Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9

The shilkas definitely attack me when I get too close in a huey and then I'm flying quite low (even landed). If they start in state green then you may be OK, state red, and they shoot first and don't ask any questions.

Hmm, you're right they do indeed attack low flying Hueys. Maybe the speed makes the difference?

Speed makes all the difference !

Shilkas attack at any altitude, the question really only is if one can beat their reaction time by terrain masking.

Also constant slight snaking usually saves one. IR-SAMs have a minimum engagement altitude as well which can be underflown.

Are the Su27 supposed to be completely out of fuel when you spawn in?

Hi Buddyspkie Team,

since the web based map is regularly checked by everyone for strategical updates, I think it would be great if you could check the fuelstate of airfields on it aswell.

Don't know how much work that would be but it would certainly be a good addition to give people more overview.

I'm very excited for the new changes, keep it up :thumbup:

Blue Flag is becoming Mirage fest. I think people like the fact you dont have to wait for fuel in the mirage like you do for F15s,Su27s and Migs. How about adding fuel to these aircraft so we can get more of a variety. Or limit M2000 slots.

There's problem with my lua.dll when playing on BF. Keeps crashing game on a most events like slot change, missile hit etc. Weird. Any suggestions how to fix this?

PS: Yeah. Mirages are spawned like mushrooms after rain. Zounds of mirages. All we need is stinky cheese and slim bread with champagne. And french maids, lot of them.

I dont think its limited to just the fuel. I think it also has to do with the 530 being the best missile, by far, in a limited scenario.

As well as that some people dislike the FC3 modules, in general. I'm a VR player and I wont touch an FC3 aircraft, unless I really really have to... or its a SU-25T (soft spot)... The reason is, simply, I can't click the cockpit with my VR cursor and therefore would have to map all functions and buy a braille keyboard...

You guys can say that, but this level of saturation of 1 aircraft is not seen on any of the other servers, Open Conflict of 104th. Myabe its because there is more VR in BF, Im not really sure. All I know is that the Mirage is bar none the most flown aircraft.

You give a plane such a large advantage, fuel and weapons, and people are going to fly it. The Mig and Flanker 27R are basically cinder blocks compared to the 530 and the Aim7. I know the Mirage can only carry 4 weapons, but in a Flanker I basically have to be on top of someone to kill them. I swear the R73 has a longer range than a 27R or 27T....

Noticed spectator mode is enabled in the current build....

What's wrong with less FC3 aircraft? I think it's a good thing. I hope that at some point in the future no one plays FC3 anymore with more and more high fidelity aircraft (especially 4th gen fighters) becomming available.

I don't play red but I'm not thrilled with how there are like zero red specific aircraft/helicopters currently in the pipe.

I like how rb trys its best to keep aircraft on respective sides. Looking at the Harrier, F-18, F-14 makes me wish there was a good red aircraft coming out.

Going to eventually have the conversation about what to do with 3 new blue aircraft coming.

The lack of red high fidelity aircraft in development is indeed a problem and not just for BlueFlag.

The F14 *should* be seen as a red aircraft and it *should* go to red only, as a Persian Cat, on this server at least. Maybe even give the F14 its AIM54 and then remove Mirage from Red. Details aside, putting an aircraft like that on one side only will motivate more people to sign up on that side. I'm all for totally asymmetric forces.

Blasphemy!

Red can have the Mirage! Maverick and Goose bleed blue! :)

Tried re-capturing Tskhinvali fuel base tonight just after it got captured from red and went blue and was at 0%...blue vehicles spawned, we blew them up, got notification that it was closed, landed standard infantry...no capture. Tried this multiple times after they respawned and still wouldn't capture after getting the notification that it had been closed.

Also, why are SA-11 on the map when we don't have anything that can effectively kill it without being well within its range?

Pls. You can gun the SA11 at the moment 0 problem, ka50 can deal with it zero problem, even gazelle actually can deal with it, the Viggen can deal with it, even the A10 can deal with it, and the su25t can deal probably the best with it.

I am happy that we have something that can't be bombed with mk82 for long range defence.

Blasphemy!

Blue flag set up is the Mirages ideal set up, facing much weaker radar missiles they're able to control the fight. On the face of it picking the Mirage is not only because of fuel and the more enjoyment you get against FC aircraft in this scenario but mainly because it is full fidelity which adds ten fold the enjoyment. It's ticking all the boxes. Fuel balance and adding datalink may sway some but in the scheme of simming, flying full fidelity trumps all.

When you close an objective, it spawns troops that you must kill before your troops can capture. Thy are VERY hard to find and it adds some enjoyment as they've been known to take out some Helos with their small arms fire.

Also, make sure you are taking standard troops. Mortars and the antitank can no longer capture objectives.

RedFor can get the F-14A and Blufor will get the F-14B.

With all the oncoming Blufor goodies though, switching the Mirage to "Redfor Only" after the F-18 and AV-8B hits would seem prudent.

I don't see a problem with moving the Mirage to Red only, along with the Viggen (as the harrier fulfills a similar role.) The sides may resemble America v. Europe, but that might be a welcomed change from Russia v. World.
