Lol well... Red Wins the current test.

Yeah but red now has Mig21's AND Mirages, The mig21 might be on equal terms with the F5 but the Mirage should basically always win.

Yeah, blue team is screwed now, half of their CAP was mirage's, so now basically all of their cap has to fly 30-45 minutes(cause whose gonna fly an F5 vs a SU27 lol)... Oh well, I'm sticking with my Mirage so will be going Red. Kinda sucks cause that's the only module I fly on Red but oh well.

Was fun, hoping for far fewer night missions next round, felt like 75% of games were some kind of night or crappy weather, fun once in a while, but evidently we were in monsoon season in georgia this round.

I just want to be clear, I still the KA50 is a problem, Blue has been able to overcome it again with massive numbers superiority( saw 40-3 the other night lol), but whenever red has even numbers they are able to stop blue in their tracks and take everything that took 40 blues to take. Also can we do something about the freakin 10 mig29's that spawn out of pak1 if you go anywhere near one of those three airbases?? Crappy F-4's aside, I don't remember seeing 10 of them spawn at once when Red took tblisi et all.

@Bignewy, something I have noticed, is that if I have Google Chrome running in the background DCS will crash very often. Since I started playing without Google Chrome running I have experienced very few, and often no crashes while playing. I am wondering if the game is trying to access memory that Google Chrome(which we all know hogs memory like a fat kid with chocolate cake) is using and that causes the game to crash.

Blue team has always been filled with noobs, just while it was 30vs10 players the non noobs could cover for them, in reality it was more like 10vs10 because 20 players would be off doing god knows what. Now that red was able to get even and superior numbers it's not a surprise they crushed blue quickly.

Looks like its all over, only 3 bases left to go. Won't take long, by the end of the day probably.

Welp, looks like blue has surrendered.

I could down an entire FARP with an F15 if the skies were clear.... the whole point is that the KA50 can do it when there are 15 buzzards flying overhead.

You are one in a million man, I have watched A10's zerg themselves on FARPS for hours sitting in my huey on the ground waiting for them to blow stuff up.

Wasn't around for that campaign, so without knowing the rest of the conditions I can't disagree/agree with you. From what I understand it was not NATO vs Russia though so whatever specific combination you had on redfor may have worked very well......and I am guessing you also had the KA50 since you fly that pretty exclusively from what I understand... soo common thread again is the KA50 wins games.

Lol @ people comparing KA50 to the A10C. A10's can't get anywhere near a base or farp unless they have at least 4-5 CAP in the area lest they be shot down by AI mig29's or enemy players. I saw 2 Mig29 players suppress 2 a10's and 4 CAP mix of F15's and Mirages. As a helo pilot I can tell you we are almost impossible to find if flown correctly, I have been shot down a total of 3 times since I started flying the Huey, and 2 of those were because I got too close to a farp with Shilkas/Strelas and they sniped me out of my cockpit. If I could carry the kinds of weapons a KA-50 can I would easily destroy anything I wanted undetected. I have snuck troops up close but they don't seem to be able to actually take out anything--if troops could take down base defenses I would be able to take anything I wanted in a Huey easily. As it stands I have to sit and wait for hours sometimes for CAP/CAS in jets to clear the base out. I'm not saying it takes no skill to kill everything in a KA50, just that its a lot easier than it is in the A10 since you have far fewer obstructions.

I'm not really impressed. Its become clear that Red only needs 1 Ka-50 and 1 Mi-8 to take down anything. 1 Gazelle and 1 Uh-1 cannot even come close to that, meaning blue has to wait for jet-based CAS which means they require CAP to accomplish anything. I have been flying helo missions a lot with some other helo pilots and even with 2 gazelles we often struggle because the KA-50 simply has way more, and better missiles(laser-guided vs wire guided). Add in the fact that the Mirage was crippled for a while, and literally all of the Red fighters that ever in the air(can't remember the last time I saw a mig21) are FC3 aircraft and I have finally figured out why Blue team has had such a hard time taking bases. I also want to add that the Blue AI air defenses, the F-4 Phantoms are ****ing awful compared to the Mig-29 AI's that the Red team get.

Might be even if bluefor had Apache, then we could solo(well duo I guess since it needs a copilot) bases/farps like the Ka-50 can

Funny how you had no problem with the mirage when it was completely crippled(STT bug and couldn't launch IR missiles at all) but now that it can actually kill things its suddenly an issue. And it doesn't seem to be helping at all either! Red team is currently pushing to win despite a numbers advantage to for blue which still to me tells me that Red has some sort of massive advantage.

Uhh, that Mirage looks plenty airworthy to me. Has all of the important control surfaces left(at least the ones I can see in the screenshot). Also I hope that is not an AI mirage because that AI ones use SFM.

I have two requests for features: Basically I would like to be able to play an audio source, music, combat information, etc from my desktop(outside of the game) to any frequency of my choosing. This might not be possible? As an addendum, maybe make it possible to set multiple audio in/out sources? Or at least let me switch them on the fly. Second: I would like to be able to tune into channels from the selection screen somehow, the only way this can become a complete replacement for teamspeak is if we can listen to radio channels when we are not actually in an aircraft as that helps coordinate missions(what aircraft are needed and where to launch from, etc).

YOU'RE WELCOME BLUE. 4-Ship HELOS REPRESENT. Thanks to all the CAP and CAS tonight guys!!

I am kind of burned out on this at this point. Last night somehow two Mig29's were able to stop us from taking anything-- I don't know if our pilots just suck or what but the fact that Blue can't take ANYTHING even with the giant imbalance of numbers is telling me there is some kind of massive disparity in balance between red and blue. Either Red has some kind of giant advantage(part of me thinks its the KA50 due to experienced players and the fact that it is way more capable than anything blue has helo wise), or simple because all of the aircraft they have have been out for a very long time means everyone flying on red is very experienced. Watching 4 Red CAP take out 10 blue CAP is just depressing. And lets not forget that the second most popular CAP aircraft(the Mirage) is crippled on blue right now, while the RED team has ALL FC3 Aircraft and they all work perfect and have simple systems because they are FC3--so yeah the blue team has the F15, but its main advantage-the Aim120 is disabled on this server. To be honest it would be way more fun with a "Vietnam" era setup where the Su27 F15 and Mig29 were disabled, and the Mirage was on both sides. At least then it would be all full-fidelity aircraft.

Absolutely agree. I sometimes play late at night when theres only 5-10 blues vs 5-10 reds and since its not a cluster**** of noobs that aren't on comms or are just playing airquake its sooooo much better. I'd switch to red in a heartbeat if they had the mirage, but thats my favorite aircraft right now(I fly huey occasionally out of neccesity for missions) and even though its pretty crippled right now that's what I want to fly most of the time and its not on red.

No kidding. If they don't fix that the Aim54's will basically be worthless.

Any chance we can add more server slots? Server was packed today and I couldn't get in :( I'm sure I will get in later but sucks I can't get on when everyone else is playing.

SO MUCH WIN. This will instantly make the Mirage much, much deadlier. The amount of definately-should-of-hit missiles I have fired is rediculous and I always end up having to use all 4 missiles because the first one decided 1000 meters from the target that it doesn't want to listen to my radar anymore.

I know a lot of people would stop playing altogether.... but I hope some day that all FC3 aircraft could be removed, I feel like they cheapen the experience since they are much. much simpler and have fewer systems to manage/operate. Also the missile spam gets annoying ... Every time I fly against an SU27 I get 4 missiles in my face--I can usually dodge 2-3 of those but then hes got another 3-4 it seems like. Im sure its thje same for those that have to face F15s.
