OperatorJack Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Forgive me if this has already been asked but where is the Viggen going to be in terms of coalition when round 10 goes live? /да бойз/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
*Rage* Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 The Viggen is a blue aircraft through and through but for the sake of player number balance I hope its available to both sides, at least initially.

OperatorJack Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 The Viggen is a blue aircraft through and through Sweden isn't a NATO member though :thumbup: Could work it into the backstory of the scenario why there are red Viggens too, alternate reality where it took off on the export market? Sweden fell in the opening days of the war and the VVS pressed it's materiel into service? LN said there's non Viggen operator nation liveries coming so the possibilities are as wide as the mission maker's imagination! /да бойз/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cisco Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Would much rather have su-33 vs viggen tbh. Viggen is not a very capable CAS aircraft either tbh. Yeah, sure, its fast but the way you can aqire targets with a su-25t or A10C is much better. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Yeah, sure, its fast but the way you can aqire targets with a su-25t or A10C is much better. Well, yes. But at the moment Blue Flag is biased toward CAS missions. The only strategic targets are at airbases and they are very small and very well defended but the majority of the ground targets are of the low-value and/or air defences variety. I can however see that the Viggen + Mavericks can be used for taking out some of the more dangerous SAMs at bases and FARPs though. Just its speed alone will make it way more survivable in a high threat environment.

Just its speed alone will make it way more survivable in a high threat environment. Not just Blue Flag is biased towards CAS missions. The entire DCS community is somehow biased towards CAS. I guess it's only logical given the types of aircraft available so far. It's even more so in MP, becasue it lacks a planning framework, needed for strike missions.

Gets boring shooting down Su27s with the Mirage all the time. Wish I had something exciting to bomb.
levanoga Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Please understand the difference between CAS, AI and OCA.

Exception might be ship defence but thats it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Exception might be ship defence but thats it. Ship defence? More like ship attack! ;) But it's not just anti-shipping that the Viggen can do better. The other speciality of the Viggen which neither the Su-25 nor the A-10 are capable of is the fine art of air interdiction (AI) and pinpoint strikes in general.

Enduro14 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 BLueflag is strike missions, you have the coordinates to all tgts thanks to the website or app. Your not doing cas your striking tgts. So i see the viggen being very useful as along as the bk-90 are allowed.... Intel 8700k @5ghz, 32gb ram, 1080ti, Rift S
xcom Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 If anyone has an concerns about fairness play in Blue Flag, please contact via PM and not do it in the forum post. Round-10 is still on hold, the server will still be up with ongoing war until we bring round 10.

Exception might be ship defence but thats it. The Su-25T and A-10C are terribly slow compared to the Viggen, the Viggen would be much better than those 2 at OCA strikes, which seems to be the brunt of A2G operations in the scope of Blue Flag. /да бойз/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
xcom Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Update on the AI intercepts - The issue is due to a new bug introduced by one of the latest patches from ED. getting group information for dynamically spawned units is not possible in multiplayer, waiting for a fix by ED, hopefully in the near future.. if not we will look to revise.

chinpok Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Why don't you use your own forums buddyspike team? Here you have like two topics filled with unorganized stuff vs your own. I'm asking because it looks like you check these more frequently. Best would be to redirect people there in my opinion or ask for a sub-forum here if possible(and close the other one). Might sound offensive but I don't want to be :) "sorry for my english"

levanoga Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Are helo dropped EWR stations even working? Most of the time when I join as a GCI and a helo deploys an EWR, there is almost no improvement of the radar picture even if I switch slots and all the other voodoo magic required. Can an admin look into it perhaps? Thank you in advance. Edited January 30, 2017 by levanoga
chinpok Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Probably because the people are here ;) The problem is if I want the latest info about the server I have to read back 50 posts as it is a one big flow of unorganized posts.
