Notching is the concept that if you're being locked by an enemy radar, and you are below and perpendicular to the radar source, it will lose lock. What HOTAS you got?

Stick with the F15 first and do not move on to any other plane until you have mastered it. The reason is that the F15 is a very simple plane and the concepts of air to air combat are much easier to learn in the F15 Learn the F15s systems and know them like the back of your hand. Especially the radar. But don't just learn how the f-15s radar works, learn how all radars work so that you can take those Concepts and fly any plane well. Then, I'd personally move on to learning air to air combat concepts. The two main concepts you will need to know are 1. BVR (Beyond Visual Range) fighting and 2. dog fighting. BVR fighting itself encloses concepts like notching, cranking, etc that you'll eventually learn. Here's a guide I made a while back which will show you the basics of the F15s radar, missiles, and one or two other systems: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i0dIEqC5xR4D7hJAcrOqpNr66E2x_06Z0cVt9drneqU/edit?usp=drivesdk

Not sure why this happens but it's common with all Russian aircraft. You need to apply a LOT of trim, like a LOT

What is the current effectiveness of CBU-97/105s on armored vehicles? I've read some posts saying that the CBUs are terribly ineffective, but those posts are a few yrs old, wondering if anything has changed since I don't use CBUs much.

It's not supposed to be challenging to find targets. That defeats the purpose of FLIR. If I wanted a challenge I'd use TV.

How dare you! :lol:

How do you ID Shilkas from long range without a TGP? And what's SEM

So ingress at medium altitude, do SEAD or drop a few bombs, and then RTB. I don't know if that sounds very appealing to me, sounds like most of the time you're just flying to and from base. I enjoy the loiter over the AO.

People say, and I agree that taking 6 Mavs and 4 GBUs is a ridiculous load out. But the other day I noticed that: Weight of 6 AGM-65Ds is similar to the weight of 2 AGM-65Ds and 4 GBUs. Both load outs allow you engage 6 high priority targets. So is there any reason to not take just 6 Mavs and no bombs?

How will tactics in the Hornet differ from those we use in the Warthog? Do hornets fly any CAS? Or do they just sit above angels 15 and attack pre planned targets with GBUs?

That's all I've been looking for :)

Now imagine that on the 104th, where there are no labels, and you have to search through an entire town and the surrounding area for targets to kill in order to progress to the next target area :protest::ranting:

Cmon guys, 130 views and only 20 votes?

Yeah, I thought if at least like 100 people voted yes, they might at least RECOGNIZE the problem, but it seems that most people who view it don't even vote Edit: only 20/126 people that have viewed the thread actually voted

Np. I hope I get a high amount of responses in the poll, hopefully that might prompt ED to at least address this issue

I checked on two servers, doesn't seem like this is restricted by IC

Should the TGP's FLIR be improved/fixed? Although there are already multiple posts regarding this topic, I've created this poll simply to see how many people see this as an issue. For those who haven't already noticed, targets are extremely hard to find in the WHOT/BHOT modes of the TGP because of how they blend in with the terrain. Below are some single posts that basically summarize the problem: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2610156&postcount=31 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2610649&postcount=38 Below are two threads about this topic: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=156085 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=153308 Many of us aren't expecting ED to rush in, put this up at #1 on their to-do list, and fix it immediately. All we want is acknowledgement that this is a problem and that it will be looked at eventually.

When you say "fixes for the visibility lua" are you referring to this? https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2620174&postcount=70

My frustration with ED grows day by day

I won't be at my PC for like another 10 days, so if someone doesn't get to it before I do, I'll be happy to. Integrity Checks and blurry TGPs are the two things keeping me and many other away from DCS right now.

Will this pass integrity checks?

Ok so assuming that this issue may get fixed with 2.5 and/or the Hornet, which are a long way away, what can be done now to solve this issue with the TGP? Terrain mods might work, but don't pass ICs.

What do you mean "merge to DCS 2.5 with all terrains in one version"? Is DCS 2.5 going to have the Caucasus terrain?
