So now after reading the AAR and recieving the T-Shirt from Maple Flag Missions just in time for my birthday I feel obligated to praise everyone involved in that awesome event. It's a little bit late, but here we go. The whole week of training leading to the event was clearly peak DCS for me, it can't get any better. So, thank to my team, you guys were absolutly awsome. Thanks Stuge for your guidance, training and analysis. Thanks to the sponsors, Maple Flag Missions for the magnificent T-Shirt and Leatherneck Simulations, you guys did already an awesome job on the Mig21bis. I'm really looking forward to the Viggen. Also thanks to the organizers. It's just incredible what the community can accomplish. The biggest surprise for me was the casting. After the event I thought I should counter the energy drinks running through my veins with some beer and I watched the stream. I was just blown away how well everything was presented and how stunning the casting was. I really hope the 3rd generation fighters catches more on in the (online) community. Both modules are really awesome and it's a real pleasure to fly them. Big thanks to everyone beeing involved.

When everyone else, who hasn't mentioned that he has no time, shows up, we will be able to fly. EDIT: Ah, sorry, haven't read Jesters post. I've counted him in. In this case I think we'll have to forfeit the match.

If this stays I'm going to join Blue for this round.

I can't answer you that, because I was the guy beeing chased. I just thought it's funny.

I'm learning the F15 for a week now and try to figure out how to maneuver, and my main point is, that not maneuvering can be sometimes your best bet. Can be successful, in the case of the video I flew behind some mountains and we lost track of each other. On the other hand it doesn't work everytime, in the case of the video, after we've lost track of each other, I was bingo fuel and crashed.

So lets assume you have a SU27 at your 6 within 6NM and he is firering 27ERs at you. What to do? The problem with many maneuvers is, that the bandit will close in the distance, and you risk to get a R73 in your face. So I developed a high 1G maneuver that I call atm advanced barrel roll. The maneuver starts like a normal barrel roll, lets say you push your stick left and up. So you start like a normal barrel roll, pushing your stick left but instead of continuing you cancel the movement immediatly out. You do the same with the up movement. Rinse and repeat. Therefore the bandit can't close the distance. Here a small video where you can see this in action. I use *small* amounts of chaff, for some reason that is not visible in the video.

Thanks Buddyspike team for that awesome event, the most fun I've had so far in DCS. So many nice people and such great fights. But I also want to give some feedback. - Balance I think here shouldn't be changed anything. The numbers are really balanced, and even if not, it's all about the fun. I wanted to join bluefor for the next blueflag (and maybe do) to balance things a little bit out, but it seems that everything is so even that I'm not sure if it's needed. - Squadron locked slots Please remove them. I don't understand why this is ingame. I could understand that if there are really active squadrons that need them. But most of the slots are completly unused and even active squadrons like TAW nearly never use their slots. - Player lives Please increase them a bit, I had phases in the game were the #1 reason I lost a life were server crashes. - Fuel Feels really artifical atm (you can refuel airbases by flying fuel between them back and forth, its strange). but has imo great potential. A suggestion: + you can only deliver fuel from FARPs (because there is a refinery ;)) + more FARPs + airfields slowly genereate fuel by themself (because fuelconvois arrive) + low tier aircrafts don't need fuel (like the Mig21 or MI8). Like vespene gas in starcraft it would enable you to have tech units. - artifical advantages unfortunatly there are some advantages I use: + message log for kills + lagging enemys that become visible, especially SU25s in the mountains are really good to see + ESC screen to see what aircrafts the enemys are using and where I don't know if you can do anything about this. Again, thank you for the great event. Thank you pilots on both sides, thanks redfor for the great communication and fun at TS. Special thanks to every CGI, I think I made more than 85% of my kills, because someone told me where I should look. Special thanks to Saburo for the by far best dogfight I've ever had.
