What I loved about this vid was that you started explaining some of the aircraft systems in more detail during the engagement as they came up. Love that style. maybe try to incorporate that more into future vids, like mentioning each system and how/what are you using it for.
I've definitely seen the flanker datalink display missiles as very fast contacts. I don't know exactly why but it does happen, probably because the AWACS can pick up the missile and sends that to DL if I had to guess. I've never had it happen in a mission without AWACS.
Agreed Sir . They Tie First . Especially the 2 seat flanker. That time when a plane just looks ....mmm.... sensational! I love the SU34 fullback as well... a dirty fetish 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just got myself a HOTAS and started flying Flankers right from the get go. This is an amazing guide. Thank you so much. You never fail to bring quality content.
I’m hoping to fly Flankers more, been having to focus what time I have to work on the F-18, since the squad I recently joined does missions every week.
I fly flankers frequently you want any tips as a lot of the stuff on CZcams can be difficult to understand! Although if I take a while to respond I am sorry as I have a lot of school.
@@foxhound24 That is incredibly nice of you non the less. Do you have any tips on weapon's load on high altitude against nato aircraft? Like what should i bring along to compensate with my significantly weaker radar? Thanks a lot man.
Indeed the Flanker datalink sees missiles as hostile contacts, at least the ones big enough (such as AIM-54). Also you didn't see the last bandit because you were scanning in -1 and 0 so basically level and under you, and he was above. If you scanned +1 (maybe +2) you would've seen him straight away, keep an eye on those crosswise lines on the datalink contact :)
9:30 you can figure it out by looking on your RWR, if the signal is strong, missile is first one and near by. If signal is weak and increases rapidly, it means amraam went pit bull a moment ago and it is a new one. 8:44 same think. RWR signal has just the half of strength and not changing. It means that missile is not too close to you and already has the same speed as you do, and getting slower and slower cause of the drag. So it is beaten already
Amazing fight and skills.The RU RWR reminds me something from the 60's , like Pinball lol It would be great if the missions had some unpredictability, e.g to not know how many the bandits will be.
I was aircraft technician on Su-27SM jets. It actually have 3 Multipurpose indicators (monitors) instead of one, and it's much more comfortable to use. I wonder if theres such modification in DCS.
12:02 Yes, the Datalink sees the missiles. They appear as hostile contacts with a SUPER LONG longitudinal vector (because, you know, they're missiles, so they go SUPER FAST). The datalink treats ALL missiles as hostile contacts, even missiles from friendly units. And it makes sense, because they're... well... MISSILES. They're dangerous.
Regarding the explanations of the systems onboard the aircraft: I would be really interested in a video just covering that using the SU-27 as an example.
9:32 "...but we're still alive." That statement seems to typically if not canonically increase the lethality and the probability of kill of all enemy weapons by 3000% easily...
Hey GS, I've seen a lot of missiles being recognised as hostile aircrafts on the russian datalink, they can be very confusing at times, sometimes I'd be chasing down a missile only to find out it's a missile after many attempts of trying to lock onto them which the radar cannot give you the option to lock them. The worst part of this issue is that if you happen to assume a datalink contact as a missile because they're flying high and fast, things become dangerous because one of those "missiles" started to turn around towards you, then it turns out it's either a F15 or F14😂😂
Those data link contacts were in fact the sam missiles, same thing happens with phoenixes, you can pretty much tell one one is fired by the big speed representation.
Hey Question, how is it your FOX 3s are so effective? I've seen in other videos of yours during BVR engagements, your FOX 3s (and your opponents) are often easily defended. However, in this vid, they are hitting their makes quite frequently. Is it the quality of the opponent? Or is it different when it's a 1v1? Love your work man :) Keep it coming!
Hey GS!😎👊🇺🇸 I'm going to go in and crank up my VR and watch on that format. It is so much better than a phone or a tablet. Give me just a few seconds here. And I'll go back to the beginning. Most of the newest from the F4 to the raptor, especially my f-14. That's my baby. As far as Russian aircrafts, I'm learning a lot from you with your tutelage. Deeply appreciated this way when I get in one I won't be totally ignorant or a nugget. I'm a Navy man ⚓🇺🇸⚓ Wish you many victories my friend. Aka Smokwagn
Yes the radar in the SU-33/SU-27 deos track surface to air missiles as hostile aircraft. I'm not sure if it's actually what eagle dynamics was aiming for but it's useful for SEAD in Russian aircraft, no small feat as you have to get in close with rockets but it is a good strategy to bait a launch to find the site in PVP.
Maybe idk but maybe the SAM missiles sended a signal or something to the aircraft to show that help has arrived? And maybe the su-27 thought it was a hostile
ikr when they drop their tanks and the last doesnt it iis like "thats why they got shot" or: "damn if i get hit i wanna burn really!!!!!!!" but that SAM really took on em... what a beast!
I realized very early that the data link of su27 could display missiles. I chased an AIM54 for nearly 5 minutes and was wondering what aircraft could fly so fast. I didn't realize how stupid I was until I saw the replay of Tacview.
Always a pleasure to see some of the non-NATO hardware showcased. Fingers crossed we get that teased full-fidelity MiG-29 someday! FC3 is fun but it's just not the same experience. Also really nice to see acknowledgement that Soviet/Russian fighter doctrine is designed to work alongside ground-based air-defence assets.
@@jetfighter200 Some of us actually enjoy the airmanship challenge of things like systems management, navigation and communications in addition to just shooting things.
Couple of things, you should look at signal strength when the amram is pitbull to see if it still has energy or not that way you know when to safely recommit, also you didn't see the last guy on the radar cuz your radar was pointing down -1 and you were coalt with the guy
I think the American rwr is better when it comes to determining what the primary threat actually is. Because it not only shows you where the threats are but specifically what kind of jet they are.
That pilot would probably be getting a parade when he landed. Three F-16 kills in one sortie? I'd have to assume that would be the biggest victory in Russian aviation history.
ATCO: Why are you zig-zaging just after take-off? Pilot: Just making some SID maneuvers as it published ATCO: So don`t forget to activate your transponder lol And go back if you are not RVSM-and PBN approved xD
I doubt that SAMs are equipped with IFF, so they would probably show up as hostile on the datalink due to not being identified. Also I'm really proud of myself of having become to well aquainted with datalink from watching your videos, that I could identify at a glance the two new contacts, their altitude, their high speed and their heading. If I ever get into playing DCS myself, this will give me a good head start!

Have fun with your new flanker mate, she is a fun bird to fly in the skies, albeit a challenging ones (much harder than the f16 that I fly nowadays)
Yo
It might sound weird, but these BVR videos help me sleep better. The high altitude scenery and the RWR sounds are so relaxing
You find these sounds relaxing? I guess I played too much LOMAC back in the day, but these sounds fill me with utter terror.

Great setup for the mission. And the Russian RWR info was very helpful. The Flankers equipped with modern BVR missiles are very capable.

That’s my working theory right now also, I think ur correct.
SAM sites: *launches 3 missiles*
Datalink: OH NO 4 GUYS ARE ON YOU AT MACH 6
The Flanker and Tomcat are the still the finest looking fighters ever made.

@@paulybassman7311 agreed! it looks great tbh
@@paulybassman7311just built a 1/72 su34 model, nice looking aircraft
I've built a 1/32 su27 kit . Its Awesome
having the R77 - 1 on the flanker is all it really needs to do BVR with bluefor on DCS.
makes it a su35 essentially
An updated radar and screen would also help. Something similar to the SM variant. (I know SM2 and SM3 would be too much).
Yeah but having an Ibris-E to go along with them would be magical
GS I would love some more SEAD videos with a variety of aircraft keep the uploads coming!❤

It would be cool if you could coordinate and get actual people to fly opposing bandits
Been loving these BVR/Intercept videos! Keep them going.
13:10 meanwhile whatever life form that got absolutely obliterated by that missile:

08:13 "As We Bravely Run Away... !!!" 👌😑
Very cool video, really love the variety of airframes shown in these videos. Also bonus we get to see a landing at the end ;).
Su-27 - I would like some support here!!!
Sam - You're doing GREAT! Keep it up
9:30 you can figure it out by looking on your RWR, if the signal is strong, missile is first one and near by. If signal is weak and increases rapidly, it means amraam went pit bull a moment ago and it is a new one.

unfortunately we don't have the more modern flankers in DCS but I hope one day we will.
Those colors on the Su-27 look amazing. Almost as good as the Israeli desert camo pattern.

Missiles don't have IFF i assume so it just gets sorted as hostile for everyone
Love these scenario based videos! Really awesome to watch
Impressive fight as usual. Great situational awareness
This was BEAUTIFUL! GS you magnificent Anthropomorphic Missile! This video will make a fine addition to my collection.
Loving the scenario vids! Keep up the brilliant content.
Keep it up bro!
Love the educational information 👌
Man, those last few minutes were intense!!!!! Awesome mission!!!👍🔥🔥🔥
the info about the rwr was actually really cool, i didn't know it had half of that functionality
ayy good job man, keep making these interesting videos :)
Regarding the explanations of the systems onboard the aircraft: I would be really interested in a video just covering that using the SU-27 as an example.
+10 points for channeling Sir Robin AND slipping in the reference. 😆
9:32 "...but we're still alive." That statement seems to typically if not canonically increase the lethality and the probability of kill of all enemy weapons by 3000% easily...
paint job on the flanker looks cool as hell
It was a smart move to lure the last Viper into your AA net, well done!
I love this mission type videos GS. Great stuff.
One Flanker taking on 4 Vipers really is something of a feat.
Can the opposite be done?
Ayo this is so cool, especially the SAM sites missiles appearing on the data link
Nice work in the flanker!!
Nice vid icon btw and great showcase as usual.

Excellent work, comrade Growlowsky.
"Cause if I get too high, I'll be too slow..." - nothing like blowing a joint on a combat mission.
Man, that one F16 did a sweet impersonation of a lawn dart.
Those data link contacts were in fact the sam missiles, same thing happens with phoenixes, you can pretty much tell one one is fired by the big speed representation.
yeah cool explanation of how the RWR for the SU-27 works but that seemed kinda like passive aggressive
Very interesting mission! Please more of this
yes, datalink can show SAM missiles sometimes.. and you should see SM2 how it looks like on DL.. it is loooooong line almost across whole DL :D
That is a sick ass skin on the Flanker. 🤘🏼
*B1 Battledroid voice*
There’s four of us, and only one of him-
It won’t matter.
i saw the big sam missles also often with its long line for fast travel
wow that was way too easy against f-16s. Well played sir (salute)

Loved that Monty Python reference, GS. ;)
Yes datalink display missiles sometimes. Much often with phoneixes or SAM. Sometimes even amraams
Love the winter camo scheme on the Flanker - looks straight out of WW2!
The camo pattern if not the coloration on the Su-27 reminds me of the Swedish m.90 pattern.
That's some sick camo on the flanker
Your videos are educational and entertaining.

A magnificent fight.
"Flanker" the word feels so awesome .
Thank you for video ! I love your chanel
Yes flanker data link shows missiles when you have an AWACS
The f-16s had no chance we all knew but the AMRAM did
Always amazed, when you fly, everyone dies, doesn’t matter who you are flying against.
thank you brother but I die often I assure you. sometimes you luck just runs out.
Thats Halarious that the air difference didn't shoot until the last viper lol
I think the American rwr is better when it comes to determining what the primary threat actually is. Because it not only shows you where the threats are but specifically what kind of jet they are.
This is unrelated but an f22 is going to be in an air show near me, my parents will allow me to go and I’m really excited.
I see a su27 i click
Su27: - Help -

Too fixated on chasing the Flanker then realised he's surrounded by SAMS

Also Remember that it's a 20m dollor jet vs 80m dollor het...

we need more missions, like the one where you shot down the bombers, we need more missions!!!!
Swap those F16s for Typhoons with meteors next!
Man I wish they made a clickable Su-35 Flanker in DCS. Ka-52 would be awesome as well
