Yeah all these vids have been good! Great channel. Q: Did you start another server or you decided to play on a different one? All the other videos are from Enigma Cold War server.
@@Sandboxcode This is just me playing on another server. If you look back to my channel as a whole, I spent a lot of time making videos playing on a lot of other servers. Korea '52, Finnish Server, Alpenwolf's Cold War, Growling Sidewinder, etc etc. I like the idea that server owners can take the same game but make it feel completely different by shaping a world within their server and I like exploring them all to see which ones I vibe with. If I find one that I think is interesting, I try to share it out so others can have fun as well. Even though I have a server on DCS, I do not believe it is the only server in DCS. There are others that are fun too and this one I have fun on.
@@Enigma89 Oh snap my bad. Thanks for the reply. Thought I watched all of your vids but now to think of it guess I focused on the Enigma Cold War videos
I absolutely did find this video and your approach of looking outside, important. I beginning to see your approach to the game. RWR is critical, good video
Nice video, and great kills. Love seeing the cobra switch getting used in any circumstance >:) I gotta ask though because it was driving me nuts in the F-18 fight @ 2:42 and @ 7:10 when sneaking up under the F-16 with EO: why do you never change the radar elevation, even when you know the target is above you? Never touching PRF modes can be forgiven because in a server with restricted weapons it doesn't add a ton of utility, but never changing your radar elevation is an egregious misuse of glorious Su-27
Also the radar azimuth was mismanaged, it was left to the left when engaging the 2nd DL contact in the first engagement. @Enigma might want to work on that rusfor sensor management a lil more.
@@RJFlyer tbh I rarely change the scan zone left and right because I'm gonna launch missiles nose-on anyway, and I very rarely have cause to be scanning to my left and right because datalink. More useful in MiG-29 though
I did but it just did not make it in the video for the second engagement. I try to be respectful of people's time and cut out any long parts where very little (or nothing) happens to keep the total video time to 12 minutes. In my other Flanker videos, you can see I make common use of it. For the first engagement, it was more just not having time to react quick enough before he launched.
R-73 is a Fox-2 missile (Heatseeker). It can be fired offbore and at short ranges. R-77 is not on this server and is a fox-3 missile, meaning it is truly fire and forget and will guide itself. R-27 is a fox-1 missile so semi-active. You have to keep your radar lock to guide the missile.
Interesting that Redfor has English default DCS AWACS? Can we get that on the CW server? The Russian BRAA calls are terrible, especially in VR. (really wish ED would make this player toggle-able, I mean, among so many other things...)
Will look into it. The AWACs is tricky for us because of the different radio bands in each plane, the cold war ones are pretty particular so not sure about the nuances.
Karma is a b*tch! Hope you enjoyed :)

Man I wish this exact flanker could be fully modeled. I miss the old Flameing Cliffs fox one fights.
That HOTAS fumble while dealing with the second Hornet. :D Gives me flashbacks :)
It is crazy how fast you lose muscle memory when you havent flown a module in a while especially when it is not FF and you have to map everything

Good stuff, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
nice sortie👍as always
Thanks for commenting again VC and watching another.

@@stuntpuppy8557Id reccomend you start using L/R scan zone, huge advantage in close in situations.

Ohh this looks fun!
Nice flying!
Thanks! 👍
Hey, you might not asnwer. But i'm just curious.
Why are you using T's and R's instead of ET's and ER's?
The ER and ET are restricted in the server r
We really need a populated 80s Cold War server.
really interesting to watch in the first fight how did manage to know you had defeated the missile
The RWR. In general the RWRs are super accurate / fast response in DCS so as soon as it stops then you know it lost track.
making me jealous 29 doesnt have DL
DL on 29 would take it to the next level for sure
@@Enigma89 Well atleast Lazur on the 29 would be nice.
Not sure what that Huey pilot was thinking flying that high
Probably just chilling, I was the only red player on at that point so it was relatively safe to go for a nice high flight
@@Enigma89 war crime.that was a medvac huey.
what is the difference between the R-73 and R-77? same question with all the different R27s.
R-73 is a Fox-2 missile (Heatseeker). It can be fired offbore and at short ranges. R-77 is not on this server and is a fox-3 missile, meaning it is truly fire and forget and will guide itself. R-27 is a fox-1 missile so semi-active. You have to keep your radar lock to guide the missile.
@@Enigma89 thanks man
R27R Semi Active Radar Homing fox1
R27T (27R converted) Heatseeker fox2
R60 heatseeker fox2
R73 heatseeker fox2
R77 active radar homing fox3
Russian planes are really cool, weather it's the cobra maneuver or the engine sounds it's really cool.
It's nice to go against the grain and not fly only blue
@@Enigma89 yeah i will sometimes go into servers and there is not a single red player
@@JacksonMiller_ It's pretty much a constant problem in any DCS server that is not cold war.
Interesting that Redfor has English default DCS AWACS?
Can we get that on the CW server? The Russian BRAA calls are terrible, especially in VR. (really wish ED would make this player toggle-able, I mean, among so many other things...)

God I love the r27T
Yeah it's a pretty sweet missile that allows for some sneaky shots.
😡🐦 HYPE!

Wait, you have a fox 1 server?
This is not my server, it's a community server ran by the F&F community
What’s the name of the server
