I asked a similar question a few months ago, I think my thread will have all the info you need. :) http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=143805

Yes, I guess my point was that it requires disciplined management.

Well, if the mission is a transport one, avoidance is probably the best strategy. Huey's are, as you've seen, very vulnerable to AAA. They're not really designed to handle that. If you have to destroy them, I would probably loose salvos of rockets from afar and try to get lucky. I don't know if the guns do any decent damage to 23mm emplacements. Another dangerous strategy if the terrain is friendly, is to use the terrain to mask you until you get very close, then pop up and fire a lot of rockets quickly and dive back behind cover.

Yes I agree. Although another point to consider is, IIRC, having ECM on will give you a later warning of an incoming AIM-120. Which is quite a big deal when it's only about 10 seconds to begin with.

Hmm, I feel like I would remember it being that close, I'm not sure.

Fair enough, whereas I like to take the R-73s so I can be more liberal with my use of heaters such as when I come across an A-10 on my CAP flight that may require two hits. :)

Except that burn through is at like 40 nmi, so nobody usually cares if anyone launches at that range with our missiles. :D

I don't think ECM is worth it (or I personally have not used it to effect) because an enemy has already burned through way before either of you are within appropriate missile launch range.

My guess is lack of info since a lot of the related metrics are classified.

Great, thanks!

:lol: Thanks for the cool pics. Next maybe a short review of what some of the numbers mean, please. ;) I really enjoy your continued dialog in the forums, keep it up!

Thanks, sounds easy enough. :)

Thanks Zeus! I just have two questions if you could answer. 1. Before autolock is implemented, will we be able to hold down the lock button to acquire or will we have to click once the target is in the radar parameters? 2. When locked in any of the CCM modes, will switching to the cannon automatically begin calculating the bullet snake range?

Geez, I hope it would be today, seeing as they already announced its arrival. :P

Great! I was apprehensive about this as well. :)

We can only hope you're right. :)

Thanks for the info!

Is our version capable of using the ATLIS II targeting pod? And if it's possible, will we see it in the future at all?

Doesn't look like any MDS people have responded to this thread in a bit, so I guess I will. Seeing as I just joined last week, I guess I'm as good as anyone to help others join. :D If you want to join, go to the MDS website, make an account, and introduce yourself in the recruitment application thread. Then try to catch a few of the members on TeamSpeak and fly with them a bit (I think popular times are Wed. and Fri. evenings). After that you will probably be recommended for membership and accepted. :) http://www.maddog-simulations.com/ (PS: I'd also mention the Mirage in your intro application if you'd like that to be your primary squadron, then you'll probably be placed there.)

Zeus, if you could answer this for me, it got lost in the previous discussion thread, What systems had to be more estimated due to classified material or otherwise, compared to what is modeled close to reality, such as things like IFF? I'm just curious.

That's the best news I've heard all day. :)

It's not my first choice, but I'm so glad we're getting a fast strike aircraft with precision weapons, and anti-ship missiles, and possibly a long range stand-off gliding bomb! :) It's something DCS really needs.

Welcome! Not to burst your bubble or anything, but there is a Wikipedia page that has a lot of them. :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiservice_tactical_brevity_code Although it would be nice to see some people post some other lingo that may be more unofficial, like slang.

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I made a similar thread a while ago and someone posted some skins you might like. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=151337
