    Bring three gun pods, employ two of them. Almost commit fox-4 (read: lithobraking) by way of experimental rudder-controlled gun dispersion technique (DOD approved). Jettison gun pods into low earth orbit (to be recovered later by Gemini crew). Enter furball (some of that pilot shit). Egress at lawnmower altitude. 7/10 absolutely fantastic mission. Remember next time that landing the plane is completely optional. Welcome to floggit, captain.

  • @billcedarheath387

    From my real world 1980s experience with the F-4E, we didn’t use the SUU-16 20mm gun pod at all. We didn’t even do familiarization training. It wasn’t in our mission profile at that point. The 20mm pods were a C and D model thing.
    We did have the 30mm GPU-5 and when we did fly them we had them centerline for ground attack.
    One time we put them on the centerline and both inboards. Let’s just say the one time testing was enough to know... one on the centerline was enough. 🤣
    Also, the Phantom is most happy over 400kts and under angels 20.

      @chadirby6216 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +28

      I worked on E-models in the early 80s, and our MSgt had spent a long time working on them by then.
      He said that it was possible - technically - to put at least FIVE of those pods on an F-4E. You had to do some hotwiring to get them to fire simultaneously, but it had been done as a test. Apparently, the pilot had some Words about flying the plane with all pods + the centerline going at once, and it was never tried again.
      (...and you could have put a sixth one on...)
      The same MSgt also mentioned that they'd done a hotrod version of the F-4 once, with modified engines and a lot of aerodynamic tweaking (including a radome swap for a metal one) and ran it up to almost Mach 3 - for a few seconds. Again, never tried again.

    Aussies ordered the F-111C in early 1960s, and we were awaiting for delivery due in 1968, but due to the F-111 wings departing in flight on the early models, along with an extended wait for rectification the US offered a loan of up to a few squadrons worth of new F-4E Phantoms into the mid 1970s.
    The Aussies were so impressed with the Phantom, that an official request by the RAAF to the current political government was to keep the Phantoms with the new F-111C.
    I heard it was a very loud performer at air-shows, wish I could of seen one when I was very young kid but this DCS simulator is as close as you can get.......unbelievable creativity in this sim.

    When I was a kid, the local Air National Guard flew F-4s out of Bradley. My dad would take me to the airport and we'd watch them do touch and go's, then land and deploy the chute... really amazing to watch. Later that guard unit changed to A-10s which were impressive in their own way, and now I think it's converted to an Army National Guard unit with a couple of Chinooks.

    @MrMorden00 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    In Vietnam the original F-4Cs did not have an internal gun. The 366th Tactical Fighter Wing got the idea to use a centerline 20mm gun pod in A-A mode, and they scored several MiG kills that way. The squadron got the nickname "The DaNang Gunfighters" as a result. I would really like to see you do a video to replicate this, using the 20mm centerline pod in A-A use instead of the internal F-4E gun. I'm sure the aiming will be more challenging and the drag of the pod won't help either.
    I plan to do this after I pick up the DCS F-4E myself.

    • @TheHarvHR
      @TheHarvHR 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      They wouldn't have thrown them away ideally, same with the bomb racks that GS jettisons in other videos. That being said they both *could* be thrown off in the event that you need the performance edge in a dogfight.
      That all being said, while the Phantom could carry 3 gunpods it was very rarely done. The gunpods were not well liked, they were inaccurate and vibrated a lot, and caused a lot of weight and drag. On the Phantoms with the integrated gun they weren't often used, and the ones without the vulcan the single pod underneath was used out of necessity but not because it was liked

    You should consider the MIG Killers campaign by Reflected Simulations when it releases. It's a course meant to emulate the TOPGUN School during Nam and how Navy pilots learned how to properly dogfight in the Phantom.

    Those GE J-790's look like they need the burner upgrade... seeing how they're being their classic, smoky selves during low-speed flight.

    I remember reading somewhere that there was a group (can’t remember if it was just a flight or a larger number) of F4s that flew with three gun pods doing CAS and ground attack, calling themselves the Laredo Highway Patrol. Don’t know how much truth there was to it though.

    GS: "I'm dropping the gunpods to save weight..."
    ME: Wait, WHAT..?

    Man, this was the most thrilling DCS chase I've seen in a minute! The tracers audibly whipping by you on either side close to the end was wild. Do you have cinematic cuts of your videos anywhere, like Patreon or something? The way you started this one with the take-off really gave me that vibe, and with how exciting the rest of the chase was I think this would be a great candidate for something like that.

    Just a minute or two before 13:34 I started thinking "Get the heck out of there before the enemy gets really pissed off and reacts more forcefully to your presence and actions". Seems like we have similar thoughts.

    I heard that once, the JASDF spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find some loose rounds that fell out of a helicopter on a training mission.
    Forget about dropping three multi-million dollar gun pods!!
