Zero interest in flying buss. Asked around our Team speak, 5 guys online, all said no interest.

Eh nothing wrong with over sharing worked out quite well for other games *cough* star citizen". And IF Raz are doing the UK GR4, i would still pay for a German IDC/ECR, heck might reduce the work load between 2 teams working on it in some aspects, reduce dev cost etc. 4Gen aircraft needs to be every ones priority IMO, and a commen goal between all devs. as much as i will get hate for it as usal i do think wasting time and effort on WW2 stuff which seems to be all over the place "time frame tech wise" the game instead of a focused 3rd/4th gen eco system, where models interact well in scenario and mission and capability. I love my mig21 but never got many chances to use till the F5 came and now Online PVP vs a remotely equal aircraft is possibly the best fun i had outside of blue flags. And on that note, blue flags was the only reason i bought the gazelle, and even transport helos which in a million years i would not have bought as a stand alone model, but since they play well with others then sure i will gladly pick them up. while the number of PVP players might not be as large as the solo players, it is a growing base and it is a selling point, i stream from time to time and amount of ppl who got the game simply to that fact of PVP play is staggering. Consider this a solo mans servery but i fly with a few people, i am 100% sure they wont buy any of the ww2 stuff, we talked about it, as we are IL2 players we dont think that DCS is well suited enough for a ww2 game, But i am 100% sure they will all buy any tornado or 4th gen aircraft or attack helo in a heart beat. throwing my hat in and saying insta buy for a tornado IDS/ECR jet you make the quality of the gazelle had me sold. even if the GR4 was made by Raz

GG to all and good fight red. Was fun.

That was me flying it haha. I hit you with guns as well. nearly broke my arm trying to keep it in the air. But yeah M2k DM is broken, same as the mig29. M2k Still is way more though.

wish you the best off luck, and hope things go back on track for you. To ED, just pay the man, and add this as a free update to DCS world. the game looking better is simply a selling point. No need to complicate the whole thing.

No one is using Leavu3 on blue as far as i know. so stop using that excuse unless you have proof. we however have proof that red is using the repair trick as a crutch. honestly, i have never seen such bad manners and salt as much as i have seen from the red team. And you do get 20% fuel on start to compensate for no bags. so stop it honestly its all becoming too petty of an argument. If you hate red so much, and think the F15 is so good then fine, switch blue no need to cheat or exploit to justify your arguments.

would like to know this as well.

I remember that happen to me when i shot down an MI 8 with a KA50 back in round 5, My wing man saw nothing but i had a massive sideways nuke crater and it looked like a massive sand storm as the texture happened sideway

The HOT 3 has a 6.5 KG explosive, for comparison and igla has a 1kg warhead. a HEAT warhead will take down a heli easily "it will be an over kill" a TOW2 hitting an MI-8 IIRC TOW2 has a smaller warhead than a HOT3. In regards to fire parameters, there is nothing but ground for it to work, it will simply show up with lase or without it. I am not sure why that will be the case in the real thing, as war is messy, and weapon systems are at the core designed to be versatile. what if its a hovering helo? what of its a big tower? Atm all those options are not possible due to no launch over ride. Another note is, that so far i did not find any source that the HOT3 explodes "self destruct" at max range, though it is typical for some weapon systems to do that.

Its within normal practice that some weapons have some versatility, Even if its not to the intended target or at perfect envelopes. Tanks are trained to use the main gun vs helos, some ATGM from helos and troops can be used vs slow low helos. Also HOT3 at the moment needs 2 shots to down a flying Mi8/kh29. that should not be the case hehe.

so no possible way to engage helos with it, so basicly i have to fire at the ground when i get an LA then move it back into the helo. That's quite interesting that you can no manually fire the missile. Not sure what nationality has to do with it though.

Simple question, is there a way to Override the launch parameters for the HOT 3.

Yep, still does not explain the bomb racks on the Tanks, a distinct F15E, i tried to find more of the pic but came up with nothing. Boeing however does have a habit of taking Older service aircraft for demonstration upgrades. I know they did that with an F15e turning it into the SA demonstrator. SO this could very well be a D/C

As a whole program? possibly not. But as parts of it, is what they are "really" aiming for.

Yep, same upgrade is also made for the F-15E http://www.boeing.com/defense/f-15-strike-eagle/

I am quite sure its an F-15E ,look at the pylons "more like bomb racks under the conformal fuel tanks. Never seen those on an F-15c.

I know that way too well. Kinda amazing it started just as the mission getting out of testing. I do hope that the life system gets removed, its great on paper but i lost 2 to D/C and the rest to friendly fire.

I will buy 4 copies of this thing when its live. I will buy 16 copies if we get this armament for it

Best thing in DCS. however just a note from a tester, The performance today was quite bad compared to the last 2 weeks. Vr. 3.7 and 3.8 might have broken something.

I think, every 3rd party developer should take into consideration M.player, how each platform fits into it and the current plane set of FC3+Mig21+M2000, along with the future stuff like the F14,F18, etc. From a customers prospective, anything that fits with those aircraft, and nearly all my flight buddies if it fits well in PVP "AG and AA" then its an instant buy. That is the first and last consideration that ED and all the 3rd party devs need to take into account. DCS has a decent sized element that plays exclusively on line, while it might not be as large as the solo players, its definitely the side that is consumer facing the most. In other words Mplayer Videos and streams are viewed a bit more than solo ones. It was a selling point for me and my mates for example. so the better that base is the better the game. That argument does not effect solo play, as a new platform is a new platform, but making it fit Mplayer is simply a plus. This can be done even without a full build of an aircraft Some examples: is Expanding on current platforms, For example a -5 Mark for the m2000, or a M version of the Su27, or a Bison version of the Mig21. If have no issue spending 30-40$ for one of those. Even an auxiliary system like AWACS "commander "even if the flight model is simplistic or AI but emphases On functionality. FC3 quality Transport planes "C130/il76" or single role Planes "F117 for example" if they come in a pack of 2 or 3"

Best of luck, A day 1 buy for me. I am happy that there is some one bold enough to take on an aircraft like this. It sure will add a new dimension to online play.

I want something that will work in FC3 Online environment, Mplayer is a selling point for lots people and we really do not want other usless aircraft that has no assets or world or other objects to interact with. Make a Mig27 or a Su22M or a Su24m for example as reds lack a fast attacker "vs the f-18c and JSA37" Anything that first the 80s~90s time frame, is far more preferable, I bought the hawk and was the only thing I regretted buying as it has no place on line. I would even pay for an expansion for the m2000 if it gets to -5 or -9.

I humbly ask for source on the F15c model capability in game, from what i know the armament menu right now is stuck, and where the LEAVU capability should be.

where did that info come from? source?

They said they do not allow mods that hurt the feelings of some people, and they said they do not allow cheating. I am with them 100% on the cheating part, and the hurt feelings now are simply ignorance of what cheating is or not. Now if you can prove that this system is "cheating" or the BS guys say this system is cheating and why. then thats another subject. I will always follow the server owners rules, does not mean i cant argue it or say people feelings should not matter in MIL sim game play, when a tool that provides realistic capability and higher fidelity makes a few arcade players feelings hurt.
