"Buddy Spike" - DCS World Online Events

[M460]

What do you plan to carry them with? At 27,000Lbs Strellas are about 18,000lbs heavier than the MAX takeoff weight of a Huey...

 

How about we carry things that are realistic like MANPAD teams.

 

Considering we currently deploy and arm full KUB SA-6 (3 launchers 1 Radar) in two separately packed carry units. You can take the total weight of that system and divide it by total amount of (?????) y give about it.

 

Under your realism logic we would not be able to deploy even EWR to the field.

 

Remenber chopper roles are here to fill the transport and logistics aspect in warfare, and since we do not have AN-124 or Globemaster to transport heavy logistics. We are trapped on long range flights at 140knots. back and forth. which sadly leads me to this reclusive understanding.

 

 

Do you even chopper bra_?

I think it would be nice if we're going to go full on with the weapons, to at least give RED all their SAM options

This, would be nice, but i somehow doubt it will happen.

I have just tried to do some testing with the Hawk but it looks like all the Hawk slots are for Squadrons only.

 

Would it be possible to release some Hawk Squadron slots, at least for testing, please?

Hello, it shouldn't be like that.

Will check. Maybe you didn't type BLUE when you entered the server? If not you will have to do it in order to get "register" in one of the two sides.

[dannyq8]

Cheers Greg. Typed Blue and could get in other airframes I checked, just not the Hawk.

[Shively]

Hey, I don't know if this is currently a bug or a feature, but the Mirage 2000 doesn't seem to be having to undergo the same fuel-up process as the Su-27/F-15C.

 

Could very well be that this is intended, and I certainly don't mind, being a Mirage/MiG-21 pilot myself, but just want to make sure I'm not getting any unfair advantages.

 

To everyone discussing ammunition for the next "round" -

We are working on creating different variants of Blue Flag dynamic campaign, each variant will have different setups, you will probably find yourself relating to a specific setup.

So hang in there, if this round is less your cup of tea, the next one probably will be!

 

 

Is this going to be in addition to Case Blue/Korean Blue Flag variants, meaning there should be 4 versions of the event moving forward if modern and 80's-style BFs are included? Sounds neat.

Have you even flown a chopper in Blue Flag?

 

Actually Yes. I spent MOST of Round 5 flying a Huey...

 

Do you honestly think they can transport the amount of fuel required to even load a single plane let alone an entire fleet of planes?

 

Nope.

 

What about the KUB system they currently deploy? How about the EWR?

 

Again...Nope

 

I'm all for realism, but removing those duties from the chopper pilots without replacing them with AI controlled deployment teams will cripple your Blue Flag experience.

 

I never said we should remove the duties, It's the flow of supplies that's wonky.

[Sierra99]

Under your realism logic we would not be able to deploy even EWR to the field.

 

And now you're all caught up. Yes I understand the "WHY" of chopper airlift and what it represents...But there are other ways this could be simulated.

[Darkwolf]

Chopper thing need to be tweaked.

 

I will likely fly the event between Mig and Mi-8, but i will just NOT do anymore of those fuel trips. It was fine when i was not working, but after a full day of work and with only 1 or 2 hour of flight time every few day, i will just enjoy CSAR or capture.

 

Not to mention that it is only a one sided thing :

 

Red airfields are all scattered thru the map, while all blue airfields are packed together, so it's always 40min of flight for us, 5-10min for Blue.

[Tibet]

(no Air to Air weapons limitations)

 

 

That is disappointing to say the least...

[OldE24]

what about combined arms units? more deliverable units?

[*Rage*]

I love the updated real time map:) Some interesting and helpful additions.

[Nero.ger]

on the Combined Arms stuff:

Some of the mobile Units (SAMs) are controlable, which filled my heart with joy....only to be terrified as i saw that the entire units from the GH22 FARP followed. i guess that was not intended.:megalol:

But it would be awesome if you keep some units on wheels/tracks in so we can assault stuff on the ground or drive around in Strelas....and for ones justify the CA-purchace

 

blue Side

edit: found so far:

GH22 1 vulcan 1 avenger

LN 71 1 Chaparral 1 vulcan

mm05 1 chaparral 1 vulcan

Thanks! :joystick:

More units might be added to CTLD.

We would like very much to add capabilities to CA units, we have before.

The main problem remains that moving ground units cause lag AFAIK.

This is why we are running tests now, we would like to observe how the server/network handles and with any workaround we might think of, optimize so everyone can have smooth game play (as much as possible).

[kobeshow]

Maybe someone brought it up already and I missed it, is model enlargement going to stay at this setting?

No it will be back to normal. It's left from Case Blue :music_whistling:

[BodyOrgan]

If I understand correctly you want something like placing a FARP next to an oil derrick, thus a chopper must be there to attain fuel to tote around?

[Tello]

"New" wep gadget design looks awesome. And Also a question from the back ? The link to TS both places I can find it will not connect to the specified address..

 

I promise to shut up about PL and only talk about Blue Flag if you let me back in :D

 

Looking forward to see you all there

Best Regards Tello

Yeah this is a real bummer, I am hoping the "improved multiplayer with dedicated server support" in the 2016 roadmap addresses this. A combination of the present system, a moving ground supply system and a supply system that Sierra proposed would be really cool, pushing each side into more interdiction and adding more complexity to the campaign, though the present system is really good with the limits placed on DCS by its netcode, if you don't coordinate you have a hard time taking targets.

 

On a side note, but talking about Lag, is there a way to test if a specific module causes Lag? The reason I asked was that yesterday I was flying around Sochi and there were 2 Hueys flying around and both were rubber-banding all over the place. Nobody on the server has a ping higher than 245 (and there was only 12 or so players) and neither of the Huey players were over 150.

"We need people to fly helicopters...It's a shitty mission but someone has to do it". Uh...No. You're turning this into work...Thanks but I already have a full time job.

So you flew most of round 5 in a chopper because you were told to. LOL.

 

I understand where your frustration comes from. flying from tiblisi to vaziani has to be really tough.

 

 

Good luck on round 6!

Edited April 26, 2016 by M460

[Sierra99]

Here's another possible solution...

 

There is already a script that prevents refueling at bases after specific targets are destroyed. (The bunkers?). Move those targets away from the bases.

 

There are fuel storage tanks, railyards, docks etc. scattered across the map. Place the "Bunkers" ( or whatever type of target is appropriate) at those locations creating strategic targets.

 

I want to find Strategic Targets...I need recon flights.

I want to limit a bases fuel supply, I can destroy the appropriate refinery OR appropriate railyard.

I want to limit ia bases weapons supply, I can destroy its railyard OR warehouses.

I want to repair my facilities and reestablish my supply chain...I need helos.

 

This moves the focus of missions away from just attacking and protecting the airbases.

You need to go back and read that again. Either that or have someone who CAN read explain it to you.

I find it ludacris but that just my opinion. You reputation must certainly prove me wrong.

 

I wont tell you how to solve the "fuel empty base where you can spawn" problem the solution is way to advanced and complex...

 

But i can tell you that between tiblisi and vaziani you could spawn the entire server blue. and refuels dont take more than 10min.

 

Fuel is taken out from bases on at spawn. not at refuel. Pro tip*.
