Shots from Behind enemy lines mission:

I would call it realistic, and I like it too :thumbup:

Will the Kiryat mission be on tonight?

The 29 advantage is there with 2 MRM’s. Those missiles are pretty heavy and carrying only 2 with you instead of a load of 6 will have an affect on maneuverability, unless the tomcat fires 4 or 6 at ones.. but that would be just odd.

Is there no way to limit/completely remove the Hilo to air missiles and keep the Hilo to tank missiles for the gazelle?

Ok...ok here you go :) Yesterdays mission was hands down the most entertaining mission that I have ever played in DCS. Great bloody work Alpenwolf :notworthy: Can we please ditch the AWACS and go back to EWR's, hilos were easily targeted.

I’m only getting her on the next sale, she sure looks great :thumbup: Great battle tonight, the win went to the Red side.

Behind enemy lines has great potential if both sides commit. Some shots below from yesterday..

I’m pretty sure it is not intentional. It's a darn hard job to balance the sides out, especially when BVR weapons are in the mix. Not sure that I’m looking forward to the F14A and the Mig23 unless they carry the same kind of short ranges missiles as the rest.. mixing BVR weapons in with the remaining Gen 3 and 4 planes is a recipe for disagreements. I’m still saying, give those boys rockets/bombs and guns only.

Could not agree more! The new ‘one objective’ missions that gathers all forces in one area, have given the Cold War server a boost in entertainment. Fight Island and Arabian night are pretty entertaining those as well. I personally enjoy that the Hilos have a reasonable distance to fly on the Kiryat mission.. it just gives the Hilo pilots an incentive to go for another round if shot down.

I wont be able to make it tonight, so my A10 slot is open. Sorry, really tried to make it.

All hail Syria! Some shots from the first Syrain mission, what an amazing experience! Hilo heaven deluxe, now I just want my HIND :thumbup:

:lol: Helicopters are going to have a blast on this map with all the valleys, but please can we add on some of those 5 density rainclouds just to get rid of the unrealistic bright dust clouds.

Was one hell of a battle yesterday, got some shots of it. I have been watching a few replays now and I can say that the Gen4 fighters are OP with their modern short range missiles.. the dogfights are almost like shooting ducks in a barrel. Wont be long until the Gen3 flyers start complaining. I'm suggesting to leave the medium range missiles in limited amounts for now like you have done (which are easier to dodge), and taking away the short range missiles for Gen4. Gen4 can do some serious damage with guns only. Unlimited aircraft would then be a reasonable move.

Sure was fun, did my rockets even touch you?! I flew the F5 and must admit that my rocket aiming really sucked.. :joystick: You almost made it to Novo, GF!

Not sure how this played out with the carrier ops, but I really hope it all worked out well. As we all know the only Red carrier based fighter/bomber is the SU33, and it would be a great Red alternative to the F14B. It is not as agile as the F14B but has similar air to ground load out. Personally I think both these planes should have limited air to air weapons and stick to guns only since they can carry an insane amount of air to air missiles to be able to fight fairly.

Great move on the F14B, she is damn potent with guns only.. and a fantastic bomber! The MiG29 would be an excellent choice to match the F14.

Maybe we could try the high elevation Density 5 rain clouds instead, the overcast and heavy rain has an effect on Fps. Adding on a lower visibility (mist) range (lets say 5-6km’s) could compensate the effect that you would otherwise get with heavy precipitation.

Copy that, will try it when back from holidays :thumbup:

Screens from yesterdays 5 points unleashed battle

I mean 5/10 :thumbup: Just to add, I have put the clouds at 13’000 ft.

It was a hard battle :noexpression: I kept seeing dust clouds around the hilos and ground vehicles, and it looked really unrealistic. The rain takes away this bright white cloud, as you mentioned before, and I did some testing if this can be achieved with beautiful weather clouds (cumulus 5/10 of the sky with rain added). First pic below is from yesterdays mission. Second is with 5/10 clouds with no rain. Third is 5/10 clouds with rain. The precipitation does not obscure the viz or changes much to the fps, but the dust effect is minimized. Hovering Hilos will get extremely penalized with this dust effect, which is much more visible on woodland maps.
