And MJ2 is not sensor fuzed. So yeah. ED gotta do something about cluster munitions effectiveness before BK90s can do what they are supposed to. The GBU43 type crater does the job for the moment in MP. ;)

Yeah I agree with mlbackham, organisation of the challengers side is simply not the task of the aggressor side/event organisers. It is nice to have the planning forums, but everything beyond that is really on ourselves. The setup was imho winnable for us. Harder then last time, because there was no need for HAVCAP on the Aggressor side but that still doesn't present a unsolvable situation. I would be happy to at least start forging new stuff right away but for that positioning of things and map would have to be fixed like naow. Which is kinda unrealistic given the uncertainty coming with DCS patches. I am happy to plan again as soon as the next setup is announced. If I have time at that point is a little random but yeah, generally totally up for that stuff. For completeness sake, my last kill was with a magic2 not 530D.

This round was more fun then initially expected for me tbh. Happygolucky really did awesome work as GCI, not only as GCI but in general as comic relief and motivational coach once it was apparent that the battle was more or less lost. I still feel a little bad for playing the rules a little hard on the end with the border, but it was simply the most promising solution to reset that situation to a more favorable position for me. Tiger practically was the only one who did choose to really push me up high and he did pull full gentlemen there after he crossed the border. S! Yes I can confirm that kill happend. Was initially indeed TWS on blaze but that contrail turning towards me in my face kinda had priority at that moment. ;D Since my recording unfortunately got lost [switching of audio interface before shutting down recording... m)] here is a link with timestamp to relevant part of that kill: Mustang really has a run for me I guess. :D good stuff S! Its really nice to have these events since going against high threat organized resistance is kinda not happening outside of these events so after each round there is really a lot to process and learn from.

SA3s can be overflown but not easily, requires a bit of knowledge of the system etc. I dont mind the SA11 threat, but its going to be pretty pointless because for example no way to fight between gudauta and sochi with that. I think its good that there is the SA3. It prevents the stomp from single a10c in one go, and it gives a motivation to actually deploy sa6 and manpads to fortify positions against air raids. I would very much stick with the sa3, its actually more effective against high alt threats then the sa6.

MicroVAX RvE M2000c Germany "GCI services will be provided via AWACS uplink, these AWACS aircraft are not eligible to be targetted and will be set on immortal for this event." So sad. No viggen either, double sad. You guys are really making it hard to find something ridiculous to do. :D Will GCI view feature gods eye view like on 104th server normally ? Especially with the targets being right at the foot of the mountains that would remove quite the options from Challengers repertoire. Also: Will GCI count towards squadron limit on sing ups ? Also: How will the winning side be determined ? I guess there is a point system, if that is the case, will the points assigned for actions be made public ? Edit: Will the mission be the same as last redflag [except Aggressors AWACS is immortal] or will it be made public during the week ?

If the firing F15c is in STT and fires AIM120 it gives warning, but not in TWS. D2M can obviously see TWS launches but not from 30nmi. More like around 8nm.

Yes normandy should make use of the available rendering power, and the caucasus upgrade to 2.0 should do the same then. Basically 1.5 is limited by how old the graphics engine is.

DCS is very badly coded and not up to use the rendering power of a 1080ti. Even with a 1080 1.5 is struggeling to even constantly use 50%. 2.0 is much better, try nevada, there you get what your GPU can render. In 1.5 disable civilian traffic and reduce water and shadows, not because your gpu cant handle but because DCS cant handle your gpu. :D Sad but true.

I still want my XB70.

SF that was some awesome action right there ! Maybe I love creative tactics to much, but that really was amazing to watch. :D Congratz on the win ! 104th, well, its nearly redundant to mention you guys and very good bvr performance in the same statement, but obviously well fought ! :)

Where is the give medal option in this forum... :D

Roggah, thanks for clarification, shall Yorz and I hand in our E-Mail addresses as well or isnt that needed anymore ?

"Ground pounding is allowed using guns only." Is this to be taken literally or does it mean "no dedicated A2G stores" ? I mean the magic2 can be employed as A2G weapon in a last ditch effort, will that be counted as a rule violation, or is that okay ?

Hmm, well the commonality to use jovial is not exactly indicating much in terms of computational power for return interpretation, the inline assembler makes it possible to squeeze quite a bit out of given hardware, but as long as we do not know what kind of hardware it is, its pretty much not indicating all that much. Do we know how the computers used in the APG70 compare to the one used in the APG73 in terms of complex computations a second ? Or some kind of performance metric, at least what is simulated in DCS if we do not have or will get hard data, which is probable I guess. #gib_use_your_own_jovial_coded_radar_firmware_feature

True ;D Radar parts aren't exactly uPnP. :D Just was trying to get a grasp of if our bug is going to be limited by transmission power and antenna parameters or if we are more limited by processing power and thus return interpretation. With afaik the interpreting parts comming from the strike eagle I would imagine we are limited by antenna and available transmission power.

Just in case there is some do not sign up your friends rule, yes I am here to push the limits of the french space shuttle once again, hopefully. :D

Isnt a 73 just a 65 antenna with a 70 [strike eagle] transmitter receiver and electronics etc. ?

With VEAO I hope all the best but the p40 state looks like there has not been the "figured it out by now" state one would wish. With F15 vs f18 accel the main concern is how fuel load looks at the time of engagement and how drag compares. The thrust to weight ratio is not that far off, so it will probably come down to drag, which I again compared do not estimate that massively disfavouring the F18. I mean the Mirage2000 has worse accel in game then f15c, and by the pure performance numbers that difference should be quite a bit larger then the to be expected f15 vs f18 difference. But you are kinda right, its down to how it pans out in DCS. Missile performance hint hint. :D Yeah the comparison is a bit exagerated maybe. :P I mean we get a pretty dope APG73 radar, apart from that I am mainly basing the assumption of things people [TM] who flew stuff [TM] said [TM]. So no sources, no hard data, lots of haze. Even if not, radar on TWS'd until $aim120 is pitbull should be stealth enough to make engagement via datalink until firing pretty noice. Yeah will be interesting if the APG73 has the same underperforming tendency like the other radars in game or if that changes. F14 will also be very interesting subject considering the tweakability of its settings by the RIO.

The thing is considering the current train wreck of VEAO module quality I estimate the probability of reworked DCS BVR mechanics with hornet release higher then a working EF from VEAO even in DCS speak soon TM. They are over the I don't even know anymore iteration of "finishing 3d model", the hawk is still in wtf is even happening state and the "fm breaking DCS patch" for the p40 is really indicating a whole lot. I mean don't get me wrong, I want them to succeed and a EF would be cool, basically a dogfighting missile trash mobile, but everything that VEAO has done until now is basically indicating its not going to happen. Just looking at the public available information about the EuroDASS Praetorian, Pirate and Captor the complexity of simulating that is really scary. Looking at Heatblur, who did the mig21, which is more complex then the hawk for sure, to a higher standard, then did the viggen, which they considered complex, comparing their performance to VEAO, I simply have huge doubts a working EF is going to materialize after a failing hawk and a as it seems at least troubled P40. Surely I am happy to be positively surprised, but well, optimism only goes so far. In regards to the f18 vs f15 discussion. The f15 will keep slightly better acceleration and higher G tolerance. I do not know how the f18 fairs on max dry fuel consumption wise etc. but with the very short sortie times in DCS I at least consider the f18s short legs not being that much of a problem. The f15 will get rekt on the basis of inferior features and not jhmcs nor aim9x is going to mitigate that at all, not even considering that jhmcs and aim9x on the eagle we have would be as realistic as a r74 on the current flanker in game. plane to plane link16, firing aim120s radar off at datalink targets from unexpected angles or altitudes, actually implemented navigation equipment, all that kind of stuff is just giving a pilot who is willing to train with the systems an advantage over the f15 no type of armament can mitigate, except gimbal mounted railguns or something like that. In a blunt headon engagement a f15 might have a slight advantage, but nothing that cant be overcome by tactics. I do not think think the F15 will die out in MP though. I know enough f15 pilots who actually enjoy it not being full fidelity and thus les "work" then full fidelity modules.

I am not blaming you for anything, just pointing out that the period you were on red for very short. :) [And thus do not really have a big enough sample size to speak for both sides.] Nothing wrong about that, just pointing it out.

Yeah with red massively outnumbering blue, you may moan once you have been on red for several weeks beeing outnumbered daily. :P Get to our freakin level. :D

Only if I get my XB70 module. :P Moar speed, moar payload, moar fuel consumption, cant get any better. :D [And if the Mirage finally gets its datalink god damn it.]

:D I do not doubt that, should have been more specific. [insert frame frostie doesnt like and has no intention of flying it] :D Went with flanker because that is like 9/10 cases Frosties aircraft and I have a strong feeling he would not feel so great about exchanging it for something. :D Same as me without muh Baguette. Nobody is going to get me into any FC3 a2a platform. Not because I am of the "omg fc3 arcade" faction, more that I hate it not to have a proper navigation system. Anything without nav which isnt rotary just sucks imho. :D

No worries ! :) That is like saying make Frostie learn, I dunno, the [insert not flanker airframe] and let him fly that all the time. :D Not really an option I guess. :D
