I’m going to be doing tactical videos for the A-4E more often now, so if you need a refresher on the basic skills to get you there, check out my A-4E Tutorials Playlist here: DCS A-4E Tutorial Series ruclips.net/p/PLD4N0spssu9dW9c9rwR8CRKamDsvVJUur
@@SportDCS No plans, I'm afriad... Next project is a Viper one, but you never know. I do enjoy bombing around in the Scooter, though. It's one of my favourite modules.
@@SportDCS That's really true.... To be honest, working on campaigns takes the "fun" out of it, just a little bit. I still enjoy making missions, and get lots of gratification out of it. But it's a different kind of "fun". 🙂
I think the trickiest part is identifying your target in those few seconds while you are "popping up" and getting all lined up. Its gets easier after 5-10 times on the same target but to think that real pilots had to do this on the first try is very impressive. Getting that whole pop up profile into muscle memory does help a lot of course but I never stay focused on one thing in DCS long enough to really nail that down. On another note, none of the new radar warning tones? They are really great for increasing the pucker factor as you hear them finding and then targeting you.
It’s 100% the trickiest part. One of the things we don’t have in DCS are good planning tools to execute strikes like this better. It would be cool if there was a mission planner before you spawn in, where you can click on your target area and take a “recon snapshot” to come up with your best plan of attack. As for the RWR sounds, I had the unit on and you can somewhat hear it in the background. I’ll do a video on using it and properly identifying the tones
@@SportDCS In a way, there may be: Using ME and a POV like "spectator", fly over the target area and zoom in/out to gain the view you want, then screenshot it. Edit it to fit the size of allowed images in the "briefing" and there you have it, a recon image of the target area!
A sprinkling of humor and an incredibly cheesy intro completes this very entertaining and informative video. You, dear sir, are deserving of a lot more than a mere 3600 subscribers!
You’re too kind. Best way to help the channel is by sharing the video anywhere you think it’s appropriate - Facebook, forums, etc! But at the end of the day, I’m just a humble small youtuber having fun making content for whoever feels like watching!
Awesome, your A-4E are some of the most to-the-point and best produced tutorials on any DCS plane I've seen! Thanks a lot and I hope I get to see more of your content. Would love to see eg. a whole mission, start to finish, with some commentary!
Great vid! This really showcases the shortcomings of DCS ground AI though, it took less than 15 seconds for them to fire accurately on you, while IRL it often takes me longer to even find a helicopter flying over!
That’s very true! But I also noticed that their fire wasn’t very accurate for the bursts they fired, which kind of indicated to me that they hone their accuracy over time?
This is especially painful with short-range IR missiles, like manpads. They just fire so fast, no matter how you pop up. And unlike guns, they don't have to be accurate...
Well if they had made it into a free module, every server would benefit from it. But since they are too stubborn and want to keep it as a mod, not many server will use that plane. It's just stupid. And their explanations as to why they won't do it is even dumber
The music track is City Lights, City Dreams by Forever Sunset, right? Thought I had spotify on by accident. The track choices go superbly with these videos.
Definitely did enjoy your candor and execution of the maneuver. Good video, I'm in the market for a new rig, are you willing to share your specs on yours? Thank you in Advance.
@@SportDCS I truly appreciate your candor and response, looking forward to being a part of the DCS and IL2 community. The Vietnam era is mostly what I'm interested in. Skill, machinery and tactics. Thanks
Is it possible to keep the mod as ‘free’ and also ‘sell’ it as a free module within DCS? This should be able to be used by all servers and as advertised as all products on the ED shop.
They should just make it a free module. End of the debate. They don't even need to constantly update it. Hell, FC3, Su-25T and even some paid modules aren't updated in years. And very few actually complain about it

Sport, you are setting the bar way high for DCS tutorials. Clear, concise, well shot and funny (VHS into is great). Well done!
You rock dude! Thank you for the compliment! Any plans to do an A-4 campaign???

@@sedlo best to leave it as something you can have fun in, then! Leave the fancy electric modules for “work!” Haha

Love the VHS intro and music. Bravo sir.
It's like from an old visual novel; hilarious to put into context with DCS.

Another well done A-4 video. Keep up the great work.
I love the DOD video intro music you use with these.
Thank you for all these tutorials! Top quality stuff man
Your videos are really the best, love the intro!!!!
Another banger like always
the A-4E is perhaps the module i have the most fun in
As always, beautiful video !! Informative too 🙂
I love these intro sections
All around nice job there.
Outstanding work Sport!! Thanks a bunch!
Excellent content n effort sport. Thank you for these videos.
I wish it would show up in more servers, love all your A-4 stuff.

Nailed it!
That thumbnail dough
Aye, sensei
Just love the intro
Great stuff as always! Dumb bombing in these older jets is DCS at its best.
Splendid! Love your videos !
Thanks a lot for the tutorial, this will be difficult to perform with a keyboard but I'll try my best
world record upload
Cool Thx!
Definitely did enjoy your candor and execution of the maneuver. Good video, I'm in the market for a new rig, are you willing to share your specs on yours? Thank you in Advance.
At this point it’s a fairly humble rig: i9 9900K, RTX 2080ti, 2x 2TB SSD, 64GB DDR4 RAM. With multithreading, am able to run max settings at 60-90fps

More tutorials pls, about everything in a4 LMAO 🤣
These videos are really great. Unfortunately you only cover the A4E otherwise you'd be making some competition for Laobi

Hi. Is there any tutorial to Control Adjustment? Im new in DCS, got a Logitech X52, and i'm getting a really hard time to config it.
I don’t specifically have one, but try this video by @MattWagner: ruclips.net/video/nIXdazooP30/видео.html
Great tutorial, I love that aircraft
