Is this normal behavior?: 1. TWS solid track to Jammer when locked. 2. Long range detection of enemy aircraft past 80 miles. In this video you only see 1 target coming from past 80 miles t angels 1. But i have seen groups of fighter targets that i can detect and track every move from 80 to 90 miles. Most of the ones i see are jamming. But sometimes i can even bug them from 80+ miles. Is this normal? Why are some jammer targets always seen as Jammer stropes, but others are seen as solid tracks until you lock them? Is it normal i can detect fighter sized targets from over 80 miles in DCS? The weird thing is that i can not do this in every mission. And this is recently. *I have been tracking these guy's like this from 80+ miles, but was to late with recording. These are fighter targets. I tracked them till i got radar ID.*

Let me make my own topic for this.

Here it is. But only 1 fighter sized target just entering 80 miles in this vid. I did track them till i could get a radar ID on it. That's why i know it where fighters.

I have noticed this is not true anymore. At least not in all situations. for some strange reason on some missions on the 14th i can track up to 6 bandits at 80+ miles with altitudes ranging from on the deck to angels 30. And i can see there every move in TWS. They show as clean contacts. But when locked on in TWS or STT it go's to HOJ mode??? (but sporadically i can still TWS them when not in jammer form that distance i'm not sure if this is suppose to be like this, or just a new recent feature. But as i said. This only happens in certain missions i do not remember the name off. I will put up a video later on.

The AWACS are not invincible. But the Refuel planes are. If you try to kill the RED AWACS it can be confusing cause the red AWACS will be Identified as IL-76 instead of A-50. Back in the day's about a year ago the Russian AWACS still showed as A-50 on radar ID. The Blue AWACS is still shown as E-3 doh.

Wouldn't it be a nice idea to have skins for veteran 104th server pilots in your skin pack? or does that require a slot to be reserved like the 104th squadron slots already in the mission. Otherwise it would be a nice idea for ED to maybe make it possible to assign skins by player ID or Player name. Example: - 104th admins decide to add personal skins for regular pilots in their pack. - They add a line into the mission files/scripts.

It seems you totally missed the point most of us where trying to make. It's not about the price. They deserve that amount of money for their good work. It's also not about eh WWII Normandy map or assets. It's about the future where we will have 10 maps and 10 asset packs and about new people joining. And after playing DCS World free they have to cash out the jackpot to fly Campaigns, single missions and to play on the most popular servers cause they use some or all extra maps and DLC assets. And the people that are not so fortunate to go out and buy all the MAPS and assets DLC's and they actually have to choose what they want and maybe not want. But with making that choice they also choose at that moment with who they will play and not play. I think a nice direction would be that anybody with a plane should be able to play anything the others are playing as well. Off course this will never be entirely possible. But there is a fear that that something like that might happen. And that fear is not totally unfounded. We are not being bitchy or ungrateful and we should certainly not be ashamed to ask questions in a polite way. Otherwise just make a forum where you can not respond and just like on Facebook only can give thumbs up. There always will be irrational questions and demand... Just state facts and or a well founded opinion, and if they not listen just ignore them. I already got the answers so i wont be adding more to this discussion. Now i have to go choose what WWII plane i want to buy cause i will buy Normandy and assets for sure.

I tried lots of time to run from WVR fights and find windows that always works... My suggestion.. Don't run. You will get killed. Unless very lucky. Or if you know the enemy has visually lost you can give it a try. But if that happens you better decide to kill him.

Who are you to say that... I don't have any WWII pack. And i'm waiting for a while now for the right moment to jump in. If this guy brings his hypothetical WWII dynamic campaign i would buy all the ED DCS WWII modules right away and eat noodles the next month. And i know a "lot" of people who would do the same. (not the noodles doh)

Probably because people still buy it because they want to play with their friends. For now this works. Now imagine there are 10 maps and 5 different unit packs. A era pack would be very nice doh. Just buy a 60/70 Euro era pack with units and maps and a module of that era of choice.

I already explained perfectly why it's not a win win situation on the long run. But it seems that got ignored. And server owners will be forced at the end not to choose what is the best.. But what brings the most people, excluding other people because they don't have asset pack number 8 or carrier pack 3. Imagine you bought the F-18 thinking .... "Yes i can now fly on all servers that include F-18C". But noooo To enter that server you need to buy asset pack 3, 6 7, and 8. If you are a DCS vet you maybe already have pack 6 and 7. So okay.. no biggy you buy the other pack as well. A month later the server decides to include asset pack 4 as well.. Now he is "forced" to buy that as well otherwise he can not play on his favorite server. But now imagine a new player comes into DCS. Buy's F-18C. Wants to join a vanilla server cause he does not have pack 1 to 20, but there is only maybe 20 people in it. And the other 10 vanilla servers only have 5 to 10 people. So he decides to join the other 3 popular servers..... All of them using different official ED DLC. Bammmm now he needs to put down 400 dollars to be able to play on a popular server, or stay with minimum player base on the other 100 vanilla server with 5 or maybe 20 players in it. Or when that guy wants to play with his friends he also has to go buy all asset packs if his friends don't want to play vanilla DCS or he will be left behind when they switch over. it's going to be harder and harder to find people to play with. Already now new people have difficulties to find the right server or friends that are able to create a server for their module. I have no doubt that DCS WWII is going to be amazing and worth the wait. But the issue will still persist.

This has barely anything to do with the Normandy map. So i'm very surprised i'm asked to come and discuss this here polluting this threat with this worry about splitting community. I would like to apology's for the people making Normandy and the assets that i have to come and discuss this here and pollute the forum here with these thoughts and worries. The Normandy map and assets are very amazing.

No, the flyable aircraft don't fracture the community cause if you have plane B i can still fly with you with plane A. That won't work for maps and extra assets. I don't really mind the price and stuff.. They have to eat as well. What i do mind is that when i buy those maps/assets is that others that don't have it won't be able to play with me. That i have to ask them every time.. "Do you have this and this asset" or that you have to keep jumping servers or wait for 3 hours on another mission because they don't have certain assets. Or that new players have to buy 400 dollar of maps and assets just to fly on server 2 of 104th or to fly with a friend that does have all the assets. Cause that friend would be a fool not to play with all those assets after paying so much money. So he will be inclined to say nah i go to server 2 where everything is available and leave his friend behind 8 out of 10 times. Also finding people with the same assets as you will be more difficult. Example: Out of 3 carriers you might have carrier 1 or 2.. But your friend only has carrier DLC 3 on map number 6 with asset pack 8. That is how it will look like in 4 years. And yes that does fracture the community.

I'm kind of worried about the DCS community with all these extra maps and asset packs. The community is being fractured now cause at the end only a few will have all the maps and asset packs that are about to come out. They are making a small community even smaller by cutting them in pieces. DCS maps should come with a big DLC update or something for a extra 20 Euro's. And the map tools should be released for the public so they can make their own addon maps for free like in ARMA 3. Cause right n ow it will look like that in 4 years we will have 10 extra maps for 50 Euro's each. And 3 different carriers you have to buy. So everybody will have a different game. Only a limited amount of people will have all those 10 maps and extra assets. This will especially be felt in Multiplayer. I already warned before of this fracturing of the community because of this. I personally think they should concentrate on Modules and let the assets and maps be community addons unless ED makes assets and maps to add to the vanilla game as a cheap update/DLC. I'm not able to buy Nevada for a freaking 50 Euro's and then Normandy as well. I have and others have to carefully choose where to spend our money. IF this was a super big community this would not even be that bad. But as example lets take 104th.. When DCS will be merged into 2.5 they probably going to cycle maps. I will bet that every map cycle different then the vanilla map will cause 20 people to drop every time. I fear at the end that 20 players will be on this map, 20 other on some other map and of those 40 players 15 of them will not have one of the asset packs or Carriers. SO at the end you will be playing with 15 players online and some of your friends can't play cause they are not that rich that they can keep buying maps, modules and assets. Maybe just make DCS World a only single player game.. The net code is crap anyway, It can't even handle hundreds of assets on the map without crapping out on a server with 50 players or more. And when a couple scripts run it will get even more unstable.

I apologize for my tone.

Sorry why limit MIG-21 radar missiles... If you can not defeat them you need more practice. I thought this was red flag... Not red limit flag. I can defeat multiple AIM-120C with F-5 easily. Having no radar missile for MIG-21 brings them in huge disadvantage. Maybe the pilots that complain about MIG-21 radar missile should play FC3 a bit more... Cause it seems they have no clue on how to defend in a full fidelity module. They say FC3 is easy mode. But it seems FC3 actually learns you how to survive and they are to dam busy to learn turning switches then actually fly and fight. And they still call FC3 easy mode haha. But FC3 actually makes all the rest easy mode. FC3 is very good in practicing these things and show you clearly what to do and what not to do.. Cause it seems the people asking for these limitations don't know how to yet. If you can not interpret the RWR and warning tones in the F-5 it's your own fault.. Cause its kind of straight forward... When you get warning you defend right away. When you see a MIG-21 in outer ring you better start your maneuvering cause he will be very close really soon. 90% of people complaining and want limitations is because their own bad SA or the lack of knowledge about the capability's from the planes they fight against, and the lack of reacting properly to the threat. I myself fly the F-5, and the MIG-21 radar missile is the least of my worries. 99% of the time if i get killed is because of the heat seekers and guns. So maybe a good idea to limit the guns and heat seekers on it as well. Sorry for the rant... But i can not stand this limiting everything behavior. Unless it's totally necessary. You fight with what you have... and if you are not good at it maybe put some more time in it before joining a red flag tournament.

In my opinion Rage is correct. ER's are very very bad. To the point it's not even funny fighting against them anymore. Cause you know you are going to make the merge 99% of the time. And the only way they kill me is because of my dam impatience and cockiness. And because i'm playing with them half the time trying to see if i can merge with AIM-7 or TWS them with AIM-9. Or sometimes i feel like practicing my gun skills and i just go for it without any fear for ER's. Something needs to be done. We are losing players this way. Very good players.

LoL doesn't really matter what you do. F-15 still has advantage. Pretty easy to close in to a flight of six Flankers and TWS them with AIM-9 and get the seventh with AIM-7. To give the Flankers more chance to win we have to decrease the speed of the F-15 to below Mach 1. Or to finally fix the guidance of the ER.

LoL my BFM in the F-5E is shiiiit and my AIM-9p5 shots are terrible.. I was lucky he was distracted a bit.

Goodness gracious great balls of french fries!!!

Did a long range intercept on the 104th server using the F-5 Tiger. With the help of AWACS i kill two strike planes. And successfully RTB. On the way home i get shot by something.. And i still don't know what or who. My plane catches fire and my gear is damaged i noticed on landing. So i make a nice belly landing.

I'm pretty sure it's added as well. Also it's the exact same chaff flare announcement as in Falcon 4 Allied Force F-16. So i's probably a legit announcement.. But if i'm correct the Bitching Betty in a F-15 does not sound like this at all.

Only merge with 75% internal fuel or less. Watch out for off boresight shots. Keep energy high.
