Everyone lags in the last hour, even you, so you're suggesting they ban everyone based on that? I'm sure pretty much everyone has had issues with opponents lagging after missile launches, just stop and think why does it mostly happen at the launch, not because they press a lag switch but because more data is getting processed when missiles are in the air computing intercepts. Nothing worse than people that have no clue what they are seeing so call hacks and escalate the furore and name calling, this is the biggest problem. Blue Flag is renown for this server instability, it is not the Buddy Spike teams fault it is down to DCS not being able to handle it. There is no other server running in the history of DCS 1.5 that has such huge mission load combined with a huge player count, this in turn increases the chances of lag and player desync exponentially. The only option is to reduce server load but this would take away a lot from what is the best thing in DCS at the moment. Yes it is frustrating but in regards to participating in such a heavy loaded server we live by the sword and die by it, the fact is the highs far outweigh the lows so lets just keep giving the BS team our full support on the great job they're doing improving this wonderful event.

I don't have a problem with balance it swings both ways but when there is no opposition that is just too easy. There is no place like it on Earth. Most have learned how to defend a base now, nevermind a triple base. Six AI spam, hoardes of SAMS, SHORAD, endless stingers, 5 min base repair, unlimited fuel, always a safe airbase for fighters to land and be immediately back in the fight. 30v7 doesn't matter, it would take some hardcore co-ordination to break that and in this open environment that ain't going to happen.

I had to get up at 7.30 this morning because Blue were capturing at a crazy rate being 8v0, I thought that bases couldn't be taken under such circumstances. Please, please, please can Red have a free run for several hours in at least round 8, tired of this free ride Blue get every round. :)

ED are not blocking export they are giving options to block for server owners. ;)

What about performance impact, I know there were some issues with a larger player base connecting to Aries, has this been tested or are there be no forseeable issues.

Nice watch. A real AWACS controller, next blue will be drafting in real pilots to stop the mighty 27T stomp. :D Providing we don't run out of wings.

Common sense would tell you something about this statement. No smoke without fire. The first time I flew the Mirage in the air to air quick start against 4 AI, I got hit 3 times but still splashed all the bandits. I've flown everything and been shotdown by everything in FC/DCS for over 10 years and something is definately not right with the Mirage damage model. Some complain about the MiG-29 but that is not a patch on this tank.

Sounds very much like desync, events from the server don't happen to him until much later. It has become quite common in DCS. For him to lose control and crash later on points to this not being any sort of invincibility etc. To say it has happened to the same guy on 3 seperate occasions is indeed suspect, most likely a serious issue with his connection. That being said ED really need to implement an IC in 1.5, not just for prevention of hacking but more importantly the prevention of random accusations.

Good to know we have excellent admins. :thumbup:

Server down btw.

I didn't fly that much yesterday but still feel bummed about flying after the server power out and resetting to day 1, can't start to understand how those guys that worked so hard must be feeling.:(

Yes and Kuznetsov with Peter the Great, Tors, Tunguskas etc. in a true all out Red v Blue bust up. None of the Mirages on Red or spawning at forward bases, A-10 only Blue, Ka50 red, Su25T both due to Georgia, Soviet Shorad for red only etc.

Doesn't this already happen with the EWR?

I don't think the OP regards himself as a beginner, after all he was instructing half the forum on their failure to understand the capabilities and use of R-27ER eight months ago. :D

I haven't watched the video yet but if he is firing missiles whilst flying without wings then i'd say that is 99% certain desync. Quit with the playground nonsense and start approaching this with an adult attitude. BS team will deal with this either way.

Sorry buddy but you can't just throw accusations out, there are plenty of plausiable reasons to explain what you describe. Get a tacview or track to verify your account and send it to the buddy spike admins, don't just throw mud around it is usually unfounded. The site is in the first post of this thread.

When you're low on fuel you are best climbing and getting as much altitude as you can, it is possible to glide as far as 50nm on an empty tank.

Blue AI do no wrong. The historical journals around tells us it was Red AI that apparently moved and hid units, use leavu, spy with externals, use alter egos, don'respect a GK, curse when their uber cm don't work, blame magic voodoo whenever you kill them etc. I nearly always say GK when the Blue AI kill me they never give it back though. :D Too many Blue AI in DCS these days, it has become all about how many kills they rack up and mockery rather than just enjoying the fight and respecting opponents. Bring back the love.

To be fair killing four AI is no easy feat, but when some pointed out the flaws in his approach he rather took the position of knowing best which makes you wonder what is the point of the thread, if it is a case of look how easy I despatch of AIs then well done you, but its as probably tactically taxing as killing space invaders, here have some advice.

You could put 8 AI up there and splash all 8 but you'll still have learned nothing especially using active missiles. The AI have no plan other than fly by themselves and press any hostile they see. The AI don't anticipate, co-ordinate or form any sort of multiship offence like what real players with a modicum of sense would try. This is basically target practice nothing more.

A10A is a 30/40 unit killing monster compared to 25 vanilla.

I guess a big part of it is stick set up, you can have all the intentions of pulling 5 or 6g but it just takes one brief spike from your stick to send your wings flying.

Yes we should have an all out hardware related op, that would be crazy fun.

Funny to hear the guy that made false accusations and complained about exploits now giving instructions of what aircrafts are on the apron at Vody and calling out missile launches etc. from external view after he died. :megalol:

Magical moment for me :D
