HAHA, no, that is all the people who want to either ban the AIM-120, pretend the R-27ER doesn't out reach the AIM-7, or want to make the R-27R/ER act like it has an active terminal seeker.

No, I am suggesting NOT to do that, I am suggesting that nothing be removed at all, I am saying that if you start removing one thing, then all that will happen is the fanboys of the other side will start whinging about it, and then you end up with something else removed and then something else and we end up with Camels vs DR.1's. The ONLY reason people want the AIM-120 banning from servers is because they want to slant the playing field in their direction, simple as that.

What he said.

That and the MiG's ridiculous ability to absorb .50 cal is what ruins it, there isn't much you can do about the damage issue other than what you said, but sometimes such precision is hard to do in a dogfight, the only thing we can affect is the AI's visibility range, which seems directly linked to their skill level, it's the only way to enable surprise tactics.

Sure.

Outright range is not usually that useful anyway, if you're launching at Rmax against anything but a bomber or a transport then you kind of deserve to miss, that extra boost is more useful at much shorter ranges, to keep its KE up, and my experience with the AIM-7 vs the ER is not what you seem to have had, against a co-altitude co-speed enemy they are usually launched long before I can launch an AIM-7 and feel I have a good chance of it at least reaching the other guy with a decent amount of energy left, even if it doesn't actually result in a hit, only if I have a large speed advantage at launch then the AIM-7 can go further.

Again, you're presuming I don't. It seems all you want to do is reduce DCS down to air quake. "Balance" has no place in a simulation, but if you must have it there is little point in unbalancing it the other way, all banning the AIM-120 without banning the R-77 also will do is create a situation where everyone will load up with 77's T's and TE's, and go only passive for the first launch, and then use the 77's in closer, then more whinging will occur, but from the other direction.

Instead of not allowing AMRAAMs why not fly the MiG-29S, and then you have the R-77 to play with. If you insist on not having AMRAAMs, then it would seem fair to at least ban the extended range R-27's and IR versions aswell, and turn it into an R-27 vs AIM-7 fight.

At the speeds missiles fly at for most of their flight it won't take much of a turn to cause 11-14G.

Thanks for posting that :)

Would it be possible to one day have a radio system built into DCS for MP, that uses the radios in the aircraft as they should be used, so you have to select the right channel, band and modulation (AM/FM) and then you can talk to other players over VOIP?

That is what I ended up doing for the most part against the MiG-15 AI, I've got the odd kill at the highest level, but I've found that "good" and "average" what ever that really means..... seems to be more realistic.

The R-77 is already is in DCS, fly the MiG-29S.

That is an option, but I do like to build SP missions and campaigns.

I can beat them, it just shouldn't be that hard to do so, the way it is now it's just completely unrealistic.

All you really need to do is set the AI skill level to no higher than "average" and it is a fair fight, anything higher and the AI has a IRST ball in one eye, and a radar in the other, and a PW-220 powering the MiG.

They must have an IRST sensor in one eye and a radar in the other. Either that or they're psychic, and that isn't even talking about them cheating with the flight model making it literally run rings around the F-86, and fly like it has a PW-220 in it. There is clearly something not right, and it has been like this for ages.

I had a look for it, and the only thing I can see is keybindings for the mode selector, I am on about the weapon selector, on the right, there doesn't seem to be anything that relates to that.

I always input the coordinates again, even if they're different to the first sortie, and also the code for what type of attack you want to execute, even if the same as last time eg 800001.

I set up a mission where there is another viggen, and we're both attacking a couple of frigates, and even though I have set him up to use all of his missiles he fires one, and then a long time later, like a minute or more later fires the other, rather than both at once, he also seems to fly continuously towards the two ships even after he has fired both missiles, as if he is going to go strafe them, rather than breaking away and staying well outside their SAM zone.

That could be done based on the type of dial, but for an analogue type dial, an actual axis would be better used for that, to get the fine control.

Completely agree, infact this should be a standard on any dial in any module from day one, that there should be a rotate right/left one position keybind, it's just obvious.

I want to map this to my warthog, but I am not seeing it in the keybindings for the options screen, is this still a W.I.P, or is it called something weird in the options?

Are you uncaging?

Doing it in the cockpit seems to get around it.
