Moose_Jaw Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 Hi gents, first of all please accept my apologies for this post. I am not really sure where to post it. Recently I was doing a bit of a desperate cap and ended up defending Beagles gunning down a Fulcrum while running on fumes. I announced my desperate fuel state and when I ran out of fuel the Beagles tried to push my Tomcat, however it ended up in a mutual fireball. For any bloody reason they did not want to abandon me and my RIO. The 4 gents (2Beagles x 2 Crew members) claimed that a Sabre (?) pushed another Sabre home. Is it possible to push a Tomcat in DCS and does the game engine allow that? Cheers 1
Cab Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 Yes, the Sabre thing did happen in Korea. A similar event happened in Vietnam with two F-4s (Google Pardo's Push“) I have no insight on whether it can be done in DCS. 2
scommander2 Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 (edited) I am not sure that F-14 front canopy is stronger than F-4 for pushing... Can F-4 do the pushing in DCS? It is very questionable. Maybe HB can answer the question.

Dragon1-1 Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 I don't think DCS supports that, however I would very much appreciate if HB included some special code to recreate Pardo's push. Currently, fireballs ensue anytime anything touches in the air. And yes, IRL two Sabres could also do this by sticking the tip of one jet's nose into the other's tailpipe. 2

draconus Posted February 14, 2024 Posted February 14, 2024 I'm pretty sure the external force from other aircraft is simply not modeled even if you could turn off damage model. Maybe one day. 3 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Moose_Jaw Posted February 14, 2024 Author Posted February 14, 2024 Thanks chaps for the replies! @draconus I am with you, it looks like that the external force is indeed not modelled, that gent in the GR-Video reported no speed change. I feel so sorry for the 2 Beagles who got wasted by the attempt. Cheers! Moose 2
Tom P Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 Each aircraft has a different size hit box so you really don't touch but you can see it happen and then bad things happen if you stay there to long haha. I did this recently and stuck my nose between the engines and watch the rear control surfaces freak out so I backed off. null 1
