An interesting Video Topic would be the actual Effectiveness of HARMs in DCS. I myself have been having issues with me actually using the weapon correctly, but still having it loose Track, eventhough I succesfully attract the Radars attention in the whole process. My experience so far with trials in SP are a almost 50% fail-rate of HARM's. And the SA-11 Launchers never seem to die with the first HARM (even if it hits). But maybe its just me not actually nowing HOW to behave to succesfully employ the missile. Would also be interesting to have a Vid which describes how to best attack, attract, and kill various, specific Radar Types. ;) But anyways, great content, thanks a million and keep it up!
HAS - the default mode - doesn't give you any range information so you have to make sure you are high enough, fast enough, and close enough to the emitter you're targeting for the HARM to have a chance to glide to the target and hit it. Also, HARMs can be shot down by certain launchers including SA-15 and SA-10, so it may be worth firing two at the more modern emitters.
Do you know why Right search is visualized on the Left side of the MFD and Left search on the Right side? Also why are the designations in the green vice versa to what is seen on the MFD? Thank you
What if you take part in a mission and the SAM site types are unknown to you? Do you have to just load in the tables to cover all and every eventuality? I have to admit my success rate on harm launches is in a very low percent, they always seem to get shot down before reaching their target :(
doing popup attacks seem to help alot get really close to them without being shot at preferably and then 25 degree climb with an agm-88c launch from my experience this seems to help a lot especially with sites that are defended by stuff like tor sam sites that can shoot down missiles
Hey, I got a problem with the HARM mode and hope you can help me: I have activate Air-Ground, selcted the Rocket. Go to Weapon and see the table and so... BUT: My Timer has an amount of 0:49 in Wide and just count down to 0:45. After this, it start again at 0:49 and it count one "scandone" up. Do you have an idea?
@@ryanw5584 I checked it. Simply reason: There is no radar signature. Or maybe non you choose in the table. If one target appears, which match the search table, the timer continues.
@@SMGGabriel ok cool I was doing a fast mission with only SA-13 and it must not have been scanning bc it would never pop up on radar until I was right on top of it. So maybe I was using wrong type of Sam to train with
@@arguywindham1101 Oh I'm sure, I'm just not fully aware of all the capabilities of the HARM system on the F16 so I was just wondering if anyone knew. Couldn't find anything on google and the BMS videos I've found so far only talk about the HAS mode.
@@grimreapers Thanks a lot for the quick response. Love your channel, has taught me amazing things, not only how to operate the F16C but also a lot of history and events. Keep up the awesome work!
this is a rlly great and thorough video but mine just repeats itself every three seconds when it says 90 and doesnt scan enough. Anyone know how to solve this?
Well, this explains why most wild weasel missions are done by dual manned aircraft. Imagine the workload in a combat situation doing this all by yourself!
Sometimes after watching these videos and trying it out in the Game I think to my self. If I only spent so much time doing my certifiactes at my job to get a better salary :)
Doesent this seem a bit limited the way to employ the agm88 seems more intuitive in the hornet but that being said it is still early in the f16s development
So if you want to piss off the super realism guys that have been crying all over the forum for days, load up 2 HARM's on stations 4 and 6, and 6 Mavericks on stations 3 and 7 and go to town 🤣
You can’t put either of those on 4 and 6, only on 3 and 7. There are multiple reasons why the inner most pylons can’t carry missiles. 1st the pylons are not wired for these weapons. And 2nd the exhaust from the missiles would damage the tail wings. The tips of the stabs already get scorched by Mavericks on 3 and 7 when launching from the inboard rail of a triple rack and that was when they still used triple mavs in the F-16A which had shorter stabs than the later models
Danny D no you can’t stations 4 and 6 on the F-16C don’t even have the option to carry air to ground missiles. Only 3 and 7 do and it’s 1 AGM-88C per pylon. I’m looking at the load out screen as I type this
@@Knightfang1 Yeah...turns out they are actually giving us the BRU-55 Rack as seen here: media.discordapp.net/attachments/206024489518104576/758396087815372841/f16wildweaselfl1_zpsab4de99a.png on a F-16
Mate, you have covered probably any single topic available in DCS. Thank you so much for all your input!
Pleasure
I've noticed a very nice uptick in the quality in your videos. Keep it up
Things getting more complex and more complex with these updates.I'll be downed twice,till i do all this preparations and scans.
Cool, been waiting for one for 88s .. Well done Reapers :-)

Tanks for the help AGAIN. I use to fly My Harryer now i will Go on with my F16
Wow, I was expecting this to be something like the AGM-122. I clearly is a different beast
Bro I have seen a lot of your f16 tutorials and not 1 has failed me it took me a few tries for this i truest appreciate you man.
Maaaan! Thank you... I'm going through training now. Been a slow process....Better late than never. Lol

I tested it with the mavs and i love those weapons
I was playing on GS server last night where the F16s are on red team and I couldn't lock blue sams. Is there any way to lock NATO sams?
Oh, I've never even though about it, will pass on up the chain.
I've been having this same problem. Did you find a solution?

you should start putting those mission files - love your content and sharing is caring
Thanks again for these instructional videos.
Thanks Cap! Great video.
i think, that in ctr is between +5 and -25 vertically and -15 to +15 horizontally from the missile boresight
I like these videos. But, unless one is an expert, these are way deep in the weeds? Are there version of these that are targeted for beginners????

Anyone know if the F16 has a self protect mode for the HARMs like the Hornet?
IRL or DCS? Not yet in DCS at least.
@@skatterpro I was wondering about IRL, hoping we do get it at some point.
@@daddyspartanvr if its in the F16 I imagine ED is already working on it they just wanted to appease people with this.

Hey Cap, can you add these new F-16C videos to the F-16C playlist please? Thanks a lot!
Should all be in there now: ruclips.net/p/PL3kOAM2N1YJf8pIMCKRmRnP2RWkrWkSyZ

why wpn is off in my fi16? i have pod
*MAGNUM*
Hi Cap, do you need any TGP?
neg
@@grimreapers ohh thanks for the help

Nothing out of the ordinary if you are used to the a10c
The F-16 is used as a Wild Weasel aircraft, it has been for a while now.
The Harrier is much easier for this task.
Wild Weasels ftw... magnum fellas

F16 is missing the harm targeting pod
Can you program a two weapon release on a single target with the harm?
Not that I know of.
When does it come to stable?
unsure
Do you need a specfic POD for HAS?
No
You dont need POD for C? What About D K H and G?
@@WZC1000 The HARM pod will be added later in DCS for the F-16C, this will add a lot of functionality for AGM-88 HARM, but HAS does not need the pod.
Can you do a nuke bombing contest video
lol ok
What? Oh struts...I’m sticking to ww2 aircraft lol

@@Knightfang1 it's not implemented yet. Next patch. Go read the F16 forum on ED.
@@Knightfang1 Yeah...turns out they are actually giving us the BRU-55 Rack as seen here: media.discordapp.net/attachments/206024489518104576/758396087815372841/f16wildweaselfl1_zpsab4de99a.png on a F-16
Came here because I didn't make it works in the training mission...
Now I can destroy some SAM for the glory of my squadron!!!
i like the f18 HARM system more, it's way easier
Nice vid cap
Another reason the F-18 is better.
Question; is this simpler in the 18? Also, can you target NATO Sams with it?
