=RvE=MicroVAX Ze one and only Baguette2000c ! looking forward ! :)

Looks really nice ! Especially excited about all metal structure and push trhough detents. One question though, will the Grips be swappable as anticipated ? Also can we get a picture of the control elements on the front of the throttle ?

The memes continue, I actually got an a2g kill, shortly before i got quite literally stabbed in the back with a maverick. :D Gotta say these 120kg mine warhead mavs are the most reliable anti air warhead in dcs. Makes very sure, that the target is _very_ dead. Thats puts red at 2 total a2g kills, the politbureau declares major victory! ;D Very nice stream coverage from Maverick ! :)

Am I right assuming one can put the master mode in a relative axis mode as the gate and vice versa ? I cant really think of a usecase for a relative axis and would want both in absolute mode, I guess its possible just making sure.

Welllll that would be kinda bad, I hope it doesnt happen like that :D. Unless we get interflight jtac access or something, an hour is not exactly enough to produce coordinates for cartridges and a delivery plan.

Since its only 3 days left: In what Form will we get intel on the targets ? What kind of air defences will be present ? There is still time but its kinda important for planning with the Viggens in terms of priotizing/stores, since it doesnt really have the spotting capabilities of the av8b. :)

Yeah DYK is a weird non CCRP mode atm, afaik it should be basically CCRP with steering cues.

=RvE=MicroVAX Germany Viggen

I agree with having frames side exclusive and I agree that trying to balance things to the limit doesnt really work. Real conflicts also have IFF hell if you dont have iff interrogator go for markings. Immersion killer on a setup where hostile farps can be inside 30km of your own airbase. I dunno I really love blueflag but by all means its not a realistic war scenario, its a very nice wargame. Player numbers didnt even work with symetric a2g frames, numbers of lifes does only work if one side has a life pool which _definitely_ will run out within the average play time of a player. And people already dont like 4 lifes limiting them. So I dont think that would be more popular in the first place. AI flights are a better joke. a2a and a2g. When you give the side in disadvantage 2x+ the AI to compensate maybe will bring some kind of force equality. Air defences could be a way. What i really am fine with if high fidelity frames get split reasonably across factions. viggen red harrier blue or vice versa. for example. Or bind it to airports as captured equipment. But the option "blue gets all the toys becaus muh nato vs pact feelings will be hurt" imho doesnt reflect majority of players nor does it help the setup. I dont opt for the same frames on both sides forever, I opt for it as long as we dont have a concept of in which way frames get assigned to factions. This setup as I think you would like: f14 f18 f15 f4 m2k vs su27 mig29 m2k a10c av8b viggen vs su25t uh1 gazelle vs mi8 ka50 Would just kill blueflag tbh. I am not the guy that opts for omg it has to be balabced. But flying both sides has to be interesting from a module selection standpoint f15 f14 f18 m2k f4 vs su27 mig29 jf17 m2k f4 a10c viggen vs av8b su25t uh1 gazelle vs mi8 ka50 Something like this. both sides have options but only planes that really are probably to be met on both sides are symetric. not "balacned" but interesting for both sides and no iff hell. Thats all I propose. In the end its anyways not us who decide but ciribob and xcom :D

Harrier only on blue, thats sad. lots of fun to be had with it, sad only blue gets it. And if someone now jumps out of a bush and says "muh muh muh nato vs pact feeling", I appreciate that but its not going to be viable for blueflag for a long time. We got to figure something out imho attack symetric is ze way to go. For the moment its just the fun to be had tbh. :)

#flankersmustsufferbaguetteistheonlyway So good to have BF back, hope it holds.

Math. The ARBS is due to be reworked completely post early access release so I wouldnt read too much into it but indeed its wrong in many ways.

Thanks for the explanation, I guess we have to wait until ED provides some propper engine functionality for complex weaponry. Really appreciating that it exists with the features it has despite the odds of having to guide it around with a laser spot. :thumbup: For the TAKT inputs I am well aware of the need to switch it from default to manually selectable parameters, most of it works but the alt after bx6 doesnt change. Another example is iirc setting seeker limits left and right and bearing search but theese havent impacted me as much and I would have to test again if its still the case.

There is still 2 bugs with the RBS15 which are limiting their operational use quite considerably. The first one is traveling altitude after bx6, this should be settable to 10m or sea skimming afaik. It allways stays at 10m though. The way more problematic bug though is that the missile still "hangs up" once it turns more then 90 deg off weapon release heading. I am very sure that the real thing doesnt do that, it should even be able to do a 135 deg turn still after bx7. This is very limiting epecially when firing from land inwards or in general trying to get missiles to hit a specific target. version is 1.5.8 beta but it hasnt worked since release afaik so version number should probably be irrelevant. :) Edit: hangup as in any controll inputs stop and the missile crashes into the water surface.

Everything is subject to change. TM

Im for guns only because fun and all. :D

Yeah as feared I have to cancel my participation in 2v2 as well, replacement is not going to arrive before next week. S!

My thoughts:

The Viggen has shown its possible already, to have a simple text file from which waypoints radio settings etc can be loaded. It would be really important imho for the F18 to have similar capability since the platform is very strike focussed, so planning has a big impact. Especially in coop it would be very helpfull to simply distribute one file, have that read in by everyone in their own DCS instance and have the same setup for all. Or even if you have a mixed package and prepare files for everyone. It would be ideal ofc if we got the mission planner from SP for MP with given capability. thanks for your attention.

The MK40 can actually be employed against land targets. That should be fun. :)

Unfotunately I have to withdraw as the pitch axis roller bolt broke on my joystick and I wont be getting replacement in time. x) [cancelling 1v1 for now, if I can get replacement going for 2v2 I am not sure yet] S!

Well except its warhead is a lot bigger and you can tell it to go to narnjia via coordinates from atflir standoff like and run. :D

I would say AIM120D is mildly unlikely given the thing isnt even 2 years in service and I am not even sure 18c has it on the navy. Im looking forward to 1x tank 2x slam-er 2x harm 1x aim120 1x atflir 2x aim9. And hopefully 4x itald 6x aim120 1x tank 2x aim9. For the banter 1x tank 2x aim9 1x harm 1x harpoon 1x slam er 3x aim120 1x atflir. :D
