5 Ways To Improve Air Defenses in DCS | Explained By A USAF Sim & Wargame Developer

Just in case anyone is interested in using the sites shown in the video, I've posted up the mission files. You will need the SAM Sites Assets Pack for these. Enjoy. Caucasus sites: drive.google.com/file/d/1Vl5bNRGN386tp1mNrWZwlrctg… Syria site: drive.google.com/file/d/1XHVhsq6vi-k8jkCYgrUKYrP5F…

Very helpful. Ive been playing a lot of Command Modern Operations and it has given me more inspiration to make realistic sam setups like this in DCS

Another outstanding video with great information and very well structured and presented. Thanks for making these, Mike. You deserve a lot more subscribers already, I'm sure they'll come with time.

Thank you for the video. Adding AAA and short range SAMs to convoys is a great idea to, I guess. Often my convoys would have at least one AAA or SAM and sometime an escort of helicopters. It makes game much more interesting, not like shooting dummies on the range. I remember my friend surprised voice when he was attempting low level high drag bombing on a convoy and the hell has opened up on him from the very convoy. Have a nice flying!

Excellent video thanks for the time and the Upload. Will look forward to more content improving on DCS Mission creation. Keep up the great work . Subscribed !

Very valuable content here. Please keep it up!

Just a small addition. The S-300 family can achieve the 5 min readiness time if they discard using any mast placed antenna. So in case of 5 min time the dedicated low level targ. acq. radar is not available. For S-300PT/PS this means the Clam Shell.

Dude i've watched two of your videos so far and I'm just like where has this dude and this information been all my life!! Great job!!

Great video! Concise, to the point, and very informative! In fact, I will add a link to your video in the Discord server of our Virtual Squadron! I'm sure they'll like it too and you might get some more subs out of it, I think you deserve it! Cheers!

This was superbly informative, thanks Mike!

Love the clip, lots of good tips!

Amazing, very informative ! thanks a lot !

Good points and much needed information. I have "hid" SAM sites by turning them off to start and using triggers to turn them on when aircraft get within strike range as a sort of low tech / no mods needed imitation of a network but I want to try out the mods you have suggested.

Another great video!

Great vid, thanks!

Great video, Thx a lot! I have missed this to be part of DCS the entire time. No more shooting range 🙂

Mike, thank you for the great video and information. Perhaps as part of your series you could cover tactics used to kill IAD systems. The info on the proper use of decoys and jammers, tactics etc would be useful too.

Thanks! This is really well put together and covers a lot. Do you happen to know of more open source material that goes over the ORBAT & ideally more of the tactics / equipment placement guide re: IADS sites. The FM 100-63 you showed I guess covers the ORBAT side, would be nice to have a few more templates re: how placement of actual equipment in a "typical" site, in addition to the ones you have posted. I am curious for example on how you would organize a convoy for moving a site from one place to another, would it leapfrog batteries etc... In general yeah, from DCS mission making point of view would love to see more variety in how SAM sites are built, lots of potential for interesting missions.

big tnx.... 🤗👍👌

Very nicely done vid. Next vid can be about protecting IADS SAMs against HARM attack. Or about air defence structure behind FLOT and deeper into own territory - NATO vs Russia. How to make SAM traps. Or how to handle similar Moose MANTIS script to control SAMs.
