- This server gameplay is something I have longed for in DCS World for quite some time now. As a former sonar tech/supe I absolutely love any games that incorporate antisubmarine warfare into a playable format. Now in DCS thanks to @eatleadcobra we have submarines who are actively trying to sink our shipping. His server is called Free WWX - Eastern Front 19XX.
You may recall an older video I made on his server which detailed the cool supply mechanic and torpedo bombing you could do. It used to be called Free WWII - Eastern Front 1946 because it was WWII focused. You could still do torpedo runs but now we have a new menace underneath the surface trying to use their torpedoes on your shipping. It is now called WWX because with the release of the Phantom, he has moved the server into the early Cold War. We now have propeller driven WWII planes, helicopters, and some jets. This might sound like a crazy mix but it makes for some really fun flying with others.
Of all the things now added to the server, my favorite without a doubt is hunting the submarines. All aircraft can drop sonobuoys but the Hip and the Mosquito can actually tune up the sonobuoys. When you tun up the sonobuoys you could actually listen to the audio from the sonobuoy to determine how far away the submarine is. This is SO much fun and this video is going to teach how to use the ARC-9 radio in the Mi-8 Hip to drop sonobuoys, tune them up, and kill the submarine threatening your shipping. We'll also briefly go over dropping bombs in the Hip and resetting the bomb panel after rearming off a ship at sea. I hope you enjoy!

If you have any questions you can find me at both of those places and I can help you out! - เกม
If you're looking for this server it is called "Free WWX - Eastern Front 19XX" and the current mission name is called "Eastern Front 1974 - Novorossiysk v1.9.5" If you see me on there say hi and if you need help with the sub stuff I can show it to you really fast, it is fairly easy to get spun up on it!
Edit:
A new version of it just released last night. The server is now called "Formerly Free WWX - World War X Cyprus"
And the new mission name is called:
"Middle Eastern Front 1974 - Battle of Cyprus v1.0.6"
I’m an H60 Romeo pilot that does ASW and your video was super interesting to watch. Unfortunately most of the information regarding asw is classified but I will say on a very basic level you were doing a lot of what we do. Our sensors are much more sophisticated. And we have an active sonar transducer we put into the water to ping them as well. Nice job though! If you’re younger than 28, medically well, and have a degree you could totally be a Romeo pilot if you wanted to. We always need more pilots.
Man that is awesome! Thank you for your service and it would be a dream to have been a Romeo pilot. I’m 37 and was a surface sonar supe on a DDG and FFG long ago. There’s actually a 60R mod for DCS but the cockpit is basically a UH60L. The game can’t really model lofargram analysis like other games (Dangerous Waters has a Romeo and can do advanced sonar things).
I have another video on my channel showing that Romeo ASW mod off. It’s a ton of fun.
th-cam.com/video/snq9EODKZik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VQgq4t_sCelJgcmb you can see there the cockpit doesn't have the MFDs like the Romeo but it is still a real fun mod and it is 100% free which is great. I suck at night flying over the water lol
Hey mate , my goal is to become an Romeo pilot in the Navy, First of all thank you for your service and I've got tonnes of question, is there any way to reach you personally ? I've been looking for Romeo pilot in very long time I hope you help me.
bro dominates subs
Hell yes!!!
Great video! And nailed the landing. Much better to have this in a video, trying to get all this across through the briefing or FAQs is difficult
Thanks man and thank you for spending your time making this awesome server. It’s been a blast to fly on!
This is really cool, you've built something I had no idea I wanted! Definitely going to drop by the server
@@ryu1940 I second this.
that server sounds really fun!
also a very good training scenario
Oh man I love this server. The mission just got updated today to the Syria map though. I haven’t tried it yet.
Awesome video
Thank you!
I’ll be checking out this sever tonight. Thanks for the heads up
A new version of it just released last night called "Formerly Free WWX - World War
X Cyprus"
Thanks Ryu, i'll be watching this while I'm waiting for my daughter to come out of school!
Been waiting for this after your reddit comment. sounded fun as hell
Nice! Have you got to try it out yet ?
I gotta say thanks man, your vids helped me bite the bullet and try DCS (ECW specifically). The hip was a bit too much to bite off for me starting out, but I've been flying the SU-25 and having a blast! One day I'll finally join the hip gang lol
That is awesome man! Thank you for watching the videos! If you have the Hip I’m very happy to sit down in multicrew with you sometime and give you some pointers to help you out. I love helping people get into it. It’s a fun one once you know it’s little quirks and tendencies!
It would be cool if having a server specific naval skin for the chopper was a pre requisite. Surely there’s something close to a naval skin for the hip on Ed’s user files.
That would be cool! But I must say I do like that this server doesn't require any downloads you just log in and play which is great.
If you bind the triggers in the hip which I believe is the PTT for the ICS (first detent) and radio (second detent) they can bring up the comms menu while airborne.
Yeh I think you’re right cus the RALT + \ is the interphone (ICS) iirc
This server is absolutely awesome. Gives me hope for a SH2F Seasprite in DCS someday.
Man that would be an awesome helicopter to do this stuff with!
There’s an ai mod available in I think tetete Vietnam ships mod. Btw the sh3 seaking ai mod looks great parked up on the back of an ffg/dog or doing rescue duties around the carrier. def worth a look
So when the submarine gets close the ocean goes quiet? That makes no sense
it makes sense lol the ambient noise level of the ocean is loud compared to a distant quiet submarine, if the submarine is very close to the hydrophone you'll basically just hear the extreme loudness of the submarine and the db levels will drown out ambient ocean noise. there are things that affect this of course, weather and wave action can potentially increase ambient noise levels in certain ways but dcs doesnt model different sea states and this is just a side thing on a server that does other things as well. it isnt worth the time imo to get down into modelling tons of specific cases that modify detection parameters or sound output on the sonobuoys
