  • Most real combat missions are performed without radio communications between aircraft. Today we try to run a long complex mission without the ability to talk to each other. What could possibly go wrong?

    "If Cap flies into this mountain, I'm just going to follow him." Grump officially bored to death. For the record guys, being early on target is just as bad as being late. When multiple assets are in play, you may blow the element of surprise, or not allow friendlies to get out of the way, etc. For US/NATO the acceptable TOT range is +/- 10 seconds.

    In fairness, while the individual aircraft and flight elements don’t talk to each other, usually there is a combat coordinator in an AWACS or ground station. That coordinator can update the various elements on mission status without the aircraft themselves having to transmit.

    This was a very good demonstration of the issues of including emissions control as part of the sortie, with the added disadvantage of no hand signal (rude or otherwise!). I do hope **sometime** in the future you'll try another similar or more complex mission. Judging from the other responses, we'll insist on more cockpit voice recorder clips of the Grumpmeister chilling out whilst 9-feet off your starboard wing - eating potato-chips/crisps ... listening to "Girl from Ipanema" elevator music ... or maybe even Grump slowly infuriating a cold-caller allegedly from AT&T "Technical Department" 🤣(In the interest of balance, other Internet service providers are available.)

    It would be cool to see DCS implement a 'Quiet Coms' setting where you can program a toggle to give a silent 'hand signal' to the others in the group. Every signal given will have its own symbol which when pressed will show up on screen to the others. For example, if you needed to pick up the pace you could make a symbol that appears as a flame with an up arrow indicating more power, or less power with a flame symbol down arrow indicator.

    You would have lost me at landing an F16 on a 4K runway. My flare out takes 6K and even then I am 50/50 at making the end threshold. lol maybe not that bad, but it feels like it sometimes. Toughest mission to date. Because usually to achieve success someone steps up and takes a verbal command to fix a problem. "...Fireball, head north and take out that baddie..." or "Simba you take the one on the right and I'll take the left". Target deconfliction and task prioritization are two huge reasons for successful missions. Whoo boi!

      Guess the fix is to land that F-16 like a turbo prop rather than a 737 (Slow and really early touchdown, of course you can have the bad habbit of "dragging" the aircraft to the runway as well (Full flaps, high angle of high and high power setting at low altitude would be "dragging")

    Really cool mission. Didn’t need the chatter.

    From the P-40 pilot's flight manual, some examples of communicating with radio silence are:
    - Assembly -> Rocking of wings
    - Open up or loosen formation -> Fishtail (use the rudder only)
    - Echelon left -> dipping the left wing
    - Echelon right -> dipping the right wing
    - Attention! Expect a rapid maneuver -> rapid fluttering of the ailerons
    - Landing -> pumping of the elevators
    - Switch to full tank of gas -> rotating the wrist as though turning a selector valve.
