Surviving Enigma's Cold War Server: A-4E Multiplayer Gameplay | Digital Combat Simulator
Ойындар
Hello and welcome back to the channel. My name is Sport and in this video, I'm going to share a sortie I had on Enigma's Cold War server the other day that kept my heart pumping from the moment I entered the AO. I've found, since the Community A-4E was added, this server organically creates an insane amount of cinematic events, and moments in general that leave me feeling elated, frustrated, panicked, and satisfied.
The server had just restarted and I jumped into an open A-4E slot down in Mezzeh airfield. The plan was to fly an air interdiction mission along the south eastern edge of sector 5-13, looking for any targets of opportunity. As you can see, I am carrying the basic air interdiction loadout I suggested in my multiplayer loadouts video, however as suggested by one of my viewers, I've put the Mk83s on the center station rather than the wings, to help with any asymmetric wing loading once I drop the first bomb. I'll be sure to give my thoughts on it at the end of the video.

Thanks Enigma, and thanks for making an awesome server that makes stuff like that possible!
Your cinematography and editing are absolutely on point, I look forward to your next videos.
Would totally like to see more videos like this.
Really great stuff, it's why I love the ECW server so much! These moments are where you can let your aircraft shine, and a lot of sorties are just like that. You have a plan, you miss, you get jumped on by other players, and you get the hell out.
This was very well done! Love the external view during you flight! If only DCS replay didn't break for me in most of my vids :(
that's how it's done, baby.

Really nice video, I enjoyed it a lot.
Yes please more ! :) great Video
what a landing. more a4 please. i glad you corrected yourself about the drop
How have I just now heard of your channel?! Your A-4 content is amazing!!
nice vid. also, i'm glad the jet was added to the server. fits perfectly.
Love it. Keep em coming. Using the recorded fights for tips and lessons is great idea
Nice timing of the beat with the explosion. Cool vid all round, thanks for taking the time to share!
Just wanna say, your guides have helped me out so much:)
I loved this. Keep these going!!
Never thought the TER's added such a big inaccuracy to the drops! It's clearly visible how much the bomb yaws to the right at about the 5:18 mark. Very cool for it to be modeled in DCS, I recall hearing Gabbie on 10 Percent True talk about how he would account for that when dropping BDU-33's on training sorties. Always learning new stuff in this channel, keep it up!

I looked it up, and it’s 4.8 ft/sec ejection velocity. From 3000 feet, the bomb falls for about 6 seconds, so you’re talking 20-25 feet of error you need to account for. I bet if I go back and look at the track again, the distance I missed will be close to that!
awesome video, handy tip your doppler radar tells you the wind directio and speed, plus the drift angle is the angle you need to offset for the wind, also the ejection velocity should be accounted for in the bombing computer, plus the wing pylons will also eject the bombs
@SportDCS
Жыл бұрын
So I should have clarified more. The TERs add a horizontal component of velocity when they eject the bombs, it’s not straight down like if it’s just a single bomb on a pylon. Both bombs were dead nuts on for distance, but both landed nearly an equal distance laterally, which correlated with the side of the TER they were ejected from.

You deserve 100x the amount of subs you have. Glad I found your channel while looking for tutorials.
This video was so good that I just dropped a subscribe! Watching, first, the F-86 come out of no where and finish off the Froggie and THEN see that beautiful F-5 engage that F-1 was awesome! I look forward to more videos like this!
This is fantastic. Gripped me within 30 seconds. I'm practicing some, aiming to return to Enigma on the A-4E-C. 🙏
Whoah, I remember hearing some of these callouts live on the server. Fantastic video!
absolutely thrilled to fly this thing in ECW ive already been practicing against some of my friends in dogfights and i can say im very prepared
This style of video is awesome I hope to see more like this
Love the cinematography man! Awesome shots.
Subbed, the quality of this video is outstanding.
Great video Sport! Looking forward to the next one✌🏽
Really love these videos, please do more of them
Started flying the A4E today and your tutorials have brought me up to speed in no time great content! keep it up... by the way from 8:20 I was on the edge of my seat very cinematic!
Hey man , realy nice content! I hope to see more of it
awesome editing, great fights. Spotting A-4s is sooooooo hard especially out of the fishbed. See you on the server - slip 2-4
Wow what a great video. Cinematics where amazing.
Terrific video, great flying and very well done. Was thinking in the prologue that the Mig-21 actually accomplished his mission in that the A-4 had to jettison its weapons and abort its attack. Although I'm guessing getting killed wasn't part of the plan. Love to see more.
Criminally under rated channel. Genuinely some of the best DCS content i have ever seen, hope you get some more pop soon your editing is crazy!
Really great stuff, Sport.
Really like this video. Very well done.
Kudos for the execellent videoagraphy!

Another nice one from you Sport :) Thx Buddy
An interesting tidbit about US Navy A-4s is that most were actually not capable of employing the AIM-9. This excludes the USMC and foreign sales A-4s of course. The only USN A-4 squadron capable of firing Sidewinders was VC-10 based at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The last variant they flew was the TA-4J from 1975 until the unit disbanded in 1993. The sole reason they could carry the AIM-9 was in the unlikely event that Cuban forces attacked the base. The A-4s would be a stopgap until reinforcements and better suited aircraft arrived. Great video and thanks for posting.
That was awesome!
Great video!
Amazing cinematics!! Please do more.
Youre the one who makes me train that Scooter to - one day - join the ECW! Ty for the content! o7 Alsom would LOVE to see high drag strike on a convoy \ base\ ship. * w *

Loving the A4 content dude
a DCS free mod that is as good as the best paid modules. It's amazing!
I KNOW THAT HIGHWAY BUILDING!! First time I played Enigma's on Syria as Red I went to one of the map markers and found a friggin building just sitting in the middle of the friggin highway lmao.. I was in a MiG-19 though so I only had 2 teeny bombs, still managed to kill one of the vehicles that sits next to it though. It was so weird and surprising seeing that for the first time though. Enemy placement is so weird in most servers.
Excellent editing. Good video 😀
awesome !!!
I can has more?! I love the A4. Enigma Cold War server is one of my top 3, actually my fav right now.
taxiing a4 was me lol
very awesome vid
Cool video!
good editing, would love to see that landing tutorial as everyone else who attempted to show that off smash a4 into the ground rather than land properly ;)

Spotting is TOUGH, but then again it is in real life too. I play on a 1440p (2k) 27” monitor. Most of my settings are all high or ultra and on ECW I’m getting 40-80fps.
Yes, more 😮
Try to hit the AA first (to make follow up attacks easier) and save the barracks for last. The barracks are there to help others spot the ground targets more easily. If you kill them first, you are making it more difficult to spot for yourself and for others.

Exactly! It's very annoying when I drop a Mk20 on the surrounding units and it clips the barracks a little bit...

Great point! However, I found I rather get the Mk83s off the airplane first and get that instant performance boost. The Shilkas don’t scare me too much, and I try to limit my time in their engagement envelope when I’m on my runs.
I wish DCS got more content like this. I'm always running out of stuff to watch 😅
Your ability to track targets with your head (VR or TrackIR?) is incredible. If you use TrackIR, could you do a quick video on your TrackIR settings?
Hooooolly this should be screened in cannes
Mirage trying to kill an A-4? How un-sports-manlike.
bravo. bravo

I'd like to share what load-out works for me and may for you as well. I got this from another youtuber I can't remember his name. 2 x 1000 lbs Mk.83 on center fuselage pylon and 4 x AIM 9P on the wing pylons. Why? I set ripple timer to 250 ms and use ground radar + computer to drop on ECW bases. This way I get to drop 2 potent bombs on a base ensuring some destruction and then I quickly disengage and proceed to air to air or rearm, depends on situation. For some reason I do better a2a in A-4 than in F-5. The reason why this works for me is that if I spend too much time on multiple passes on one base, being focused just on ground, losing SA, I became sitting duck for enemies. Now I just make one drop and disappear and go hunt Fishbeds or Frogfoots. A-4 is so nimble and can maintain energy so well that I can easily reverse most of red force planes, pull them into the HUD and get a sidewinder off the rails. Although be aware that you have way less trust than any other red force plane so you can't do that forever.
Does thr cold war server have a particular year or decade it is trying to portray in terms of lineup, or just making the best of it?
Man i wish they would do the kahu updated A4, f16 Rader mfd's ,agm65s
Good stuff, very cool video - just isnt the idea of LABS bombing that you dont fly over the target ? 😊 its more toss bombing than dive bombing

Bro that 86 really gonna come in and steal the kill like that. What an absolute dick. I hate people like that. and where is he to help with the Mirage?... Oh yeah, you didn't hit it with a missile or damage it first. He only wants to swoop in when the fight is already won.
Something quite ugly and at the same time cute about the A4. That and the F5, MiG19 and the forthcoming F4 Phantom might drag me away from IL2 and back to DCS. Not that there is anything wrong with DCS, but my rig doesn't like it. But it really pops with IL2 GB.
That was awesome!
