This Interceptor has a Nuke! | DCS VSN F-106 Delta Dart Mod First Look

an Interceptor that can carry a nuclear tipped missile which can take out a formation of bombers yes it's the f106 Delta Dart one of the most formidable interceptors of its time though it was never used in combat but is now available as a mod in DCS world for all of your interception needs hey guys anels here and in this video we will be taking a look at the vssn f106 Delta Dart from startup to we employment as well as have a brief look into its history all right let's get into it the f106 Delta Dart also known as the 6 was a very capable all-weather Interceptor designed for the US Air Force it was designed by conw in the fear of a possible attack from Soviet longrange bombers its design actually strives from the f102 which was a mediocre Interceptor at best the f106 was ually built around the new Fire Control System which was very Advanced for the time with the capability of guiding the aircraft to the opal attack position it was a pure Interceptor it didn't have guns and wasn't designed to dog fight and neither could it carry bombs it has an internal weapons base so it has better supersonic performance it can hold four air-to-air missiles as well as a nuclear tipped rocket the design did come quite late however since the Soviet frets switched from long range bombers to icbms a total of 342 were made and it was only operated by the United States all right that's enough history let's get into the aircraft we will be taking off from Anderson's Air Force Base and intercepting a flight of Russian bombers we will be loaded with four a4s and a genie missile all right so we are in the cockpit of the f106 Delta Dart we are here at Anderson's Air Force base it's an early morning and we are tasked to intercept a Russian bomber formation so let's start off with the startup and it's just like flaming Qui free so we're just turning on the electronics and then we can do engine start there it is we're going to close the canopy so it's not that loud now we're just going to wait for the engines to spool up the the cockpit quality is um is not amazing for a free mod it's okay it's like flaming qu free so nothing is clickable and I'd say it's about that quality little worse now after the Flaming qu free update but it's still okay um it is an external flight model so the flight model is quite precise I would say but uh yes so the internal textures are not that great the external model is I think absolutely Ely fantastic uh texturing could be of course better but I'd say overall it's a pretty good mod for what it is so the engine engine is ready and that's it with this aircraft we are now ready to taxi and take off so what we're going to do is we're going to press the wheel brakes just in case if there's a parking break I'm not quite sure I'm going to start taxiing now on the ground it is uh uh itth you can't tip it over at least I haven't gotten there yet goon tip it over Runway let's turn off that nose wheel steering so you do have to hold down a button to do nose wheel steering and it is it is very easy to taxi on the ground now this is a older a different variant of the F16 there was an f106 variant without this roof bar so that kind of is limiting visibility as well as just the front when you don't really have a straight line you have to kind of offset yourself to even see uh where you're going also if you would have a Target head on but then you can see it even though this aircraft is not designed for dog fighting so you should you should never really be in that situation and um neither really is it designed for dog fighting nor can it except if it's for uh air to a a4s which are not amazing missiles going be taking off right into the sun which won't be nice for visibility but um it's going to be fine we might get blinded my pilot does not have sunglasses right let's line up here and the video breaks there we've stopped let's turn off just players Communications all right so we're just going to there is no flaps on this plane no flap controls so all we have to do is really go full throttle and take the landing air up and we've taken off so let's go push the engine to M power and release bre braks going put it into After Burner 11 unable to clear for takeoff n okay I didn't turn him off that's not important we're off the ground landing gear up and we are flying fast over Anderson's Air Force Base all right now we're going to fly towards the bombers bombers should be in in this general direction I'm not quite sure the heading I didn't get that in the mission briefing so we're going to have to do a little bit of a hunt for them all right we're going to go into this weapons mode and we can swap our weapons and see them down there now the a the there's two IR guided aim fours and there is also the genie missile which is all which also has the um sign Winder tone which will also signal you for launching it I'm guessing that's limitation also of fc3 because um of weapons limitations so that's probably why it has a side Winder tone but we'll use it and try to use it the best of our abilities here might just have to get a little bit too close for it to get the lock now let's check where are we flying so we are on an intercept course with the bombers 12,000 let climb up higher the bombers are somewhere off to our left oh I have a visual on formation let's uh swap to our Genie missile open up our uh we Bay so the missile doesn't launch into our own aircraft and destroy ourselves now we just have to find that direction and hope it gets a lock so we'll see how it works and how many of these planes it takes out it should be able to take out uh a bomber formation that would that's what it was designed for so we'll see if it's capable of doing that come on not quite short where should I put point my nose for it to get a walk but it will be working off of a radar walk I think it's a fox to when it does get find the Target and there's a Target uh let's launch missile let's turn away oh we're way too close we shouldn't be this close boom Oh that's all eight planes destroyed wow that looks beautiful in a sense that's just pure destruction and that's the genie for you guys as you can see it's a very powerful missile it might be too overpowered for DCS as well as there wasn't the nuclear flash which would be in real life we would get blinded but uh that uh that is destruction yeah we're not seeing this being implemented into multipler anytime soon so this was the vssn f106 mod it's a very specific aircraft with way only one Mission I think it's worth trying out if you really like the aircraft and just want to get as close as you can to Flying it with what we currently have available in DCS world or if you just want to destroy an entire bomber formation with one missile let me know what you think of the mod in the comments and also any videos you would like to see with this aircraft all right that's it for me and I will see you guys next time bye
