Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9

[Hesgad]

Is it true, Viggen has some very interesting slow A2A missile?

 

Nah it has aim9s

 

The ones you can steer wont be able to hit jet even an heli will be close to impossible to hit

[D4n]

But the ones to steer are A2A with command detonator or not?

[robmlufc]

Is there a shortage of kh58s at Blue airfields? I don't seem to be able to load them onto my SU25T.

 

Not that they ever hit anything ;)

The Rb 05 missile is an air to ground missile and if you are good at it you might hit a slow moving helo or transport aircraft.

 

As far as I know you can't detonate it manually.

Hoping for viggen on blue and then a carrier for red for that sweet su-33 action.

 

Tankers would also be sweet!

 

Yep that would be awesome. 24/7 ASM stikes on the kusnezow.

Yeah sure but give Sukhoi the ER could be a good idea :)

Any idea why testing for round 10 has been up for several weeks now?

Who knows. Maybe becouse of lots minor updates, maybe they are waiting for a major update, maybe for a somekind of "gamechanger"

Waiting on Viggen maybe?

What happened to Korea?

Hey! Just wanted to ask if anybody knows whether sling loading still causes crashes. Would love to do some sling action with my Mi-8 on the Blue Flag Server. :)

 

Greetings!

Is it me or are the AI fighters not taking off anymore?

Quality ED patching breaking scripts again. The mission maker is on vacation and can't fix it at the moment. Give it a week.

Bug: FARP MK-SA (blue team): with a Gazelle (Mistral) one is spawning into a spawned Mi-8 and other way round with the effect that both are exploding. Actually, I found myself sitting next to the rear door gunner of a Mi-8 :(

 

I guess it is because the Gazelle does spawn exactly on the heli pad but a few meters south. For this reason one sometimes cannot rearm, too.

 

Thanks for offering the Mistral version on the server.

+1. A change would be refreshing.

Not only that but if you spawn the second Mi-8 you're half off the farp and roll down a hill to crash! That one is messed up.

repair crates

 

Could someone explain the use of repair crates to me, please?

 

If I have a comm station or city can I drop such a crate and the site will be repaired? How many crates does it take?

Can I also repair airports and FOB that way? As long as we still own the place I can order crates. So why not order some and immediately deploy them right there without flying them anywhere? Or does the game distinguish between crates that were spawned there and crates that were flown in?

 

Also how long do EWRs, SAMs etc remain on the map? Does that get reset every 3 hours when the map reloads? How long does it take for a SAM, Stinger to reload once it fired all it's missiles?

 

Thanks, Asset (Huey Haulin' Inc.)

Next round will start soon, we plan to do some changes which we will update as the time comes.

There was some time off from the team on holidays etc...

We tried it a few months ago and saw issues, Ciribob probably will test it again soon.

Thanks for reporting, we will have a look!

Repair crates should not work on the same base/farp/comm you pick them from, you can use them on other base/farp/comm that your coalition owns to repair one group immediately.

 

About EWRs & SAMs, I'm guessing you are referring to those deployed dynamically with CTLD, those are removed on mission restart (every 3 hours), reason is to keep the map clean and not over crowded.

 

Reloads, basically depends the location where the Stinger or SAM is deployed, if near a FARP or a Base,it will reload from the base, if not, it will require a reload truck to be close.

[Asset]

thanks for filling my blanks.

Still a lot more questions but don't want to take over the thread. Is there a document that explains all this? I know about the Round 9 SOPs, but they are not up to date

[FS Voodoo]

Hello, is it expected to have the F-5 in the red side ?

[dooom]

i am wondering if there will be ever any hope to be able to have either GCI slots or players call for an AI refueling tanker to launch?

[Oceandar]

When can we expect AI scramble be fixed ? I could use AI supports when I'm alone in A2A mission. Thank you

[Fedduk]

Honestly I like it much more without any AI interceptors, they are just an irritation and they dont actually add nothing to the pvp gameplay. They make frontline more stable and many pilots just run away towards them instead of fighting.

Despite their limitations, AI has its own benefit I guess. When the other side empty from human player they could buying more times to prevent airbase etc captured easily unopposed untill one or two player join the server. It ever happened to me that I was the only red player in server and overwhelmed by a bunch of enemy fighters and bombers. Only with the help of AI's I could manage to hold them while waiting other red player to join.
