F100's try doing a rudder wag when you fire rockets gives more area coverage on your attack line.
Would have been better if everyone went with guns and rockets
excellent use of the Bronco! Glad to see these missions now that we have some of the right airplanes. (Need to redo this when the "real" F-100 comes out. The VSN mod is great, but the cockpit is just a bit too modern).
Cap listening to the audiobook of Dan Hampton called The Hunter Killers. In his book he describes exactly how the NVA used the optical method of guiding missles in without the fansong radars. It's a great listen and talks all about THUD pilots and the book mainly focus's on the job of the "wild weasles" and i would love to see a F105 mission by the reapers hunting SA-2 Sites. Sidenote: the book actually gets the politics of the era dead on too…. a rare thing when everything is political now.
Is there not a Cobra to send in with the Huey. It is probity model in DCS correctly but I had a friend who was a waist gunner on a huey. He told me there was a big difference when they arrived on scene with and without Cobras. He told me that without everyone on ground turned and shot at the Hueys. When they realized there were Cobras with them they turned and ran.
The Huns were so bad at accurate bombing that they used Napalm instead. Pity it is not modelled.
F-4s with Snake and Nape! lol
Danger Close, Broken Arrow, Prairie Fire, Avalanche….all code phrases that can typically mean "position overrun, drop on here", depending on the briefing.
There's a reason Snake and Nape was the load out of choice for CAS back then.
Love that the F-100 are in CTANG livery! Both my dad (who worked on the CTANG F-100s) and I served in the CTANG! (I served 1982-1989 when the 103rd TFG had A-10s). Good times!
Holy sheeeeeit. Violet is awful. So many excuses for poor performance and can’t tell if it’s an automatic or a manual…
I was on the ground under the trees with the 1st Cav in 1966-67. Damn this is depressing. But good work, Cap and friends. I love your videos. Thanks.
My uncle flew F-100's in Vietnam. Earned a Silver Star on a mission where he and his wingman where called in for close air support on a Marine platoon surrounded by much larger VC battalion +. When He told the ground troops he could no see who was friendly and was worried he would drop ordinance on US Marines He was told "doesn't mater, where all dead in 10 minutes if you don't het them (enemy) anyway". After expending all bombs etc he continued strafing passes until out of amo despite multiple hits on aircraft. He then continued to buz the enemy with below treetop passes until he was low on fuel and had to return home. This allowed for the US troops to withdraw to safety ….. afterward there was found >200 KIA largely due to the 2 F-100s.
Hello, Cap. I have a question. Is it possible to shutdown engine of other aircraft while being on other plane that goes burner to that's plane intake? I know it probably won't modelled in DCS, but who knows.
You would have been far more effective if DCS actually had realistic splash damage. Right now rockets and bombs have to be almost on top of a unit and even infantry to kill them.
cmon cap …. broken arrow is when your getting your ass handed to you and you need all the help you can get …. you call broken arrow and they divert any and all resources to your location and lay waste to EVERYTHING !!!!!
Wouldn't it make more sense to use the Marianas map? Because jungles…
why no door gunners? was SAR not Medevac
Broken Arrow was used for drop everything on/around me – was repurposed later on for the lost nuke etc
man the the OB-10 is a cool as F mod!
Are the Sabres burning coal ?!
I think the aircraft that may be best suited for taking out the baddies would be an AC-47 or "Puff the Magic Dragon," which was fitted with 7.62 mm miniguns. The AC-47 carried 54,000 rounds of ammo
I loved it, why not do a re run with a few more Hueys?
Will the Sabre “dance”?
Lt. Col. Hambelton was known as “Gene”. He had been a missile systems officer with access to nuclear launch codes and such. Why some Dipshit thought it was a good idea for him to go flying around in an electronics warfare plane with the possibility of getting shot down and captured is anybody’s guess. There was no not getting him out. He ended up being rescued by a Navy seal and a Vietnamese Navy commando. They rescued him in a very small canoe/boat. The movie sucked ass. The only decent acting was done by Gene Hackman and to a lesser extent, Danny Glover. The movie was so technically ridiculously inaccurate it was hard to finish. There’s a lot of shit they could have gotten right and didn’t even make the effort. Things such as: the Air Force never flew chinooks. The Air Force has never had warrant officer helicopter pilots. There were numerous Forward air controllers that talked to the survivor, not just Danny Glover’s character. Gene Was an avid golfer and had played for many decades. They gave him distance and direction by calling out various holes at various military golf courses. That way the enemy that was in fact listening could not figure out which direction he was heading and for how long.
A few Sandy's would of helped.
Instead of concentrating on the enemy to the north, a corridor should have been made in the south west to allow the Huey to get to its target and get the hell out.
can you make a video .. of how to install that new F-100 jet
If a F-100 is a "Hun", flying alone in it makes it a "Hun Solo"? (I swear I'll only do 1 pun per season.)
The North Vietnamese were desperately trying to catch him as Hambleton had top secret access of Strategic Air Command, expert in SAM Countermeasures and I'm sure the Russians would have feel like they won the lottery if he was captured.
lol, caught in god mode
Sounds like a job for the Sandy's
Y'all should've waited till the A-1 H sky Raider comes out in a few months to do this mission
Violet was the true MVP in this
You keep bringing new reasons to play dcs…..Black and cyber days can't come quick enough
Trojan Horse? Enemy mixed at my position with us? In a Sci Fi book that has a lot of US military terms but it was fiction!
Can't wait to see you guys try your hands at the A-1 Skyraider. Maybe do a light-CAS competition between the O-10, A-1, A-29, P47, Pampa, etc?
Wrong bomb choice, Hint: "I love the smell of burning N@&$%m in the Morning". Dat dat dad dar dar…..
Would love a B-66/ A-3 FF module in DCS, preferably the Destroyer;)
Cap is the only one who's got a dirty mouth..had to be English. Sorry guys for my native Brit. 😊
The F-100's were called thuds
My bad it was the F-105 thunder chief 😁😁😁😁 that were called thuds
I'd love to know what the huey looked like when it got back to base. The engine had to been hit, gearbox leaking, maybe one of the pilots was hit but still she got the job done???
Maybe next time you'll carry some NAPALM. RIP Col Hambleton, these armchair pilots got you killed.
Super cool mission idea!! DO another one for Hamburger hill where you have to smoke all the enemy troops on the mountain so that the soldiers can climb to the top…
Which mod for the F-100 were you guys using?
This was great, I'd love to see a redo of this or similar mission.
you did well guys but maybe using napalm bombs or cluster ammo for the infantry and less he bombs, and more people, maybe 2 teams each with 2 OV-10 and 2 F-100 Sabres could do the job
“Sexy Smoke” nothing better 🍌 💨
Ah yes “Bat 21”.
I can't see the platoon either….
Um the Hun was a damn fine ship and she was also a damn find ww.
