The drop tanks aren't about the cost to the tax payer. It's all about shipping everything half way around the word. Everything from socks and drawers to drop tanks; engines and munitions. Absolutely everything has to be shipped.
The Data-link pod is for the Walleye and later the SLAM and SLAM-ER weapons. It's what allows communication between the weapon and the pilot. The Data-link you are referencing is the Link-16 Data-link which is an inbuilt data-link that allows the transfer of sensor data from C3 and other Link-16 donor aircraft. No pod required.
Never a dull moment when you two are in the same video... just needed an interior shot from the tower of some coffee spilling with those approach/landing shenanigans
I dont understand how GS had situational awareness better than a AWACs would, LOL- he must be scanning heavily in all directions visually, geez Good work!
Genuinely beautiful sir. Cinematography has only gotten better. Your SA has only gotten better and better. Please please have some of these moment be in a 2 Morons video in the near future. High five! 😁
Was thinking when on return to carrier, GS passed beneath you, it would've looked sick to see his POV looking up through his canopy at your underside. (He could've complimented you on your pod! 😉)
Your videos are always so cinematic! Glorious beauty shots of all the jets any time they do something interesting and a few extra just because they are awesome; I love it! Edit: The shaking screen jolt quick cuts at the end are a little harsh and jarring, otherwise, top quality as usual!
Great video! But I will say that if GS had simply used the travel pod you gave him instead of just complaining about it, you two could have wrapped this fight up a lot sooner.....lol
I’ve downloaded DCS, installed the A4 mod, installed Opentrack head tracker, reading up on the A4. I’ve been saving for months to upgrade my laptop and buy my HOTAS. HOTAS was meant to arrive today but delivery has been delayed. I can’t wait to finally begin flying in DCS
just to answer your datalink issues: the datalink pod is for the cruise missiles and i think whatever the tv guided bomb was you were getting no datalink info because you have to press datalink twice and then press on, you shouldve also been getting radar symbols if it was working.
In addition to all the other "video arcade game" sounds the F/A-18 makes, it should make the Pac Man sound when you launch a missile. It would be hilarious to hear the plane going "wokka wokka wokka wokka" as the missile is chasing down a target.
Cool video Sir! I am so happy to see GS and LS (that is short for longshot, right?) playing DCS together - my two favourite DCS players! (its GS & LS and then myselfe...and that is my DCS favourites list..lol) o7
I can't say enough. It's already been said below in the other comments. Awesome video. Do some more like these. I like the team work. PVP wingmen out class the AI wingmen.
Practice getting your sink rate figured... out at like angels 10 away from the boat on a long final. That last wave off was about to be a ramp strike! Love the new outtro!
I don’t game for sim on DCS but I live vicariously through you and GS. That said I’m not familiar with the weapon systems of the Hornet. Is it normal to have HARM on your HUD when shooting FOX 2’s? Just curious because your missiles didn’t track. Otherwise, I love your intensity bro. It adds a level of realism.
Personally I think a "decoy" is a waste. They should have at least a small warhead and a potential target to hit. Even if it's a loitering ASAM (Anti Surface to Air) system.
Are Super Hornets not modeled in DCS yet? Cause the USN doesn't fly the Charlie/Delta variants anymore. USMC does but they ain't gonna be the first on the cats to fleet defend. Just saying 🤷♂️ Still love the content tho 🤘
Take your NATO phonetics and add hit ot. (Replied earlier but it looks like it didn't post so apologies if this is the second time saying the same thing!)
I wish someone would attempt an actual MILSIM version of a real (case 1) carrier landing cycle. 800ft break, 600ft pattern altitude, genuine approach turn, and roll out on glideslope and centerline and on speed. Then fly the ball like an actual pilot. Everything I've seen amongst even the best DCS TH-camrs, is a joke. There's no such thing as a 3-mile daytime straight-in. There's no such thing as being low or off-centerline. Maybe most of your viewers don't care how you land (I get it - they want to see explosions and missiles and afterburners), but as a former Naval Aviator and LSO I could watch carrier landings all day and never get bored. Other Naval Aviators would say the same. Just for once it'd be nice if you took that portion seriously. I promise you this - no Naval Aviator would trade a good reputation around the Boat for an extra kill or success on a combat mission. Never. "Boat Cred" is everything. Please don't get me wrong - I enjoy your content and sub to both of you guys - but even though you are capable of getting aboard, from what I've seen you'd be turning un your wings immediately.
Are you running adblock? I just heard it pretty much bricks youtube, if you're running Chrome. If you are, swap to something else. I've got ublock origin. I also took time to get rid of a bunch of stuff off my computer

You guys are my favorites.
Love this video scenario.

An enemy fighter is only called a "Bandit" if they are unidentified, since you know what they are you can't call them Bandits.
Never a dull moment when you two are in the same video... just needed an interior shot from the tower of some coffee spilling with those approach/landing shenanigans
Thank you for the uploads! You always inspire to me to try and learn and play more DCS. Excited for more!!!
Thank you!
Your missiles hit the water...?
... "Splash one ocean!" 😆
Loving this kind of video, the mission was awesome and the F-18 is one of my favorites planes, the editing was like an action movie, Great work!
Really nice to hear
So cute how you boys giggle so much
you and gs make a great team alsways so intense fights and still a bit of laughter in there. great video as always
Love it when you and GS go up to clown around.
Hey, LS - esp. LOVED cockpit view where hand gripping the canopy handle vibrates like crazy during catapult launch...
...S-O-O-O-O cool! 😍👋👋👋
Good old fashioned Navy beat down. Love these carrier group videos, especially when the Dynamic Duo is handing out the whoop ass! Keep em coming!
You two are some "Sierra Hotel" jet jocks for sure! One of the highest compliments for a pilot/aviator back in the 50's-60s! 🥰
definitely sure😂
Love it when you two get together! Just fun fun fun! 👍👍
I always love watching your videos and missions. If possible, i would love to see a video featuring the YF-23!
Bro you have the coldest intro ever, I love it every time I hear it. Also F/A - 18 Hornet is waifu.
Loved the carrier trap! Freakin' HILARIOUS!
I dont understand how GS had situational awareness better than a AWACs would, LOL- he must be scanning heavily in all directions visually, geez
Good work!
When you two get together it’s always the best videos!
Sierra Hotel mission by both of you!! Love your combat missions together. Nobody Like LS and GS as a team. Priceless drama and comedy! ;D
I love seeing videos of both of you playing together since both are hilarious together
Great flying by you both! GS had some really good SA in this mission.
Genuinely beautiful sir. Cinematography has only gotten better. Your SA has only gotten better and better. Please please have some of these moment be in a 2 Morons video in the near future. High five! 😁

45 years of F/A-18 in 2023
Good thing the first couple of bandits apparently didn't know they had missiles as well. It was a fun video nonetheless!
Great video! But I will say that if GS had simply used the travel pod you gave him instead of just complaining about it, you two could have wrapped this fight up a lot sooner.....lol
"I gave you a pod so you would have more data link!" 😂😂😂❤
Lol
Love when y'all use squadrons I've worked with.
Yo!!!! The first G.S/L.S vid of the year!!!!! Both of you guys flew those F/A-18Cs like bosses!! Good shit aces!!!
Really! Sierra Hotel? Good to see you both together again! I love it.
With out a doubt you two would be awesome in real life. True Fighter jocks
Congrats on almost 80k subs! Probably will be 80K before the next 24h are over!
Cheers
I’ve downloaded DCS, installed the A4 mod, installed Opentrack head tracker, reading up on the A4. I’ve been saving for months to upgrade my laptop and buy my HOTAS.
HOTAS was meant to arrive today but delivery has been delayed.
I can’t wait to finally begin flying in DCS
Never fail to disappoint!
Could you do a vid on the A-Darter missile? 100G pull with LOAL is insanely good! Its carried by the Gripen.
just to answer your datalink issues:
the datalink pod is for the cruise missiles and i think whatever the tv guided bomb was
you were getting no datalink info because you have to press datalink twice and then press on, you shouldve also been getting radar symbols if it was working.
8:19 Are you shooting with HARMs to Sukhoi?
I lovr that lil edit you do at the end
I like the comradery. Good video!
The Duo is back, fk yeah.
In addition to all the other "video arcade game" sounds the F/A-18 makes, it should make the Pac Man sound when you launch a missile. It would be hilarious to hear the plane going "wokka wokka wokka wokka" as the missile is chasing down a target.
GHs bug looked like it was doing the humpty hump inbound to land. Then we have the bolter the one wire sea bug! Lmao!
Cool video Sir! I am so happy to see GS and LS (that is short for longshot, right?) playing DCS together - my two favourite DCS players! (its GS & LS and then myselfe...and that is my DCS favourites list..lol) o7

Awesome work, Gents!
Longshot great content 👌🏾 👏🏽 👍🏾 😊
Thank you
@@LongShotChannel Anytime.
F'n love it when you two fly together. You guys make a good team,when you're not "fighting over the same brain cell." 😅
This waa fun to watch!
Honestly better cinematics than top gun
Imagine the super hornet with f35 support.
Aim 120d, much much better radar and EW.
Ooof
Well, that got spicy in a hurry! Can expect nothing less when both LS and GS are around 👍
Practice getting your sink rate figured... out at like angels 10 away from the boat on a long final. That last wave off was about to be a ramp strike! Love the new outtro!
"2 Idiots Defending the Fleet" Love it
Epic video guys!
Amazing video!
FLANKERS WITH YELLOW WINGTIPS?
IS THAT AN ACE COMBAT REFERENCE?!?!?!
Awesome action!
Fantastic video
Best and most entertaining team on DCS ;-)
Great fun LS thanks
GS always seems to have great SA
I don’t game for sim on DCS but I live vicariously through you and GS. That said I’m not familiar with the weapon systems of the Hornet. Is it normal to have HARM on your HUD when shooting FOX 2’s? Just curious because your missiles didn’t track. Otherwise, I love your intensity bro. It adds a level of realism.
Those flanker pilots were remedial.
Beautiful.
I love your vids!
Good one!
finally u and gs are fly together again man i missed it hopefully 2 morons vid coming soon
Papa Charlie = Sierra Hotel.
Oh so much better with normal voice and jokes ✌️😁👍
Any landing you can walk away from, amirite? 😂😂
The whole thing seemed to be played on "the easy settings". You telling you fought all those flankers without getting shot down?
are you guys gonna keep doing the voice changer that makes it sound like IRl radio chatter? that stuff is cool af
Sometimes, yes
Personally I think a "decoy" is a waste. They should have at least a small warhead and a potential target to hit. Even if it's a loitering ASAM (Anti Surface to Air) system.
Another day at the office.
No whiskey deltas on this channel!
thats not how datalink pods work... they are for SLAM(ER) and walleyes used for terminal guidance
they do not "give datalink" as in link 16
Youre fun
@@LongShotChannel that wasn't a jab at you, no reason to get personal man
Mate u mostly forget to turn off your external lighs in ur missions, just to heads up😉
LS you need to breath brother, GS is all calm but you sound like you are going to pass out from lack of O2, or maybe you are just excited. LoL
Director Longshot for a short movie using DCS?
Did one, tell me what you think
@@LongShotChannel we need more of it
Are Super Hornets not modeled in DCS yet? Cause the USN doesn't fly the Charlie/Delta variants anymore. USMC does but they ain't gonna be the first on the cats to fleet defend. Just saying 🤷♂️ Still love the content tho 🤘
almost 80k subs!
Yooo
Why is it showing HARM but you're firing AMRAAMs?
Why didn’t you turn on your own datalink??
It was on
Strikfitron 83 Rampagers
im dying to know what sierra hotel means lol
Take your NATO phonetics and add hit ot. (Replied earlier but it looks like it didn't post so apologies if this is the second time saying the same thing!)
@threadfall100 thats great!! I was kinda of on the right track thinking stupid hot lol

Are these AI controlled enemies.? They are performing very good .
Yes, I believe these are bots provided by DCS. LS and GS will sometimes fight with other human opponents though
@@Stabcc They look pretty tough for bots
So bandits not have radars?Or missiles?😂😂
Is google chrome working like shit.Or is it just me?
