There was the only Iraqi A2A victory during the Gulf war scored by a MiG-25 against an F/A-18 (Scott Speicher went MIA for long time than finally confirmed KIA in 2nd August, 2009). That would be a good theme for a video (if any MiG-25 available in DCS or elsewhere).

Carriers, Hornets, Tomcats, ...nice! You did a great job my friend, VERY nice job. Gen (R)Tony Mc Pete was caught off guard by the weather ( winter, lots of low cloud decks - which limited most air ops) .. the low cloud deck on most runs limited the striking performance and effectiveness of the strikers and the triple-A forced the strikers even higher(20-30.000ft -sub-optimal) and the cruise missiles(used only on 3 occasions) did not perform well either ~ I really enjoyed your real-time air to air comms and your very detailed and accurate narration - thank you for your hard work and study of the situation and accuracy describing it.

@Julia Gali Thank you very much! This is one of the topics where plenty of details were available. The pilot interview. radio comms, HUD recording..... When you got all that, you just gotta use it :)
Thanks! There will be more Desert Storm in the future. I could agree about F-117 on one hand. But then again, maybe the style of missions wouldn't be very exciting for most people. It was all about flying certain courses to avoid detection and locating the target would probably be the biggest challenge.
Well, the pilot got a lock quite late and his leader was going for a visual ID. He thought for a few moments and launched a second before the minimum range :)
Regarding the F/A-18s limited range: I spoke with some KC-135 aircrew, at McGuire AFB, right after their return to the states from that war. They joked that they often "had an escort of F-18s all the way to the target."
AWG9 was used in good measure against Iraqi Air force by Iranians during their conflict, Iraqi pilots learned the lesson and stood far and safe from that radar signature...
Some suggest that is part of the reason why the F-14 scored no kills against Iraqi fighters. They were apparently less afraid of F-15 because they didn't know it so well.
Thanks! We can speculate why MiGs didn't launch missiles.. Some say they were running away from some Tomcats. But generally, just because enemy planes are in front, doesn't mean your radar will detect them if it's not setup right. Especially those older radars. Their ground control could have been jammed or disabled otherwise. So, it's quite probable the MiG- pilots were completely unaware.

Sadly DCS is been around since 2008 but we still lag a lot of great fighter jets 🤦♂️like Mirage III , F-4 Phantom , F-105, F-100, A-4 Skyhawk, Hawker Hunter, British Lightning, Jaguar, and so on just to name a few.🤷♂️
We have the A-4 as a nearly-as-good-as-a-commercial mod. And Razbam is supposedly working on the Lightning. However they were also working on Mirage III but that's apparently stuck.
Don't tell anyone but this is German WWII flak :) Effects look pretty much the same I think. Even in 2003. Iraqis still relied heavily on these large callibre guns.
@Cmndr Roy Fokker Iraqis generally showed much less than initially anticipated. In only a few occasions (such as the MiG-25 pilots shot down by Pitts and Tollini) they demonstrated a significant level of competence. In DCS world, even AI at rookie level will generally give you more resistance 😁
Possibly. However, Mike Speicher, the F/A-18 pilot from the same squadron was shot down and killed on the firs t night. So maybe, not too much partying.

Completely agree
It would be interesting if we had a flyable MiG-25. I mean, it could be made from Hornet's perspective too. I'll think about it.
I think that was the opening moments of the air war. The first A2A kill of the war went to the Mig-25. All down hill from there
