That would be nice to be able to : NOT be the squadron leader. :thumbup:

ED, please can you update the DISTR folder with the correct Visual C++ package ? Thanks !

Sebas1977, i don't thing the customer harrasment is boring. I've been working in a sporting good company with a huge reputation ( Tippmann sports in Paintball) but also prone to delay and early batch quality issue and i had my share of "when are you going to release this?" type of question. Tho they is pressure on dates, it is delighting and motivating to see customers font of your stuff.

To steam users : TWO MORE WEEKS :music_whistling:

Check out the volume of aaa/shorad in a russian MRD. I don't think they'll get low and dirty. :music_whistling: i hope we'll never figure this one out...

No one is talking about the most #1 important thing in DCS : Radar Cross Section. How is the m2000 ? The reason mig21 can bang f15 without much pain is the low RCS, nearly 10 fold lower than eagles and flankers. It allow to dodge amraam and radar detectiln really easily when you know your stuff. i'm not een mentionning the mountains, as the low rcs allow fun tuff even above the sea :P i actually don't fear much the mirage. 4 pylons, that isn't much stuff to dodge. Once within R3R range (Pk=0.9), mirage is dead meat. it will come down to the mirage bvr missile Pk, and to the mirage RCS. Once mirage is locked by mig, its too late. If i had to drive the mirage against mig, i wouldn't rely too much on those fancy corner speed charrs and aerodynamic marketing campaign. I would either try to get kill from range, or try to sneak around. An head on merge is the last thing you wanna do against migs 21. edit : at least, on the beauty point of view, mirage is clearly above :P

Ok feet, sorry, i was tired. this imperial stuff should be banned worldwide :music_whistling: Point is still valid with 12000ft anyway ! And that not me that says they must be a hard deck for CAS. That was the rule in the gulf. nowaday you don't fly below 12000 unless you are doing a safari against some insurgents. Just open any to&e an you'll undrstand why.

Destroying f15 in a mig is no prblem ... so mirages.... :D :music_whistling:

In wa, do ou expect tanks to sit in the open ? DCS is already ridiculouly empty of any ground clutter compared to real life.... are you really expecting a defense brigade to stay on apron and be like " hey shoot me ? "

Where on hell would you use he gau-8 to begin with? As a reminder, hard deck are in effect in wr, mening your little gau-8 is resrained at firing from ABOVE 12000 meters. Unless all shorad stuff is destroyed and you are fihting in the desert, your gau-8 is just useless untill the war h come dow to COIN. :music_whistling: (check irak report for more info) sorry for typo, i'm in my bath, with that damn tiny tablt keyboard :P)

Active missile debate has no point, really. Check out 104th tournaments results and tacview and you'll see that competition between the two plane is very, very tight. You don't need active missile or even ambush tactics to keep the f15 at bay. F15 and su27 are both the same level. Take advantage or russian hardware instead of trying to fly the thing like a f15 :P and check out those tacview files, youll get confidence back

No need to talk plane unless the pilot issue has been solved. I'm sure half of the blue players haven't even meet anything else than AI fighters :P

How about just limiting capture when server population is more than 70% off ?

Fightinh f86 and hawks are a good start.

My computer is dead and i haz 12hours/day at work this month so i cannot help immediately. Ere is the thing to start with : mig21 is no bvr. Its radar is just here to shoot he missile. . it could eventually be used to scan, but only in gen3 fighter battle. In modern combat, just keep it as a fire control systm, not a sensor. So you are down to visual search, then once you find something, start your radar, lock and shoot. Using radar to detect is absolutely dangerous in gen4 environnement. If you have information on a contact, you can use it to spot it, but only if you are sure you are pointing the radar at something you intent to fire rapidly. Alone, mig21 shall be used as a ambush fighter. As a squdron it can easily be used as a frontline fighter with appropriate techniques.

Absolutely wrong. Single life has not fknancial advantage. Except if your wife is not working. Being two, getting two paycheck but sharing food/house is a huge financial advantage. If you ae single, your food expense are slightly less, but house still here for only one payroll. :P Your argument is however valid for "time", instead of "cash" ;)

Text chat is way wayyy enough to coordknate flight. Whisper just drove our squadron nut we got rid of it. While voice chat is pertinent within a flight, when you want to send a huey to a place X you dont really need voice comm. Voice comm may actually be counter productive, since not all people have enough skill to talk/lsten, while they can perfectly read english. mportant message should get teamtexted. Sorry for the poor writing, i'm on mobile device since computer is down. :(

Nope. A10 primary weapon is NOT the gau8 and it will just not fire that much round either. during gulf war, A10 had an hard deck of 10000+ for a good part of the conflict and rounds fired over all the conflict were 100/plane/sortie. They mostly used missiles and bomb. Data comes from the usaf report. nowaday usage in small counterinsurgency "wars" isn't demosntrative of anything except it would be a perfect COIN plane if it wasn't that expensive. Take real report from large wars if you want an opinon.

That was an epic story. Luckily, my wife is a good match for me, she rarely check out the expense as she is a gamer too. I usually make sure that whatever money i waste in PC sim, she has enough cash flow to buy what she likes too.

Only Patriots and Hawk systems, i'm afraid :P

Found myself circling above a FARP, thinking I was merged with a F15 :P We were flying in the middle of nowhere and were not expecting sam there :D Hopefully that was a friendly farp and we did catch an F15 - because we were in panic mode we noticed a far away contrail :D

IR view would be awesome ...

instead of lives per dude, how about simple plane count ?

[(red) troll ON] Since you are part of that blue mafia that only flies when red are sleeping, you aren't causing much place availability problem :P :P :P

LOL
