Seems that it's also with AIM-120C. Hit him first with AIM-120c only poof. But he was good. Then AIM-9 and again AIM-9 to finish him. It seems this happens when the missile comes from his rear end in an chasing shot. Any other shot causes is mostly catastrophic damage.

More and more people report a issue with the sidewinders or maybe the damage modelling. Yesterday i fired 4 AIM-9M Sidewinders from my Harrier at a Flanker. All 4 missiles hit! First two missiles i fired did minuscule damage. Rear aspect 1.5 miles away. First missile he did not maneuver at all. Second missile when he knew what was going on he did maneuver a bit, but not adequate enough. He could still fly normally. Two last missiles did enough damage to to make him smoke and to see parts flying from his plane. But he kept flying with barely no issue's. Next day i was flying the F-15. I got hit by a AIM-9 and had only minimal damage. I could feel the hit and see the explosion and should be a goner. But had no problem continuing with "all systems" still working. But i did had to trim out my plane a bit. Back at base the repair function did activate so i really had some damage. Is this normal behavior?

This harrier is more fun then i ever imagined. I only flown one other aircraft twice since it came out. These are the planes i'm waiting for. Fast, agile, modern and strike capability's. I'm very glad i bought it.

I used it yesterday. Seems to work fine for me. Maybe your speed is to slow?

Yes me and Zombiesnax did. We wiped out half a airfield SAM defenses, radars and launch platforms with sidearm and Mav's. One go's in as bait to lure them out the other targets them with Mav's or sidearms. You can consistently defeat SAM's from close range with the harrier. The only hard part is maybe finding the manpads. But you can just bring a A-10C for that job, it's more easy to find them with that plane and to mob everything up.

Ahh the classic off bore-sight shot. They can be painfully shameful when you don't expect them. Ow well at least you did not have a R-73 do a 180 on you yet.

I had no idea i would like it so much. Did not even touch the other planes since it's out. Thank you.

Noticeable performance drop in operation Leopard. More stutters then in any of the other missions.

Just posting this right away otherwise i forget it. Slot (AV-8B) Dodge 11 Mozdok is bugged. > You will spawn in free camera with no plane.

I had some idea's that might be possible to be implemented for better Gameplay experience. 1. Possibility to Re-arm/Re-fuel from FARP. 2. FARP's that can be randomly placed by choppers anywhere on the map. Possibility to spawn on those FARP's with choppers with late triggers. (No harrier spawns cause that would bring a to big advantage. But just the possibility for harriers to refuel and rearm there). 3. Possibility to destroy and/or capture FARP's (think that's already possible)

You guy's already have a Harrier mission prepared?

:lol: I am not knowledgeable enough to talk about any aircraft systems or flight models in detail. So i stay with Game/SIMplay :)

Good question. I don't know. Never thought to look there.

I know this seems like a very minor thing.. And actually it is. But it might be overlooked. How will the kill messages be displayed when you kill a F-14 online and it has two human players in the seats. I'll hope you will be able to see both names of the pilots you just killed. For extra satisfaction :) Thank you for your time and great upcoming module.

Yes this is a known bug. A temporary fix for now is to go to spectators and then choose your slot again after you died.

Ow so it's not on pinky (wheel break) anymore? Now i understand why it was not working for me. Man i was trying and trying to do sharp turns against this F-15 but instead i was in a 15 minute dogfight lock wondering why AoA override did not work as supposed to :D :D

To come back to my previous comment. The mission "Operation Able Archer V12" is the one where MIG-21 can not reach AWACS. I still have to find the second mission for that other bug.

That would be a bad solution making it even more unrealistic. Unless the real range is 1 or 2 miles.

Ow okay. I'm sorry. Did not understand that.

Ok then i'll have no clue why this happens and why the Mirage is harder to find on radar. Especially from rear aspect.

Go to axis tune > Throttle > And then check if the throttle axis go's all the way to the sides. Sometimes in my case the joystick is misaligned for some reason. Then ill have to close DCS and put my joystick in another USB or just reseat it.

*Sound starts to work at 15:26. Warning 3 hours video.* 8 kills 0 deaths. This is 4 sortie run on the 104th. I tried to get mostly BVR kills. My first kill was a astonishing 20 miles shot from angels 45 going around mach 1.7. My first victim was made. (In the video i say 30 miles. But after checking it was not.) During those fights i see a lot of traffic in and around the airfield, and witness some good fights around me. In one run i take some serious damage. I was trying to be smart with a Flanker. So after chasing him i turned my radar of and and tracked him only with the AIM-9 seeker head. But he has datalink. He turns around and we fire at the same time. His missile barely missed me. I was sure i was a goner. But it was my lucky day. I survived with major failures and some big scratches on the wings. Go see if i make it home. Sorties: 4x Fighter Sweep. Kills: 8 Deaths: 0 Longest kill: 20 Miles Closest kill: 1 mile. Intentions: Long range BVR engagements with sporadic WVR. Entertainment factor: Booooring with some very sweet action and views included. And maybe you see yourself going down. Special thanks to the viewers watching most of the live stream. 20:37 First Kill. 2:01:12 Kill but hit as well. RTB Required.

Mirages can defeat missiles all day. And they barely have to do anything for it. I have seen them defeat all my missiles from ranges 12 miles to 1 mile with barely any input. And i'm pretty sure it's because of the RCS. And lots of times you can't even find him back while he is 5 miles in front of you (hot/cold). All the other planes you can re-acquire pretty quickly. Head on shots are the worst in my experience. There is definitely something fishy going on.

Hey guy's. In one of the missions the MIG-21 can't rearm. You alway's have to fly to Krymsk first. And with one other the MIG-21 is unable to talk to the AWACS or the AWACS to us. You could argue that i dont know exactly how the radio works, cause i'm new to MIG-21 But i did check this with Icegryphon and LazzySeal. I do not remember the name of the missions anymore sadly.
