Silky Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I've been flying a lot of jets lately and it's just getting too repetitive of following a dot on the radar, pressing a button, and getting a kill; I miss the good dogfights with WWII birds, I remember a year ago you could find 20 people in a WWII server. This is most likely a futile attempt at resurrecting that in a server (I can't name a few, but I know they're there) that doesn't require a 40 minute flight to the AO like you had to do in DoW. Just a action packed dogfights, what if we set a date and time every week for just one day to fly in a WWII server on DCS? For an example, every Satuday at 1900, is the WWII Fly In, would anyone be interested in this? :pilotfly:
NeilWillis Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Always a good idea to include your location - time zones, and ping times are a major factor. If you're in Europe, the guys on RAF Air sometimes run dogfighting weekends. If there is sufficient interest, it may well become a regular event.
gavagai Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I sometimes host missions that match what you're looking for. I'm going to host a bit later this afternoon if you're interested. Look for "Gavagai's WW2 Dogfight" P-51D | Fw 190D-9 | Bf 109K-4 | Spitfire Mk IX | P-47D | WW2 assets pack | F-86 | Mig-15 | Mig-21 | Mirage 2000C | A-10C II | F-5E | F-16 | F/A-18 | Ka-50 | Combined Arms | FC3 | Nevada | Normandy | Straight of Hormuz | Syria
MegOhm_SD Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 U.S. EDT. I'm up for it. Evenings best for me this week. If there is a WWII Dogfight running, I will drop in Cooler Master HAF XB EVO , ASUS P8Z77-V, i7-3770K @ 4.6GHz, Noctua AC, 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro, EVGA 1080TI 11GB, 2 Samsung 840 Pro 540GB SSDs Raid 0, 1TB HDD, EVGA SuperNOVA 1300W PS, G930 Wireless SS Headset, TrackIR5/Wireless Proclip, TM Warthog, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, 75" Samsung 4K QLED, HP Reverb G2, Win 10
HornedGod Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) You can also check out the 9./jg27 fighting legends server. It's hosted in Europe and has a nice instant action sort of mission. Has good numbers on it during European evening hours and is slowly picking up during US peak hours too. Make sure to grab the mod pack as it definitely helps with visibility and visual target acquisition. Edited July 4, 2015 by HornedGod
Schnarre Aggro Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 well ... its saturday and flying on the -=9./JG27 FightingLegends=- has began already :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There are two types of fighter pilots - those who have, and those who will execute a magnificent break turn towards a bug on the canopy . . . . http://www.youtube.com/user/schnarrsonvomdach http://www.twitch.tv/schnarre https://www.facebook.com/pages/Schnarre-Schnarrson/876084505743788?fref=ts

Make sure to grab the mod pack as it definitely helps with visibility and visual target acquisition. JG27 is the best choice due to that FOV change and mostly due to sound changes, thanks to that B&Z is actually possible. The only problem is that they mostly come into the server together and fly German side, so sometimes its 4 or 6 Germans against 2 Allies... so its not realy balanced most of the time :).

But the server has very good dogfighting scenarios. Its quick and easy and that LOD mod is great. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

Fenderalac Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I am usually on the JG27 server as its really the only server that fits my desires, instantish dogfight with a decent amount of AI and players. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I./JG2 Oberleutnant Flieger

Its quick and easy and that LOD mod is great. If you play blue be sure to use TS as teamwork is one way to make up for inferior numbers. It's definitely a challenge being outnumbered almost all the time but I get a kick out of it; maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment. If nothing else I'm really really good at emergency landings now!
SeaQuark Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I also have been flying on the JG27 server lately. No problems so far with lag despite my distance to the server (I'm in the US). Sometimes the Allies are outnumbered, but sometimes it's the other way around. Don't forget to use their TS server: http://www.9jg27.com/teamspeak-on-air [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] WNG.

Silky Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Was there ever at timezone mentioned with this time? JG27 server could be fine. I have the modpack downloaded already. I live in Nevada, so it would be afternoon for North American's, evening for Europeans. I'm pretty flexible as it'd be a Saturday. Whatever the best time is for the rest of you guys..
ctguy1955 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I would very much like to fly and actually be with others and not alone against AI all the time. I know that what time it is has so much to do with what happens and its very hard to be able to get everyone together with people sleep and work schedules.

Saturday, 10th of July, 19:00 UTC, JG27 server. Sound reasonable for everyone?
