F-4 Strike Over Vietnam | DCS World

F4 looks so damn cool, those damn SA-2 (Flying telephone poles) were def not made to shoot down fighters. One saving grace so that you can dodge them. Nice move my dude, I thought you were about to be confetti when it came into the valley.

Love the Phantom content! Would be interesting to see the F-5 Tiger II as well, especially considering how almost "forgotten" it seems in DCS

1st & 3rd rocket strikes were on time. I can only imagine as you were editing and found the mig was underneath you. That is as real as it gets, so many times that happened even in Korea and especially in mig Alley in Vietnam. One nugget had a bogey under his portside just under the nose and he could not see it and is captain was telling him to shoot. His reply was shoot what and you know his head was on a swivel in it didn't reveal itself until the debrief. Thank God he made it back to ship for that. Debrief. The video showed everything and just how close it gets. Neither one of them saw each other and they were within 100 yards of each other. That was one awesome video! That was just a ROCKIN' 😎👊 I have to check out that mod the F4 that I have. It's a Navy four but the upper left wires are hanging out. I believe it's a VFN and no way to activate RWR. I'm not PC compliant so whenever I find somebody they help me load it up. Going to check out your mod and kick the one I have out or it serves no purpose other than a ride. Love it though! That was one awesome video! Labor of love and it shows 💯

Another outstanding cinematic fight video! Killer job LS!!

Oh my. This was a good video, man.

When I was a kid, they had RF-4s and later F-4G SEAD Phantoms at Gowen Field in Boise.

Gerat fight by you long shot keep on great work 😊

Yikes, that first SAM helped resolve a regularity issue with this viewer!

Also, try spinning, the F-4 does that really well (if you need help with it, hit me up!). Even better, load a couple of gunpods and you can do a great "Deathflower" imitation.
You're welcome😉👍👍

All kidding aside, loving the VN scenarios!

I grew up in the flight path of an AFB as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. As they flew directly over my house on a daily, that big green monster stole a place in my heart. She looks tough and fast, even on the ground. Not to mention the tons of ordinance she can haul. F4 smoke is in my soul..love your videos.

it looked like the mig-21 was trying to kill you with his drop tank lol

Excellent video. Like seeing the period correct Fox 1 engagements, and the Phantom looks so cool in SEA theatre camouflage. Great channel

My grandfather was an F4 pilot in Vietnam, he was was bombing truck convoys every other night in Laos.

Nice! The old tech sure makes combat different than today’s BVR fights.

Great video! 3 Sparrow kills in one mission deserves a distinguished flying corss

A while back ck I read about the Wild Wesles tail sigh WW, they would fly at treetop level to avoid AAA, upon approaching the target they would pull up into a 45○ angle and launch there missile at the same sight, then drop back down to tree top level and bug out of the area.

Love theVietnam missions, the more SAMS and AAA thr better!!

This is what separates you from other channels. More of this please.

Brilliant job of showing the intensity of a strike mission interwoven with cinematic replays. Very well done. I love this era of military aviation.

Good video!!!

I love the phantom

You were almost off to the Hanoi Hilton after that first launch there, Longshot!

My uncle was an F4 pilot in Vietnam and at least one tactic for sam evasion was locating the smoke plume and flying towards it before breaking.
Nice vid!

Hi what map is this

Spicy mission!

How do you guys fly around it burner all the time? And not run out of fuel?

Wow... even the Sparrow brought its A-game and got 2/2. Very nice mission!

I didn't think the F4 had been released?

Great video Longshot! I can not wait for the full F-4E module we are getting in DCS - childhood dream come true!

The Americans are addicted to war they cant get enough of and crave it like crack addicts crave crack. No pile of dead civilians is too big in the name of American war profits. US has not been i war protecting american soil since ww2 everything after that is about making money off dead women and children for american and Israeli defense contractors. got nothing to do with any american freedom other than the freedom to start war when they need money. prove me wrong.

A TER of LAU-3/A rocket pods is going to have a phenomenally high drag count. You would have been better off carrying a single LAU-3 on each inboard pylon.

AIM-7 Sparrow: Putting the "miss" into "missile".

Can you put a link to the f4 mod you use? I don't see it in the description and I don't wanna download an f4 mod that isn't trusted.

Hi there excellent work! I would love to know how to aquire the shrike for the F4 please?

What map is that pls

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s
...... terrific..... more 👏

Don't waste your time... it's a video game.

bleh video game crap

Do a longer bomb mission vs the dragons jaw that would rock. F 105s would be cool

And thats how you fly the lead sled. Always in afterburner unless trying to improve firing solution 😂

This video covers the air battle between North Vietnam's MIG-21 and the U.S. Air Force F-4 during the Vietnam War, but there are countries where this is still possible. North Korea still operates the MIG-21, and South Korea now operates the F-4E. Of course, there are F-16s, F-15s, and F-35s, but a small number of F-4Es are still in use.

Man how do your graphics look so good? I just installed a 4060 ti 16mb from a 1080 and so far unimpressed… another question I’m on steam with dcs and miss out on mods, do you know of any way to get these beautiful mods or am I stuck and at the mercy of ED?

Ok, I have some.. questions. I just downloaded this thing, and I'm currently flying at ~Mach 2.5, 50,000 ft, still climbing at ~1500ft/min, and still accelerating - and I still have ~1200g of fuel.. I'm like halfway across the Caucuses map. This is with a full A2A loadout, gun pod, bags. Is this right??? This thing is INSANE! I took off in AB and haven't touched the throttle since..

Edit: Ok it finally flamed out at Mach ~2.6, but my lord...

Just want to say another great video and I enjoy your Channel . The intensity in your voice definitely adds to the video also enjoy that you are not always the victor which shows authenticity in your videos thanks again.

not the entire video, even the cockpit cam looks incredibly cinematic

the Atari ST game 'Flight of The Intruder', based on the book (also the film) allowed you to fly F-4s and A-6s over Vietnam
Virgil 'Tiger' Cole: 'Lets go downtown!' and 'Ironhand's sorta my thing. I hate SAMs'

The Vietnamese would often turn off the SAM radars to prevent their destruction by U.S. anti-radiation missiles and turn them back on when the aircraft moves away.

Is stevie wonder in the pilots seat? 😂 just joking

A lot of action in this video.
