Well Leatherneck devs said you may spot aircrafts if you are a experienced operator iirc. So maybee you can spot a helicopter since its reflecting more then the average soil, but for a tank I do not have my hopes high. I guess its possible to make out target groupings since the reflection from that area should be stronger but no hopes for indifvidual targets tbh.

that is the a2g radar you are getting. You can spot things the size of a antenna mast, you can spot big terrain features and a well experienced operator may spot an aircraft afaik, but the max range resolution you can put it on is 15km, so imagine the part of 15km a tank is on that screen. So yeah, it acts as a map afaik for most of the time. But for RBS15 programming you actually have a cursor on the radar image so dunno. We will see. But for sure it will be stil up to you to manually interpret the image you are getting. Since Leatherneck has implemented raycasting and implemented different reflective characteristics for different objects, well possible that a experienced observer can kinda make things out, but there is nothing like target recognition by the radar or anything in that regard.

I know that worked during the testing rounds with the grass starting 342ls. But that was before round 8. And if so going spectators would stop you from gaining a life back. :D It only gives the message when you land at farps or airbases, but you also get it back anywhere ? while beeing silent about it :D really ? :D Cant test atm because i dont have a gpu atm but ye if that is the case its pretty hilarious. :D Viggen would love that, 300-500m of road needed for landing only. :D And yeah reaper i would really go with frustration or rageleaveplane. :D I btw love the redfor mi8 pilots which still try to crawl on their wheels once they lost their tail but kinda crashlanded. :D Snowmand and I were engaged with 2 MI8s, that was the same 3hr rotation in which you got killed by an vulcan, one mi8 got taken down by a crashing su27 and the other one got intercepted by me, scrambling on full burners from gudauta to gj35, we got both mi8s, well I diabled the first one, then snowman and I took care of the second one, on the way back to the FARP I saw that disabled MI8 rolling towards the farp and I just gunned or rocketed him without changing flightpath. :DD So hilarious. :D

Well, if so, dunno on gh22, gj35, ln71, mm05, mm59 it works definitely, it still wouldnt make you loose a life if you didnt change to spectators, since its not bound to the death system at all, since that is not usable from a gameplay perspective really. So you cant escape loosing a life, as long as the mechanic is working as intended, you can only be denied getting it back. And also that myth about some vaziani life hack is a meme on its own. :D What is not a meme is that the tblisi/vaziani redwings get scrambled by the part of the mission blue b1b sitting on the tarmack. [At least that is my interpretation of the ai mig 29s from that base taking of at each rotation IF red owns theese airfields. @elmo I know your feels, but if there is a change I would 100% be for the same treatment for planes and helis. Its the same situation, the attacking forces have to take care about spooling up planes and have to kill the respawning forces again and again and again and again and yadayadayadayada. One could argue that irl nothing would get close enough undetected so it would be legid that helis and or planes start hot in case of an attack, but for a gameplay perspective i would really be for loosing a life when strafed on the runway/ and choosing another slot, if that is possible. But I dont have a problem with the situation atm. I would only really be for an equal treatment of FARPs and Airports or fixed and rotary for that matter.

I guess its called frustration. :D I am really surprised you didnt get the life mechanic yet, you loose your life when you take off, so you only get it back if you land at an airport/FARP. Dunno if it works with comm arrays. So unless you can spaceport to the next FARP/Airport you dont get your life back, so it isnt about not loosing it in the first place. :)

German wiki lies says the manpads version has enough coolant for 45 seconds of seeker operation. For the ATAM version I would honestly expect there to be an compressor for cooling.

There is really no schedule afaik, you can tell by the server changing weather/time of day each time its crashes on restart.

Someone said it has a target of oppotunity mode more like a traditional bomb, so possible. But main mode of release is just by coordinates afaik.

Nope, the german mig29s did run on the missiles which were part of the DDR inventory. Only thing they got were upgrades to the nav and radio systems to be nato compatible.

:D We have a wide range of very different GCIs. :D Dunno who that was, I think I only heard him one time. Thanks for the Kudos, yeah never engage a gazelle in a knife fight. :D Just dont. :D Except its a mistral version. :D

*glowing eyes* The hype will be real. :lol: Thx for the info though ! :) Literally cant wait, lectures for uni start in early to mid october. xD

Yee, duty cycle at high PRF should lead exactly to that, but good to know there is public infor. :thumbup: BTW: My first try at something Video thingy. Wild mix of an Sortie recap, a kill, and a little bluefor communications standard. :D Was one of the early sorties of mine in round 8, and one of the most enjoyable ones. I did even get close to running out of fuel in a heli in blueflag. [ame] [/ame] [so funny because you can literally hear how i didnt really buy GCIs "he's right on top of you". :D Actually at 2:50 you can see reaper passing through the FOV for literally 2 seconds. :D]

Thats the beauty of a doppler radar, anything that moves differnt to the plane then the ground is a visible target. Ground clutter DENIED Even without doppler shift filters trimmed for helicopter detection, you still should get a target recognition as long as the echo is strong enough. And If we want to know about that range, welllllll, ask the military what kind of gain their amplifiers and antenna has and how their emitting power look like. They will tell us for sure. :D Correct is that the speed indication should be wanky until its getting nullified by range factor. With the f18 you should be able to just go synthetic aperture radar, I guess. :D

Didnt know that, will have to try that out.

I am doing that. xD Yes they can carry rockets but no HEAT rockets which do anything to bunkers. s8KOMs just murder bunkers.

Nah, I dont really like to participate in the steamrolls by by far outnumbering red. I am talking about the attacks where we actually roll in with 2 a10c 2 huey 3-4 f15 and actually make it work.

The elphant in the room was, that I didnt check speed, I expected it to be some kind of pesky su27 in the valley. I noticed literally only when I was diving from space that it was a heli. Felt a little bad for him ^^. The Mi8 is a great piece of equipment, got my first air to air kill with it in blueflag. xD What I personally consider the mi8s huge advantage over the huey is the s8koms. An mi8 can deal with respawned bunkers 0 problem while a huey needs to rely on the mortar troops. Its just the way better heli compared to the huey imho, from a technical standpoint. Well i would be up flying, but #nvidiacantintodriverz.

I have been running round 6,7 and 8. Usually when blue is steamrolling its because at least some people got a coordinated strike going, blue starts loosing ground when nobody is there to do GCI and coordination even of uncoordinated flights. And blue tends to start to push back when the veterans show up again since blue is in trouble. :D And honestly last one is the most exciting imho. :D Most memeworthy moment in round 8 for myself was when I was literally merged with a meme 21 for freakin 6 minutes before he crashed into the ground. Both fox1s missed, then both fox2s missed, then loads of lead went past him and I only got one short burst on target. Then I literally stayed on his 6 for 4 minutes until he crashed into the next best mountain. xD GCI was like "can somebody finally kill that mig21, micro is merged for 5 minutes now". xD :lol:

true dat

As long as rotor blades do not create a doppler shift I could not agree more. :D The fighters mostly spoil the surprise, but as soon as blades create a doppler drift thats going to change drastically, I fear. Its much fun to sneak around. :D

Yup, apart from the moments when you detect an mi8 in a valley from 45 000ft fox 1 him at mach1.6 and its as banterous as it gets. Apart from that I agree that overall helis are the better anti heli devices, in comparison to fighters. While fighters should be better at detecting them, just relay their position and done.

Yeah, I know that you should see the helis even without a special filter option, just with some inaccurate readings in terms of speed as you said. I just thought you were talking about the special filter settings some g2a radars definetly have, dunno about a2a. But anyways, I am happy about every step closer to reality we can get sensor wise. *looks at theese terribly hot trees and cactus plants and chaff not beeing a radiowave reflecting object.*

There is radar ground clutter, at least its implemented what radar groundclutter leads to. If you are not looking up at the helicopter, it gets rejected as groundclutter by the doppler rejection. But there are Radars which actually have an doppler filter setting which looks for the doppler shifted echoes created by spinning rotor blades of a heli. So If we did get that on concerning radars a helicopter would be detectable independant of speed and altitude [EDIT: Without any of the described side effects]. Dont ask me if the f15 has it, I have no Idea. I am just for the radars that have it, getting it. :D EDIT: thx tharos for going into side effects for radars without a special doppler filter setting.

+1 Even if I love to do it to le fighter pilots. :D

I am looking forward to the memes that are going to be sideproduct of me running on red side this round. :D Just waiting for the distributor to send me a replacement GPU. #prayforGPU The memez are going to be good. And I am calling not only fc3 people arcade scrublordz, also people who do use allways alligned, no drift Mirage special option. [And as seen by the -z plural I am deadly serious about this topic and will ignore anyone ... *SARCASM*] And tbh I just do it for le banter. :D Just looking forward to be like "omg I am still alive and perfectly combat ready" when beeing hit by a missile in muh mirage and instantly die. xDDD The Inquisition will happen, soon, in your Redfor TS channel. ;)))) EDIT: Didnt even notice I scored that golden post.
