Yeah, but I think it's kinda hard to differentiate one from another. Meaning that two roommates in dormitory or just two brothers could be playing on the same connection. It's not like I'm trying to defend someone, it's just really to hard to say who's legit and who isn't :(

That's a very harsh and questionable offense. For example I NEVER EVER fly without my IRL friend who is a dedicated GCI (even in battlefield arcade style style games). If he's not online I simply won't log-in and waste my time. Contrary he's really only working for me and my other friend since he does not speak English good enough to be on general comms but usually advises other pilots in chat. So what, am I now considered a cheater?

Yahooo! I'm so glad you finally bringing it back!

I'm sorry for the off topic, but if you liked Chicken Hawk, you should probably check out Jayhawk 2-1 books by Michael Trout.

Huh, I thought that M2k is not yet supported by DCS-BIOS, do you mind to send me config/setup procedure in PM? Thank you

Speaking of "clicking", I wish I could use Saitek Pro Flight panels with M2k some day the same way they works with A10C.

I'm sure that I don't have to remind you that Mighty-29 could survive a direct impact of sidewinder and still continue fight with shredded wings and even w/o electronics and hydraulics.

Thanks for sharing this!

I agree that a live observer makes live easier but I doubt about "shooting on the run". TV camera cannot purely lock on target and frequently twitches reducing effective range of HOT3 missile. I did a couple of hits while staying on manual hover but it would be near impossible task to hit Strela-10 with HOT3 at ~4km range w/o going into auto-hover mode. Exactly ;)

1) I don't think it will fix the problem. As for now it's much more complicated and limited in terms of a combat appliance. But since the multi-crew is already in open-beta stage this might change. 2) Practice surely helps, but still it requires a lot of practice. The main issue is if the one has even a slightest side-slip it would most likely result in a crash. So yes, it's either auto-hover landing or decent amount of practice. Feel free to ask. I only have about 10 hours of flight time in Gazelle, but maybe I still can help you with something.

Sure they can, the question is: is pilot able to land Gazelle intact on any kind of terrain and surface in time? As for this moment Gazelle is extremely fragile compared to UH-1H/Mi-8

I agree with you, yet from my experience flying WWII era air-frames I can say that attempt to fix a broken balance by adding La-Fünf an groß Yak-Ein to a blue side is the worst idea ever. Just to clarify, I'm OK with restriction of any new module as "limited availability" for one side or another, but I'm against allowing anyone to fly everything. I've tried it before I know how it ends.

With all due respect Skipper, I don't think there is any kind of political problem. As Greg said before, it's more or less about new modules being introduced for BlueFor and players want to fly them and not sfm rusty FC3 counterparts. And changing Red vs Blue to Orange vs Green is just too ridiculous, since it won't solve the problem. Hell, we might even come to Carebear's funs versus MLP lovers down this road.

Blue: M2000 vs Red: SU-27 Haha, that's funny. It would only work if somehow Greg will find a way to limit number of R-27s it could carry. MiG-29A/S on the other hand will do the trick.

It's not how it should be by any means. I'd rather RTB/Glide than attempt to refuel with such quirky tanker with fuel left for 3-4 mins of flight on military mode.

-Pre-contact -Ready for pre-contact And il-78 immediately starts acceleration up to his max air speed making contact rather difficult thing. I never saw such behavior with Su-33 or F-15C

Air refueling is broken for M2K at this moment, however it's a nice idea overall.

I'm looking forward for such sort of cooperation and while I never had a chance to fly Ka-50 before I believe we could cooperate in terms of CAP/troop transport. That's exactly what I wanted to say.

That's a good idea, but it doubt that it could be implemented the straight way. Round 8 was my first round on the Blue side and to be honest I was shocked. Every time Red team had a least 1:2 numbers we (my squad) had to go completely defensive and we were still losing FARPS left and right. I know like a dozen of Red pilots who are capable of taking FARP/AF with only a few aircrafts in extremely small time frame and I have utter respect for them.

I have a very brief experience flying both of them, but from what I remember MiG-21Bis could carry 8 R-60/M if they are allowed or 4 R-13M1 (~AIM-9B) while F-5E is limited to only 2 Aim-9P/P-5. Still radar on 21bis is a total nightmare and you have to be careful while flying it, and F-5E is really novice friendly airplane in terms of handling and operations.

Mountains ;) I remember my straggle in Round 6 against 120Cs. The only way to fight F-15 without suicide was hiding at a very low altitude deep in the mountains and then firing R_27ET in their bellies. Ofc it requires a dedicated GCI to support you, but still, it's one of the best tactics for the red side.

Not as much as any Russian aircraft ingame ;) Yep, and they are correctly represented as MiG-29G in DCS FC3.

The thing is that Su-27/MiG-29 could track you using FLIR and you will never see it's coming until the very last moment.

I really hope that someday ED or some 3rd party will release proper Vietnam map. It will be so much fun just to fly it in Huey.

First of all I want to thank you Greg, Xcom and every other person behind Blue Flag campaign. Greg, may I suggest a little tweaking to a live limit system: Su-27, MiG-29, M2K, F-15C, A-10C and Su-25T lives capped at 2 per 6 hours. In addition MiG-21Bis, F5-E3, Su-25, L-39/Hawk and Maybe A-10A are capped at another (separate) 4-6 lives per 6 hours. This will allow players to remain active and still it will force them to use obsolete aircrafts if/when they will run out of lives.
