Nope isnt. Dunno, when RVE was on red, red magically got more players. I have no Idea what to think anymore about this. Simply feels like the average player on any side which is in the disadvantage is like a little girl and says "No not gonna join this is so unfair :cry:". While the average player on the side beeing in an advantage is like "lets join buddyspike server, dis is gonna be good". And please I said ANY side. Do not start assuming I only mean red or only blue. :P

Viggen hype has to much drift, needs fix. :lol:

I wont quote Einstein on whos fault it is if some explanation gets misunderstood.

do you see the ***km on the right. Aircraft has no range at that moment. If that is right or wrong is up for discussion, for TAS. RS should give you an calc no matter wat, if within bank limits.

I am getting a really strong feeling something with the netcode is just wrong. A lot of people are reporting terrible DM state, a lot of people say its fine. Thing is I would do testing. But people are immune to numbers nowadays so I can just scratch that Idea right away. RIP.

Very unlikely Tacan VOR is super low tech. Its just a heavy device thats why fighters tend to not have it installed. But A10c has it due to A10 reasons :D But that would be something ED has to fix, not razbam. :)

Direction to other aircraft which have the VOR transmitter works. Mirage itself just has DME transmitter. So other aircraft get only range from mirage, but mirage gets heading to other aircrafts which transmit VOR also. Such as tonkerz and A10c.

Depends. In a serious full out war, dunno, remains to be seen how secure IFF is. But I agree, in general a valid response is more unambiguous then none.

Hmmm, yeee maybee all choppers, trainers, the Tiger and the Fishbed should get 8. Would encourage people to do more in those frames I guess. Well, last round was the same and RED roflstomped blue. I honestly think the numbers are more up to publicity and other random things. At least I am getting the feel after 4 rounds and a ton of testing I took part in. Someone gets the upper hand and the other side stops joining. Who gets the initial upper hand is down who gets more people due to randomness or better organized push. Anything which makes things less roflstompy again is a good thing imho.

Its closer to reality then perfectly working IFF. There is a reason BVR is not a thing IRL very often ! :D

Yeah I meant the Gazelle not the KA50, I didnt anywhere state that I meant the Ka50. That thing also doesnt get 8 lives atm. :P :D The Gazelle had 4 in the beginning and that was perfectly fine, I have no Idea why it got more features AND more lives.

yuuup

I mean we did talk about Viggen Training in Mirage before and while there is a technical possibility to rearm/refuel at FARPs, it didnt work that time. But it definitely shows the liability of operation from in the middle of nowhere roadbases in DCS. :D

Yee in the state it is atm it imho should have 4. Its too stronk for 8. If it didnt have cargo and troops I would say more is fine but with all the things in one frame, 4 seems legit to me.

Really noice !! So 10 rows with 5 and 10 rows with 6 dents ? That still leaves us with 73gram EFPs, which still gives it 84% of the muzzle energy of a 2a42 which should still be sufficient to penetrate anything which isnt a MBT within 100m. But distribution should be better since the dents are "firing" the EFPs with 18degrees between them and not 23 like with my expected 16. Funny bit is I did calculate two sets of 10, but didnt believe it and did go with the pessimistic 16. :DD might update the graphic at some point. I would say that is definitely good news, since its still enough to take out anything dangerous to yourself like SPAAG and SAMs and that probably even out of 100m, while increasing the density. RIP DCS engine though 2640 EFPs per BK90 now so 10560 EFP per Viggen load. Ehehehe. :D

BF is running 1.5.4. 1.5.5 is incompatible with 1.5.4 on a networking level. Dunno how often I said that already :D

Pretty stronk meme moments yesterday: If I had knewn that the anti skid seems not to be operational without engine power I would have done a better job at not dying in the end I guess.

Well its probably way more correct then before. :DD

No Transwarp RTB anymore.

Indeed I didnt take that into account. Thats a very good point.

You can do that in the replay, just open le track in ME, enfore f10 views all, problem solved.

Its fine, I am bad at taking things personally, I just noted it ! ;P Its very much possible to put everything in mathematical terms. I would not use numbers though. Numbers would be indeed a PITA to formulate such things in but it can be done. And oh well the unkown can be measured: https://youtu.be/eI91bT-p5Oc?t=1819 For once the triggering and secondly maybee even more interesting is the picture where they actually measured a positron but thought they didn't. Employment of aircraft can be described by statistics. Pk is such a thing and often misunderstood. I dunno how often that chart made its appearance. The BVR advantage/disadvantage of aircrafts over the flanker. But I agree that its not easy nor trivial nor matches the calibre of such statistics the calibre of the problem we are facing. :D But its possible. I see the problem you are having with the disappearing of backbone tasks such as refueling and CSAR. I did a lot of refuel runs before but atm its simply not adding anything. And I also get that 2 slots is not exactly ideal. I do not think though 4 MI8 slots would be Ideal either. Gazelle L variant on red side would be noice I guess. The russian cammo looks so russian its extremely hard to misidentify as bluefor. :D

Yeah, as I said I do agree that the rambo gazelle setup is not sensible and pretty unfair unless the mi8 gets similar capability. Also no questions asked multi tasking beats speed in most scenarios. The only thing which makes me consider the problem not as severe is that practically 8 people running around doing oneshot deployments is practically never happening. If they did I would agree that red should at least get 6 mi8. But with the situation atm I would say 3 max 4 are fine. I think practically you can also reduce slots per gazelle type to 1 and stick with 3. But I dunno one would really have to do some statistics to see how slots are utilized and whats connected to them beeing utilized. Yeah the gunners are indeed magic, as is the "we do not care about EGT"-functionality.

Honestly I really have a high opinion of you bodyorgan, but you get emotional so freaggin fast. And I honestly do not see why. Except my indeed trolish question about what cant be described by math, since I found that statement that math cant tell you everything pretty funny. I mean there is things math cant tell you things about because nobody can. But you can pretty much formulate everything you can think into math. You would be amazed by the amount of operators that is out there. I said 2 times in my lengthy post that I do not have good data on startup times and kindly asked you to give me the times you would regard realistic. I was freaggin honest there. I ddint say "not factoring in startup times is legid, redfor 1337 mi8 fast startup squadron op". I did literally say "So lets say 1 Minute for deploy and takeoff. And I am still not factoring in start time. I have no good data on that one. If you have, please provide it or do calcs with them factored in." Your next statement is redundant. As long as I do not have any data, I cant make a well educated statement. Its not that I do not believe you that the uh1 starts faster, its more that I cant factor in that part since I do not know how much faster. I am legitimately saying that I do not know that part and asking for halp TWICE and all you read is "OMG REDFOR OP". Also I did say that I can see one more mi8 for Redfor working well, actually improving the situation. So why exactly am I not understanding that there is an situation favouring one side ? I mean the only bluefor helicopter which can attack stuff without dying is the 342m pretty much. The L has worse armament then the Mi8 by far, the mistral, well its the mistral lets not talk about that 1960s rear aspect BS launcher, uh1, I dunno. Thing is really taking down shilkas, the rest works for me. It gets really complicated if you now try to factor in the gazelle doing both rolls attack and cargo. And I will not be going there. But I indeed agree that all gazelles having bomber call in plus troops plus crates is not really sensible. I want to remind you that I opted for Redfor having 2 mi8s which get the same bomber strike capability before I am sticking to that. I think with 6 Mi8s its possible. ;P Well well, I guess I will go and measure startup times myself and come back later. :)) Its actually funny that you end with REDFOR is allways op since the argument started with the statement that bluefor is OP and my point was, that looking at the numbers Redfor is in a disadvantage but not in terribly big one. I asked for input to refine the statements I made, nobody took the torch. But honestly I am interested in a more precise statement then "good enough" so I will take some measurements. :) And I indeed would not be surprised if you are right.

That is some next level bullshit. Even in calcs heavily favouring the MI8 regarding your statement that the performance is equal for blueflag relevant tasks the mi8 is 20% faster. Try taking a gazelle from mm59 OVER the mountains to Beslan. AKA do not take the Canyon of death. You have to go slower then 80kph to get over them. Had you ever to slow down to 80kph in a mi8 to climb over that stuff ? I guess not. Huey is struggeling a little with altitude. Gazelle really is just at the edge of killing the engine 99% of the time up there. Nobody said its impossible. They are just a lot worse at handling higher altitudes then the mi8, not even talking about KA50 :D
