Some units are more energetic in their emissions (Like the “clamshell”) compared to others (Search radar on an SA-15 Gauntlet). A fighter pilot who is low, but has speed, could choose to initiate a climb. You’ll see all sorts of info pop up you where used to from STT ( Single Target Track), this info counts for him. The maximum range is about 10 to 15 nautical miles. It will follow the TDC (Target Designation Cursor). The F-15 has often been labeled as the greatest fighter aircraft in the world from the 1970s until the early 21st century. You are in the same PRF (Pulse Repetition Frequency) as you where in when you left RWS (Range While Scan). Let’s calmly follow a clockwise pattern and use colour coded arrows to indicate what we’re talking about. So what happens if we combine the knowledge with what we learned before? I just need to press the weapon release key and let go of it. The other part appears to be sitting in the wind. This pretty much speaks for itself. 879>, This the rate of closure, as well as the position of the target on the range scale. The mode is called HOJ (Home on Jam). More informative so than RWS (Range while scan, the default radar mode). At low altitudes, drag is worse than at high altitude, because the air is denser. These can by cycled by pressing “6”. This gas has to go somewhere. As faith would have it, the SA-10 decides the time is right took a shot right as my slammers (AIM-120) come of the rail.The SA-10 predicts that I maintain my course and enter the WEZ where the missile will be waiting for me. About JDF. The close rate is also highly lowered, and the total distance travelled needed increased. I am looking at the right side of this target. Let’s first discuss what advantages I deny by not allowing him an opportunity to climb. Which one is more maneuverable? It’s possible to burn through ECM at close ranges, roughly WVR (Within Visual Range). In this case I mean altitude and speed though. Let’s start from the bottom left. So as said in the title I am trying to beat an f-15c in a guns only dogfight. Let’s recap what we learned so far in a short summary, using the car as our example. Since I want you to explain how they work, and why you need to understand it, I’ll grab a more technical drawing. After the 10 seconds the X stays on permantly. F-15 doing a get away back to Turkish territories at 2768km/h True Airspeed. Tacview images of my second turn. Thanks Sryan! They inherit all your stuff. The killer AMRAAM strikes a few seconds before the suppressing AMRAAM. I turn away from the threat. We’ll call it ECM, for Electronic Countermeasures. The more centered the dot is, the better the shot will be and the less the missile will have to steer right after launch, which is a waste of energy. This radar is not fooled by the enemy. It tells important information about how the aircraft is expected to behave at the given speed and altitude. In this mode the radar is active as well. Do you still know what that means? This is your PRF ( Pulse repetition frequency). It’s important to realise that all these symbols are related to range. Also Mirage is good machine. (Photo: U.S. Air Force Senior Airman John Hughel) With three 600-gallon drop tanks and two 750-gallon conformal fuel tanks (Fuel And Sensor Tactical, or “FAST” packs), the F-15’s range is 3,450 miles. The M for sparrow is probably to deconflict with Sidewinder. F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft. Drop a healthy amount of flares. Hence I did not discuss say, the four fundamental forces of flight. What would you do? 397, This is the speed of your target. Some more advanced knowledge about defeating radar weapons is embedded in the following examples. This is what you see with your own eyes when flying over a specific part of the Georgia terrain near the mountains. Just perfectly sideways? So they are SA-15 Gauntlets. If the pitot tube is detecting a lower pressure, the wings will feel like as if less air is moving across them, and they will want to provide less lift. You’re being quite noisy and easily detected. We’ll go through this calmly, handling one color-coded arrow at a time. Note that in vertical AACQ you can lock targets that are even higher than the steel ring where the mirrors are mounted. We’re in a head-on. Date - 04.12.2016 01:20 . I highly doubt it but you can never be sure. It will be a duel about having less enough to be light enough to reach high speeds. Let’s take a look, shall we? This is like trading in your money for raw sewage. This allows for some very specific targeting, per example if you’re engaging a package of enemies and you need to engage the highest threat. With my knowledge about Pulse-Doppler radars now shared, I’ll explain how to evade radar guided weapons. It can detect if there are things out there in the first place, and it can tell how far away it is. I have a task for you to do. So if the analogue indicator starts spinning backwards, the drop tanks should have been dropped long ago. Use the size of the target and this indication to judge if the range is good to shoot. Or Range Aerodynamic. The next sidewinder specific AACQ mode is the seeker uncaged mode. The Eagle’s most notable characteristics are its great acceleration and maneuverability. The most important role for that equipment is to prevent the enemy from properly locking the aircraft. When the quantity of countermeasures gets low, the MINIMUM light goes on. I’ve already ditched the heavy tanks as I prepare to gain speed. AWACS has just called out a bandit somewhere on my right! So how does this relate to air combat? Antares. It is useful only when you need to work out to get from A to B. the > is called a caret. We have arrived at our first real learning objective for this example. TEWS (Tactical Electronic Warfare System) but let’s call it the RWR (Radar Warning Receiver). This pod allowed them to perform electronic warfare, confusing hostiles radars. The F-15 has a top speed of Mach 2.5, a combat radius of 1,222 miles, and can maneuver in a dogfight, pulling up to 9 Gs. But I thought it to myself. It pretty much floats a few hundred milliseconds after it was dropped. It turns out I was right. Range Turn and Run. You can drop both at the same time by pressing Q. I just took off and am inbound, overland, from Turkey. If this number is negative, the target is getting away from you. By pressing RSHIFT-R you can change the RWR mode so that only people locking on to you are shown! Inside the pitot you can see two tubes. The last missile available to the F-15 is the AIM-9. the AIM-120, the AIM-7, the AIM-9 and the M61 Vulcan. First dogfight with my new Track IR. Home > User Files > F-15C BFM & ACM Training - #1 Art of the Dogfight. Think of it as the distance the missile would fall on the ground or water if fired right now. The box indicates the secondary target (Blue arrow). Still we can only see what was left in the memory. After all, altitude is useful, and it can be converted back into speed at the pilot’s command by diving. It is crazy to see how far DCS has... Post was not sent - check your email addresses! After a certain moment has passed, called “pitbull”, the AMRAAM activates its own radar and continues the flight on its own. Here we see 3 bandits illuminating me. The second missile follows soon. So targets who are closer at low altitudes can still be spotted. Try not to focus purely on the instruments either though. Before I mention the next hindering aspect on missiles related to altitude, I want to talk about air pressure. Download. A bit lower on the left of the scale we find the Caret (>) This is the exact position of the target on the range. If he decides to shoot, the bottom circle will flash. As soon as I center the dot, I fire off my second AMRAAM. Key Point: Japan's F-15 may have the advantage over China's J-20 for now, but that could soon change. Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) 2.5 ist ein kostenloses (free-to-play) digitales Schlachtfeld. Meanwhile, on the VSD. The F-15 is capable of carrying 4 different types of weapons. Two AMRAAMS of the C model. G 719 indicates your own speed. So I will use a cloud to represent chaff. As a way per example I have driven the radar into the ground now. The F-15 may give his position and presence away if flying directly at a hostile. Note the thicker part on the circle, this is a visual indication of the range towards the target. I decide to keep the ASE dot centered for a little while longer in order to close the gap. If I wanted to go crazy I could repeat the process and guide 2 AMRAAMS onto each target. WEAKER? There are major differences ofcourse. It’s heavy, and heavy things tend to be slow and unmaneuverable. Because they can’t calculate a range, they can only follow a pure pursuit course (coming directly at you). If an enemy aircraft is painting you, the radarwaves originate form that aircraft. This is diminished as altitude increases. Surely You wanted to say STRONGER. A number of ground-attack aircraft are enroute to engage us. Range Turn and Run. No enemy gets warned until the first missile goes pitbull (although in my example the range is rather short). The most important difference is that it does not carry a radar-tranceiver. However I have options to do more things. Keep on the Display at all costs if possible. Let’s start with those, as those are easy. You can get into gun AACQ by pressing “C” to go to guns mode and then pressing ” i ” to toggle Gun AACQ. The thin air does not really feed my engines enough oxidizer for optimum acceleration and the force of gravity can assist in my speed up. This is where your bullets will go. STT means Single Target Track. Reason being that deadly enemy R27-ET. Time to pitbull: 65 seconds. So it’s probably not a significant force in air combat, right? Also wich sent pulse belongs to wich received pulse? This also counts for a surface to air missile. If you understood what CAS,IAS,TAS,GS and Mach where all about you can continue reading now. M is for Sparrow. It measures what we shall call the dynamic pressure. The next stripe means RTR. There is not enough time to shoot them down one by one. I specialised this guide into combat applications. The first one I want to talk about is vertical auto acquisition. The CHAFF and FLARE lights stay on for up to 3 seconds after they have been dropped. You had the SA (Situational Awareness) to understand you where in the WEZ (weapons envelope zone) of an enemy. I use all 120C rockets and 3 fuel tanks. Or a bit over a billion kilometres per hour. EDIT: I've since switched to Su-33 and have won every dogfight since, thanks for … And the amount of chaffs and flares remaining on the top-right. I’m expecting radar contact at an extreme distance. DCS just dogfight multiplayer server « ‹ 1 of 2 › » Clips produced for our server. He can’t risk pointing his nose at me in order to launch weapons. Also, aren't Russian fighter jets in general more maneuverable than US jets? The situation is as follows: The Russians have conquered much of Georgia, However recent fighting has seen the depletion or destruction of much valuable equipment and ammunition. If the airport I want to land at is 200 nautical miles away, and my plane is doing 200 knots GS, I will be there in 1 hour. The weapons and targeting syste… This results in faster scans of smaller areas. the AIM-9 Sidewinder cannot be mounted directly under the fuselage, only on outboard stations. I have entered TWS mode. I never knew if I actually crossed into the SA-10 WEZ (Weapons Envelope Zone) or not. Some maneuvres may help defeating missiles, like the Immelmann or Split-S if battlefield conditions allow and the missile was fired close to its maximum range, but you should rarely expect to defeat missiles with maneuvres alone. First flown in 1972, the F-15 Eagle entered U.S. Air Force service in 1974. The bottom left now indicates TWS. This is not a full on reprimand-you-for-having-your-navigation-lights-on-when-you-shouldn't-have type outfit here. It will be my job to produce a kill from outside the WEZ. A small circle on the HUD indicates what part of the HUD you need to put over the target. By doing manoeuvres you force the missile to follow you. You’ll receive a launch warning before you are in range yourself. You will receive no warning from this radar guided missile. After you shoot, bank right or left and put the enemy at the edge of your radar, the enemy missile will have to travel longer and this allow you to stay offensive while defending a bit too, it's called cranking. There is a lot more to understand and study, but this would be a good start. In this case 535 knots. Studying the avionics has paid off. Those big drag inducing things. Great for quickly getting Situational awareness in a cluttered environment. I turn either left or right, in this case right. DCS [MiG -29] ii DCS: MiG-29 for DCS World ... Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau to counter the American F-15 “Eagle”. 11R. By gently pushing the stick forward instead of choosing for an instantaneous turn I artificially lower my AoA (angle of attack). The RWR has full 360° coverage but there are two large blindspots. so allow me to explain. This also means I presumed you understood the difference between IAS,TAS,GS, CAS (Calibrated Airspeed) and Mach. The last thing is that the fan, by its very nature is, constantly moving. The F-15 can drop the lock and engage something else, or defend itself against missiles or other bandits. You can drop specifically flares by pressing DELETE and chaff by pressing INSERT. The other half is approaching us, and appear Violet (You can think of violet like blue, but worse). You can enter this mode by pressing RCTRL –. Now we can see the bandit at 44 miles (Note the top right!! When the F-15 computer thinks you are in a good position to take a shot, it will display a small star below the target box. Now the missile needs to spend energy to follow my turn, expending energy. An infrared guided missile that, while not as ranged as the ER, is still a missile for the application at the medium range. It’s mainly the last capability of radar that ECM messes with. Air pressure is all around us. I wish to see a fair dogfight between Su 27/F 15. Carrying 940 rounds, the F-15 can sustain fire for about 9 seconds. (Right Shift + dot). Let’s take a look at my current situation. While much shorter ranged than the previous mentioned models, the AIM-9 is guided by locking on to an infrared light radiation source. Auto Acquisition modes are the easiest to fly and fight with. No sight of that bandit just of my nose beaming me. So the device gives a lower reading than the actual True Airspeed is. Who would target a flare if you can go for a juicy afterburner instead? So only capable of following one target, but in high quality, this opposes TWS (Track While Scan), we’ll get to that later. In order to keep up with the clockwise pattern, we’ll do right to left. The bars now mean 80-60-40-20!). Attempting to get him on my 3-9 line and “turn green” to his radar. This allows by far the longest locking distance for the Sidewinder, up to around 18km in my experience. Anti-Air Artillery is always shown with an A on the RWR. However, what would happen if we didn’t close in or recede from the doppler radar all? With that in mind, I wrote the next chapter. In this angle, half of the blades are moving away from us,they appear red to our radar. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. What distance do you launch your 120s from? Many guides begin by explaining IAS, Indicated Air Speed. This causes the enemy to quickly show up on the radar. Naturally. Addendum: The forum post that originated this article has had some great discussion. It will have to take a spot that was previously likely occupied by air. This causes it to appear to be of a different colour to the Pulse-Doppler radar. the + high on top of your HUD is your boresight. By taking the F-15 to extreme altitude, you will stall, even at supersonic speed. It Including a Russian Sukhoi Su-25T ground attack aircraft and the famous WWII North American TF-51D fighter. These missiles where easily defeated. Keep track of what is going on outside as well and don’t get sucked into the green goo! Our dream is to offer the most authentic and realistic simulation of military aircraft, tanks, ground vehicles and ships possible. My car is moving through the air at a (guesstimated) speed of 64km/h indicated (IAS) If I lived 3km high in the mountains. The next chapter is about Track While Scan. For BVR, we’ll need to use the VSD (Vertical Situation Display, radar display) a lot. Other Links (not embed-able) JustDogfight Server – Backseat Driver (F-14) | DCS World. In order to shoot them all down. Free download includes the Caucasus region and Black Sea that encompasses much of Georgia. Air superiority is achieved through high maneuverability at a wide range of airspeeds and altitudes, as well as advanced weapons and avionics. Looks like I got rid of him Or did I? I am unfamiliar with ECM pods and other rockets. Some time ago I saw a plane taxi from one side of the airfield to another just to take off. Any targets high in the air have nothing but cold, dead space as their background. It also help to understand what enemy you are fighting against and what his weapons are. It may be ‘easy’ to just leave it on ILV ( Interleaved, pulsing med-high) but it may be a bad idea. I could dive back down low, or I could simply sustain my current altitude and try to keep my speed up in the turn. So do not hesitate if you detect a launch. So if there’s always 333µs between sending a pulse and receiving it back, you figured out the range to target. The yellow arrow indicates where. You cannot see very far in bad weather, but the radar at your local airport has every nearby airplane on their scope. You can lower the altitude at which the radar scans by pressing RSHIFT . You can now see useful info as their altitude ( the 13 above each target) and a line for their vector of travel. Some things are duplicate with what we’ve seen on the HUD. It's of course different if he is in TWS mode (most of the time), or if you are fighting against a Su-27 or a Mig29. If you expect to merge or fight a beaming bandit, use MED. RAdio Detection And Ranging. I want you to look up some images of 4th generation fighters. I’ll try to give a rather short description of what these do. The F-15 is also capable of destroying hostile jammers. This is the very same scenery as seen through a Pulse-Doppler radar. This means the target flies at 13 100 feet altitude. By showing my belly to the Gauntlet I’m just exposing my blind side to him. Attached to the circle we see a line that indicates the target direction of travel. I have started the locking proces. Unser Traum ist es, eine möglichst authentische und realistische Simulation von Militärflugzeugen, Panzern, Bodenfahrzeugen und Schiffen anzubieten. Here’s the HUD indication for Vertical AACQ for, in order, the Sparrow (AIM-7), the Sidewinder (AIM-9) and the AMRAAM (AIM-120).
