I noticed a bug on the lives count: if I land on a closed airfield, then the airfield gets captured by my team, and I takeoff, it takes away a life when I takeoff again!

 

Not a bug, more of a feature....

 

Jokes aside. This is simply how coding work. It is actually not a bug. And why would you land at a closed airfield anyway. Would you in real life land at an abandoned airfield that friendly forces had not occupied yet?

[levanoga]

Remember guys, its simple radio friday today!

 

How did it go?

[ralfidude]

How did it go?

 

For Blue side it went splendidly! Tried doing the GCI thing for the first time and it worked out relatively well.

[Cisco]

Yeah, red side... not so much...

[Leutnant_Artur]

Yeah, red side... not so much...

 

Nothing new in that topic.

[D4n]

At least we were a good amount in TS (better than many other days in team red TS...)

 

Wait, RED WON AGAIN? xD Ok I am thinking of switching to blue for 1 round, but then I'd need somebody to help my fly the Mirage... :P (which Gazelles can call in a bomber btw, and how to do it?)

You really dont

[D4n]

You really dont

? I don't know which YouTube tutorial is "compatible" with current version of Mirage in DCS (much got changed in the past patches)...

[Oceandar]

You only need one hour max to grasp M2K system and avionics. Its really easy and straightforward IMHO.

 

I'm gonna switch to blue next round. I really missed my Gazelle and The Hog...

[D4n]

Me too, that's why ask the managers to place Gazelle in both teams...

[Cisco]

33 vs 15.

 

This is ridiculous. We have the worst missiles, worst radar and teams are stacked and there is noone on SRS. Please do something to balance the teams, this is just plain not fun.

And blue still cant capture anything.

Also I cant understand why MiG-29 can get R-27ET and ER since it can carry only 2 long-range missiles anyway.

This is ridiculous. We have the worst missiles.

You have SU-33's with ET and ER missiles (while blue is stuck with aim-7), and unlimited lives, spawning from Carriers that respawn every 3 hours, even if we destroy them. Making it impossible for blue to get north of Sochi.

And you have had a 4:1 radio for the first half of everyday (when blue is either at work or sleeping), for the last 2 weeks. (leading to capturing stuff in the morning and blue capturing back in the evening.

And still your playing the "its so unfaaaair" card.

 

poor poor reds. :doh:

Was 37 vs 8, now 26 vs 5. It's just ridiculous. I've joined the server to setup some air defenses. It's a fun for few times, after that it just turns into a hopeless full time work. Especially that air defenses are not saved after server restart. Gave up and disconnected, enjoy easy wins without any opposition blue.

Same was on Friday (or Saturday morning), just watch the video from Ralfidude . Looks like a great coordination from blue – in reality red didn’t had numbers to even stand a chance against the horde going to Maykop. Before server restarted Krasnodar-P also went down. Few reds in the area were constantly being shoot down after taking-off from Krasnodar-C, including transports trying to desperately setup air defenses.

As it looks like that any balancing system isn't going to happen could it be at least possible to have the air defenses saved? This would give more chances to outnumbered team and bring more reason for setting them up to heli pilots. There will be no AA stacking problems as the limits are already in place. Just make it that AA unit is destroyed after some time after running out of ammo. Lets say MANPAD after 10 min and KUB after 30 – just in case someone is flying repair create to it.

What a great statement from someone who has only ever played the testing round, and if I'm not mistaken I don't think you've ever played on Redfor.

 

Cisco is predominately a Bluefor player from what I remember. In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever seen him play on Redfor until the past couple resets in this testing round. It appears he's getting a first-hand experience in the unbalance.

 

The only thing I can say is If you really believe Redfor has any type of advantage then you're out of your mind.

 

P.S. Bluefor has a way to completely restore their lives which has never been addressed. It's way better than being stuck in a 33.

Totally false. There are very few that even fly the Su-33 and even if they do its the longest flight to Sochi. Even if it was the case that everyone was flying a Su-33 it wont really matter. The AIM-7s are just a tiny bit worse than the ER and right now there is a swarm of you over Sochi. Blue has no right to complain.

[BSS_Sniper]

Im flying RED with ka50 and using SRS all the time but even when I do radio check I have no response.

 

I like using SRS it gives some immersion, this server supports it and I will not go on teamspeak. Next campaign I fly blue side.

 

 

 

It's well known that we've always gone to TS, THEN use srs. You are getting in srs and basically blind as to who is on comms. Get on TS, find out who is using what frequency, then use SRS. We've always done this, since SRS has come out and we don't have problems communicating.

You can see who is on comms on the web gadget. It even lists the frequency for each player.

[OnlyforDCS]

Ok, picked Blue for this last testing round. Last two rounds I played Red. Went Blue so I can get a better grip on SRS and learn some comm brevity. I don't really care about winning and losing rounds, just having fun. In many ways being outnumbered is more fun. Last night had one sortie, didn't see a single bandit.

 

Managed to get comms to work, at least I can hear the chatter. Still having trouble transmitting. Bound the PTT key (in the SRS Client software) to one of my HOTAS keys, but not sure if it was working. Do I have to bind anything else in the DCS settings in addition to the SRS client software? (Flying the M2000C mainly)

 

Gonna change my ingame name to Only12 or something for easier comms.

Yes, I know, but you aren't going to do much coordinating if people are on 5 different frequencies. We've always used TS to coordinate, then flights split off on their individual frequencies while monitoring the GCI freq. SRS is a great thing and I like that we utilize it, but you can't use it alone, at least while you're planning and getting a mission together.

It would help if you tell us what aircraft you're using. Each one has different things you need to do to transmit with a specific radio, in the cockpit. If you're talking about the FC aircraft, you need to click the colored circle to the right of the frequency window in the popup srs window. The green one is the one you're currently transmitting on.
