the true was that took off Pucaras and Aermacchis from Puerto Argentino at the same time... but the Macchi had to fly too fast for a very poor weather... almost 0 visibility.. Macchis returned home and the three Pucaras continue to the target. After they attacked british troop, one of them was shotted down, the pilot ejected, and a second couldn´t see the mountains because was flying too low and crashed... Tte. Gimenez lost his life..
@@grimreapers you´re welcome! if I can help you, just ask. I was military Air traffic controller at Río Gallegos, and I live in Ushuaia... so, I think I know how the southern winds feel in the face 🙂🙂
Grump's view was not nearly as dark as Caps was. Not sure if that's the monitor, the settings in DCS or what. Or it's the contrast. Whatever the reason, I could almost pick out the troops on the ground. Anyways, great video. I envy your mission building skills. And your flying. In 3 months of DCS I have just got the basics under my fingertips. You guys not only have to fly dozens of aircraft, but fly them well. Keeping all them separate would be a herculean task. Hell, just bouncing from the Apache to the Huey I get the commands mixed up. Well done to all. Grump is a beast!
Cap, now that you’ve got the F-35’s working (and a reasonable Meteor analog) I’d love to see an RN retaking the Falklands from a theoretical Argentine force. A couple of dozen JF-17’s based at Port Stanley, and some Mirage 2k’s with Exocets operating from Rio Grande, give them a couple of C-130’s to drink from and then let the pigeons loose!
There was a Royal Marines Blowpipe troop somewhere around Goose Green (which shot down the Aermacchi), and I think the Paras had them too. They also brought one Pucara down with combined small arms fire, during the battle.
Loved the video @Grim Reapers! Can't wait for the next video man! Try Fighting Goose Green in the "Falklands 2: Electric Boogaloo" scenario from the Last Video!
Hi, I love your videos, and am always excited about DCS. I don't think I can do it myself, I don't have enough time at work and with my family to get involved. That's why I prefer to follow it here on your RUclips channel.
The A-58 Pucaras is a very good aircraft and it's a good they didn't have A-10 Warthogs as by the time the "Black death" got to the battle it would have been all over. Speaking of the A-10 Warthog. Does anyone know anything about the new update the U.S.A.F is doing to the A-10? I watched a video showing the A-10 being outfitted with more bombs than before. The video is called "The Devastating New A-10 Bomb Truck Configuration" It increases the warthogs' capabilities substantially and I think we need this update to the A-10 platform in DCS.
I was going to say that you don't need to worry too much about the Blowpipes because they were so difficult to use; but it seems that one pucara was indeed taken down by a Blowpipe.
Apparently.....and Im not sure if it was during this contact....two planes passed over a British squaddie, one behind the other, he chugged his GPMG aiming to hit the first and actually kia'd the second.....apparently
Sounds right, GPMG’s we’re used extensively in the light anti aircraft role. Pilots from both sides recall ‘blankets’ of tracer fire coming towards them
Just think if this aircraft used old AIM-9B slaved the a Pucara and launched at landing ships with large heat signatures. This AAM might pack the right amount of HE, speed with ground and sea attack tactics. Slowing down the invasion. Small AAM without armour penetration could hurt these slow moving landing craft and landing ships.
The Pucara is a cool aircraft, gotta say. I think the Brits did have blow pipe missiles there. They certainly had an anti-tank rocket, I forget what it was called, that they improvised with and fired into the Argentinians trenches/bunkers. They proved effective in that role.
If and when the Falklands Campaign comes to an end, I think Cap and the boys should do a montage of some sort remembering the conflict. Do some sort of cinematic ending with their footage mixed with the real footage of missions they did. Play “Brothers in Arms” by Dire Straits over the video. The song was actually written during the conflict. I just think it would be kinda cool, but that’s just my opinion
I was a soldier at the time. I took part in the war. I ended up marrying an Argentinian who lost her brother in the war. Where is the fucking funny bit.
Fantastic video, I always watch your missions and QUESTION: those Pucarás planes come with the South Atlantic map...are they purchased separately or are they free from a third-party developer?...how can I get them? From already thank you very much.🦾🦾☝🏼☝🏼👍🏼👍🏼🧿🧿✈✈🧿🧿
The Pucara is such a cool aircraft... I mean it looks like an old Metroliner aircraft that is armed up to go to war and handles a lot better as well. Closest you get to a wolf in sheeps clothing :D
In the other video, what would happened to the typhoon fighters that are station in the Falkland island? Would be cool to see a defensive fight in the Typhoon against the invading force
Wow I really enjoyed this. Right into the action (once the mission started), the moody weather, prop planes and ground attack with tracers and plumes of smoke. Really good stuff.
With the recent military excercise around Taiwan can I suggest a simulation on if area denial weapons stationed on the island could defend / defeat a Chinese blockading force
Cool mission. Ever thought of doing a modern day “Marianas Turkey Shoot?” You could match tons of Chinese fighters set to lowest skill level against a group of your boys. IRs and guns only.
There was a story going around when i was a kid about the Argentine pilots going after the warships instead of the landing craft during the initial British landings. I was wondering if that was true and if so, could you do a what if they did attack those landing craft instead of the protecting warships. Awesome vids man, I'm hooked.
Yes it is true and the GR pilots did the same recently. They said the same as the Argentine pilots. Running in low and fast the pilots had no time to identify and line up on small moving landing craft. So instead the attacked the obvious easy to see and stationary large ships.
Hmmm, sort of - Argentina did attack some landing craft, such as LCT F4 which they sank, and bombed the two large LSL’s Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram in June at Fitzroy, causing terrible casualties on Galahad as she hadn’t started unloading yet. If by “landing craft” you mean those small barges, well apart from F4 (which was in open water & isolated and they came across her by chance) they didn’t really try because landing barges are a bit poxy. What they needed to hit were the two amphibious assault ships, Fearless & Intrepid which were both pretty big and had internal docks that could be flooded allowing landing craft to sail in and load men and equipment. They’re the motherships to the barges. They were both filled with tonnes of supplies and (early on) thousands of men but neither got attacked. Other troop transports, like the requisitioned ships, cruise liner Canberra and ferry Norland also both carried thousands of men & tonnes of supplies and were in the anchorage for a good day or two but neither was attacked. Other requisitioned transports also came into the anchorage to offload supplies, but none were hit. The AAF went for the warships, not the assault ships or the transports, nor either the men and supply depots being constructed onshore (except once). To the British, in grim military arithmetic, as painful as it was and as much as they tried to avoid it they could still “afford” to lose a couple of warships - but to cripple the landing it was the transports, large assault ships and logistic depots that needed destroying and they didn’t attack them during the critical period.
Hi Grimreaper, I was wondering if it would be possible in the case you still use Delanclip to make an updated setup guide for the Delanclip with open track? I’ve recently bought one but can’t find much proper info online and currently having many issues having it run smoothly to the point numpad views seems more useful lol. Thanks!
didn't the Argies have Drop tanks filled with Napalm?(for the Pucaras) I remember reading that they found stockpiles at either Goose Green or Port Stanley leaking goo everywhere
DCS's monetization model is wierd... The game itself is free to buy and has no subscription, but ONE PLANE costs more than most AAA games like CoD, Battlefield, Elden Ring, GTA, or even the biggest game of them all - FIFA.

He loves saying Pucaras, doesn't he? :)
also using sheep for navigation is extremely dangerous. You might just fall asleep.
oof!
It appears to be the most stable ground attack platform in game.

In this mission, Grump deserves the Han Solo Medal for shooting first. Great watch ,well done Gentlemen.

That was a post-processing increase in Gamma. :) About 1.5x Gamma makes things more visible for the valued viewers!
@@WyvernFalken thank you valued pilot
We all know the real reason cap is doing this from the argentine side. It's because he wants to fly the pucara. Lol
yup

😅 If you are suffering from incontinence, perhaps you should see a doctor about that.
Did you model the bit where the BBC told the Argies we were coming?
There were members from the Royal Marines air defence troop present .
thx
Ricky S shot the Pucara down.
You tend to crash when you don't put your landing gear down lol

Small correction. It is IA-58 Pucará.
@@adb012 THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECTION
2 Para had HMG, MMG and Rapier at Goose Green, the slow moving Pucaras would have been susceptible to ground fire.
I think you mean Blowpipe as Rapier was not that mobile and only stationed around San Carlos.
@@colincampbell817 Yeah was thinking San Carlos not GG.
Don’t think they had HMG..
I was going to say that you don't need to worry too much about the Blowpipes because they were so difficult to use; but it seems that one pucara was indeed taken down by a Blowpipe.
What if the Argentinians had been allowed to buy the F5 instead of the A4??? That is the reenactment I want to see.
Scenario idea:could the USS Ronald Reagan CSG defend Taiwan from a Chinese naval invasion involving the DF-17?
Cool
Is the mission available anywhere? Looks like a hoot.
The Brand has most assuredly been protected.
phew!
The pucaras did maka at least 1 napalm strike, but missed.
3:40 🥱
he did a john mccain
lol
12:07 says "Soldier AK damaged" Think you smoked some friendlys on your last rocket run
Sorry!
OMG, he sent a rocket up his bum! This crap killed me! ROFL 😂😂😂
Outstanding as always!

2 Para had .50 cal M2, 7.62 GPMG, Blowpipe and Rapier at Goose Green. Odd they forgot to use them against the Pucaras.
Argentina could’ve won that battle if they counterattacked on the morning of the 29th
Sorry imposible...without heavy machines, ammunition,, mortars..only FAL....cheers from Argentine
@@fasfas8999 Well they had all that they even had napalm so they absolutely could’ve won
@@tmanthemost1157 but never used....cluster bomb aye but the other side

M72 LAW’s and Milan ATGM’s were used in the anti fortification role by the British. Very effectively as you mention
Cap, what was going on with your plane after it landed?
I think it was very angry with me?

Do you refer to anything specific?

What was fun about it?
It was fun to fly thats for sure.
-firedad
aw 2nd
Good briefing, some good historical information. Simulation starts. Pucaras all lined up nicely.
Grump: immediately fires rockets
I died laughing
The Pucara is such a cool aircraft... I mean it looks like an old Metroliner aircraft that is armed up to go to war and handles a lot better as well.
Closest you get to a wolf in sheeps clothing :D
It kinda reminds me of the German ME-410.
In the other video, what would happened to the typhoon fighters that are station in the Falkland island?
Would be cool to see a defensive fight in the Typhoon against the invading force
In reality, L2A2 link ammo tracer doesn't burn until 100M from the barrel. So if you were aiming at the trace you be hitting 100M short of the target.
wow! Now there is something I didn;t know!
Mosquito VS Pucara👍
Cap, I got an itch that needs scratched. Need to have some more Naval Battles please.
Noted.
Wow I really enjoyed this. Right into the action (once the mission started), the moody weather, prop planes and ground attack with tracers and plumes of smoke. Really good stuff.

Those Pucaras are fantastic, why aren't they used more or by other countries?
No idea.
Maybe they use helicopters for that job?
Interests and politics
Really Grump ... too funny , nice rocket straffing guys. Rofl @ Cap comments ( think of the blind). Great fun . Keep it up.
This is why your PTT button should never be the weapons release button...
A pucara was shot down by a blowpipe on the 28th May 1982- 1st day of the battle for goose green
thx
The soldier who fired that shot deserves a medal. The Blowpipe was notoriously difficult to shoot accurately.
@@nigeldepledge3790 he was a Royal Marine (Ricky Strange) and was put up for an MM but it was downgraded to an MiD.

Yes!
Great video, but please work on the audio.
I'm sure he appreciates the feedback but you need to be more specific in your request. What do you want him to fix in the audio?
