- The second video. This covers some basic codewords you are likely to hear when playing multiplayer. After the intro they start about 1.5 mins in.
The list is nowhere near complete, these are just some of the more common ones.
If there are any questions relating to the codewords please ask, I’ll have an answer. (I am a retired RAF Fighter control instructor).
Thanks for stopping by, see you in the skies

Here's the covert special-ops code word strictly Classified:
1. Up up and away = I am airborne
2. Can you hear me, over? = Is my mic working? (over = I am not a noob!)
3. Wiggle, wiggle = Oh my stick is squeaking, I hate that
4. What's beeping? = Missile lock on me
5. Errrrrrrr = Thinking what to say (sounds pro also)
6. Bogie, Bandit, Baddie, Plane = Stuff to shoot
7. Why ya gotta kill me again? = Need to learn the Launch Missile Override to cause enemy defensive and other stuff
8. Cranking = Roll 90degrees and pull hard on your stick
9. Notching = Cranking one way then another way lots to make Missiles take longer to kill you
10. I quit = I'll be back!
Tumbleweed is super useful , it means you have ZERO Situational Awareness
For a guy just starting out, your video quality and content is superb. Might see you in the skies soon!
wanna fly together? im new myself.
Although I knew most of them, that is a perfect summary of the really most important ones. Great video!
Best add-on for DCS: dishwasher appliance :)
...just got to the "shrill whine" bit... :-D
Nice refresher for us old salts who have been out of the DCS pit for a bit and have returned. Cheers!
Thanks a lot, this is a great summary in one place!
Excellent work TP, I am looking forward to your future videos. Subscribed
Thank you very much!
Thanks for another informative vid mate. Nice to hear someone who knows their subject matter, and presents it so well. It's handy for us noobs! Cheers, looking forward to your next production.
Thank you very much
Thanks, I am planning to get into DCS soon and this is really useful.
You should, it’s a fantastic Sim with a great community
I just got DCS World and currently have the A-10C. I’ve been training and getting acceptable at landing. However, I would love some ppl from DCS World to be able to drop some knowledge on me when it comes to multiplayer. Do you guys have a community Discord server?
@@sschreck looking for buddies. newb player here.
@@sschreck left you a message
Thanks for your vids, some things i didnt know. so keep up the good work!
Thank you
Pascale. Thank you for this. A nice addition would be a downloadable pdf list.
Or just a list in the video description
So glad you've created this channel! I saw Juice da AV8R mention on his channel that you had a discord server but I found these videos instead
Welcome to the channel and come and join the discord too!
Hey feel free to drop into our Discord discord.gg/8tWNuK!
EXTREMELY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!
Ty, and ty for your service
As usual perfect, thank you sir, Cyrano out.
This is a really helpful video, I think one of the things that puts me off using comms is sounding stupid using the wrong codes.
You should consider doing a video on GCI/AWACS comms.
I certainly will, thanks for the suggestion.
Super helpful pal!
Good stuff! Keep it up
Yeah I'd like to one day get back into radio comms since I spent several years and thousands of hours in Arma sim squads, but when I'm playing is in the evening and I have kids. I haven't been able to do radio comms in a long time unfortunately. I can receive radio, and type back. Because of this I've generally avoided most multiplayer in games these days. You're making me want to hop onto multiplayer though lol
Listening to the comms will give you a great deal of situational awareness, I know the feeling regarding “being quiet” luckily my kids are a bit older now.
Best educational videos about topics rarely explained this well and simple.....thank you sir.
Thanks for watching it.
Awesome videos. Please please do a video on BULLSEYE and any tips on how to easily interpret those calls. Keep up the great videos. Just sub'ed. :)
There should be one on that very soon.
Nice video! It's worth mentioning also Bingo, Winchester and maybe Joker. Even though it's not that used in the DCS enviroment
100%, i'll be covering pitbull and raygun too.
@@TacticalPascale But then when you go online and you say proper brevity people will be too confused to even answer :D
I will be creating a few videos on code words and what they mean. People can choose to use them or just get an understanding if they hear them said online.
Yeah, "Winchester" is an important one, it's missused by 95% of people. It actually means you have NO MUNITIONS left, including bullets, and not just that you've ran out of bombs/missiles or rockets.
Hey man, congrats on an amazing video. I think it is quite nice that you were able to kept it this condensed, as there is a lot more jargon in this area, so kudos :)
I was wondering why you forewent putting in "Bogey Dope" or perhaps I just missed it, but I would argue its importance would warrant a spotlight for beginners.
If you feel like it we could also use your input on the Hoggit wiki (brevity list), over at wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Brevity_List
I’ll have a look. I over looked bogey dope tbh, my error.
@@TacticalPascale Speaking of Bogey Dope, what is the difference between that and Picture? It seems like whichever one I ask the AI AWACS, they always just list all enemy contacts.
@@jwilder47 Bogey Dope is a request for BRAA. Picture is request for Bullseye.
Hello, very nice video!!!
I am not an native english speaker and I would love to see a video with this in a more deep way. What to say when taxi, starting up, taking off, in flight, coordenate with wingman, landing, target ID and those kind of stuffs. To someone who was born speaking english or who was a pilot IRL looks like a simple task bau at least for me is a big challenge yet.
Thank you very much!
Thank you first of all for sharing this. I was wondering, can you share a bit more about transponder codes and IFF in military, if there's a correlation eventually?
I'm doing my first steps as a DCS GCI and I wasn't able to find much information about it. Thanks a lot sir, cheers!
All aircraft under control are to squawk, there are certain features available to military aircraft for further ID.
@@TacticalPascale squawk flash for ident...see your PARROT SHINING
The terminology is “Squawk ident” - after you see it, you simply say “contact”.
I see Hornet i Upvote!
Also : clear and concise for a fresh stater.
Mission Complete!
Thanks !
I’ll be getting started in DCS next month. Thx for the help.
Sub 116 out 👍🏻
You’ll have a great time.
love it
LOL "Like my wife, when I should be doing the dishes instead of playing DCS"
thanks a lot
Thanks for the video. I've been consuming DCS videos at a cyclic rate as I get ready to buy a computer and get online. A lot of the code words I knew, but some, like "nails" and "spike", escaped me. Thanks. What about "turning hot/cold"?
Turning hot / cold are used by frienlis in Combat Air Patrol.
Is there a place I can find different load out calls?
Super Thank you
you’re Welcome 😊
Tactical Pascale, I realise you’re a recent GCI but any chance you could do a WWII style set of codewords? They’d be simpler (no missiles for starts :) but would be good to be authentic for that era too when doing GCI.
The GCI back then was very, very basic. It consisted of BRAA and vectors for intercept. They didn’t have accurate height data. Chain home High and Low were very limited. To be realistic give BRAA and vectors for cutoff. That’s it.
Great quality. I'm not hearing you say it but in other vids where did the FOR in the call "BRAA 180 "FOR" 15 28000 HOT" come from? Is that USAF? The cleanest way I have always heard is BRAA One Eight Zero, Fifteen, twenty eight thousand, HOT. The "FOR" is extra.
The “FOR and HOT” are spurious comm. unless you say flank, beam or drag it’s assumed hot.
“Eagle, BRAA, two, four five, twenty five, sixteen thousand, Bandit, identify”
Callsign of the fighter is Eagle in the above example.
@@TacticalPascale So are HOT and COLD aren't part of the fill ins. Extra verbage is all?
Hot is never required. Cold is an aspect, if it goes hot and then turns away again “drag” is used.
Great video it really helped. I was wondering however if you could make a video on brevity from the controllers perspective. I’ve just started controlling in DCS and it would be super helpful to get information on that.
As an F-18 player, I thought that "buddy spike" meant "fire everything at locked target"? (/s)
Onr thing this video is missing besides one only exception is examples of how actually used are these words so to make the video not something to be prepared to listen only bit something that prepares to send traffic too
So spike means that the enemy has a lock or already shoot at you? Ok thats confusing. I hear that often in the singleplayer and the call comes every time a air-supported radar shows up on the RWR, no matter in which mode his beam hits me.
I've used it in that way quite a long time but i guess DCS modeled that wrong as you are a trained GCI like i've seen in another video.
BTW you guys are brits, don't you? I think about to join your discord soon but would not if you're in the USA because it makes no sense when you are always fly when i sleep.
When the aircraft radar detects you but doesn’t lock on its “Nails”. Regarding time zones, we have players from all over the world, quite a few eastern seaboard, lots of Europeans and Middle East.
pew pew pew
I hear a lot of people saying: "Winchester" when they run out of missiles/bombs/rockets, but my understanding is that you only say "Winchester", when you have absolutely NOTHING LEFT to shoot, including bullets! (Source: "Apache" by Ed Macy).
Yes nothing left, all weapons gone. Nevada and Arizona are also used
@@TacticalPascale 95% of people say "Winchester" when they run out of Spamraam 😑
Yup, they should say “skosh”
3:25 lol lol
Squelch oil?
?
3:28 ROFL
I would like to add raygun
There are a lot that I didn’t include to try and keep it fairly simple, but yes, Raygun is a good one to know online.
