- Its finally the one you've all been waiting for! Today, In this DCS A4 Skyhawk tutorial, I'm going into the incredible weapons systems, as recreated here in DCS World. We'll discuss the different types of weapons the A-4 can carry and how to set the airplane up to drop each and every one of them - from free fall munitions to the Shrike. In a future tutorial, I'll discuss the theory behind weapons delivery. Feel free to share this with anyone who might need help learning the A-4 and stay tuned for more tutorials!

I'm Sport, a real world aviator and content creator with a passion for aviation and combat flight simulations. I don't post nearly as much as I want to, or should, but when I do it'll be mostly of Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), a full-fidelity combat flight sim with study-level replications of combat aircraft ranging from WWII to today. I'm always open to feedback and requests and hope you enjoy the content!

Thanks again for tuning in for another DCS tutorial. This one was a lot of fun to put together, and used over 300 separate video/audio assets to complete! They certainly take time, but its worth it! Bombs away!
Great video. The A4 mod is one of the best modules out there, and it's free.
love the 80's vhs tape effect. totally reminds me of something they would have had. complete with the cheesy over enthusiastic voice overs. not yours just the vids. thanks for taking the time to make awesome vids!
@J Corrêa it’s an air to ground radar only. Any air to air capability is purely for defense
Important question I have for you is where and how high do you set your seat height in your general line of sight. This matters for these type of aircraft and their weapon release systems because their predominantly Gunsite line-of-sight dependent thank you
@@williamleadbetter9686 great question! I leave it stock, however I find myself dipping in the seat occasionally to get a good sightline through the gunsight. I’d suggest lowering yourself slightly

Tutorials!!!
I learned
Like how this has only 1 replie
This whole series sets the standard for DCS tutorials. Masterfully done! Bravo Zulu!
This is so brilliantly edited and so informative. Thanks Sport!
My pleasure!
Great video thanks. That music was just DRIPPING with tacky 80s vibes. Mission accomplished.
Man this video's production quality is through the roof, well done!
awesome vid, new to DCS after 5-6 yrs in War Thunder, and im just amazed trying to cold start, taxing, landing and all.... after 2 days, maybe tomorrow ill try to use weapons on a target
Welcome to the real world. :D
Excellent video. Nicely done.
Great video! The A-4 is such an iconic platform. Well done!
Excelent video! I loved the 80s theme too, and how this combines with the aircraft.
Your content is by far the best I've seen for DCS. It's as good as the in-game tutorials but brief and much more understandable. Thanks!
awesome, comprehensive, well shot.
So well produced. Thanks for creating and sharing it.
Quality work!
Thank you for this and Can't wait for the next skyhawk tutorial coming on december 2024
😂😂🤣 you’re not even close to wrong!
Dude, the intro music and video intros for each chapter are awesome! It just...feels right!
I thought an episode of Magnum P.I. was about to play... :)
Great video man! Love the A-4 mod.
Linking the 80s vibes, getting flashbacks ;) Outstanding work!
Top notch videos Sport! Thank you for making them.
Very well done. Bravo.
Wow, this very well done! Thank you!
World class quality tutorial ❤
Really nicely out together video, thank you
I had a good laugh at the beginning with the typical 1980s GOV video graphics, Great Job , keep up the good work.
I hope you are able to start making videos again soon. Your content for the A4 is awesome.
Great tutorial, Thank You !!!
Nice! Finally the video is out!
Very well done video!
Very nice video. Thanks
Thanks Sport! love your content
Thank you for watching!!
This is such a high quality tutorial
Well done.
12:20 "and say goodbye to your framerates" lmao, I felt that
great job, thank you
The Skyhawk approach to weapons compatibility:
Step 1: Does it physically fit under the Air-frame?
Step 2: ... all good.
Fun fact, but the landing gear was made to be so tall specifically to fit the nuclear weapons available at the time!
@@SportDCSI have always wondered why the gear was so tall compared to other contemporary navy aircraft
WOWWWWWWW
Love the VHS effect
Haha yesssss, this the shit i need finally a weapon tutorial from you
Sorry it took so long!
@@SportDCS nah bro, quality content needs time and it's perfectly reasonable love your videos man
Brilliant thanks
Wow!!! You went all out 😅
Awesome and Highly Appreciated Job here!! Helped me a lot!! I wanna know where can I find the musics used!!! Loved it all!!!!
I'm just learning this mod now and recently discovered the absolute power trip that is loading 171 hydras, setting them to single ripple, and hosing down enemies with high explosive rain. Is it effective? Not really. Does it make me feel like a god? Absolutely.
Hey Sport, Love the tutorials! I have one question from this video; When you say "Set MILS" how do i know what value to set it to?
That’s a much longer topic using Bombing tables and doing some math. I’ll eventually do a tutorial on that, but take a look at my computer weapon release tutorial and you’ll never have to worry about it!
Great Video and really helped me!
Only thing I didnt get ist how to correctly set up the gun sight when wanting to do an bombing run?
Awesome videos man, do you know if "bullpup" or "walleye" will ever be available for the A-4?
Likely not in the near-term. Guided weapons need access to the SDK, which isn’t available for mods
👍👍👍
The music is like Top Gun,but with the soundtrack made by Madonna.
Thank you?
@@SportDCS Can it carry a 900 kg bomb on the centre line pylon?
@@Georgi_Slavov yes it can. The Mk84 2000lb
@@SportDCS thanks
a plethora?
yes, el guapo.
thanks for the video. But what are the two Shrike mode which can be seleted
Good video. Question, what map is this and where did you get it?
Awesome! Two questions. Can you please make a video tutorial for countermeasures use in the A-4? Second can you please ask the community dev team if they'd be ok with the A-4 being an AI only asset by default in DCS? That we they can be included everywhere. Plus i spoke to Chizh or Nineline once a while back asking them the same thing. They said yes, they just needed a nod from the community Dev team and it's a go!
I think the team has talked with ED about adding the model to the base game, but there are some barriers that are keeping it from happening. It’s truly a shame, but hopefully someday it gets worked out!
As for a countermeasures tutorial, that’s a great idea. I might wrap it up into a broader “guide to combat” or “tips and tricks” video down the road
@@SportDCS Awesome! And what are some of the barriers keeping it from being added like that?
Kinda wish they’d make this an official module.
Part of what this mod so amazing is there’s no strings attached! Enjoy!
I mean, it's free to use because it's not an official module
this is how training should be done.
i was wondering, is there any way to make the missile fire button separate from the guns fire button
Hey sport, do hills interfere with the ground radar's solution for computer bombing? I've built a mission around a pop up attack against an artillery firebase on a large hill. While I initially built it around a rockeye attack, I've been forced to switch it to rockets because for some reason, on this hill, LABS makes your bombs fall way past the target every time.
I wouldn’t say they interfere, but it’s certainly a factor. The slant range is dependent on where you grab the ground level, so if you grab it ahead or behind your intended target, and the elevation is significantly different, the weapon release computer will calculate for that point.
I have a bombing computer video coming out soon that goes over different techniques. Maybe I’ll include a section about hilly terrain.
Another factor could be your dive angle. Too shallow of a dive angle might not give a good target resolution for the radar and result in a mis drop.
Bombing is an exact science!
Can anybody answer me a qusetion ? im new and got a problem with my sidewinders + guns. when im in the "Bomb & GM arm" mode im supposed to fire my 20mm guns with the trigger and the missles with weapon release or ? but if i select 1 and 5 for sidewinders and got my 20mm loaded i allways shot both 20mm and Aim9 togehter with my triger, instead separated. is there a solution instead of allways turning of my pillons 1 and 5 if i just want to shot my 20mm ?
Is it normal for the guns to fire with the trigger when I use the Aim 9s? I have to either turn off my guns, or deselect GM ARM in order for my missiles not to fire when I use my guns
Does anyone know where that Island is? Is the range target there or do you have to add it? thanks...
why is this such high quality?
So you can only use the internal guns once? How does the nitrogen bottle thing work?
You get about 3 arming cycles with the nitrogen bottle on board. Every time you turn them “off” it clears the round from the breech.
@@SportDCS there's no timeout? We can just arm with master arm on and leave on until RTB?
@@Taipan303 yes, however when the gear handle is placed back down, the master arm connection is broken and the nitrogen bottle will eject the round and clear the chamber. I’m not entirely sure how it behaves in the module, but this could lead to a switch conflict and prevent the guns from working on subsequent sorties.
@@SportDCS awesome thanks! Given the attention to detail the team have always shown, I wouldn't be surprised if that is fully modelled. In my case I'll disarm both for landing anyway, since I'm planning to use the same 2-way switch for both.
Hey mate i have been scanning through epidemic sounds trying to get that intro song but i cant find it! its killing me do you remember the name of it? XD
If you mean the VHS intro tune, it’s called “Electric Mix” by Traci Bryan. Great 80s vibe!
@@SportDCS no sir before that the very very start!!! thanks for the reply!
That's where that fkn target is?!?!! Friggin hell I spent literally 4 hours, FOUR HOURS, doing run after run after run trying to figure out where they wanted me to hit by trial and error. Seeing how far I was off each time and trying to get closer and closer. I was positive it was those stupid white containers. Because the F10 communications menu to have them pop smoke on the target doesn't work.
The SEAD mission is also stupid as hell because they tell you not to launch until you are 10NM away, but at 15ish to 20ish NM the fkn SA site fires at you. I hate missions like that. You have literally NOWHERE to hide and do a popup attack either, because they start you on a carrier and direct you to the target entirely over the ocean...
that sead missile has no range, if you wait to get into range with it you die, and if you launch it from a longer distance it just falls out the sky at some point and does not hit its target
My shrikes are always just nose diving into the ground even if I have a tone when firing
Unfortunately they’re broken on ED’s end! Hopefully they get fixed soon
Thanks for the reply, I broke my brain for the past 2 hours trying to use them lol@@SportDCS
all my shrikes go always dumb as the one you fired at 10:40.. they do not loft and go down instead, I've tried 12.000ft, within 8nm and even closer.. I've never managed to make one work..dunno where's the problem :/
There’s currently a bug that prevents shrikes from working correctly. We’re going to have to wait until ED fixes the bug, or releases the new Shrikes with the configurable seeker heads
@@SportDCS how my god thanks! that's a relief for me.. i was getting crazy :D
Why do my shrikes just fall into the ocean? I think i locked the SAMS from the very high pitch.
There’s currently a bug with the shrikes where the seeker is inverted. When you get the tone, aim down so that you’re aiming “below” the target and squeeze the trigger. It should track this way
When I’m using the integrated guns when I click the trigger it just doesn’t shoots
Same thing is happening to me
@@magmafamwastaken well I just stopped using that plane for a bit but now it works
@@dalneg1078 dang
@@dalneg1078 Can you tell me the procedure to use the guns because i wanna know if im doing it right
@@magmafamwastaken sure wait 2 days that I come back home and I’ll send it to you
The gold standard.
this mod is nice kinda sad that there is a f4 officialy releasing
Different aircraft….
