Logistics is big for any virtual/real war. Everyone serves a purpose, it's no "you don't belong here" .

This is going to be very important plane on a dynamic campaign. Makes sense it is becoming an actual module.

I think there is huge potential for the c130 even beyond logistics.

massive respect for all C130 and cargo pilots out there 💪

I see these flying out of RAF Mildenhall all the time, doing low level flight training, evasive manoeuvring and the like. People forget these things can drop mines, MOABs and JDAMs in those weapons creates, not "just" resupply Paratroopers use them too!

Mannn this gets me so excited for the c130. And the Chinook! I feel like I should be more excited for the f15e than I am. But the c130 and Chinook got me real excited lol. First modules for me after a good while. Will be a good getting back into it after like a year break

They really forgot about the C130 Gunship that saw combat. Logistical units are also vital in wars fr.

The C-130 and the logistics mechanism is a great addition to an already great simulator, but we will surely need a cargo plane for REDFORD too. For example the AN-12 or AN-22.

Logistics wins war. People who say the C-130 doesn't belong in the game don't understand air to air refueling, movement of supplies like parts to fix aircraft and various other supplies. Also the c-130 can go offensive too with the right load out.

Such a cool aircraft. Thanks for showcasing!

Would You fly the C-130?

I wish they did concentrate more on logistics. I like flying the Mi-8 for that very reason when I don't feel like shooting shit up. I hope they get around to introducing a CH53 at some point.

Good landing DevilDog. Smooth as butter

Much love devildog so excited for you to hit 1 mil. Hope all is well with the family thoughts and prayers 🙏

I prefer the combat roles but I have such a huge appreciation for the guys flying 130’s logistic roles of any kind on the servers so I always offer to provide an escort any time I see them

Looking forward to when we have both the C-130 and CH-47 modules in the GrayFlag server.

I completely agree with your assessment on the C-130. A great plane and so important for war operations. Great job, excellent video.

Please make more videos like this! Some of my favorites! Keep up the great work man!

I really can't wait to boot up DCS again after a loooong break when the C-130 comes out.

“MOAR” -Kylo ren

See this is something i could get behind And its funny this video comes out now because i have really been contemplating getting a hotas setup

I’ll tell you what I cannot wait to have us on DCS world it’s going to be absolutely freaking amazing. Thanks for the sick video.

Glad you're FINALLY getting back some of those subs you lost because of KZfaq! You'll make it to 1 million this time!

Loved the video @TheDevildogGamer! Can't wait for the next video of DCS, Broken Arrow, Nuclear War Simulator or Kerbal Space Program 2 man! Would love to see you Drop Paratroopers or Vehicles with the C-130 Hercules in DCS man, maybe grab some of your Friends or Anyone else who plays the Grey Wolf Server to Try this out.

Another great video as always!

I love the support role, I would love to see something like a 135 as well, for refueling ops for a while, even tho the herc will do it, it would be better in the 135

mellow cargo runs are kinda relaxing!

Thank you for helping me discover my new favorite server

I have to admit with it being a DDG video I kept waiting for a MIG to come out of nowhere and stop the supplies lol.

Ascot is the Air Transport callsign that the Royal Air Force uses for its entire fleet in real world. The trigraph is RRR so in your case in this video RRR-11. Someone who built the mission on GF did their homework.

I've only began learning the viper now, but would buy the c-130 in a heartbeat if they released it...

Thank you for making this video, I have wanted to do this for a while.

DCS hopefully will be more than just jets one day, I hope they add more of a combined arms aspect to the game. However I love the game with just the jets

I think c130 and chanook will add a lot of fun logistics. If they add paratroopers that would be massive I'd also love to see an ac130 added but I don't think that's on the horizon

This is the thing i want to do in dcs would love to see more of this

Ayy logistics! Theres something about doing these runs that are great! Yea you arent in the shit firing missiles at everything but its that suspense as you get closer to the front that feels wild! I love doing the supply runs to forward AFs in the finnish virtual pilots server on IL2 GB

Been on a thousand of these things in asscrackistan...legendary workhorse of a plane!!

Damn, I'm gonna have to try this server. Looks awesome.

Holy shit 4 LOADING RAMPS? Unheard of on the C-130! lmao

Idk about noble or anything but it sounds chill just flying while everyone else pvps

Could also be used as a gunship fro CAS and marking enemies with the rocket pods.

I love the mod and fly it all the time. On the server i play im already known for flying the C130 to drop ammo at the airfields for them to resuply. The only thing thats kinda sad to me is that other players see it as just a green su27 if they dont have the mod installed themself, that kinda takes away some of it in my opinion

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but the ASCOT callsign is assigned to RAF cargo/passenger Aircraft.

Due to parallax centerline s between your knees from either seat. Good video.

Not familiar with the DCS world and ecosystem. But very familiar with C-130H models (USAF maintainer for 12 years in the 90's). Got out of the military in 2000, so zero familiarity with the J. So weird not seeing the nav or flight eng seat. And all those digital readouts..... But regarding DCS, am I to understand, it simulates battles so accurately, that re-arming actually requires human supply runs? If so, that is equal parts crazy and cool, and you have to respect that dedication to realism (as much as possible). I am considering trying this out. I actually have some hours in the _real_ C-130H sim that is at Dyess AFB. Was awarded sim time for doing something well... I forget. Maintainers do not get sim time very often. And yes, I took off, circled Abilene TX for a bit, and landed successfully first time. I was probably lucky, lol. Any suggestions on a good, value controller to get started? And I have an update to date powerful system, except my graphics card is a bit old (Geforce 1070).

Now, just wait until Rapid Dragon and a full load of these puppies drops into a naval battle.

DCS should 1000% be marketing to the FSX crowd who like to fly commercial and Heavies this way.

Seus vídeos são muito bons mano parabéns continue gravando vídeos e suas edições são excelentes seu canal vai fazer cada vez mais sucesso

Gray Flag is a fun server ! im a herc pilot too very rewarding when people need stuff!

Even if I don't want to fly a C130 myself, an escort mission where the cargo plane is an intelligent human who can react to my warnings would make that kind of mission better.

I personally work on C-130s blows my mind on how close the thing is the the actual J model!

How the fuck? HOW? TELL ME HOW? THIS IS MY PASSION. edit: like how did this manage to begin to be a production module i love this

I would really love the see the C-17, as I am a C-17 loadmaster. It can take shit tons of munitions and can land at most places that the C-130 can. 102 jumpers can leave the aircraft or 54 jumpers and a mix of heavy equipment, like 3x Humvess. It would make a huge change to the landscape. Also, it flies a fuck ton faster than the C-130.

Logistic missions aren't boring. I'm sure there are others like myself who dont care to fly fighters and dog fight. I enjoy the simplicity of task, and i enjoy flying heavies. Most of the guys in the fighters are dying and using up all the supplies anyways lol. They need dudes like us

In an old PS2 game called Aero Elite: Combat Academy, there are occasional basic airdrop and casevac missions in Scramble Mode. The former involves you simply flying a cargo plane to a waypoint and airdropping a cargo pellet, and the latter requires you to land your amphibian aircraft near a dam. Despite there being essentially nothing else during those missions, the voice scripts played during those mission helped you tuning in on the context of the missions and offered a limited degree of immersion.

Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics. - Gen Omar Bradley

This could be a step towards adding bombers to the game.

Now we just need a C-17 and C-5

If anyone hates the c130 mod on dcs then they hate progression lol. The possibilities with this, combined arms, transport helos etc, its one hell of a time. Used this with a few squadmates and it was probably the most fun ive ever had on dcs

People act like there aren't people who exclusively just do troop and supply transports in helicopters already, an actual plane that can do it would be a welcome one. The missions and escorts people could do would be interesting.

Great vid and mod :) Question: Could you have loaded up the pylons and unloaded them same as cargo?

wow - you let a lot of runway pass under you on that short runway aim for "brick one"

Without Logistics there is no Combat.

We need paratroopers on the real module so we can capture airbases by ground as well

As soon as, more and more servers implement logistics, the voices of those "disputing the use cases for transport aircraft" will go very quiet, as they realize how useless fighting without weapons and supplies, actually is... 😉 ...and how crucial protection of the logistics chain can be, if you want to fight.

"Ascot" is the call sign RAF Hercules use.

They landed these planes in Vietnam on airfields under attack to resupply and evacuate the wounded. Takes balls of steel to fly a cargo plane in a hostile air space.

By soon you of course mean 2 weeks 😂

Hey man, i was wondering, do you use trackir or VR for DCs?

so cool i will fly this plane with my friends(i mean i would if i had)

I can’t believe people said this plane shouldn’t be in the game

dont forget wing station stores, im allways a person who appricates more dumb bombs

try and do it night time. that will be really cool and challenging

I would love to fly transport helis/planes to deliver stuff I hope we get a a400m and a ch53 someday

Does that actual do anything? I assumed airfields that could rearm just had unlimited weapons of any type..

I love logistics !11!!!

Asuh dudes

AC-130 mod when? That'd be awesome. Have a second person manning the guns taking down ground units

What server is this? Looks fun

I would love to see a C141 or C17 mod

Can the OV-10 mod do resupply on this server?

How many coffee makers do you need lol

Logistics are a commonly overlooked portion of war even though it is oe of the 2 reasons a nation can wage war.

3:13 is there infantry in DCS now?!?! I heard paratroopers

GreyFlag by far best modern server

is there a release date on it yet ?

soon™

Which server is this? Would love to do this as well!

In the Canadian infantry I was deployed all the way from Victoria BC to the US Army Jungle Warfare school in Ft Sherman Panama on a Herc. Long flight

Won't the C130 get intercepted by enemy fighters on the way?

anyone know what server this was filmed on?

Is the name of the servers grey flag? I have tried finding it on the server list

What server is that?

I recently just got out of the Marine Corps and enlisted in the Air Guard to become a Flight Engineer on the C-130 H.

What server is this?

could be wrong but isn't ascot the RAF C-130 callsigns?

Wait so what server is this? Did he say "Gray flag"?

Would be nice to have a link or the name of the mod you are using. I have no idea where to look for this.

how do i get the mod and what server is this ?

That looks fun. Do these also take copilots? Do you need a full HOTAS setup for this stuff? I've got no flight stick anymore (old one died years ago) only keyboard/mouse and a xbox360 controller with USB.
