From the GR Archives: Iran–Iraq War Dynamic Campaign

Leave a comment

We’re heading back into the Grim Reapers archives to revisit one of our older DCS campaign series — The Iran–Iraq War Dynamic Campaign.

Set during the Iran–Iraq War of the 1980s, this 11-part Desert Campaign follows the conflict as it develops mission by mission, with each episode building on what happened before.

The campaign begins with Day 1: Rude Welcome to the Region, before escalating into Tomcat hunts, major ground battles, tactical pushes and an increasingly intense fight for control of the desert.

Day 1: Rude Welcome to the Region

The opening mission throws us straight into the action and sets the scene for everything that follows.

We’ll be sharing some highlights from this first mission below, giving you a taste of the campaign before you head over to watch the full series.

Watch the Full Campaign

If you missed the Iran–Iraq War Dynamic Campaign when it was originally released — or simply fancy watching it again — the complete series is available to watch from the beginning.

Across the 11 missions, the situation develops continuously as both sides fight for control of the battlefield, making this a great campaign to binge from start to finish.

Could F-14 With JDAM Have Destroyed The Infamous Thanh Hóa Bridge, Vietnam In A Single Day? | DCS

Leave a comment

The upgraded F-14B(U) Tomcat has arrived in DCS World, bringing GPS-guided JDAM precision strike capability. That raises an interesting alternate-history question: could a small flight of modernized Tomcats have succeeded where 871 U.S. combat sorties during the Vietnam War failed?

In this mission, we recreate the infamous attack on the Thanh Hóa (Dragon’s Jaw) Bridge, one of the toughest targets of Operation Rolling Thunder. Armed with JDAMs, our F-14s must fight through intense AAA, deadly SA-2 surface-to-air missiles, and aggressive MiG-21 interceptors to deliver a precision strike.

Can modern precision-guided munitions rewrite history, or will Vietnam-era air defences prevail?
