Mission bugged out again, you cannot engage ground targets as they are invincible. EDIT: They also do not attack you if you fly close

Is the Nevada map too small for a Blue Flag type mission? Not familiar with it, but maybe dropping 1.5.x for it could be a solution seeing that ED is working less on 1.5.x judging by the lack of updates coming for it. Question if the majority even has Nevada.

Fingers crossed that ED won't kill DCS MP completely instead of fixing it with the next update.

ED cares for their playerbase and knows that you are not outside long enough during the nice summer weather, so they killed DCS MP for a while.

Do you even realize that SimpleRadio is also a mod? Do you realize that the default terrain textures are copy/pasted Google Earth images where you can see smeared buildings from Google Earth bellow the building objects? Do you know that since 1.5 is out that the FLIR WHOT/BHOT view is so broken that you can barely see units as apparently ground has the same temperature as a running tank engine and this is only fixable with mods? DCS a simulator? Is that why TF-51D's are refueling whole airbases? Is that why helos can drop several ton heavy SAM units from magical crates? :megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol: And comparing sports to video games?:megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol: Whats next? You gonna tell us that we all need to have same PC specs, same internet speeds, same joysticks, if one guy has TrackIR and the other guy doesn't, both should play without it? Should I go buy the same chair as you have so my ass won't have an advantage over yours?:megalol::megalol::megalol::megalol:

I see, thank you for the explanation. Only one question though: What if there are no fighters to intercept them? If there are no enemies on the opposing team, either no fighters to intercept them or helos to deploy SAM's, what prevents a single TF-51D and a UH-1H/Mi-8 combo from capturing every FARP and SAM site?

But is this intentional? Wasn't it only 1 bomber for the whole map to avoid AI lagging the server? Also noticed that the deployed troops that come from helos and cleared objectives can be controlled by both coalitions forward observer. Was wondering why troops were being wiped out one by one while they were standing next to hostile troops with not returning fire and then checked their ROE. It seems this community still has issues.

Can TF-51D's call in two bombers at the same time? Or even more? Is this intentional or just a bug?

The guy helping out with the server jumped on TS and said that the cooling is down for the server room so the lag is probably mostly caused by the server overheating.

Realism in Blue Flag? Get out of here, that thing is not balanced.

So what would be the point of having a human GCI if we were to implement datalinks and AI GCI calls?

That's rich coming from the side that wanted the A-10C, Mirage, Huey and Gazelle while Blue doesn't even care if it has 25T's and MI-8's.

If you lack SA in Blue Flag and don't know where anyone is, then its time to get GCI up. And not in a way that would get you banned from most servers.

The whole Caucasus map is too small for proper air warfare, you can be lucky that helos even have a role to play because of the lack of a ground war.

Is it possible to beef up the radar SAM's at AFB's? Maybe replace the old SA-3 with the SA-11 that poses an actual threat?

Best thing for balancing the numbers in the testing phase would be to limit the coalition selection to a server round instead of a full testing phase but that could mess up other scripts in the background. Maybe even mix up the SAM defences for airbases by replacing the SA-3 with the SA-6/11. Is the Blue Flag mission available somewhere so people can try fixing problems or test out other scenarios?

Shhh RED cannot win so its easier to blame a server crash for everything.

Engaging at max range with DCS missiles? Are you people for real? Most of my Aim-7 launches were at 3nm max head on and the only thing the bandit had to do was launch a 27T or R-73, turn around and run.

Not to mention that DCS is a hungry beast in the hardware department with a lot of people playing on bad PC's. And if something intense happens their game lags out for a couple of seconds and this transfers to MP. Or they play with a bad internet connection with a lot of packet loss or anything really. Having people with over 200 ping doesn't help either.

How did it go?

Interesting, I said the same thing a couple of pages back yet somehow people still come here thinking that it is a good idea to post the way others cheat/abuse the system thinking no one is going to copy it. And posting that in thread with over 72.000 views so far.

Nice example how communication runs on blue. They learn from the best, from regular red players.

The same GCI that told Manzanita he is vectoring friendlies to teamkill him? Sure.. Before this round when blue was assaulting the last objectives, 1 SU-33's with its ER's and ET's required at least 3 dedicated blue fighters to counter and even in a 3vs1 scenario the 33 got at least 2 blue fighters before going down.

The only thing you are showing is how 27ER's and ET's would be too overpowered against AIM-7's and Matras.

Is this the part where BLUFOR can start crying? Give us AMRAAM's please, no balance.
