I’m still trying to figure out why Eagle Dynamics hasn’t hired you yet. This is an absolute work of art!!! All of the emotions captured…simply awe inspiring.
Wow, this is one of the best DCS movies I've ever seen. I love the effects too, spot on, and great choice of music too. Imagine if we had all these assets and modules in DCS, not just as unofficial mods. It would be an epic Vietnam era simulator.
@@simonhouel1984 i actually prefer modders work sometimes more than developers look at arma III for instance some of the original content that later came out as dlc/assets were better as a mods
Well, once again you've shown that your channel name was cut short. As always that was completely Phenomenal. And an amazing depiction of what must've been a horrific time and place to be.
@@JamesGill83 The Phenom in this channel name is taken from my old AMD CPU, the Phenom II X6 1090T. It was not until later that I learned the meaning of the word.
I don't know and can't imagine how you do this. Showing history in DCS. Many feelings and emotions here. Hope mankind never ever have to live those horrific days. They should never be forgotten, too. Amazing.
I Congratulate you and everyone that flew in this Production. I am Thankful to see 2 of my liveries used in this film. What a Personal Honor I feel to have made a few Items for DCS Partons that are worthy to bring some value for Fun in DCS that could be used in this way. My Thanks to you for my Thrill to see them in your Wonderful creation. Even if it were without them your Film is just breathtaking.
Whole video was amazing, but the end was definitely the best. As the son of south Vietnamese refugees it touched me in a way I didn't expect from a DCS cinematic lol.
My dad fought at Khe Sahn. He recently passed. Even though that war screwed him up, I think he would have liked this video. We talked a lot about video games. I always hoped someone would develop an open world, sandbox video game centered on the Vietnam conflict. Excellent video.
I personally knew someone who worked on the HMAS Perth, a missile destroyer that served in Vietnam. His name was Clive and served two tours on the HMAS Perth. Sadly he died in 2016 from old age.
Wow, you nailed it, the best Vietnam era cinematic in DCS ever, the Coppola would have proud on you :) i am serious, I watched it 3 times in a row, how did you even took those soldier shot in huey ! Amazing job
Man this is so well edited and extremely creative. Amazing. Especially towards the end some of those night shots and slow-mo CBUs blowing up. I'd love to see more.
Awesome video, Amigo.my oldest brother was a Vietnam Navy vet, I love Sabbath, but i can tell you, most of those boys were listening to Blues, Johnny Cash, or Merle Haggard...or Sinatra. Keep it up! just getting started in DCS myself. Plan to run my own server, when I learn a few planes. Bought a crazy gaming PC, waiting on my HOTAS to arrive. See you in the sky!
3:40 - the planes and terrain are superb - as is usual in flight sims, the human depictions are Uncanny Valley creepy as hell! look at those department store mannequins firing the artillery! LOL love it
Best Vietnam War Cinematic video music and video go well together . I come to see this several times a day awesome watching this makes me want to play the DCS.
Wow. Just wow. Brought chills. This is by far the best DCS cinematic I have ever seen-looks like this was truly a labour of love. Keep up the excellent work my friend.
Vietnam was a horrible war, I respect all the veterans and RIP to the fallen soldiers, but you have to admit that some of the best music came out during the war
That was excellent! Seeing that F100 pulling a little Iron Hand duty right through the AAA was pretty sweet! About the only thing I didn't see that I was hoping I would was some F-105 Thunder Chiefs. But those will probably never make it into DCS even as a mod. Again masterful work!
I grew up in the early '80s, those slow motion bomb drops and missiles coming off the pylon grab me right by the deep memories. Seeing Sparrows come off the rail, or retarded (really, that's what they're called) bombs being dropped in a line on a village in slow mo is like watching the Knowledge Network all over again. Saturdays on channel 4, right after Looney Toons ended. Welcome to Canada, we put the war on television and gave you college credits for it! Hell, I still own the textbook. I was too young to apply for the credits at the time. Dad was "in country" for some of it, though... Nothing weirder than watching TV and having your father say "and I was one of the techs in those trucks..." And then the napalm drop. It's like you wanted to hit all the high points :P
This is amazing! I love Paranoid and Have You Ever Seen The Rain. Also, you have probably the best mix for "montage" and "story" I've seen on this platform! I can't believe you turn a dogfighting game into like... An RPG of sorts. Awesome!
Well done! I especially liked your transition using LBJ's speech and the use of ground as well as air for a complete roll! I hope the TWS guys get you to do a video for them when its ready.
Realy great. Fantastic editing and displaying the horrors of that place. Combine that with a sauce of great music and a receipt for a great clip is born.
Excellent work, emotive and absorbing. A refreshing change from listening to Vietnam era music played with the usual old film clips. There's nothing wrong with those old stock images, but they are re-used an awful lot.
The AA guns outside hunting the Iranian drones launched at us by the russians give this masterpiece a whole new dimension of immersion. Kudos to the creator. Liked and subscribed.
attention all war simulations.... please tone down the fire. I know "more" is supposed to be "more", but every single flame burns brighter than the Sun. Some fires are lower heat from wood and wreckage, other fires are the focused plumes of rocket motors. Not all explosions are nuclear.... look at the door gunner scene at 6:33, the background fires look like an airport was attacked and the POL tanks are burning. Even then there would be tons of smoke obscuring the fires. Please give us an option to tone down fire brightness .
Wow. That was exciting from start to finish! Very well done to you once again we’re treated to this work of art you master and fire straight at us. The colours, the music, the editing all showcasing the content in one little daydream moment that has to be seen to be believed. You’re hard work has paid off.
Can't wait to see what creators can come up with in maybe 5 or 6 years, when we (hopefully) have an actual Vietnam map, along with the F-4, F-8, F-100, A-1, and possibly a MiG-17, A-7 and A-6, plus a MiG-21 2.0.
No Republic F-105D, F or G Thunderchief!?? 😔😔😔 That awesome aircraft flew more missions and suffered more losses than any other aircraft during the Vietnam war.
The Vietnam War by far had the best fucking soundtrack. Being a kid in the 80s watching something like this was what made me want to go to War thinking it was cool and couldn't wait till I got old enough. Now as an fart with some combat experience, some time in jungles (traveling), and meeting real Nam vets, I would love to go back in time and smack myself upside the head to explain that these clips are WAY different than being on the ground living that actual thing...😬... by the way that CCR song would have been better with helos going back to base or a medivac. Like an after battle song. Of course "Fortunate Son" would have been perfect "Run Through The Jungle". Great job though 👍
Such fantastic music, I think Jefferson Airplane is underused nowadays. I don't know how to make videos on earlier wars because the music is so bad. Iraq and Afghanistan also have good soundtracks, and an enormous amount of music to choose from. Cheers 👍
*Before you make any comments, please understand that this video is fiction. If you want to discuss the real Vietnam War, please do so elsewhere.*
Keep up the good work!
It’s not fictional when it’s actual footage 🤷🏼♂️😁😁🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀😆😆😆😅 just playing with you haha
@@canadiannavy9229 I don't understand what you are saying.
What I am saying is that we should not view games and reality as the same thing.
@@Phenom2266 I was just joking
@@Phenom2266 and I understand you
I’m still trying to figure out why Eagle Dynamics hasn’t hired you yet. This is an absolute work of art!!! All of the emotions captured…simply awe inspiring.
Because then they would have to make an actual game with a dynamic campaign, that's why!
@@whammo11224 100%
On my side I still did not figured out why we do not have a vietnam map yet. Could you imagine how POPULAR that map would be.
@@steph4050 Totally agree... South East Asia is kind of a no-brainer.
@@steph4050 even better mega map with vietnam and korea (both cold war)
Wow, this is one of the best DCS movies I've ever seen. I love the effects too, spot on, and great choice of music too. Imagine if we had all these assets and modules in DCS, not just as unofficial mods. It would be an epic Vietnam era simulator.
A new Reflected Simulations campaign is confirmed !!
;-p

Showing history in DCS.
Many feelings and emotions here.
Hope mankind never ever have to live those horrific days. They should never be forgotten, too.
Amazing.
Nothing makes me more excited for the Phantom, Hercules, and A6 modules than this. Great job.
Can’t wait for the A6!!
I watched this with a Nam vet. He was mesmerized. He said that it looked really close to what he saw...Then he got real quiet for a while.
Watching this and recognizing that a ton of the shots come from actal footage is amazing. Attention to detail is impressiver nice work.
This touched all my emotions, the fear, the badass ground attacks and the horrors of war. Loved the cocktail that was served here!
I Congratulate you and everyone that flew in this Production. I am Thankful to see 2 of my liveries used in this film.

Your Huey skins are great. Loved it at first sight!
@@Phenom2266 Your movie Shocked me the Scope and size of the battle scenes blow your mind it's so overwhelming.
One of my favorite DCS videos ever! Well done!
Whole video was amazing, but the end was definitely the best. As the son of south Vietnamese refugees it touched me in a way I didn't expect from a DCS cinematic lol.
Unreal. Especially blown away by the recreation of iconic footage such as the slowed-down nape drop seen from the release airplane. Kudos.
1:19 wow a POV of a copter falling out of the sky, intense man
As a Vietnamese, I think this is the best Vietnam War DCS Video I've seen
As an Australian with a Vietnamese wife and half Vietnamese Son, I think this is the best Vietnam War DCS Video I've seen
I'm amazed how many real shots from combat footage you were able to recreate!
A flight of Navy Intruders with Ozzy playing in the background.......badassery
My dad fought at Khe Sahn.
He recently passed.
Even though that war screwed him up, I think he would have liked this video.
We talked a lot about video games. I always hoped someone would develop an open world, sandbox video game centered on the Vietnam conflict.
Excellent video.
Can’t wait for the A-6 and A-7. They will be so much fun. Especially the A-6 with multi-crew and twenty-eight Mk82s.
😍 love the drumstick of death!🍗
I totally wasn't expecting the SR-71 part, loved it.
6:41 is a full metal jacket reference, noice
Hell yeah! Cinematography + Sound Design ON POINT!
Tyűha! Ez igen komoly meló lehetett! (Egy kicsit hiányolom a vietnámi oldalt... na de nem kukacoskodok.)
I personally knew someone who worked on the HMAS Perth, a missile destroyer that served in Vietnam. His name was Clive and served two tours on the HMAS Perth. Sadly he died in 2016 from old age.
3:32 There is no doubt about why the F-5E tiger II was so amazing in vietnam, besides he could have shoot down that Mig-15 easly with a Missile.
I just arrived HCMC (Saigon) in Vietnam for X'mas holiday and I saw this video. It's all peaceful now when I look outside of my hotel window.
Wow, you nailed it, the best Vietnam era cinematic in DCS ever, the Coppola would have proud on you :) i am serious, I watched it 3 times in a row, how did you even took those soldier shot in huey ! Amazing job

Phenom means quality. Chapeau.
Great work Dude and the music from that era is second to none, there's something about the music of the 60's that simply captures.
cinematics should leave you feeling better than you did before you watched them.
that is what this does. an amazing job has been done here great work
It's was the best vietnam war game movies that i have met
Sono iscritto a questo canale da un po' di tempo e credo fortemente che i tuoi video siano un qualcosa di spettacolare 😉💪🏻🤩
The color grading is just perfect! I like watching authentic vietnam era footage
MACV-SOG Tunnel Rats & USMC saw the most intense combat Ops after WW2!
I love how you recreate real clips. the one with the F-105s is really well done
Сделано прям на вышем уровне. Вот только смотришь на это и понимаешь сколько со всех сторон людей погибло, а стоило ли оно того.
Nothing short of phenomenal. You’ve definitely secured your place in the DCS cinematically Hall of Fame. Well done.
This is incredible. Great job. I can't even imagine the scale of the work required to make this... So many mods and so much hard work. Bravo!
Best Vietnam War Cinematic video music and video go well together .
I come to see this several times a day awesome
watching this makes me want to play the DCS.
The best DC'S movie I've seen so far... Congratulations on the excellent work.
Absolutely brilliant! DCS NEEDS to populate the Vietnam War Era with great modules and maps, this video is proof of that.
That was one of the best DCS Cinematics I have ever seen !!! Amazing Video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow. Just wow. Brought chills. This is by far the best DCS cinematic I have ever seen-looks like this was truly a labour of love. Keep up the excellent work my friend.
This was very well done and really captures the spirit of that conflict.
The freakin BEST Vietnam DCS video ever man! Mind blowing! Salute sir.

Ah, 25 minutes ago, honestly another great video to add to my video collection.
Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it!
Keep it up!
Amazing cinematography! Absolutely love the songs you have picked as well!
Those slow-mo shots of bombs falling. You've seen that film, haven't you? All that's missing is some huts and shockwaves in wet air.
This is one of the best DCS Vietnam TH-cam things I ever seen
very rarely these days do see a dcs movie that's not just slow-mo pass by missiles shots or reused angles. Bu this was really well done in my opinion
this is fking impressive when its only u who did it all. great job man. this far FROM GREAT, ITS BEYOND EM ALL
This is amazing! I love Paranoid and Have You Ever Seen The Rain. Also, you have probably the best mix for "montage" and "story" I've seen on this platform! I can't believe you turn a dogfighting game into like... An RPG of sorts. Awesome!
Amazing work as always! Well done guys!
This is one of the few good videos I've seen of this style and it's beautiful
Oh my, those Intruders are beautiful 😍
Would love to see them as full fidelity modules

Dude that was incredible. Great work!
Aaaaand another master piece! Awesome 😎
I'm glad you didn't forget the fact that the blackbird was also doing operations in Vietnam too
one of the best cinematics I ever seen
Phenomenal! Love the details like the F-4 cat bridal and the cows!!
The best films about vietnam war are compilated in this video. The hollywood producers could be pride of your great job. Thanks!!
That speech at the beginning of section 3 is inspiring and bone chilling at the same time.
Enjoyed that a lot. Using DCS and dabbling in video creation, I appreciate how much work your video took
Awesome job! love some of those shot! love the vibe
Tremendous work! Great production and cinematography!
Amazing work Phenom
This is actually really quality work you've done. I didn't know that the f104 was used in Vietnam
I watched this video on VR and I must say you did a phenomenal job… it felt so real 💯🔥

Another fabulous piece - we done!
Top video mate well done 🪖
Not only the visual is fantastic but sound track kicks ass.
Finally decided to watch this because I watched the desert storm one like 9000 times and, what a shock, it's also excellent.
