Hey pilots! Tricker here and I want to welcome you to my channel on combat aviation. I’m a real world pilot in the Airbus 319/320/321 series and I enjoy DCS World, Falcon BMS, Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik, X-plane 11, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
If you want to fly WWII aircraft over Normandy and the English Channel, then DCS World WWII is for you and they have plenty of aircraft to choose from such as the BF-109, FW-190, Spitfire, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang. If you enjoy modern aerial combat then you want to focus more on DCS World products such as the F-16, A-10C Warthog, AH-64D Apache, F-15, F-14, JF-17, SU-27, Mirage, Mig-29, F-18 Hornet, Mi-8, Mi-24 Hind, Uh-1 Huey, Ka-50, F-5, Mig-21, AV-8b Harrier, and the F-4 Phantom. Some of the mods that are out there for DCS World are the F-22 Raptor, SU-57, A-4 Skyhawk, Rafale, and Gripen.
I enjoy other games such as Total War, Battlefield, War Thunder, Escape from Tarkov, as well as Squad.

Just bought 3 AGM-84D Harpoon missiles and 1 F/A-18c Hornet because of this video. Thanks!
Save some for the rest of us!
U gonna be lopsided. U need one more. Or are u gonna shop for another weapon?
In our group, we tend to run a 2 or 3 F-18 strike with 2 or 3 sorties of 12 TALD'S to drain the enemies SA missiles, then run in with 4 Harpoon's. Seems to work fairly well most of the time.
Yah you definitely need TALDs and multiple harpoons to take out this bad boy
Now I know why the national debt is so bad... TALD-FLATION IS REAL!
@@Lochaby well ya can swarm em with harpoons but the talds are far more efficient and cheaper.
How many virtual tax dollars is this going to cost us?
Fun trick with TALDS..don`t aim them directly at the ships, the game models the difficulty of intercepting them, if you launch them 5-10 degress off so they pass infront of or behind the ship the intercept geometry gets a LOT harder for the ship and it draws out more of their SAMs.
Don't forget that the Harpoon is also capable of A2A engagements (especially against alien space ships) as depicted in the documentary "Independence Day" by renown German filmmaker Roland Emmerich.
I didn’t know this, thanks jester! 💀
Well of course they can..the Harpoon is anti-SHIP...it was a space SHIP..its logical ^-^
The Moskva is a lot easier to find IRL now that it's stationary, but might still be hard to get a harpoon on it. :)
Hah
SUBROC would do the trick !
Love it man, these are great! Might I also add that your voice just absolutely fits with all this and the narration is awesome!! And the clips are hilarious lol, you're killing it dude!
Appreciate it dude!
How can u fire harpoons underwater to hit the moskova… this is very unrealistic sir!
@@aeroRCmodelsthe harpoons are not underwater
Thank you for sharing the mission file and thanks for all your great tutorials!
Good tutorial, Tricker. Thank you so much. You are one of the few who correctly explain that the SEEK function refers to the search area distance of the missile and not the size of the ship.
Appreciate it brother 🫡
Awesome video tricker, keep it up man!
Thanks brother
Great Tutorial, nice detail the sharing of the mission ... glad to be subscribed, love your channel.
Thanks brother, good to have you around still
Thanks for the refresher! Its so weird that not all weapons use the same button press scheme for fuctions like locking. But I guess different contractors, different software & methods.
You need to hit the slava class with at least x7 harpoons (usually more) to knock it out in dcs, or x24 gbu 38’s set to pen mode. It’s really silly imo. I doubt it will change but I really wish they’d make weapons a bit more effective vs ships when they hit.
That’s a lot of boom required!
6 is about right for Harpoons vs a Slava. People MASSIVELY over-estimate the effectiveness of missiles on ships. Unless you get a lucky strike on a magazine the ship is going to survive. A good example of this is the IRIS Sahand an Alvand class frigate..it took 3 Harpoon, 4 1,000lb bombs and 2 Rockeyes..and finally sank several hours later when the uncontrolled fires finally reached her magazine. The Alvand class were tiny 1,100tons and it took that much firepower to sink it..a Slava is 11,000 tons.
FYI, to bypass long range defenses of ships, fly below 30ft until 10-20 miles from the target. Pop up to 300-400ft and fire off your Harpoons.
You rock my world.
No youuuuuuu bmw man
I see Tricker, i click.... Great video
Boom!
Thanks 🫡

Could you do a video on the SLAM and SLAM-ER next?
That’s in the works already 🚀
Back doing the tutorials dude? Good stuff.
Trying!
Well this helped, I find these tricky to program etc tbh so this has simplified it for me 👍
Woah!? Did i miss something? When did DCS start rendering the TGP past 40 miles? I've been away for a while.
Sorry, I meant awesome video Tricker. Never used the Harpoon before, always looked a bit of a faff. Seems straightforward now.
This is a single player mission I made but I know some multiplayer servers have a limit on how far you can see units to help save performance on your end and then render them in closer to the target you get.
You can see things to about 70-80 miles now....but only lock at about 45.....and about 6-12 months.
I tried the same scenario and had the same result. I also tried coming in at 50 ft and mach 1, throwing 5x 2000lb bombs onto the ship and it took only a few % damage. You'd think a 2000 pound projectile hitting something at 1115 feet per second would do something, nevermind one with a bunch of explosive fill, but, meh. I blame the damage model. Also I discovered that the DCS world is flat. The cruiser didn't start firing till I was within something like 10 miles.
Target, 69 miles! Nice... Well done my man! Great tutorial!
danke mein freund
funnily enough im in the process of modeling that exact cruiser for my 3D exam
What’s a 3D exam? Like a 3D printer?
@@TrickerDCS haha no i study for a class in 3D modeling and game development, and we are having our exams now
@@comradeboris2335 haha I gotcha
Moskva a cruiser huh? Thought it was a submarine 😉
You’re thinking of the red October 👀
@@TrickerDCS naw like it’s underwater now swimming with Davy jones 😂
@@MrGameMeister the Flying Dutchman!
Harpoon missiles also used in Godzilla film
Which one, there’s so many lol
@@TrickerDCS Original 1990s movie.
@@alfredjr2k556 wow that brings back memories haha
If you want this to be a realistic scenario, you need to turn the AI off for Moskva 😂
You know, I’m pretty sure the Harrier is a better Anti-Ship platform…
Best of the best platform
The best anti ship platform is the Viggen, however in SP the Harpoon just doesnt work in DCS against ships like the Moskva. In MP with several aircraft you can launch 4 HARM each and overwhelm the defences.....but you need quite a few Hornets (I think 8 from memory but I might be wrong). In SP, Maverick F or L (carried by the Harrier and Hornet) fired from 3-5 miles are more effective as they can be fired from under 30 ft so you are immune to SAMs - but not CIWS. (or the sea). The Harrier can also carry a pair of sidearm which are effective as a decoy for the CIWS so 2 sorties is enough to sink a Moskva. The Hornet might need 3 as CIWS is more likely to shoot the Mavs down. Hopefully ED will reduce the god like ability of ships to detect and shoot down Harpoon....and a single Harpoon hit should have a good chance of crippling a ship. However with the command and conquer damage model we have....
@@Pukin-Dog at the end of the day more Argentinian A-4’s have sank ships than Harriers or Viggens 👀
@@SportDCS it's a good shout one a4 completely disabled the wnirire weapons systems on a destroyer with 20mm cannon fire. DCS ...a superb cockpit sim, a great flight sim, but its not a realistic combat sim
Nice one Tricker! Learned a couple things I did not know about the Harpoon! I love these high tech long range missiles! Fun stuff! Thanks for taking the time to make this and share! I know it’s a lot of work and editing so thank you! Hope you’re doing well.🫡
Appreciate it brother. Made it because I haven’t used them in years so it was good to come back and learn it again
We're whalers on the moon, We carry a harpoon! But there ain't no whales, So we tell tall tales, And sing our whaling tune!
I love glorious sea shanty, yarrr!
Man this thing is so hard to kill in DCS.
Yah it’s a pain in the butt solo
Ah yes its the video I was promised... now we just need some Harrier action 😅
What do you wanna see with the harrier
@TrickerDCS For non-tutorials, I'd love to see some sorties on some of the pvpve servers. For a tutorial kind of thing, I'd love to see a "here's the things that are actually important to know how to use/bind in the cockpit, and how I do so" kind of video.
Your guides are awesome no nonsense, here's how to get it done for the weapon systems, but I still need to watch a 2 hour Spudknocker video where he explains what every switch and button does to get to that point. I'd love a video in your style where you trim the fat and say "here's what you need to take off and kill shit, go forth and wreak havok"
@@threeggaming Roger that. Appreciate the thought and feedback 🫡
Every time I used these missiles they do almost no damage and get shot down even if I fired 40 of them.
Yah unfortunately the sea assests of Dcs are insane, they need to nerf them
@@TrickerDCS Ironically best way to kill a ship with a F-18 is to fly at 30 feet with a Zuni rocket loadout and if you hit with all of them you can kill a ship in 2 salvos.
Not entirely sure why but this video sounds like it was narrated by an AI trained on his original voice
🦾🤖
Somehow, Moskva has returned. Oh never mind it's dead again.
Better than Joe Rogan
But he’s the goat making millions on Spotify
Alll this planning gives enemy to much time
That’s when you need to be creative and do less planning 😈
