When you say it like that maybe I should try and improve my tactics :D

But if someone chose to use "long range shots" I would not bother doing much about it anyway. Of course I could be misunderstanding your assumption of what a "long range shot is", but in current version of DCS I simply do not chose a tactic or are not afraid of pilots engaging me/them beyond ecm burn-through range, that is a wasted missile in my book. How stupid I am or might be :P I only take the pods when I am going for some ground attack with the flanker. I enjoy that from time to time.

Oh man I want to be a part of that flight on the 8th. Just to listen in would be okay :P But good read, thank you for sharing

I will lock the door to my game room and join the testing when you guys got things set up.

I am sure that no matter what will be available on release that being beta or alpha, LN is the company that make dreams come true. We just have to give them all the money and time they can ask for.

Memory leak is fixed. :gun_smilie:

Thanks Skjold! I kind of suspected that they were bound to be CA-capable but not sure so thank you for clearing that out. Oh the waiting time is really hard. I am getting more and more exited, Also if the theaters are what we believe them to be like, one can really hide some nasty surprises in that kind of scenery. Ps. Awesome pictures! EDIT: Now as well I am looking at Swedish Navy vessels. Surely they must be there as well :D

Surströmning and snaps can cure everything ! Back on topic: I was wondering with new theaters and you guys in this thread mentioning Swedish ground forces if the (new) ground forces will be playable like we can with CA on Caucasus map ? Or do we simply add existing CA-modules into the ex. north Scandinavian/new map when creating missions just with a Swedish skin perhaps. Sry if this has already been discussed or mentioned. Have a nice weekend o7

That was beautiful written! :thumbup: :smartass:

This is what you need. I highly recommend the TNN missions. just read the briefing, load some weapons and you are good to go. There are 3 zones on the map/mission with easy, medium and hard targets for ground. for the su-27 flanker visit youtube and get a fast idea on how people use their radar, countermeasures and so on. Be aware there might be some conflicts between 1.2.6 created missions and 1.5.1 client. But the one I just tried out worked fine. Have fun :hehe:

I thought you could MOD your self out of that "more FC3" problem. Every step DCS take towards high fidelity modules is a good one for me. FC3(SU-25T) is after all what brought me to the doorstep of DCS. But A-10C and MIG 12bis + all the community created missions and mods ex. RAE_MOD, is why I keep playing it. I like to play Eagle vs Flanker, but I am not sure that I am going to spend that much time in/with FC3 once we get more high fidelity modules. I think what we have now is just perfect when you consider the learning curves for new players like my self, it is very nice that you have a module where you don't need to worry about so much when learning to use weapon systems, navigation, take off and so on. once you understand the basics of flight and combat it is easier (for me) to transfer to a new module, high fidelity or not

Yes, Save the citizens from a zombie epidemic. I can just imagine the poster for such a campaign: One man, one brrrrrt of chance to save the human race! We never know if DCS will rule all other simulators one day and truly be the only Digital Combat Simulator with all aspects of war. I would love to run around as footsoldier playing the jtac role and see the zombies die as I order one brrrt of freedom! Only to be picked up by a human controlled Huey and flown to the top of Nevadas highest mountain where I will scream "I am the king of the digital combat world!!!" :gun_smilie:

Say that again ? :huh: That is like saying Surströmning will make every women want to kiss you :doh:

M2K vs Viggen - I will take the Viggen and its armament any day. Yeah I'm biased cus I live "up there" :smartass: :doh:

Surströmming for everyone ! Merry christmas Leatherneck! I got my money ready

Congrats on a milestone in subscribers I want Nevada

If I use my beginners logic I would say that if you are in a situation where the 120 is on to you, you already failed in playing your flanker to the best means. ;) Seriously though: You can spam chaff all you want and when you want. The key is to know how to burn its energy best and not rely "only" on chaff countermeassures. Sure I have beaten 120 with chaff and a lazy defensive move/luck > skills, but never the less, chaff/flares is not/should not be the most important priority in your defensive tactics arsenal it is just there to make the game/you look cool while you are defensive.. Now for the R-27 vs chaff is another story - a story I know little about. Best advice I can think of: When you fly the flanker you want to make best use of your timing and energy costly moves.. Let it get a little closer than you like and then pull that stick. Be up, down, what ever just make sure you make that missile/slammer waste some energy.. The fun part about the flanker is also in surviving that evil western technology.. But timing I think is the key to survive.. The Hard mode begins when they arrive with good separation and compared to above you either have to deny him that chance or simply(yeah right) shot him down before he get more slammers going at you! - Don´t just use your plane but as well your sourrondings. Oh and the timing Looking forward to see you in Blueflag Soon™

After I finished learning(did not die all the time) with the Su-25T I was hooked on DCS. And I could not wait for a Sale to get my hands on a new module so I bought A-10C and FC3. I agree that maybe my purchases would have come out different if I could test/try some of the modules first before putting money in DCS World, but no matter I am sure I would end up buying all of them anyway. As I posted earlier I don't think that module A or B is the reason for anyone that they start with this sim, - then want to go and spend a lot of money on hardware like pedals, trackIR, HOTAS, MFD and so on, only to see if a flight sim is something for them.. This is so tiny a market and ED need all the profit they can get.. that is what I think - Oh and Youtubers "play" a big part in the sale argument for me. I only bought the Ka-50 after some youtubing. Call me a dumb customer then :P If anything should be added to the Free module list all logic would point at the two seater training version, then you could taste flight in DCS with out being a/the pilot and needed only to ask if some one would give you a tour de DCS from above. :pilotfly:

Voted NO - I think this is up to the developers to chose. If you want a free MIG or any other module to be free for that matter go build one yourselves and hand it out to who ever you want. This is wrong in so many ways and will not be the stepping stone for anyone to start playing a simulator. I think this smell like warthunder community mentality from a long distance. Ew

When I was a beginner I did not get much out of this video.. But I am a slow learner and come to think about it I am still a beginner :) Maybe I should re-watch it (^^) only this time I know more about the business talk/fraises so to speak. But thank you for reminding me about Mr. sexy mustage with planes on stick.

You are all spoiled kids! Or act like it :) Why the rush ?

Totally off-topic: After I joined the Win10 wagon my steamapp is not telling me that "in order to log in to steam I need to have a working internet connection" anymore so I will spam you laters when you are around. Back on Topic: Well I guess that settles it. Thank you for tip and solution.

I'm pretty sure it must be server sided because - It works fine when you spawn in the first time. - after death/respawn the problem occurs. I can try and test it with the Su-25T - So far I have seen it in both MIG and Flanker.

Same here :(

The F/A-18 release will shut many wishful armchair pilots up. Personally I think that ED back then were considering both,(Viper and F/A-18) but ended up pulling the F/A-18 up from their magic hat. Now when DCS 2.0 and Nevada finally reaching public, imagine all that "manpowerhours" ready to focus on (new)modules. Oh yeah, I think 2016 will be the year that many simmers will talk about as the NEW ERA!! mehe
