  1. bahahahaha Frostie, honestly quadrouple magic2 is nearly better then double 530s because they arent suspectible to notching and they are still better then lets say the aim7 if used correctly lol. :DDDD For the Viggen bug that thing exists indeed and will be fixed with next patch.
  2. Lol same kind of flamewarlord in this thread as in the blueflag thread ? Enlight us with your great wisdom what the frame should do but doesnt ! :lol:
  3. Basically the dry and bulk ones are easy prey for the GAU8 the tanker does needs like half ammo so not really reasonable. tanker takes 2x agm64h. The H seems to deal more damage then the d against it. Apart from that double 500pound or single 1000pound ordanance will take out the tanker, while the bulk and dry cargo ship only need one 500pound class weapon. Plan I have so far is basically run recon with le viggens, get rbs15s to blow up what is presenting a threat to the su25s and a10s and then have them roll in with their superior load carrying capacity.
  4. Being and EU customer is hard... :}
  5. Notch works better against the ground obviously but against the sky it depends on cloud cover. Most doppler filters nowaday are somewhat automatic in terms of the filtering range. As we are without MP synced clouds atm I guess the notch against the sky is just a very very simplified way to represent that. Running PRFs which are lower then "high" is kinda tricky in STT. Its mostly about duty cycle there to my knowledge. Basically with a multibar scan pattern one has multiple weakish returns to figure out if its a contact or just something else. In STT one basically needs the duty cycle ramped up as much as possible to get some usable SNR. Thats also just an aspect which is completely missing, search pattern influence on detection range. I really hope le AWG9 implementation will bring some real radar mechanics to the table, having a competent RIO will be paramount. STT in pulse and pulse doppler varieties, pulse doppler search, just plain RWS, pulse search, TWS in automatic and in manual mode, manual doppler filter tuning with multiple inputs, analog signal readout so even if stuff doesnt get detected as contact you can still spot it, oh and _then_ only it is that PRFs kick in. ;D Gonna be glorious or RIO is going to be pointless lol. :D
  6. User friendly is boring, give all the modularity in crude late mod additions pls ! :)
  7. The BK90 is not similar to the CBU97 or 87. The 87 has something like 220 projectiles to track, it doesnt already do that afaik because of engine limitations. One BK90 with anti armor submunitions will spawn 2640 projectiles.
  8. There is client side and server side freeze, did you confirm this with others ?
  9. Did you try calling twice ? Despite the correct freq set sometimes it doesnt work the first time around with JTAC at least... If that doesnt work its probably somehow not propagated via the built in radio system.
  10. Honestly, I am following this discussion for the last days now and I think you are really not getting the memo. Getting kills is not a reasonable metric to decide balance on, warthunder does that with their ranking system. That did lead to FW190a4 [mid 1942 aircraft] being matched against p51d25s [late 1944 aircraft], because the playerbase of american aircraft was statistically just plain worse and the P51d is not as forgiving as the 190a in some respects. On equal pilot skill that didnt make sense at all though in terms of objective performance and a P51d25 will outclass a 190a4 no problem. The same goes for the current Mirage vs Flanker situation. A good pilot will put up a fight in any frame. But bad pilots dying in m2ks to flankers is not a valid reason to call the situation balanced. Objectively the M2K against a flanker can stay offensive 24/7 due to way better effective range in terms of missiles, can disengage basically at will until beeing pretty damn close, can run from a flanker and can catch a flanker, can head on basically deny any successful FOX2 employment with full dry thrust, I dunno what the flanker is really supposed to do in its role as a air superiority platform, it just gets outclassed hardcore. In the merge the Flanker kinda gets the upper hand overall in performance but its not even there that the M2K is at an as massive disadvantage against the Flanker as the Flanker is against a Mirage overall before the merge. The F15 overall is also less scary then a Mirage, but that thing outperforms the Mirage slightly in some things flight performance wise, in certain situations the AIM7 can rival the 530, the AIM9 is sneaky AF due to its smokeless motor. And overall I would say F15 vs M2K is kinda cool due to the F15 just carrying twice the armament overall. There is no real way to give the Flanker an more effective offensive armament though, which will be a legid counter to the Mirage. The R27ET is just a meme in terms of CCM. Bind the flare button, use it, tada R27T series just completely denied while being offensive. The F15 will probably suffer more then the M2K. So even more motivation to fly the flying illuminati death laser rocket punch toyota 2000 plug in hybrid. R27ER as said before will probably overpower the flanker objectively speaking. Datalink will give the Flanker actually something unique which is helping it to perform its role as an air superiority platform. While it doesn't help its weapon systems, it helps both survivability and overall employment options. And due to the R27 series being flying airbrakes even a jumped f15 or Mirage will be able to defend, but they will probably be forced defensive/cold. Which is something the Flanker cant really do atm and which would help probably making it a more competitive option overall. Moving the M2k slots further back wont help, it can cover distances at 20NM a minute pretty efficiently if one uses it correctly. What really might make the fc3 planes a more interesting option is giving them fuel and the Mirages no fuel. Or give all aircrafts full fuel. Technically having the FC3 birds having higher readyness over an interceptor doesn't make sense but technically the r27 and aim7 should also substantially outrange the 530d so yeah. We should probably go with what makes sense based on what is the case in DCS instead of what might be realistic because realism with the missiles is just broken straight away so realism does not really work with anything connected to the effectiveness of these weapon systems. And this is my point of view as a M2K driver by heart. And you should probably listen to Frostie in regards to the Flanker, he is an exceptional Flanker driver and usually knows what he is talking about. ;P
  11. European store says november 2017 for availability on the MCG so I am just going to relax I guess. :D
  12. Good stuff, looking forward to being able to buy one. :)
  13. Also the pro or just the basic mcg ?
  14. Target already supports up to 4 MFDs.
  15. Yeah would love to get some info on this as its will get pretty important for dcs multiplayer pretty soon. Especially big events like blueflag will be affected by it.
  16. The Mirage can break for quite some time. Guaranteed since 3 months, because I broke one 3 months ago during testing. And with mach number they can break since I can think of it. But yeah didnt have IAS limitation allways. But its truely pretty hard to break. Like reaaaaly hard. But its there.
  17. You will notice all the flankers have lazerbeams attached to them. ;DDDDD
  18. Looks demo to me gap width wise. Also not in live use so I would expect it to be preproduction run.
  19. Reposting the image which is originally from this thread page 7. Stronk memes, gotta say.
  20. It looks exactly like it.
  21. https://www.facebook.com/VirtualTbirds/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED yep grip in the background. Luminati confirmed
  22. The levels of hype are too damn high.
  23. I am not sure ER and datalink is reasonable but one of them both is probably reasonable. From a mirage perspective I dont mind that much. The eagles probably are happier fighting datalink then fighting ERs. Dunno.
  24. I dunno about the gimbal limits, if my memory doesnt fail me the flanker does actually have +/- 70 degrees where the RDI runs with 60+/-. But that 10degrees really doesnt help in any way because launching that far off boresight will degrade the R27 performance below an crossbolt and launching straight then break turn and crank will also not win you any cake because the flanker will fall apart due to the probably unreasonable overstress modelling as soon as you try to match the Mirages instant. Yeah even with the drag bug atm [the mirage has a confirmed one which is pretty noticable if one really uses the instant turn it can deliver] it has pretty compelling properties for missile defence within ones own gimball limits. The 25T example is pretty legid, gotta say. :D
  25. Yee, I know. Wait for F14 link4a TM. ;D I would just be so happy with lookdown range beyond 30NM, provided some radar on the net sees it, there is a reason there is a 320NM setting on the radar... one can dream... ;D And still the D2M with its very unreliable direction indicator, and for usage against not totally useless against flares missiles really not that attractive coverage is imho overrated a lot. So yeah, remove it, will not shift the balance at all unless the pilot does not know when or how to flare. Datalink for ze flankor would imho actually give it an advantage instead of trying to remove a perceived advantage from the baguette.
