Tiramisu Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I never thought it would be possible in DCS, but apparently you can use your afterburner as a weapon against lightly armored targets like trucks. Watch the tacview replay at 12 minutes and 20 seconds: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-YxV13fvtmDQSMJle4A3uR8s0hvcqklH/view?usp=sharing You can see how I have burnt two Ural-375 trucks with my Mirage-2000 in one go without firing any weapons.

But, the Texan part of me is crying heresy at the idea of grilling without charcoal. Reformers hate him!

Tiramisu Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 I watched the acmi...LOL...amazing Was that planned or by accident ? It was an accident, but still it feels good to be in the exclusive club of afterburner killers. :police:
DeltaMike Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Apparently afterburner has been used as a weapon, saw something on TV where an F16 pilot was called for CAP but couldn't locate enemy or friendly forces. So he dove for the deck and popped it into afterburner. Apparently it sounds like an explosion when it lights up. So he's going supersonic straight down, and apparently surmised if he pulled up quickly enough, the shock wave would have enough momentum to impact the ground. That's what he did; the troops on the ground said it sounded and felt like a bomb went off. Enemy dove for cover giving the friendlies just enough time to skeeedaddle Ryzen 5600X (stock), GBX570, 32Gb RAM, AMD 6900XT (reference), G2, WInwing Orion HOTAS, T-flight rudder
