F-15s can support high Gs as it have been said in many other threads (12g for a few moments [on a 7.5G rated F-15A], so 14 instantaneous MIGHT be ok to keep on flying before the ground crew kills you). On the other hand, what have been said is that the F-15 should not be able to even generate VERY high G turns, so that might be the problem.

My condolences, TM support might be shit, but MadCatz products are...

Didn't look at the track yet, but I like it this way... If I put AIs on excellent, I want those AIs to be god. They already suck at BVR and are at best decent at BFM, so giving them an advantage is by no mean overpowerring them. Also, here we are talking more about balance than realism, as I can remember pilot statements from the gulf war of pilots getting tally at 10NM. But anyway, I want the AI to have advantages, else they just wouldn't put up a fight!

lol at 1:50 there's a random rafale footage!

Ok...that's just not enough information!!! Unless you tell me you are omniscient and it is impossible to approach you without knowing it, there's no problem there! IDK give us a track, a detailed debreif, a description of the simulation. What plane were you in? What are your skills in that plane? Besides, you can find an ennemy without radar. Else WW2 and F-5A would have never existed, so there's no proper issue in him going on your six without radar.

Only the F-4? Can't remember an AI ever getting blind excepted when they bug-out. Also, how do you know they know? Try to provide more informations and to say why something is wrong instead of simple ''its wrong''.

Any big strategic bomber to end Blue Flag in 20 minutes ;)

While it doesn't solve the problem, It's a good idea not to rely on the warning to defend, will save you many lives.

^Well know, documented and reported :)

In 1.5.4, SRM are useless, that's one missiles. I play MP only.

Trust me, every missile just hit 60 years old and began retirement, not just russian ones!

I did not mean it in a negative way, just wondering how you'd actually do it...The only way I see is to get a pass worded server and get to know everyone that has the password, which is a lot of gestion in the end.

I do not see how you would enforce the VR only though.

Well...didn't intend to jack the topic as this has been going on for months, but given there are 5 other 1.5.4 missile threads might as well do it! lol For all the planes from the 70's to now, in BFM its all about the pilot. What i'm saying is that when you see that you enter the WEZ and get out of burners, if you happen to fight a R-73-carrier (R-73 over aim-9 in dogfights for reason I think are obvious) and he shoots maybe 2s after you cut off AB, that missile's won't pay any attention to flares, while in other planes (especially the mirage and its pretty much instantaneous spool time) flares would have worked. Given the nature of the R-73, if the launch parameters were good, you are very much doomed as it is (was up to 1.5.3) quite the challenge to defeate, which will leave you at a disadvantage for the rest of the fight, probably slow and being slow is horrible against a flanker.

BVR is an utopia in DCS. usually 120s have a range of 10NM head on and maybe 3NM on a cold target that wants to defend. But as I've said its quite hard to convince ED on missile performance so...get that cannon ready.

This is unrelated, I did not say I waited, I said that in any other plane it would not be such a problem but the F-15's engine isn't as responsive.

You've never seen a diference between the F-15 and other planes? I fly the mirage and I sure have, as the mirage's AB comes off instantly. In the F-15, no matters how many flares you put out so long as you were in AB when the missile was launched (and in proper paremeter ie no dogfight Rmin launch) its a hit. I can tell you it's not only the pilot, but anyway...who cares anymore as SRM are now as effective as bricks.

You fly in the 27, so that's normal, but in the F-15 there is a long delay to get out of afterburner (5-ish seconds). During this time, as you are in afterburner, flares have little effect. Of course, in favorable parameters you can defeat R-73, but most of the time, you can't do much if you were in AB when the missile was launched.

This works for most of the sim's components, but missile has always been a Pandora box for ED so statements will be even less frequent (think about the 10^50 threads about missiles...all they got from ED was ''well...maybe we'll work on our guidance at some point''). That is of course assuming ED made missiles worst by accident...

ED rarely releases statements compared to 3rd parties, so it's not that surprising.

Ok for the ER, I was just wondering why it was that way. But I think you guys are missing my point with with the mirage... I'm sure it would have equilibrated the teams by giving reds a NATO plane as every time I get on 80s scenario its 30 blues vs 10 reds, but nevermind I guess i'll practice bfm instead when that happens.

My intention was to even the teams also, the 21 is already on red. If I hate modern soviet planes, you can guess how I feel about downgraded similar desings. Also, I don't own it and (while I truly support leatherneck as it is a master piece) am not willing to buy I plane that I simply do not like. Am I the only one that feels like switching the mirage would be beneficial? Also, in case people don't look up, I reiterate my question about ERs.

Also happens the other way around : I could shoot someone when on his screen I was pointingabout 15° in lag...

Still trying not to ;)

Hi, I'd like to request that the Mirage gets put on the red side in RedVsBlue 80's scenarios : EACH time I get on and its 80's, I have to choose from being on the team on 40 blues, or on the team of 10 REDs with Russian aircrafts. Normally I ALWAYS go on the smallest team even if its 1V10, but I deeply HATE Russian aircrafts (no offense meant, just my taste :) ) So with M-2K on read it would not only equilibrate teams, but would also make NATO enthusiasts like me happy to go on the small team. Beside, France was always a country a bit to the left hehe-Oh I heat the magical fairy telling me no politics... Also, may I ask why reds have ER? Makes no historical sense (NATO had an upgraded AIM-7p that isn't in game in the late 80s where the ER was available) nor balance sense.
