Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 8

[microvax]

Have to say it's an unexpected change from BS team. Makes the front line fighters more relevant and everybody loves a good turn and burn:)

 

I dont have to do BVR anymore, which I am terrible at, YAY.

 

Also mirage will get magics slaved to radar.

 

What am I thinking about radar slaved magics ?

 

Something like this:

I'm all for that suggestion, no missiles for any fixed wing planes guns only :)

I could be 100% happy with no guided missiles at all if shilkas get taken out.

Would be pretty hilarious. :D Everything BUT shilkas can be engaged with guns even by heli no problem. :)

[gregzagk]

Maybe we should take away the R-73 from RED. That would actually be really funny!

 

Yeah maybe you should do this.

When will this be up?

 

PS It's funny that one year ago some of you didn't even know dynamic campaign could be possible and now you demand features as like they are there by default. Keep it up and maybe we will troll even more with the setup :D

 

Don't feed the buddyspike hyper trolls.

Apparently you've never met a Tunguska! Thank God they aren't in BF.

Forumz wouldnt let me give you reputation so here is it in form of a post +1.

 

Waiting for jester flag server. :megalol:

We could throw cotton balls at each other until either one of us starts bleeding, but where is the fun in that? I know that some people here prefer dogfighting over BVR as the true form of combat. But then you can just make it a Vietnam, Korea or WWII scenario. But then you have to take away guided missiles form the ground pounders, make air defense guns only and so on. On the other hand we won't need the NATO-USSR seperation of airframes anymore. It just takes us too far away from what BF is known for:

 

Modern, large-scale war with modern (-ized) aircraft. Just imagine flying for an hour in your Sabre/Fagot/Kurfürst/Stang etc. just to find out you are outnumbered 3:1 in that vertain area. No one able to support, no place to go. Alt+F4.

 

 

 

How about taking away all the missiles, now that would be freaking hilarious.

I met them I tested them, I attested their missile performance as utter bullshit. :DD

 

No honestly, according to manufacturer spec, the missile minimum altitude is 15m. They still engage at 5m at max range.

 

But yeah you do not want to engage a tunguska or Gepard with gun only either, wasnt completely clear, anything in blueflag apart from the shilkas is attackable with a fixed gun mount no problem.

Their dual 30mm cannons mixed with 8x 9M311 missiles would shred anything within its range. I personally hate going up against them, but I train attacking them constantly because they are the most dangerous for any CAS platform.

- Mirage 2000C moved to Red side

- Dogfight missiles only available

 

Lol ? Lol... Lol !!! No, seriously guys, stop trolling us :lol:

[Sierra99]

Obviously, you misunderstood. Which is to be expected, as I am not the worlds' greatest communicator.

 

I mean:

Hey, RandomPilot... Sit in your cockpit, and on the deck in M Vody for 30-45 minutes because you are the relief. I don't need you wasting fuel and possibly getting engaged. Don't take off until this hack or unless you are scrambled.

 

Why make someone wait? Because it's a timing issue. We need aircraft on station all the time. It works better for us. Maybe not as well as we like - but it works. But I still won't ask someone to do it outside the planned event participants that know going in the risks of thumb twiddling.

 

Understand, now? Arrogance is not intended.

 

Panhead you're a fine communicator...you use complete sentences AND punctuation. :smilewink: personally I think these are lots of people willing to do exactly as you describe to work as part of a team. (Especially since the likelihood of getting scrambled is pretty good...) And in reality this isn't really about your squadron...it's about the entire new dragon we have to tame regarding communications.

I think red is missing Su33. Then it would be balanced:music_whistling:

You already have the according to some sources SFM Mirage OP PLANE. What do you need more ? :D

Every round is a different setup... We've even done WW2 which personally was my favourite setup! Apart from the angel of death known as trouble... :)

 

If this one isn't to your taste, fly in the next one rather than complain :)

Yeah, the tunguskas are really annoying. :D

 

If you attack from a steady hover or with max speed you can outrange them, at least could with the old vikhr FM, didnt check if that is still possible with the new FM.

 

Either way they keep beeing annoying. :D

Lol ? Lol... Lol !!! No, seriously guys, stop trolling us :lol:

Plain stupid idd! Crap move

[BSS_Sniper]

Am I hearing this right, round 9 is going to be a "dog fight" scenario instead of an era like Vietnam? Tell me I'm wrong, please...

A big thank you, round 8 was my first time flying blue flag - had a great time!

Salute to the buddyspike group and pilots!

Get a buddy to draw their fire, easy meat.:D

+1 to this.

 

No AAM Blue Flag!

 

Maybe once ED fixes some of the MP code...?

 

Greg?

Check out the new feature on the map thanks to Crash....! Still Work in progress but awesome none the less.

YES THX THATS GREAT !!!

 

 

@frostie Well helicopters drawing fire from tunguskas are in maintenance worthy state after the maneuver xD.

 

But gun running them/rocketpods from plane is something I do try atm. And if the Mirage had working a2g pippers I think it would be really well possible to do so.

 

ATM its spray and pray and break away. :megalol:

[kobeshow]

Ciribob,

great feature for the web based map, it would be nice if you could enforce a certain behaivor for players since you clearly have access to all the necessary information.

Keep it up, BlueFlag seems to be evolving into somethiong that might actually force pubs to get their shit together (;

This is so awesome! Thank you guys so much for your hard work. Im really looking forward to the new round.
