    On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
    If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

      So you finally convinced me to download DCS. I purchased the F/A-18C and the A-10C at the same time due to being 50% off. I tried entering your code, but it wouldn’t take it. I’m guessing because I had 2 planes in the cart. So I don’t know if that’s something you want to mention to folks. Can’t wait to try some of these missions.

    • @matts2758
      @matts2758 Год назад +12

      One of the limitations of DCS is there's not much stuff going on on the ground because as soon as ground units move it melts your computer. Being able to actually influence the outcome of a ground battle would be amazing.

  • @rattleheadx
    @rattleheadx Год назад +46

    I dig the mission-based vids, and the A-10 stuff is probably the best of that. It makes it feel like you're a part of a larger conflict and what you're shooting at actually matters.

  • @bblvrable
    @bblvrable Год назад +31

    I think the A-10 is still one of the best close air support platforms around. Comparing it with an F-15 isn't really fair, since they're meant for two totally different sorts of missions. An F-15 is great if you need to get in, hit something, and get out immediately. The A-10 is for when you need longer time on target to take out multiple enemies in a single sortie.

  • @jeffmonson2073

    That gun run on the tank tho... You might not have killed him yourself, but you definitely fucked him up a bit, spooked him out of defilade, and gave the friendlies a fighting chance!

  • @Clean97gti
    @Clean97gti Год назад +2

    There's a good argument that the Close Air Support mission is kind of over for the A-10. Old Cold War SAM platforms are one thing, but against modern stuff, the A-10 is kind of a sitting duck. Especially if it has to contend with enemy air cover. Then again, it carries a LOT of ordnance. As a bomb truck, it's a pretty serious piece of gear. The US Navy had similar capabilities in the A6E Intruder and I'd love to see that comes to DCS. Even better if they did the full re-engine and new avionics the A6F was supposed to get. The biggest issue is the lack of stealth, but the second you try to use the F-35 as a bomber, it can't carry nearly enough in its internal bays to justify its use and you have to mount things on its external hardpoints. Once that happens, the stealth factor drops off considerably and you're just flying a very expensive plane without a lot of cover to do what the Hornet and the Warthog can do (and what the Intruder and the Bombcat used to do_

  • @RagsHSC-7
    @RagsHSC-7 Год назад +1

    The debate with Congress wanting to get rid of the A10 warthog is also from the AF that it is designated to. The solution would simply be is to give it to the marines that is attached to US Navy. Then they can put it on their jump ships. It would take little modification to make that happen then it would not be a specifically a road warrior which we Navy pilots the Air Force road warriors can't take off without a runway. 90 to 96 on Big John flying helos from the sea king to the Seahawk got hurt on a training mission after coming back from Kuwait. Talk about a ponder. The A10 would be perfect for the Marines and the pilots. Also with navy assets and able to continue to support the grunts on the ground. Absolutely. Very good point that you made. Thank you 👍

    • @No1sonuk
      @No1sonuk Год назад

      IIRC, EVERY time the USAF starts talking about retiring the A-10, the US Army or Marines say "we'll take them", then the USAF decides to keep them.

  • @michaellovero7554
    @michaellovero7554 Год назад

    That is exactly why the A-10 will never be obsolete. Loiter time, firepower, and the ability to withstand punishment that would put other planes in the dirt. As long as there is a ground war, there will be the A-10.

    Was watching and talking to the screen when you were doing that last run, "No, use a maverick!" lol Wikipedia says BMP machine guns are 7.62mm. The main gun is a 73mm on a BMP-1, BMP-2 and BMP-3 use 30 MM autocannons.

    • @gotafarmyet4691
      @gotafarmyet4691 Год назад

      1 if fine for a gun pass, and you were going home anyways, else use a maverick. The guys on the ground always need air support. Sudden lead poisoning on a plane is usually not as fatal, compared to a body.

    The A-10 is like an omnivore. It's "original" mission, maybe history but the airframe has so much potential for other missions. If they would pull some of the airframe from the boneyard I could see them fitted with a couple M134 mini guns for close in COIN operations, and AIM-9s for helicopter escort during SAR missions. Much like the A-1 Skyraider.

  • @Avera9eWh1teShark6
    @Avera9eWh1teShark6 Год назад

    Cool vid. My take on the A-10 is that it is still a serviceable aircraft. However, in the modern day, against a modern, near-peer adversary, if you don't want to turn CAS missions into rescue missions, we need a new dedicated CAS platform built from the ground up with new and future technologies and the realities of modern war in mind, rather than continuing to prop up a plane designed around Vietnam era technology and tactics.
    If I had to rework the A-10, I would do these:
    -minimal/no requirement for low and slow
    -drop the cannon in favor of gun pods
    -switch to two seater to reduce task overload
    -more powerful engines to increase speed, range, and payload
    -built-in sensory and targeting systems like the F-35's EODAS and EOTS and defensive EW to free up hardpoints
    -optionally manned if possible to maintain optempo without extra strain on pilots or continuing mission or RTB under it's own power in the event of pilot KIA while the aircraft is still mission capable
    -reduced frontal RCS (optional, but not mandatory. stealth is moot on site, but helpful for ingress.)

    I love These DCS Videos, i watched them for years now. Havent pulled the trigger on DCS ... yet. Anyways , I always wondered: ist that all person versus person simulation? Meaning the other Aircraft and the AAs etc are being "played" by people ? Or ist is a mix of PVP and PVC ? Thanks for letting me know!😊

    A cut & polish will make that engine as good as new!

    Thing is you brought her back home. So they'll fix her and you will be back out there the other guy won't be because thirty millimeter to the face. It's only a couple of hundred grand for the new engine.Seems like its a win in my honest opinion. . ya did good work.
