Dave317 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Sounds good to me. I was thinking of going to the red side to get back into the ka50 but didn't want to miss the m2k. Now the red side is very appealing. Any chance of more AI?
QuiGon Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Wow many feature requests :D The 9th round concept along with our other moves will be finalised in the upcoming days. The guys currently work on Simple Radio & Online map setup along with other stuff in the background. For now we uploaded new mission files of Blue Flag that help us testing until we prepare things and mostly to have fun. This is not the final concept of the 9th round though and it will propably change (small changes or completely depending on our final discussions). Changelog of the current mission setup: - Mirage 2000C moved to Red side. (India joined the war :D, NATO vs RUSSIA concept remains the same except of the Mirage change.) - Replaced SA-8 groups with SA-3 SAM sites - Dogfight missiles only available - Cluster bombs (CBU-52/ MK-20/ RBK/ CBU-87) available again - LGB Guided bombs removed - Replaced the building (Barracks) in the airbases with 6x Armed houses - Changed time of day (the night mission is replaced with a dusk one for better dogfighting) - Added fuel trucks to Red FARPs - Added 2nd Mi-8 to Beslan As said before this is not close to the final concept. Let's get in for some dogfights :) *Side selection reseted. You can select your side again. Greg Sounds interesting, but what happened to Korea? I think red needs some support, don't they? :D Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

IASGATG Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Blufor get's the MiG-29 because Poland joins the war?
QuiGon Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 The SA-3 sounds interesting. I don't have much experience with it in DCS, but it seems like low and fast Wild Weasel type of attack profiles will be good fun :) Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

IASGATG Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Not yet. They are under discussions :D Please report about glitches and lag issues. Greg Dunno, seems a bit one sided that Redfor gets two jets that are known to have a crap damage model and Bluefor doesn't. It sounds a lot like I'm whining, but I'm just thinking about having to expend 2-3 of my 4 missiles at one bandit assuming all 2-3 hit. When my missile is shorter range, turns less, lacks off-boresight, etc etc etc.
Tello Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah lets have old rock in the radioheadset and smoke cigarettes/cigars without filters Actually I think I will go into hardcore mode and only fly the Mig-21 since only heaters are here I htink it can actually be fun. Is there any changes to lives-reset ? like more or less time in between ? You mean Vietnam? I also hope for such a scenario with Hips and Hueys as well :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Tello Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 And kind of unnecessary as well. This round will properly be remembered by A-10 vs Su25T dogfight round. Remove the 29's so we don't have another teamstacking round - No fun for either team Dunno, seems a bit one sided that Redfor gets two jets that are known to have a crap damage model and Bluefor doesn't.

mia389 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Wonder why the mirage move? The mirage kind of balanced out the plane damage model with the 29s. Red will be able to take multiple missiles while blue has a bird strike and loses hydraulics haha.
Yuya6104 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Oh Greg on round 9 should have random failures on and bird strikes just like experince in a real world or can just have random failures on since also bird strikes cant see there not implanted in sim unlike XPlane 10 where you can see the birds all that even see bird become a kenntucy fried bird gets cought the turbine too much blood and turbine blows out hahahaha.

Voodooflies Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Was on Blue Flag today with some of my viewers, and I noticed Mirages on the REDFOR side... Please tell me that's not what we gonna get for the round 9 ?!... :helpsmilie: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Naughty_17 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Not yet. They are under discussions :D Please report about glitches and lag issues. Greg First of all I want to thank you Greg, Xcom and every other person behind Blue Flag campaign. Greg, may I suggest a little tweaking to a live limit system: Su-27, MiG-29, M2K, F-15C, A-10C and Su-25T lives capped at 2 per 6 hours. In addition MiG-21Bis, F5-E3, Su-25, L-39/Hawk and Maybe A-10A are capped at another (separate) 4-6 lives per 6 hours. This will allow players to remain active and still it will force them to use obsolete aircrafts if/when they will run out of lives.

Or just reduce the availability of 4th gen aircraft to lets say two per airbase. Or finally launch the Korea (or maybe a Vietnam) BlueFlag. I'm desperate for some infos on that :joystick: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Naughty_17 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I like the dogfight scenario but would really love a Vietnam one even more. I really hope that someday ED or some 3rd party will release proper Vietnam map. It will be so much fun just to fly it in Huey.
Pikey Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 We had this is rounds 1 & 2 and it fizzled away beyond that into a dedicated GCI, dependant on person to person. In my opinion the pure GCI role is not well suited to Blue Flag, it needs someone to organise what's attacked and defended. Unfortunately in asking for instruction and direction it comes out as as only checking in to awacs for tasking. Helos and strike don't check in thus we lose coordination. When choppers were with us we could liaise cap with strike and troop transport, we lost that ability as good as SRS is. I'm not one for multiple coordiantors, I think GCI should return to side commander role. This! I wish there would be a dedicated commander role, who requests and directs all kind of assets to where they're needed which is different than a GCI. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
Hedhunta Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah, blue team is screwed now, half of their CAP was mirage's, so now basically all of their cap has to fly 30-45 minutes(cause whose gonna fly an F5 vs a SU27 lol)... Oh well, I'm sticking with my Mirage so will be going Red. Kinda sucks cause that's the only module I fly on Red but oh well.

Oh well, I'm sticking with my Mirage so will be going Red. Kinda sucks cause that's the only module I fly on Red but oh well. Don't forget that the su27 has to fly for the same time as well. Likely longer, because it has to watch its fuel and can't cruise over the entire map with ab unless you want to land and refuel as soon as you reach the target area. So the f5 fights mig21s just like last round. With only ir missiles I would even call that a buff to the tiger.
