I had a question recently about the Mirage 2000’s radar and how to make sense of it, so I hopped on a server with limited enemy players and made it my mission to locate and kill them - this video is a “How To” for the entire process; from start up to getting the kill.
I remember when I started playing DCS and the multiplayer environment felt extremely daunting, there are a few tips in this video that other people gave me to help work things out - I accept that it’s long for what amounts to getting one kill, but that’s how long it takes in DCS; if you want to be getting kills every 5 minutes, you’re playing the wrong game.
The specifics of this video relate to the usage of the Mirage 2000, but the basic premise of finding out where the enemy are coming from and following BRA calls (which could come from AWACS, EWR reports, TAF or a human GCI) could just as easily be applied to any module in the game.

08:00 - TAF - The Mirage's radar/radio integration with early warning radar/SAM units
09:14 - Getting a TAF contact and understanding the info
11:17 - How'd you know TAF's working?
12:23 - Closing in, getting high and fast to aid missile kinematics
12:39 - Using the Mirage's excellent kneeboard to understand RWR symbology
13:10 - Engaged by ships close to our target
14:08 - Turning hot after defending incoming from the ships
14:55 - How'd you gauge the lethality of a 530 shot?

Does the gci still ignore mountains and terrain or have they fixed it? I just bought the 2000 thanks to your videos and watching tempests stream. Curious if its working proper yet

TAF is disabled on Tempest’s server, but when it is active it works on line of sight only. The Overlord bot on Tempest’s server supposedly works on LOS as well but I’m not sure I believe it based on my experience so far.

I wonder how a sparrow wouldve performed with the same shot parameters?

@@timothymorgan8254 Nowhere near as well, it just doesn’t burn for long enough, I think it would struggle to break Mach 4 and it’s a much less aerodynamic design.

me who just uses auto start now 😂

@Bullet4MyEnemy Жыл бұрын

I’ve never tried the auto-start, I prefer to go through it so I know what’s been done and what hasn’t. Like sometimes when I hot start certain things are set up, or nav lights are on or whatever and it’s a pain in the arse 😅

@@fiasco11 One benefit actually is that if you flick the switches and see the effect, if something goes wrong or isn’t working right, you’re more likely to know or be able to work out what the issue is and resolve it. I’ll quite often hover over switches just to see what they’re for, then sometimes I’ll end up using them in an emergency. Like in the MiG-19 there are cranks for the gear and flaps when the power fails, and a hydraulic boost switch that stops your elevator locking when you run out of fuel - would’ve never known they were there if I relied on the auto start.
