DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer - Laser Guided Rockets
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 08. 2024
- In this DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer video, we’ll look at the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, or APKWS laser-guided rocket. The APKWS consists of either M151 or M282 2.75-inch rocket mated with a laser guidance kit.
Based on a laser- designation from your targeting pod our an offboard laser-designation source, the APKWS, also referred to as the AGR-20A, can have pinpoint accuracy on targets out to around 5 miles.
The M151 version has a high explosive warhead and the M282 version has a penetrator warhead. Both versions are ideal against unarmored and lightly armored targets. However, the AGR-20A is not designed to defeat tank armor.
Seven APKWS rockets are carried in each LAU-131 rocket pod.
The new FM is amazing. Stable at high g turns.
Yes. Beautiful improvement!
can really notice the a10 performance change
glad you did some serious turns
Huge thanks for all who helped implement this improvement!
These rockets look like so much fun! Can't wait to take out a column of BMP's from 8k.
@@jeff86ing but you'll only reach speeds of ~ 30 FPS (feet per second)
@@jeff86ing Can dcs even run at 8k. I'm curious now.
@@generic_4938 As in there being a native setting? Unsure.
As with even close to playable FPS? most certainly not.
@@jeff86ing i think he means 8 click
The new A-10 cockpit looks awesome. I was watching some real footage of the GAU in action and noticed it shook the bloody hell out of the plane.
@@CakePrincessCelestia the exact video I was talking about!
The compass is jittering while firing 😂
This is the one weapon I've been waiting for. So many precision weapons can be carried now!
Relationship status with Vikhr after watching this video changed to : It's complicated.
Nice showcase of the FM, and the weapon! I do hope, Wags, down that development road, we see more realistic explosions, and also more realistic behavior from AI infantry and vehicles, who, after seeing a team mate take one, take a leaf out of the Lord Denethor book of responses to terror, and "flee for their lives." That being said, this a/c and the new systems have come together quite pleasingly...
As much as i can understant that there is much more important things to come up first, i also cannot agree more with what you've mentioned here, actually had these same thoughts in my mind for quite a while ! I'm loving whatever ED brings to us as every update is very welcomed ! Hopefully they find the time someday to polish little things like these ;)
I already love those nasty little laser rockets :) And I am looking forward to that HMCS for the Hog!
The A10c II looks much more stable in big turns. I am so excited for this module. Thanks for the Video Matt.
Oh wow, the big turn! No need for flaps and crying anymore! Excellent!
The newest gospel from our Lord and Savior Matty Waggy: Spicy Hydras 😫
Looking forward to the new Hawg!
Finally. An occy strap over the glareshield!!
What is it there for?
@@getsideways7257 Holding maps and paperwork
@@peekaboosteam Makes sense, thanks.
Dam it... cant wait c2... checking steam every day... like 6 years kid durin' Christmas 🎄
Daaaamn! That will be the most deadly aircraft! Love it!
ive buyed it at the autumn sale and I can not believe it that im able to shoot so many laser guided Hydras at the enemy. Normally they are stupid dumbfire rockets but now they are soooo good.
Aww yeah, this is what I've been waiting for!
Imagine having a couple different buddies lazing different targets in a single area..... then one A-10 loaded with APKWS rockets yeets itself over the hill, spamming all the rockets all with a different laser code......
Devastating. Then it turns out that we usually don't have up to 7 guys lasing at the same time for even a single pod of APKWS.......
@@tommyq4654 An extremely high-priority target cluster might have a drone or two orbiting above it working with a ground recon team or armored vehicle platoon painting multiple targets with multiple lasers, but yeah, that's not going to be most targets.
@@tommyq4654 But you can only designate one laser code for one pod of APKWS
Looks awesome, can't wait to see it in action!
Nice, these type of rockets are great fun on the JF-17!
Please make the ALQ-184 Long version.
It has been requested, thanks
why waste time on something that is completely useless? ECM is not modeled
Weight and balance, aswell as drag is still different compared to the short version.
Also irl if there is an A-10 equipped with an ALQ-184 it is 90% of the time the long version.
hi there Mr. Wagner! you didn't show where to find rockets. but I did find them. thanks videos.
Ohh that's awesome ... i can see my self coming back home from a sortie with 30 kills =D
Man you guys are killing it, big thanks again.
Now THAT'S turning on a dime!
Its certainly given the 2.75inch rocket a new lease of life, and firing the HE version at a single person/group of individuals seems to make more sense than a hellfire or even a gau burst
Interesting that you can change the rocket's laser code inside the cockpit. This isn't the case on other aircraft, they're set on the rocket itself only.
Can't wait for this baby to come out.
love the upgrade price, especially since I have enough Miles saved up to virtually get it for free.
one request Matt, please can you guys put the NVG back to green for the other modules?
Man. Put it in the E-store already! Will ya?
Love ya work sir.
Thanks for sharing
👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
A-10C II FRICKEN LASERBEAMS
I think thats a good title
Great video
Can't Wait!
Does the new A10 have a visible body pilot in VR?
I like how he tried to sneak in that roll😂
Come on Wags, you're killing me.... Why does the HMCS video need to wait till the end? Lol
Because we are still working on it. Thanks
I've noticed that multiple rockets can be fired at the target and all will follow the reflected laser beam and hit the same target, which is good against bunkers or another structures. I don't know why isn't it possible with Frogfoot and Vikhr missiles, since they work basicly the same.
Hey Matt,
I noticed that they just included again the rope that goes behind the UFC, does it have any function depending on the paint one chooses or is it simply aesthetic? (in the first video of the A10C II that rope was not there)
It is/was used to secure lose items in the cockpit, but it seems like today it is more common to use a pair of flight bags that is placed on top of the dashboard.
Any chance to see some flightbags on the dashboard, Wags?
@@thesupertomtomgo "Hey, please obscure my view out of the cockpit."
@@peekaboosteam yess please!
My HOTAS is ready!
Why do you use the inventory menu instead of the profile menu to change laser codes on the new weapons?
Hi, thanks for the video. Is autolasing possible with the new munitions? BTW, the time to impact seems way off, it estimates 12s but actually takes 28s for the rocket to reach the target.
Will We perhaps get APKWS on any other aircraft like av8b or fa18c?
Wonder if double tapping tanks would be enough to kill them, will it be coming to the Falcon as well?
"...on some stations." xD
Hey Matt do you mind checking why the Autopilot on the A10a does not wor k?
Working fine here
Rafael Elias Dont work for me how do you do it?
@@diwashbharati9914 just press the autopilot button, make sure your stick is centered
how manoeuvrable are the rockets for moving targets?
Sad to see still no correct ALQ-184 Long version that is actively used by the USAF, unlike the shorty
It has been requested and we will see it later in development. thanks
Does the Coolie and HOTAS Slew do the same task?
How off center can you be to fire them and have them still hit?
How to recage TGP to TVV after fire the APKWS ?
Press the TGP STBY OSB. Thanks
Why is there a rope holding on the instruments ? it looks like a diy cockpit lol
So let me get this straight, if you come up on an enemy encampment full of vehicles and soft targets, spend some time in the TGP setting up a ton of markpoints. Could you go to the first target, fire off like 8 rockets with a good interval between (7 seconds?), then as soon as the first rocket hits you select markpoint 2, designate, the laser moves to that target and the rocket hits that one, markpoint 3, designate...and so on and so forth?
@@PatrickRatman 100% I was only imagining trying something like this on a very densely packed vehicle target rich area where you may have a ton of enemies very close together within say 100ft, more or less on a horizontal or linear plane..hmmmmm
15'th
hype
My A10C and C2 Tank Killer does not have the APKWS Rockets as an option. Is this an extra mod?
Please check under missiles.
@@MattWagner Thank you sir
Dat FPS... What kind of rid do you need to be that smooth?
Will the new hawg include comm page?
where is the new black shark please
These rockets available on the hornet or viper yet?
Hi Matt, considering the fact that we’re getting APKWS for Warthog II does that mean it’ll be coming to other modules that support Hydra rockets? I know that the USMC have trained, and are rated for, using APKWS on their Hornets.
No, that would not be accurate for the year of our Hornet. Thanks
Thanks Matt
are those rockets effective against moving targets ?
When will the A-10C II be released? Imma buy that immediately. I'm a current owner of the A-10C and can't wait for an upgrade.
30 Sept 2020
Is there a release date yet ??
yeah!
Will these rockets be available for the harrier?
How's the price for current A-10C owners on Steam work?
Just don't use the Steam version🤦♀️
In real life the laser code can only be changed on the rocket. Was the ability to change the laser code in the cockpit done for flexibility or is a newer version of the APKWS that can change the code from the cockpit IRL?
Gameplay reasons I believe..
Technically the LGB bombs (-12, -16, -24) can’t be changed on the fly either but because JTAC at the moment can’t change laser codes, they let us change it in the air for that reason.
Yeah all the fusing, laser codes, and other things that physically have to be changed on munitions are done in the dsms inv pages in dcs.
Phoenix591 currently the F-16 GBU-12/10 codes can only be changed in the ME
Since I'm not the taxpayer it won't completely replace my Mavericks, but 21 on one station... thats going to be pretty effective against the Zeus if nothing else.
When?
Yes
will we get the apkws for the hornet ???
@@PatrickRatman maybe will see, it would be awesome if razban implement them also for the harrier
the update still not out yet on Steam?
I'm having lots of fun with the new laser rockets, HMCS, and new turn ability. One issue, in a "gimbal roll" situation with the original Hawg, I would do a "China Hat Aft Short" to recenter the gimbal. Now that switches the tgt pod to "Laser Search". Outside of switching the tgt pod to "standby" then back to "A2G", is there a quick way to reset
ecenter\unroll the gimbal?
Also, I was flying the "Hard Quickstart" in VR and it starts you at dusk. As the light fades outside, my right eyeball begins to see the cockpit with a green "night vision" glow while my left eye does not. This causes discomfort at first, followed by pain as it gets darker out. It is terrible! I've noticed that fires on enemy planes have different intensities between eyes in VR and other general issues between eyes with lighting and effects. The clouds in VR are terrible. They have little blobs that roll with your head when close to the clouds, it looks bad. They also "chunk" in a and out of existence at different ranges and angles off-center of your vision, different clouds between eyes. They also need to be fixed ASAP.
Finally, white-hot or black-hot IR on the tgt pod has crazy contrast swings that black out\white out the picture if a little smoke comes into view of the tgt pod, even just a little at the edge when zoomed all the way out.
You should probably adjust the quickstart to hide these bugs (change the time of day, remove clouds, and remove all the fires\smoke) until they are fixed, just something about showcasing all of your bugs to the beginners jumping into the quickstart seems like a bad idea.
Overall it was definitely worth the $10 though, and these bugs will be fixed quickly right Wags?
You probably found the answer elsewhere, anyway - check the right MFD, press the top right button. That will do the trick. ;-)
@@petrwitt4585 yes that was added recently, presumably due to complaints like mine.
Cars driving by the burning and exploding military vehicles. Guess the drivers are thinking that there is nothing to see here. Stuff blows up all the time in DCS!
Just some peaceful protest going on....
Is the camera image in the right monitor coming through a satellite or something?
Targeting Pod
Matt Wagner Oh, nice. I read all about targeting pods now. All new device for me. Thanks for this.
Welcome to the Great A-10 Turkey Shoot.
Will the A-10C II be a preorder, or will it simply come out at some point?
@@CakePrincessCelestia Thanks. Really looking forward to it. The A-10C has been in need of a major update for some time.
Antares if you currently have the dcs a10 you can upgrade for 9.99USD, If you are first now buying it now it will be 79.99USD. Only discount for upgrade version.
@@higaluto Thanks. Yes, I heard about that. I already have the original A-10C, so I will save a lot by upgrading.
forgive my stupid question but what's the difference between a rocket and a missile?
about 13,000 to $110,000, depending on variant :)
Rockets a generally unguided, missiles are guided. In this case of course we have guided rockets. :)
It used to be that rockets were unguided and missiles were guided. Obviously these are guided rockets so essentially missiles, but lets throw it on size then. APKWS is too small to be called a proper missile ;)
the only reason they are called guided rockets is because they are retrofitted rockets with seeker heads and fins
Jeff did it first wooooo! lol
Isn’t guided rocket actually a missile?
Does a BMP really count as a lightly armored target?
Yes
Matt Wagner Will it kill it from every angle or does it need to be from the side or back/on top?
How many are needed to destroy an MBT when you hit it on the side or back?
Will it ever come to the F-16?
That would not be accurate for the time period of the Viper we are simulating. Thanks.
Does anyone know where he's flying? I guess it is syria map. But does someone know where it is?
Persian Gulf Map
Matt Wagner thank you Matt. I never saw that area so far I guess but I like it.
add subtitle button please
I am...DEEPLY confused.
Laser guided.
ROCKETS.
Like........wut.
Now it could have been APWS but thats lame
ED pls gib A-10B N/AW
Hi, I`m a big fan of DCS, but why dont they make F-35?
Shut Up and Take My Money!
gib
This plane became the IMBA.
Imagine being the JTAC, seeing an A-10 launch these rockets from 8K feet, and then the enemy takes off running as giggle with your laser in hand.
Then this music miraculously plays:

On a serious note, these are awesome. Like mini Mavericks....and you can carry ALOT of’em
