microvax

ouhh yis. Anything about rb05 and BK90/DWS39 will be received by me like a sponge. :D

I know the feels, flying DCS since february. Hell my first flights in blueflag ended terribly. xD

:megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol: :DD And the CCIP pipper is also broken, no A/G pipper for the guns, no launch warnings etc. etc. etc.. :DD So yeah its more banterous then really breaking. :D

Do the 530s track behind you ? xDDD Who needs high angle off boresight IR if you can have 360 radar coverage. xD

Somehow not sorry since it only had half its armament the last week. But I get the pain with the russian RWR. xDD But honestly its not RAZBAMs fault, ED messed up. Razbam is really fast at bug extermination. EDs patch cycle is the biggest thing stopping the mirage from not beeing broken.

I would say that equalizes the magic bug. :D Dont tell redfor ! :D

Yup.

Ah kay didnt catch that one. Damn it you got me ;DD No but honestly I am not WOT intentionally. I am below microvax average on post volume. Sorry :lol:

I do not conceive it as a war it is an discussion, an exchange of info and interpretation of observations. You can declare a discussion as war if its against an obviously flawed thing like chemtrails but I would not consider our discussion here "a war to be won". And please, if you start a conversation, you have to expect an honest answer. And if the issue is missinterpretation, the solution should be more info, since more info is, if read with a constant interest in understanding the point, makes the probability of missinterpretation smaller. Last time: I am not making a point that numbers arent a problem. And yes defense in that case is easier, but if we are at 2:1 or 3:1 that shouldnt be a problem either. Ah kay, since you didnt specify that you meant that you face the same subset of problems I thought you meant you face [all] the same problems. Well I wouls say anyway that we face different problems which lead to similar outcomes. :D Fighting as a team is allways fun. Outcome doesnt matter. 'would be redfor if the people i like to fly with werent bluefor. If the next round ist split framesets again I will be flying red. Even if you do not have glorious mirage. I miss muh KA50 and mi8. uh1 is simply meh performance wise and gazelle is only fun for so long. :D [And mirage has broken CCIP pipper, which is ultra meh.] I noticed that you did, I did just did make a small joke.

I doubt its the KA50s fault. Its true that mi8 + ka50 is a way better kombo then an uh1+342m but on the other hand we have the mirage and a10c. So yee. I think the plane setup is fine. The only thing I do not get is the ka50 intel capture but, well its not breaking stuff that hard that it annoys me. I wouldnt neither say everyone on red is experienced, random ka50 pilots getting shot down by stationary chaparals, I am looking at you. But I would say something about experience and or teamwork works better on red then blue for sure. :D

See my other lengthy post about the first paragraph. For the second. We are trying. If you tell us why we are failing at this we could possibly win this round. xD

You often claim I am saying the inbalance in player numbers is okay. I do not. And I do not know how often I do have to stress this. I do say I would have more fun beeing outnumbered with a small group of communicating people, tblisi defence was one of the best things on blueflag for me, then the clusterF on bluefor atm. :D Pls give me a literate interpretation where I did rationalize it and claimed that redfor has less problems or pull your statement. I hate it when people claim I say something I never intended to say neither I can find that I did say something like that while rereading my post. I did even say a fight we should easily win due to the numbers but dont due to the terrible orga. If you had as terrible orga and experience issues as bluefor you should have lost by now by logic. A la two forces of equal quality and equal organisation meet each other, the stronger should win by logic. So I make the claim that your interpretation of the conditions are the same on both sides is incorrect. And I dont know how you can make the statement blue cant know how redfor life is but redfor can how bluefor is, since you said its the same. So atm you are pointing the finger at bluefor as well, by saying bluefor is pointing fingers at redfor. :D Lots of pointers here, I like pointers but that is normally in C. [Manual memory management FTW] I just said its a terrible experience. I didnt say redfor is a compelte different story with the frustration. :D What is in my scope different that on average I see more people on redfor that I respect as good pilots then on bluefor. I mean that observation can be broken due to my perception of pilot skill. And possibly due to my timeframe scope. But I think thats the only reason redfor isnt loosing hardcore and we tend to have a situation where neither of the sides can achieve and hold a gain on teritory. Thats everything I wanted to say. Not that that is good, fun, great, desireable, sustainable. It was just an observation and report of my experience of round 8 so far. :D I mean sometimes I am not sure if I am terrible at writing or people are terrible at text interpretation. But since there is no literate proof of me beeing terrible at writing since people dont seem to catch my point, I cant proof that myself very well. So I am waiting to be proven a terrible author or will keep saying peoplz plox read me posts and question yourself if I am really making the point you think I am making ! Or prove my terrible writing. Something like that. :D Oh and btw, I will have to inform the party about your wastefull utilisation of tu22m3s, comred. ))) Theese things arent cheap ! ;P Dont call them if you do not have a transport heli at all. :D

The stall in this thread is real it seems like everything has been said we are prepared as good as possible and now we are sitting here waiting for the release. :D

Dunno about squadrons but i can agree round 6 and 7 were way more fun simply due to the fact that we had a working gorup, at least kinda working group, going. Round 8 is the biggest cluster F since I joined round 6. The testing for round 8 was fun, not because blue had the upper hand but because we had working large scale operations. I do not care about the outcome that much, if the coordination worked I do not care. Try harder. But if there is cluster F all over the place AND it doesnt work, omg the frustration is real. :DD Edit: Might it be possible to get a list of who is on which frequency on SRS ? That would be really helpfull in case of GCI. Sometimes you simply dont know if people arent there, arent on that freq, arent listening or whatevar. Isnt really "realistic" but it would be appreciated if possible.

... yeah... experience of outnumbering red 2:1 yesterday. A mirage which first shoots down our A10c striking a farp, which was at least not terrible, tbh for a pilot not speaking in TS he was pretty good spotting a ka50 around the farp etc.. After that shooting our only f15 CAP in the west, so he had to go defensive while merged with ai mig29. On just telling him to use if he is like there were no friendlies. Someone who volunteered to do GCI after I was simply to freakin tired to take the frustration of not beeing able to do anything. Just freakin left without saying anything, literally 3 min after he said he is going to do it. Gazelles that are freakin hovering more then 50m above the ground for no good reason. And mainly just a terrible lack of a constant of CAP that can do shit. We never have that constant of at least some people in fighters online which can do shit. And its simply annoying as hell. I dont say all theese people are terrible pilots I dont know them mostly, dont know if they are just new to the frame or whatevar. But what I can definetly say there are soooo many unexperienced people who often make the majority of CAP in the area... Its literally feeling like you are kirk in the wrath of Khan if you doo GCI for blue at theese times. You technically have a great ship, you should beat the enemy no problem, thing is you have a freaggin crew of rookies, with practically zero experience. And the amount of experienced crew is just barely able to pull a victory if you want to call the end of wrath of Khan a victory. :D EDIT: IF someone is going to interpret this post as complaining: A: It is not B: It is not. I am just describing that pretty tragic experience of feeling powerless to coordinate the people you have to pull of a win on teritory. :D

HOW CAN YOU DROP SINGLE GBU12s without the CCRP pipper o.o. Me wants ! I do bombing runs at 60k ft at mach 1.1, but I allways have to do the annoying pitch down to get the pipper to work........ And even that only has 15km slant range.

For the f15 radar you only see stuff as gci if they STT something, I dont even think TWS is enough. For groundunits its really just weird what they spot and what they dont spot. In general spotting in DCS is a lil bit weird. imho. Stuff like Tank spots you insta if you pop over cover, like instantly at 4km. And Im like, hey mate you are a t55 not a freakin Tunguska. :D But you can get within non firing zone of a SA13 if you fly low enouhg, it actually engages with a 7.62 or 12,something which is hilarious. :D Happy to have a conversation about how to hide your helicopter after blueflag since we both like to be undetected and stuff. :D

Honestly you do not want to play when its 3:1 on blue. The clusterF is just to much. Beeing with 10 coordinatable people against 20-30 random arse failing people is way more enjoyable then the other way around.

Yep I know, said last page already talking about it since round 6 but admins tended not to believe me it seems. :D And also some redfor people rushed to the keyboards to say the loss of blue assets was completely legit. So I simply accepted it. :D Caesar had an easier stand then me here sometimes. xD would give greag rep for his post but cant it says I have to give it to someone else first so you get it rocco for beeing an honest communist ! :D ;P

It did have them before 10 minute save warning. If you want I can provide track file from 15 min before the restart. :) Video recording, Track and Tacview file cann al be handed in which show more then bunkers 17min before restart. After restart beslan was closed, still blue, but closed.

Ah kay thakns for the info, I guess then its a myth that EWR doesnt spot you if you are 20m or lower and slower then 180kph, allways doubted it but well now I know it. So you have to stay in the radar shade all the time, that is practically close to impossibel from the north on beslan. I hate that. On practically every other Airfield or FARP or city you can get within 5km while staying in radar shade if you do a flightplan follow that and stay below 10m. Beslan is pretty much only possible from the west but there were KA50s and SA6 sites. :D didnt attack them for a reason. :D But well as long as GCI did spot me and it wasnt the eyes or sensors of anything flying around I am happy. According to the ka50 callsI got your helis were operating south of beslan, so nobody expected sneaky microvax from the north. ))) Yeah, the thing is if you are really flying below 10m, trying to stay below that at least, with non working trim, non working altitude, which is only barometric btw, hold, and you are trying to find as much stuff as possible to put between you and the Beslan radars you dont get much time to scan for threats, other then the front 45degrees lets say. but tbh if you are spoted and or locked by a KA50 beyond 1km you are toast in a gazelle anyway. Noticed the su27 only until i saw the s8 impacts. ^^ But as said I had my fun and 2,8km within 5km range for no friendly units within 50 miles is acceptable by my standards. If the units spot stuff in the flight params I was strafing for and to my knowledge operating in, its really just LOS which can save you. I really wished the gazelle had the range of its actual sensors. But I guess the spot through walls under the horizon with all equipment powered down is just no good way of doing it for 15km range. Polychop actually tried to build a function into it which would give info about if something is in sight or not, but apparently it was terrible performance wise and wasnt possible to put into multiplayer. *sigh*. 5km is simply a pretty small area with pretty short interception ranges for machines which are all 70-120 kph faster then you anyway. :D Would enjoy peeking over ridges at 15km then relocating way more. Well this is how it is. Really good fun flying around with actually having to think about where the enemy is. [in helis] And next time I am probably going straight line to the target as soon as I get painted by radar from there. :D Did try to get behind the next city to the north of beslan. Mistakes were made. TM. EDIT: Yeah, checked in the recording you were in my view for like 0,8 seconds. Then I turned towards the su27 locking me, then the first shots started hitting me. Then I pulled straight for beslan and kinda lost my tailrotor if I am not mistaken. :DD

+1 asking for this since round 6 nobody seems to believe me sometimes. :DD Btw did the SU27, KA50 1 or KA50 2 got me 7,8km out to the north east of Beslan ? :D Edit:[Would also be interesting to know If GCI or a fighter or a heli did spot me. Was great fun sneaking around as long as it lasted but getting within 5k of beslan is really meh imho. :D Really adds to the fun of sneaking around that there was some ka50s to worry about. Trying to check the tack but as tracks are, you crash somewhere just because you flew low in the original one. Its really bothering me that you practically have to check tacview to clear theese kinds of questions, and you cant when your heli crashes in the track for no good reason whatsoevar. ] Didnt even know that all the freakin CAP was gone. :D

No was 2 days ago at ge-sa. I got the mi8 after some time but it was a struggle he just could have run away. :DD Reaper I guess that was a fair fight. :D Was good fun muh heartrate was a little through the roof, cant believe I survived that engagement and lived to tell the story. xD Good fun.

If you got someones 6 nothing is getting you off there in a gazelle. But getting there is hard since you cant really make more then 215kph in the 342l. Thats really its main draw back in heli to heli. Was flying behind an mi8 forevar trying to catch him, he never noticed me but I could not really catch up. xD But the little damage it can take is kinda made up for with beeing a pretty tiny target. Mistrals are going to be fun, but you still have to spot stuff...

I know the feels ^^. As soon as the gazelle haz le mistrals I am up for some trials against an ka50. But in a rigid gun mount heli I am not going to meet a KA50 headon. Simply never. :D Its just suicide. But for surprise the gazelle is pretty damn good.
