Apok

"When The Mountains Cry" needs maybe something given to Blue like a fast ground unit. I cant remember when Blue won that mission. We always rush all lakes with BMPs. Airwar is just a distraction. I know some complained Bradley is slow.

Rossmum, the interceptor or fighter confusion comes mainly from whats USSRs concern was. And that was bombers. You must look at requirements given to plane designers to know what its meant for. Until MiG29 it was mostly climb high as fast as you can. 25 was for dealing with XB70. 31 was for bombers and thier low flying cruise missiles. Vietnam used 21 as its supposed to be used - textbook GCI intercepts.

Nuke mission was fun. Small problem arose - ships in harbour dont sink. We had them nuked with 0% dmg. Then made several passes firing dozens of S25s. Some ships catch fire. But when you make return flight, smoke stops and you have no idea which ship is dead or alive cuz they dont sink. Also jammer for 21s would be nice to have. I know nobody uses it but me, but still. Also maybe implement that trigger zone for static sams we talked about few days ago. So they keep radars off till target in engagement zone. Would make SEAD harder/realistic.

Its harder to slowdown then accelerate in Fulcrum. This is first time I hear someone thinks it is underperforming.

Well, we can tune down lights in cockpit and gunsight anyway for NVG use.

Would be great if needed percentage is not 100% but lets say 95%. Kinda silly situations when one side loses cuz single unit is hidding in bushes and wouldnt change outcome of fight in rl. Its wining on tehicality. Regarding AA war and outnumbering by red. Red can only do AA. Not counting two frogies. No bombs or S24. There were s13 for j11. But nobody noticed except me taking them on single run.

Aav7s are covered by Hawks and somewhat avenger while swiming. You actualy have less chanse of hiting them while they are in water, because only top is exposed. Hawks got wiped only after they crossed. Forest is dense and unless your aligned with road you wont see them rolling. Only after they took over the airfield did they get wiped. I must say, I had so much fun flying Hind and shooting them with 30mm. Jamming kills amraam loft mode now. Not sure if it does same to phoenix. Mig21s should have used it. Messes up SA of both sides but levels the playing field.

Some info on radar ranges at 1:29:00 120km ideal, 60-80km most of time for search.

We have new variant with gsh23 in turret and still bought upk-23s. And even stranger, pods dont work together with main gun at the same time. I guess some operators like more dakka. Since P has 30mm then guv pods dont make sense either.

Did I understand correctly that initially they wanted a system like puma on Su24?

APU load is constant. I fail to see it being prone to damage while runing longer. It is intended to be used during flight if needed beside on takeoff and at landings. Fuel consumption should be 120kg/h.

Well, its like a little jet engine. Should have no problems runing the whole time. Noise is less then gunner screaming while you plumet to ground with no power.

Turn on APU generator and leave APU running after main engines have started.

Problem is DCS doesnt simulate damage to vehicle. Except mobility degradation whenever hp gets very low. And we will probably never get dmg model like warthunder or similar. They might add somekind of random chance of failure in terms of being unable to fire exposed weapons like turret machinegun or even main gun if dmg is over certain value. If proper dmg model is too resource heavy.

For AP-T round it states at 1000m and 60 deg. angle of hit, 200m/s penetration is 20mm. There is tungsten variant that is a bit better around 28mm.

Tanks should be vunerable from the top. But question is how this works in dcs. Abrams can be damaged only from the back, from the test I have done. Seems similar damage that Shilka with 23mm does.

There are videos of rl hover and launch out there.

You can call it helicopter for delivering joy and happines if you want. It is what it is. Puting it in a group or another wont change it.

I think you are waaay into fantasy scenarios. Only realistic scenario is maybe dusting poppy fields in Afghanistan.

isnt it same system as in Mi8?

Here is Mi-24s used for chemical and biological protection. Not much use in DCS for this type of dispensers.

Yes, but still ppl on RED have no clue. Message 1-2 min before would be nice.

Osetia mission - Can we get info that RED won, if it happens. BLUE get message but RED needs to w8 for mission to end and most ppl have no clue if they won. Just rotate server 5min after message or something.

Happens sometimes on red. Mostly Ka50 randos wreak havoc.
