The United States NEW Longest Range Missile SM-6 / Aim-174B Vs The F-22 Raptor | DCS |

I see everyone talking about being able to guide the 174's from different platforms. See if it's possible to cook up a mission to where there's an entire strike-fighter squadron of F/A-18Fs holding like 4-6 AIM-174s which are guided by an AWACS, F-35C, Patriot or something to conduct air patrol and take out an entire enemy fighter wall while a fleet of F/A-18Es conduct a strike on a nearby airbase, taken over city, or any enemy territory. This would be a pure NAVY Mission with all fighters including the AWACS taking off from a Super Carrier.

Chaffing not changing missile mind's 😅

I've always wondered in these scenarios why don't you take out the airborne radar first, thus greatly hampering OPFOR?

Do the missions from red storm rising

Heldentod! 😃

I remember way back in about 1984 or so brainstorming with a GMM shipmate of mine about if this could be done with the SM-2 ER like we carried on USS Preble DDG-46. Apparently we were ahead of our time but back then the F-14 and the AIM-54 Phoenix were still around. It was in the middle of a long Indian Ocean deployment and we had a lot of time on our hands for stuff like that!

I have to wonder how much these impact the performance of a F/A-18? Kind of makes you wish we had the Tomcat 21, if it could carry 6 Phoenix it could probably also carry 6 of the AIM-174.

Although probably not modeled accurately in DCS, I wonder how the changing aspect of the F-22 affects its radar signature. For example, does notching (giving the missile a side view) give that missile a stronger radar contact to track?

If he had a data link with a US Navy surface ship with the AN/SPS-49 air search radar it would give him a big help. That powerful L Band radar has proven pretty effective at detecting "stealth" platforms.

Day 3 of asking for A-10 Vs F-4 Phantom

Where the new MACO hypersonic mission at?

17 minutes with a f22 is really good

I'm still curious, if anyone has done any testing on a missiles ballistic coefficient, like bullets. I would think that a higher BC would make a missile more efficient and longer ranged, even in a low altitude engagement. This is from a guy that asked fighter pilots about the thrust to weight ratio of the missiles they carried! 😂

Why not 2 AMRAAM to start with?
(killing my ocd)

Day 31 of F-4 VS. Viggen

Question, I'm not a DCS player, Do all these fight scenarios start from a cold start every time? Some are BVR and others are the merge, do they just start each time in flight or on the ground?

That SM-6 is no joke!

If he had roughly double the MAR, why wouldn't he have let you close to that fire his last missile or two.... since you had to eventually. Maybe fire off an Amraam instead of that last 174 to fool you.

why both the sm-6 & amraam lofted even with such low & close distance launch?

Now I'm wondering what happens when you strap one of these missiles... on the Raptor. Or the F35. Maybe that could be a super interesting fight, F35 with SM-6 vs F22 with AMRAAMs.

im confused a 200+ mile missile barely runs out of steam at 30 miles at low altitude?

Awesome fight! Would love to see you play this from the F-18 Aim-174B side/

Would like to see all your videos at night in the mountains.

more R-37M vs aim174

I'd LOVE to see this same fight, but with the F-14 carrying the 174's instead.

You going to do amy vids on the Block III Hornet?

A real cat and mouse battle. You were "Iceman" and let the other guy make the mistake.

How can these missiles see the F-22 so well? Should their radar not be a lot less powerful?

You should have done this with a j20 instead of the raptor

Day 490 549th time asking for a reenactment of Sam City in the A6 Intruder from Flight of the Intruder, movie version. Talk to HeatBlur about their A6E.

2 hornets with Aim-174b's vs 1 Raptor would be spicy.

How are those things falling out of the sky at that range? The SM6 has a 150 mile range even when fired from sea level. At 30 miles is should still be coming down on you at mach 5.

Interesting video, though I think most of us know that no hornet or AWACS is getting a lock on a Raptor at the ranges it did here… seeing is one thing, a lock for tracking is another.
Fun to watch anyway!

If you shoot and notch you are actively dragging the bandit's missile out of the path of your Amraam.

Why do amramms have such low range?

You have very interesting videos of the new missiles. Please tell me. Where can I get mods for aircraft and missiles that you show in the videos? I would very much like to evaluate F-22 and F-18 with these missiles in TacView.

It's supposed to be super long range and 18 miles is still 'too far' for them? What is it supposed to hit at its stated max range? A stationary target on the ground?

The hornet should have fired the SM6s and then run away to show how it's not just more dangerous, but also more survivable.

can you get the Dark Star with mods ?

all this tech still dies from a lone f22

When the missile you're fending off has a bigger RCS than you...

China sending a mass fleet of ships and planes towards Taiwan, so a flight of B-52's loaded with AIM-174Bs up the wazoo, and Cruise missiles, defended by EA-18G Growlers with multiple F-35s on point as spotters, providing coordinates and all that, with an F-22 handling a rumored Russian Su-57 presence in the invasion.

Could have Super Hornets from a nearby US fleet providing additional air cover if needed, and the fleet itself providing tomahawks and harpoons.

F14b w AIM-54c. Vs f18 w AIM-174b

I wonder if the new Peregrines would be best for this sort of mission. You'd have a couple more shots.

GS hoping his AMRAAMs shoot down the AIM-174Bs makes me wonder if the Peregrine missile in development could be used as a self defense missile. Raptor could carry 4 AIM-260s and 4 Peregrines (assuming two Peregrines can fit where one AIM-120/260 is mounted), use the AIM-260s offensively, and maybe use the Peregrine to shoot down enemy missiles.

The F15EX would make the most of those 174B's. Long range radar, increased thrust, stronger airframe, all make those missiles more effective. 😁🤩

Super slugish hornet!

The problem with merely increasing the missile size, is that you also increase the missile's inertia. That means that the missile is going to want to keep going in whatever direction it's already going, which means that it's going to have a hard time hitting a small, manoeuvring target.

I wonder why the Obama Administration killed the F-22 production line............................................
