My first F-16 Viper multiplayer mission in DCS… and it was intense.
This was Operation Georgian Clapback Phase II, flown with the team at Virtual Weapons Academy. I was flying CAP as Skywatch with Xero while the rest of our Vipers, callsign Punch, ran SEAD on Maykop. Three Hornets hit Anapa, and we had just 30 minutes before Russian Bastion-P launchers could target the USS George H.W. Bush carrier group.

Between heavy SAM coverage, enemy SU-27s, and me still learning the F-16’s systems on the fly, this mission tested everything.

If you’re looking for a great place to train and fly with like-minded Digital Combat Simulator pilots, check out Virtual Weapons Academy — friendly environment, serious learning.
