DCS F-4E Phantom Cold War SEAD Tutorial | The Lost Art of Flak Suppression!

- Hey guys! Today's video is all about Flak Suppression, a mission type and tasking for tactical fighter aircraft that has been lost of the annals of history as war fighting in the skies has changed and evolved over the years. Flak Suppression as a doctrine and tactic was developed by the US Navy, Marine Corps, and US Army Air Forces in the Pacific Theatre of World War 2 where aircraft were forces to fight at lower altitudes over geographically isolated targets. We will explore how these tactics changed and evolved from World War Two to the Korean War, and into the Vietnam War where these initial Flak Suppression Tactics evolved into what we now know as Wild Weasels, Iron Hand, and Modern SEAD and DEAD Tactics.
This Video Will also cover how to set up flak suppression in the Mission Editor via Triggers, as well as go over how to fly a Flak Suppression Mission in the cockpit employing both Unguided Rockets from LAU-3 Rocket Pods, and CBU-52 Cluster Bombs!

DCS F-4E Phantom Cold War SEAD | The Lost Art of Flak Suppression! - Hry
Hey guys! if there are any other aspects of flying in the Vietnam Era in DCS you would like me to cover please let me know down below! You guys rock!
Just a quick reminder that Flags can also be assigned as variable names. So instead of using "100" for a Flag you could name the Flag "flakon" or "flakoff." This makes flags human readable and much easier to keep track of when the missions have multiple triggers.
Valid points thanks man!
@@Spudknocker Thank you for the video! This is the kind of content I love seeing. The F-4 especially, trying to create scenarios that are appropriate to its abilities, can be a little tough. This has given me some good ideas.
Heck yeah, love this stuff. Just please please give us a Vietnam map and a F-105. Wild weasel and flack suppression with thuds would be incredible.
A Vietnam Map would be amazing!
Really enjoy the fact that you are giving us the history behind these tactics. Thank you for the great and informative videos!
I’d enjoy watching an alpha strike of F-4s to take out a big bridge (Than Hoa…or whatever it’s called). Both the Navy and USAF were tasked with taking out these bridges several times. Lots of SAMS and AAA requiring A-4s to do Iron Hand missions and some F-4s to provide flak suppression (and another F-4 CAP flight) F-4s attacking the bridge could use either the GBU-8 TV bomb or the GBU-10
Thanks Spud, really appreciate your work here.
No Problem!
Hey Spud
Have you read the book "Eject! Eject" by John Nichole? While the book is not about flak suppression, it offers some great stories about pilots ejecting and surviving in Vietnam and other conflicts, too. It also has great stories about the history of the ejection seat. I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it.
I have! If you're interested in that subject I suggest looking up the "Yankee Extraction System" in the AD Skyraider!
@@Spudknocker Will do!
Awesome VidMan. I'm going to go look and see if you've got a wild weasel one
Can you do a Tutorial vid about sead on a SA-6 in the yom kippor war?
Sounds Like a Good idea to me!
Seems cool spudknocker
Gracias Spud!
Hm, this is a good idea. May have to add something to my script library to do this.
Awesome video
I would like to see the A4 as an official craft, also the f105 and a vietnam map
Can you connect those barriers around each battery with the unit so you can just copy them or do you have to place every one of them on your own?
Good idea I will check!
so you say "seed" and "dee-ad"? why the inconsistency? why not "seed" and "deed"? when I first started the computer combat flight sims, the manual for the f/a 18 hornet written by a marine jock, stressed the see-ad pronunciation. that goes hand in hand with dee-ad so you don't say that more ominous pronunciation of d-e-a-d.
