@@L3v3LLIP Math lovers? Thing is, the idea of weapon system management as well as tweaking radars and selecting targets sounds and would be so fun! But don't get me wrong, flying the f14 as the front pilot is also an amazing experience. So both are excellent in their own ways. But yes, if someone does not have a proper hotas but does have trackir, this job would be perfect :)
@@averageaviationgeek9318 This was not meant negative. Just a little jab. RIO is going to be cool as hell, and the cockpits view is just so much cooler. Cant wait until Wednesday :)
@@Galf506 yeah but with f18 you need to know what buttons to press and what modes to set up or whatever. With jester you just tell him in English and he just does it. No buttons to worry about. I'm a filthy casual
Ill probably have to do 2 player stuff for the awg-9 tutorial im hoping to get out by the 12th, but maybe someone else will have something too, not sure.
@@Jabbers isn't jettisoning done on the ACM panel in the driver's office? I know conformal fuel tanks and A-A stores could be jettisoned this way. In fact, it is sometimes a good idea, that during ACM you have some of the stations selected and ready to drop, just in case you are too heavy for whatever you are fighting against.
@@Jabbers shit... I must have broken something or it was bugged AF cause it did nothing haha. Also trying to Dogfight with those on its IMPOSIBLE xD. Thanks for the tip! And Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷 big fan of the channel 😁👍🏻
I absolutely can't get them to fire. I'm AG Mode with zunis selected, I see the symbology but nothing happens on trigger press or pickle. Same for bombs too
@@Jabbers --- oh... i was expecting you to say the sounds are different if firing from the fuselage or from the wing station ---- we'll see what heatblur says - maybe its accurate (anyone who knows... feel free to chime in)
I thought it was different because of the station as well. I feel the ZUNIs on the fuselage give you that almost “hollow hum” from the vibrations (maybe?) coming right up the airframe into the cockpit where as the wing stations are far enough out that they don’t have the same effect. Guess we’ll wait and see if it’s a bug or accuracy
Nice and informative video! :D I was wondering, can we use the TCS to ground designate a target for bombing? Can you cancel an initiated rocket attack?
You can designate a ground target or IP (for offset bombing) using the TCS, but as far as I can tell, you can only adjust the vertical aim with the TCS, and horizontal aiming must still be done with the aircraft. Normally, target designation is done visually with the HUD, and the TCS just happens to be slaved to the HUD datum mark or target designator in that circumstance.
I could i guess, its very specific to my ultrawide setup, why not just set it up yourself? Maybe ill make a video on how to do it, only takes like 5 minutes
@@Jabbers I have made one but I cannot get my head movements right. Something seems off every way I try it and after watching your videos, it looks like yours is perfect.
I told Jester to select Zunis and nothing happened even though they were equipped. Your video was not helpful at all. I had to read the manual and select A/G mode first, but even then I was not able to launch the Zunis for whatever reasons. I hope to see a better tutorial, because this was just a waist of time for me. Sorry.
Ag mode on hud, master arm on, jester select zunis... this was more a demonstration of the weapons and options you can use with Jester. It goes along with the manual, infact it is embedded in the manual. That way when you actually read the manual to learn how to configure your plane for air to grand attacks, when you get to the chapter about zunis you can watch this video to accommodate what you’ve read. Sorry it did t work out that way for you
Ok, I am sorry if I was a bit salty before. It was not a great experience for me to watch the video three times just to find out that you did not take a few seconds to mention anything about the aircraft setup. If I had time time to read the whole manual, then I would not have to watch tutorials about the basics any more. I hope you will consider this as constructive criticism. Have a nice day.
QuiGon thank you! I have never ever seen them used ever in real life when they were flying them, nor are there any pictures other then the test flight. I will not be using this feature.
They probably went withe the “if its was possible its in. Let mission makers deal with historical realism”. The Tomcat was designed to replace the Phantom even as an air to ground platform. As such it was configured to carry the Zunis even if operationally the need to use them never materialized and pilots were never really trained to do so in an extensive fashion.
@@Alvi410 The Tomcat was not at all designed to replace the F-4 in the A-G-role. That's just wrong. The A-6, A-7 and F/A-18 were intended for that. The F-14 was intended by the Navy for A-A only and was only later employed in the A-G-role when the threat of soviet air disappeared.
QuiGon Designed and Employed are two different things. Why do you think it took nothing to configure the F-14 for ground attack? Read the story of the project or a Natops manual. It was designed for air to ground but as you correctly said the navy had enoug A-6s and A-7s to do the job allowing the F-14s to be used only in an air-to-air role. Go read about marine aviators trained on F-14s in the early days when the Air-To-Ground capability was still on the table and the Marine Corps was going to get F-14s to replace the F-4s

2:00 Expensive way to dig a hole to put a pool in.
Cool how they paid attention to detail, down to the old "laggy" hud.
The original Sidewinder used the zuni rocket motor
So glad, that I've pre-ordered it.
Even 'simple' rockets already have depth and flexibility, great video Jabs! Still, I can just get distracted by the gorgeous textures and weathering of the cockpit elements. It looks so good..
Gotta love using ccrp with rockets in the a 10 to rain down hellfire from many miles away.
The Zuni pod and rockets were only tested once on the Tomcat. That was it. Tested in 1996 on a VF-101 F-14B jet.
Nice Vid Jabs. very helpful... now lets get that front seat back seat MP vid!!
Ripple x30 should be called ARAK mode
4:10 He wants how many rockets?! Fine, he's the pilot
Wow amazing ! T-6 days
Great video. Can’t wait until it releases. One small feedback...please stop the roll-aheads.
Laser zunis are incredibly effective
When you just walk out of school and you get a notification that jabbers uploaded about the tomcat 😏😂👌👌
Why does the RIO cockpit and job sound more interesting?
Because it is :)
Great that there are so many math lovers wanting to be RIO :D

@@L3v3LLIP don't worry, I did not take it as a negative statement. Just wanted to clearify ;)
Does the f-14 have a weapons release button or do you just have to pull the trigger on the stick?
Trigger for forward firing, weapons release for things that fall off the plane
Six days baby !
Jester AI makes everything so much easier.
Not really, in the F-18 it takes about as long to set up rockets. ;)
@@Galf506 yeah but with f18 you need to know what buttons to press and what modes to set up or whatever. With jester you just tell him in English and he just does it. No buttons to worry about. I'm a filthy casual
@@Galf506 true, but the f-18 doesn't have a RIO who can crack jokes :p
@@christopherbazaka1564 Exactly
When will we see two players actually Rio and pilot together? Will there be footage of it before release?
Ill probably have to do 2 player stuff for the awg-9 tutorial im hoping to get out by the 12th, but maybe someone else will have something too, not sure.
Beautiful. How do you jettison the empty Zunis?
RIO can do that, but not sure with Jester, havent explorer that yet, or its not currently implemented.
@@Jabbers isn't jettisoning done on the ACM panel in the driver's office? I know conformal fuel tanks and A-A stores could be jettisoned this way.

ACM Jettison should do it.
Hey! nice video! I was wondering if there is a way of jettison the zuni pods after being shot e.e
Yup weapon jettison the stations
@@Jabbers shit... I must have broken something or it was bugged AF cause it did nothing haha. Also trying to Dogfight with those on its IMPOSIBLE xD.
Thanks for the tip! And Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷 big fan of the channel 😁👍🏻
Try acm jettison from the pilot pit next time
Where's the set-up part? Anybody have that tidbit of necessary info?
Setup what?
I absolutely can't get them to fire. I'm AG Mode with zunis selected, I see the symbology but nothing happens on trigger press or pickle. Same for bombs too
Master arm on?
Q --- why does the sound change?
at first you hear a louder hollow sound and then it gets quieter - what's going on with that?
I think its a bug in DCS, i did notice that
@@Jabbers --- oh... i was expecting you to say the sounds are different if firing from the fuselage or from the wing station ---- we'll see what heatblur says - maybe its accurate (anyone who knows... feel free to chime in)

Guess we’ll wait and see if it’s a bug or accuracy
It's definately the glove stations. Sidewinder shots sound like that as well.
Oh damn I hadn’t even thought about that
in which wing sweep modus have you flown this attacks? Manual, Auto or Bomb?
Typically bomb
Jabbers can you show us the Lantirn Pod and GBU's?
Eventually, prob not before release tho
@@Jabbers Roger that, i spent 20 years flying AH64's excited for this module.....

Why would you ever want to ripple based on speed?
Sweet!
When this fighter will be released?
13th
Jester looks cumbersome to use. Hope it's not the case.
You get use to him pretty quick
1st! ive never clicked to fast before
Can you post your Track IR profile? Pretty please?!

what is your setup? TrackIR with the track hat or pro clip?
@@Jabbers I use the pro clip
Is your camera offset on your monitor to the side the clip is on, or is it centered on the monitor?
Players can RIO right?
mskiUSMC yes
I zunni you Jabbers
6 more days
But can you loft it?
I suppose you could lol
You could try it by shooting early... but I guess the "CCIP" is just limited to 4000' slant range and will be off past that.
When f14 release?
ra803 g april 13
March 13th
Rockets on the tomcat ? Funny becouse it was only used one time for testing in real life :P
Sim :)
only 5 days... highway to the dangerzone
Anyone else notice the ROVER antennas?
Making it rain
Glasses are too small.

I still don't understand why we get Zunis for the Tomcat. It has made a single test flight with them IRL and that's about it...

Fun, but unrealistic.
how so?
IF the aircraft was capable to carry them and fire them, it's realistic. Period.
Johan G.Bruère-Dawson I agree totally. Just because they never did carry them doesn’t mean that they can’t carry them.
It's also unrealistic to shoot Phoenixs at stuff then.
And while we're at it, gunning down ground targets... :)
