for helicopter training I’m planning on becoming one and I know many pilots but none of them fly helicopters
@@blackhawkuh-6026 If any of them know helo pilots, I would ask them about it. Having as many connections as possible is one of the best things you can do it seems. I kinda got lucky because my instructor is a family friend and we managed to arrange lessons after he took me on a flight. You also need to be prepared to spend quite a bit, especially with prices for everything rising right now. Get medical stuff out of the way fairly early, if you're young (Under 40), physicals will last for about 5 years. Any DUI or problems that you may have related to substances will make getting a license near impossible, so make sure you have a clean record and keep it clean. I don't have too many hours right now so I don't necessarily have any info that may really help but I would also recommend trying to fly multiple aircraft if at all possible, it's good to build up hours on not only helicopter but fixed wing too. I fly the R22 and R44 along with a pa28 and just allows for more training overall since you may not fly the same aircraft all the time, just depends on what your job you get. You'd definitely get more help from someone who is an instructor, or at least someone with a lot of flight hours since most get their CFI early on (I figure around 200 hours+) and start their career as instructors. You could also look into a school like UVU, I was told that it's one of the best flight schools in America and have thought about going after getting my PPL.
Such great flying, very exciting to watch! Thank you for the vid!
finally, I love the mig 21, nice to see you get into it
Damn Drewski. I rarely watch DCS content but the filming and editing of this one was on point!
Drewski, everything you've described in the first two minutes about persistent warfare is done masterfully in a game called foxhole, and I highly recommend you check it out.
Thanks for the cool little blurb about how you started your youtube career. Really glad it managed to take off and you're at where you are right now. Keep up the solid work.
Drewski DCS video is always an insta-click
This has to be one of the best videos you've made, and the most exciting DCS video I've seen on YT. The montage, the drama, the story. Awesome!
Honestly, i'm just impressed! That is freakin amazing! I truly love DCS but i wish i had someone who could teach me at least one aircraft (of teachers choice) to fly "good". Not super or perfect, good would be enough for a start 🤣 i even looked on fivrr for a dcs course😅
check out the wingman finder discord and subreddit great community with more than enough people looking to teach people to fly!
That 3rd flight furball was a real top gun moment lol. So cool
I got unsubbed somehow, anyways yet another amazing video Drewski! I absolutely LOVE the cinematics you did and have done before they always add so much to the game(s) and you do super well on them. my favorite little cinematic in the video was at 14:20 - Honestly hoping you do more DCS because this was so cool to watch.
Drewski this is just incredible. Love that you gave Cold War a shot. Much more entertaining to us viewers IMO. The editing and some of the cinematic shots can leave you in awe; 14:52 is the one. This one gave me a whole new perspective on what Cold War could have looked like. It's such a powerful shot. 2 MiG-21's flying in like some great sharks ready to effortlessly kill those bombers, and they could do nothing about it. Even if you dont know what the picture tells you exactly, seeing these 2 contrials approaching fast onto the flock gives you a sense of danger- something is about to go down and it wont be pretty. I would love to have that as a HD screenshot.
Cant wait to see more from you. Amazing work, gld to see you are always improving the skill of flying and editing 07
uh-huh simulator
Bro. Your intro cut scenes were SOOOO SICK!
More DCS and (more) Airsoft! :)
Great video, got to see a Mig-21 at an airshow a few years ago, tiny little jet but it does have some power!
If it is Cold War era, the B52s would have a Gunner on board. (I was a Buff Gunner during the Cold War) With a range of over a mile, the Gunner would have had you on the first pass. :)
The B-52 AI we have in DCS doesn’t model the tail gunner unfortunately, it’s a shame
@@Colin0221 would be awesome to have some gunner on those bomber would had little spice when intercepting them
@@snow1-2pinkkush46 Fighters had a healthy respect for the gun on the back. Whether the 4x .50 or the 20mm Vulcan, both were lethal in that cone behind the acft out to a mile or so.
It would be nice if the developers could add that for missions prior to the end of Desert Storm. It was soon after that the position was removed.
@@Bsquared1972 did you had radar targeting on that turret ?
Great to see you on the server and enjoying it! Thanks so much for the kind words for the team!
hey man would you be able to post the while MiG 21 tutorial from enigma? I'm sure many people like myself would find it super helpful!
Things I learned in this video:
"Yep"
"OK"
"Uh huh"
"Gotcha"
"Mhmm"
"Yes"
"Interesting"
"Got it"
Secondary reheat and takeoff flaps are a must for low altitude fighting with the Migger. Flaps will also "automatically" (In the most liberal sense of the word, they are spring loaded.) retract inboard over a certain speed, so it doesn't require constant management. Looked like R-13 under your wings, probably because of road base spawn, but those are trash. Also, R-3R's are criminally under rated and offer you some option for head on engagements, where you always have the range advantage to shoot first.
P5 have more range than r3r so head on can be tricky if he got eyes on you
@@snow1-2pinkkush46 I believe the P5 has very limited front aspect capability. Which for a radar guided missile is irrelevant if lock is kept, I always shoot first in head on's with F-5's when i fly my Mig.
@@_1389_ i tell you on dcs that p5 is op i play on the server all the time with both the mig and f5 that p5 will it you before the r3r and the r3r will lose track as soon as you die
Great video! That Mirage pilot was really good. He took out both of you, after you thought you had him because he ran out of energy.
A war that goes on while you sleep is just what Foxhole is
I know i am two years late, but the cutter did a outstanding job with the intro. Creating such a atmosphere without any crazy effects is insane.
AWESOME intro DrewDrew. You really topped yourself with this one.
Nothing gets me as excited as seeing an operatordrewski dcs video!
loved every second
makes me wanna get my own hotas and do this myself
From someone who watches you once a year, everytime I get the milsim urge: Thank you for continuing to provide high quality content! My VR DCS experiment is juicy right now :)
Every once in a while I poke in, and seeing you at almost 1.6M when I was there for 100k still amazes me even though I’m not in the community anymore. Keep going higher Drewski!
I'm so glad to see you enjoying DCS!
I love how cinematic you make these videos, just amazing
