"Buddy Spike" - DCS World Online Events

[Monkey21]

With both side having difficulty coordinating in previous rounds, perhaps it's not wise to make it harder by removing the F-10 stuff.

Kudos for the persistent server. it was awesome to see the sunset and head into the night ops. Very very nice.

 

The convoys are a great idea. I find it hilarious an A10 pilot complainig about moving ground targets either convoys or base defenses upon first engagement. As a SU25a pilot I say bring it on and much welcome.

 

I do have a question. The Gazelle-M can call in bomber strikes, I would guess the Gazelle-L will have the same role as the Huey except no bomber strikes. Is this right?

 

Red will not have such capability should this be reviewd?. Currently the illumination rockets are fubar night ops are challenging with no light assist.can we get the KA-50 to call in bomber runs? just saying.

Are convoys already implemented ? Or is that just an Idea ? Would love to have them as targets ! :)

 

Gazelle L is just an M with no night vision optics, a 20mm cannon and 8 unguided rockets, so no It does not have same role as the Huey, it has more the same role as the M just with a different weapon set. Its arguably the first heli which is prettyy good for heli to heli engagements. But it realy isnt a transport chopper.

It should not be able to call in bombers at night, but at day time its technically equally capable in spotting, so it should be able to do that as well.

If it doesnt have the option to do that, well, then there is literally no reason to add it, since you cant even take out shilkas with it, unless you have reaaaaly good help from terrain. Both M and L are scout helicopters with an option for different more or less low end weapon systems.

So same role in blue flag I guess. :)

 

While I know that it is an mighty tool, its easily defeated. Imho RED really has the better helicopter setup already. The MI8 is faster, more rugged then the UH1, and imho also has the better armament options. KA50 cant destroy 10 targets at once, but in the time the Gazelle has to be around the airfield to call in a second bomber, the KA50 could take all the units as well. For FARPs I would say the KA50 is better, since you give the other side more time to react and counter with the bomber. So dunno, personally I would say the KA50 is already better then the gazelle. Given the pilot is knowing what he is doing.

 

So mhh well, I would not say that needs to be reviewd, and if the KA50 was capable of calling air strikes WTF for overpowered peace of equipment would that be. :D Then give the MI8 the ability, since that thing is way closer to the gazelle capability then the ka50.

But I like the asymetric setup as it is and would leave it as it is. But pls, even if KA50 is glorious, giving it the Intel thingy would be borderline low orbit ion cannon. :D

Convoys were part of the 1st Blue Flag concept but they were removed quickly due to lag issues. Now we try again with the new MP protocol to see the results.

 

Convoys currently do not have any active role in the concept but just move around. We need to reach a number of ~50 pilots to get reliable results though.

Last request for this round:

 

Remove external view when someone die. Ghosting is a thing and that is used to help teammates

 

 

 

 

Oh and maybe rethink on bring Korea for BF because right now A-A missiles does not work at least the one I tested in red side.

+1 I've been on the receiving end of this a couple times.

How about removing the air strikes all together for Helios. Let the L39s and Hawks do that role. Helis are heavily tasked already.

 

The other night red was driving the convoys to blue airfields and attacking them. Please make the undrivable.

Maybe they should take out night then? J/k

 

Let's just give F15s and Su27s the ability to call in bombers and get rid of strikers all together.

 

Persistent server does rock :thumbup:

Okay, different question, what do you want to do with an slow helicopter that has low lift capacity and low end weapon systems.

[Nero.ger]

i would LOVE to drive around in a Tank/BMP/Shilka for a change and do stuff!

[levanoga]

We had CA enabled in the past but it was only used to hide units inside buildings to prevent airfield and FARP capture. People also drove for 2 hours just to get to the closest airfield and massacre everyone.

jep thats bad, i was talking about "free" units , not used to check capture etc

to be honest if someone drove a tank for 2 hours he kind of deserves the joy of massacaring an airfield

I just think if they do drive 2 hours to a location there needs to be AI there that is capable of engaging him. As it stands right now, all the AI on the map for the airfields and FARPS is for engaging air. If there were say some tanks, that would make it plausable.

[kobeshow]

So another thought that I have in my mind for quite some time, since SimpleRadio was announced (I love it btw.), I was worried about people splitting up even more in terms of communication/coordination.

The idea is great but there is still no policy to make people use the available communications channels, and with TS & SimpleRaido the potential of people splitting up and not communicating with each other is even greater.

Combine that with the openness of the server and the basically meaningless registration process and I see thigs becoming even more of a cluster than they are now. I feel like since I joined in round 5 it has gotten a little worse every new round coordination wise, SimpleRadio is a great step in the right direction but it would be nice if there was some kind of way to force people to use it (or just TS with proper coms structure).

[Pikey]

I'd do it by saying I was providing awacs on 334.00 for East sector and see what happened. With new things theres always uptake, but right now, with 20 people in channel all shouting about "how close that missile was" or sniffing insanely, I won't be contributing the the blob channels at all.

Why is AI locking from max. distance? Isn't it unrealistic they lock that range and while I am in Hangar??

With a 3 hour restart your not going much anywhere.

Look at what we got done with one BMP the other day :gun_smilie:

[M460]

That was actually pretty awesome. That BMP deserves a couple of medals :D

 

Seriously, that day the server ran for many hours without restart. Kind of sad it goes back to the 3h restart but, oh well.

[levanoga]

How did you get a BMP-3 to appear in the 80's? Time traveling is OP.

Same way as the Avenger.

with new patch (and anti-cheat)

 

for me as a rift user: what's the staus of model enlargment?

When did the Avenger enter service?
