  1. Title says it all, write down your preferable tactics below.:) Thanks, PB8
  2. ok right, lel thx for the replies...
  3. I found this folder on my Bazar\liveries Does this mean a mig-29k in the future or can any1 give me an explanation??
  4. I have this problem in DCS where everytime I startup in my custom missions, the mission would start on the f11 camera view and none of the objects appear.:helpsmilie: Keep in mind this only happens if the custom missions is ai only. Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks.:)
  5. When starting a mission in the mission editor, the game would just go to the F11 camera view and none of the planes would spawn. I run version 1.5.5.58891 I have no crash log but i will post my dcs.log file in the replies Mind you, this only occurs when i start missions with ai only, if i am in control over one of the planes, its no problem... Any solution would be highly appreciated, thanks...
  6. :/ Well im happy to report that the problem has been solved, thanks Blaze for your patience with me as its my first time working with channels and so on..
  7. I saved it as 32 bit tga and then put it on dcs and still no solution :(, am I doing something wrong again ??
  8. am i doing it right ??? because it didnt seem to do anything :(, or am i suppoused to do something when saving ?? @darkfire hehe, thanks, and yes they are transparent..
  9. I decided to make my own custom pilot patches and when I did put in on dcs (its on my f-15c btw) I have this problem where there is a white box surrounding the patches, normally, it would just show the patches. fyi. I saved the picture as pilot_F15_patch_18_sqn.tga and i saved it as a .dds file (I added .tga in the end because the default patches did so, but it is a .dds file). I wonder if I did anything wrong in making this and im asking you guys for a possible solution to remove the "white box"... Photos: my custom patches file photo, ( saved as pilot_F15_patch_18_sqn.tga): The problem: Any suggestions highly appreciated..
  10. Well, i would say, at least improve ai tactics on coordination with other flights, because many times, engagements have felt more like a free for all..
  11. The reason I made this thread is that maybe if any of you know more info on fighter tactics than me, we can discuss on it here. Based on what i saw, an engagement with ai on dcs is more like a free-for all, fighters just attack you individually, with no coordination with the rest of the flight, so maybe thats something ED can improve on first, and develop the rest later
  12. Yeah, its a shame, maybe we can get the third-party companies to make the coding for the ai, or is this kinda stupid? idk, if not just implement the fighter tactics that are easier to implement first, and then we'll see
  13. Trust me, I'm sure they can do it themselves as i cant code at all. Start by some research and pilot interviews, I remember watching a documentary once that a soviet tactic against f-15 radar is to blend in with ground reflection and release chaff
  14. From my observation, the ai in the game just attacks at you using any sort of tactics it wants, and most of the time, it works, but I think it would be better and more realistic if the fighters uses tactics from their respective countries, so western fighters use western tactics while russian/soviet aircraft uses Russian tactics. The tactics used will also depend on the aircraft used, so a mig-29 driver will use tactics differently to su-27 drivers. Ps: Im talking about dog-fighting tactics and maybe we can use the tactics of the countries to some extent for the BVR arena. What do you guys think ??
  15. FYI, usually in situations where we are going head on, my philosophy is just to close it as soon as possible, or else he might shoot me, and for me, aim-9m is not the best in head on.. From experience, during a head-on you can use aim-9m when its a bit far, but then, IMO the vertical scan in an f-15 doesnt always lock on well, and by the time you fire, he's too close.
  16. Help!! It seems that i cannot load the a2a missiles in the body pylons on the f-15e (Not the wing, keep in mind) Any solution to that ?? Thanks
  17. Because, based on experience, thats the best way to start off in a merge
  18. Once i was lucky enough to do that, and the missile missed, only if the f-15 engines could be more responsive and cut on demand Hey, dont saudi and korean f-15's have the GE engines on them, wonder if theyre any better, i heard theyre much better than the PW engines..
  19. The main thing about this dogfight is basically to kill the flankers before it gets to use its r-73 missiles, so its basically who can get to weapon parameters first
  20. You sir, just fixed EVERYTHING !! I set my speed to 500 knots and halved the fuel, and the plane became seriously agile, and it really made the dogfight much easier. Do you think that changing the speed and fuel of the sukhoi will make it harder ?? Thanks, Prototypebayu8
  21. How dog-fighting 2 su-27s in excellent difficulty with an f-15c is basically an insanity test from hell... :helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie: Before we start: I just want to say, this is based on my own experiences, and im writing this down so maybe some of you guys with much more experience than me can maybe tell me some good tactics to use in this type of scenario, or maybe some of you have the same thoughts as me, and would like to share their experience... :helpsmilie::helpsmilie::helpsmilie: 1.) The dogfight.. So, usually i practice my skills in dog-fighting in a scenario i'd like to call "The Merge", where 2 aircraft, are facing one another not far away from each other at 270 knots and once they cross, the dogfight starts. This is the scenario i used for my dog-fight with the 2 sukhois This is a screenshot of f-15 vs 2 su-27 in my editor: Now, the dogfight.. This is seriously difficult and it is mostly because the f-15 wasnt really able to point its nose in any direction, and it feels so heavy, and to add to that, 2 sukhois are shooting at just YOU, and its a huge miracle if the r-73 missiles they have, missed.. After countless attempts I finally got to shoot down both sukhois and heres the video if you want to have a look.. [ame] [/ame] Keep in mind I was just really lucky that in 0:45 I was in the perfect position to kill the second Flanker, in my other attempts, he would be in perfect position for a missile shot. It would be easier if: 1.) I had an aim-9x, which will mean i would be more likely to hit them, especially head-on 2.) An HMD, which will make up for how difficult it is to point the f-15's nose 3.) if the su-27 used r-60s instead 4.) If there was only 1 sukhoi <-- Did this many times and won many times 5.) If were in an F-22 6.) Possibly if the sukhoi pilot is using another tactic 7.) I lower the difficulty (Duh) 2.) MIG-29G I added this part because I did this dogfight again, albeit with a mig-29g and it really made a diffrence. How you ask ? The Mig is FAAAAAAAR more resposive, and the part I really love is how you can point your nose at any direction, and that makes it easier to shoot your enemies down, I didnt even use the HMD in this dogfight to use the missiles, which btw are the same that the sukhois use (R-73) and it is superb And this made me realize something, if i was in an aircraft such as something like an f-16 with aim-9x and hmd, I would also shoot down those 2 sukhois just as easily as i was in the mig-29, and it will probably be even easier in something like a Eurofighter which i believe has IMMENSE nose pointing capabilities and a monster engine. 3.) Conclusion In conclusion, the f-15c should just fight the enemies in the BVR arena, where its radars and AMRAAMs dominate, and even if it were to dogfight, fight something which is less agile than a Flanker, and doesn't attack in packs, other than that, leave it to the f-22 (Which btw would easily win this dogfight hands down). For those of you wondering why I wrote an entire thread about an f-15 fighting in a place it would definitely lose in, is mainly because its a possible scenario, they dont produce the f-22's anymore and this proves that we need to create tactics or plans so that the f-15 can prevent a scenario like this. Fortunately the f-15c's that the air force decided to keep to fight alongside the f-22s are getting upgrades such as new computers,radar, an IRST pod, and the possibility to double its missile load, and that will increase its ability to fight against possible future enemies. What we learned today: 1.) In this sort of dogfight, you're better off with an f-22, Mig-29, Eurofighter, or an F-16 2.) The USAF better make sure the f-15 doesnt get to this situation, or at least the USAF better make sure those upgrades will ensure that f-15 wins a possible engagement like this. 3.) ED really needs to make a new module of the f-15 with these new upgrades Thanks For reading, sorry for any mistakes
