![]() ![]() Below, we will talk a little about what the training involved and then provide an After Action Report (AAR) for that mission as executed by near_blind and I.Īfter that mission I posted some video of the mission and Klarsnow and others were kind enough to critique what was seen from that viewpoint. In a follow-up session, when only a couple of participants were in attendance, near_blind pulled together a small mission that would allow us to attempt to implement what we had practiced. Nothing terribly complicated but something that did require a bit of focus and practice. Near_blind set up a few training missions with F-15Cs and we spent a couple of sessions forming up, walking through tactical turns, and then practicing them in two- and four-ship flights. It seemed to make sense to start with something that was accessible to everyone and a bit of a rock-star role: that of an air-to-air combat pilot. It is inherently difficult to pull a mission together that fulfills what everyone wants to do, what everyone can do, let alone try to chop that up into tactical lessons followed by implementation missions. Some of us just want to get in a pit and fly and some have limited time from training, missions or both. And, in my opinion, we struggled, not because of the capabilities, energy or enthusiasm of the group but because of the magnitude of the possibilities that DCS World offers within its virtual combat world. We decided that we would try to get something together and start opening that up to the community. It is a tougher problem than people tend to think, given that everyone has wildly divergent thoughts on that constitutes “fun” in a virtual flight community - or for that matter, any first person shooter (FPS) or tactical simulation community. Tactical Combat Flying For Two – Part 1: The TacticsĪfter the Mudspike DCS World 2015 Fall Fly-In, a few of us were on TeamSpeak talking about the challenges of finding and flying in a group that wanted to be more tactical. This part contains a discussion on tactics which is followed through in Part 2: The After Action Report and Part 3: The Debrief. Guest writer Fridge shares some thoughts on flying tactical combat missions in a three-part article series: Tactical Combat Flying For Two. ![]()
