Another great video Longshot...!!! You are one of the guys responsible of me abandoning TV just to watch KZread... Hahaha... Growling Sidewinder is also responsible... 😂

Whoa.. I didn't know you could call a TV feed off the slams that's something to play with tonight.

Nice work and great video! The Hornet is a awesome plane.

We may know it more as the Top Gun Maverick mission, but this was actually very similar to the very first deployment of the AGM-84E SLAM missile in 1991. An A-6E Intruder fired a pair of SLAMs at a hydroelectric plant targeting the power house and turbines because it was powering a plant producing yellow cake uranium in Iraq. An A-7 Corsair II guided the missiles, and they had to hit in sequence, with the first opening a hole, and the second going in to do damage.

We also want f14 part of mission.

"The F14 part" being if we used modern methods, Maverick never would have ended up grounded scavenging an F-14? The "a" model was also notorious for compressor stalls. Trying all that wild stuff in an "a" with a questionable maintenance history is wild even in the context of the movie.

LS definitely one of your best yet. Great tutorial and video on the SLAMS. Then transitioning into a very cool BVR and how your attack neutralized their missile attacks. The best in DCS!

Top tier cinematography, as always.

Probably better to use the super hornet rather than the legacy hornet but all in all epic vid sir

what's the song for the outro? it sounds like a banger

how much time you took to memorize controls

Is it really TG2 without the Super Bug though?

Longshot, which one do you like more? Legacy Hornet or Super Hornet? Single seater or two-seater variant? Can two-seaters used like the Strike Eagle?

@LongShotChannel

Ай бұрын

I like single seat, can tell much about the Super Hornet because all we have is a mod. And the back seat in the mod is not functional like a Strike Eagle. I guess if we had in game a Super Hornet, I would like it better. Better thrust, more fuel...

Did everything you did longshot, However when my feed came in i selected the display but i could not move the seeker. Tried to cage/uncage it just coninuted todo its own thing.

That It's a MiG29 or SU27, SU33

Would have been cool if you would have the 2 fellons show up as well.

Shouldn't you have made the video with the Super Hornet since that's what all the pilots flew in the movie?

But.. Where are the Felons?

Super cool solution. The Walleye II would also work and is "fire and forget", though you would have to be much closer. Just wouldn't need buddy lasing as in the movie.

Thank you!!! Si satisfying to see you do it RIGHT. Honestly found the movie infuriating to watch with the Star Wars 4 bs… so much I had to binge Eli21 and a few missions to wash the taste 😅 Great video, as always

Also the SU-57s don't exist. I don't mean in the movie. I mean satellite imagery shows there's barely any produced, and they're definitely not being fielded.

Wheres the unrealistic stuff?

@KevinJDildonik

Ай бұрын

The whole movie is unrealistic. This video shows we are able to hit the target from beyond visual range, making the canyon flight useless. The SU-57 is basically not being fielded by Russia. We can see them on satellite imagery and there are barely any in existence. They claim they'll have 50 by the end of 2024, but they have routinely shown they're unable to meet their already nonexistent quotas. The last analysis I saw seemed to indicate all the SU57's in existence were lined up on one field, and could be counted on one hand. Maybe they've gotten up to a couple dozen if we're being very, very generous. With, to my knowledge, zero confirmed combat deployments outside of Russian propaganda. "Maybe they're so stealth NATO can't find them" lolol yeah kid. Sure.

Better footage than Growling Sidewinder!

Nasty, nasty....little Hornet ! Make a hole ! hahaha That was fun !

I am getting a suitable setup together to return to combat flying gaming. I quit that Russian game after a certain happenstance. Will eventually start my own DCS server. Kudos to LS, GS, 345, and the lot.

Didn't the movie use the excuse that was havy jamming in the AO. So standoff munitions won't work.

Can't remember, but if they did, how the Tomahawks worked?

I liked Top Gun 2, but the whole time I knew the mission profile was pointless, and just for teh purposes of the plot. But I still prefer the first movie for its better realism, better captured real life in the military.

Nice job my friend 👍

Excellent target acquisition.... and evasion... Two flankers down 🫸
