Ciribob Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Official Blue Flag Round 1 on Persian Gulf We're ready to launch the official Blue Flag round this Friday, October 19th at 18:00 UTC. The round will last until Sunday, November 4th - or until the map is fully conquered - which ever comes first. The winner is the team holding the most objectives at the end of the time period. Questions? Ask in #blueflag on Discord All server state is saved, even through crashes, as well as unpacked units providing a dynamic online battle. Any OPEN BETA updates during the round period will be applied to the server as soon as possible - unless a module is disabled or broken TacView will be disabled on the server To start your planning early - join the server and type either "red" or "blue" to set your selection for Friday. This will give you access to your teams HQ on Discord for Planning. There will be NO side switches - once you've picked - it's final until the end of the round so think carefully before typing!

Oceandar Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 How about creating some kind of score for helo (transport) pilots for succesfully deploy troops capturing farp/airbase or setting up a SAM/EWR site. How do you acknowledge their efforts without a score ? I'm aware we can vote for MVP in the end, but without score I'm afraid its gonna be very subjective. Mastering others is strength.

delevero Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 you guys have been busy :thumbup: But remember that a kill is NOT the only way to have a successfull mission. - Remember that if you stop the enemy from reaching his target, then that is also a mission success, no matter if he die or turn arround and fly home again. :)
Nero.ger Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 yea kills mean nothing. Helo pilots carrying the goods is what matters. 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.
D4n Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 After all, Buddyspike will decide whether some excellent fighter pilot or some excellent transport pilot is the MVP :thumbup: DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

Dino Might Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 GCI and Logistics (troops, repair, etc.) matter the most in BF. Everyone else is a cog in the machinery (as it should be). Unfortunately, the stats shown here don't show enough of who is really driving the fight - the GCIs and the logistics pilots.
Oceandar Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 I think the Blue shouldn't have 2 Kuznetsov's and it should be placed little bit far from Red coast. I noticed it launched multiple missiles on Oliver Hazard around Dubai which makes it MVP on its own lol. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze
Dino Might Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Calling all Reds - get online. You ALL have tf-51s. Run repairs around the quadpack! Save the UAE!
D4n Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Well THAT was a quick round. xD Even though red has more than 100 registrations more, interesting. Will the map just be reset and event continue? I was gonna join the event (red) in 2 days...

Alpenwolf Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 You need all types of aircraft to accomplish a mission. It's just that helicopters are the ones to seal it, so they're the last thing to remember seconds before sounding the victory, and as such considered by many most vital here in DCS. Think of it as a football game. The goalkeeper is your SAM battery, while the defenders are the IR SAM's and AAA's. Midfielders are your fighters, while the wing-backs are the attackers. The helicopters are the ones to finish the job and therefore your centre forward. They score the goals! So they are considered most valuable, although the wing-backs (the strikers) carry the ball all the way forward (providing SEAD and CAS) for the centre forward (the helicopters) to score a goal (delivering cargo). The midfielders make sure the enemy doesn't counterattack and dominate the middle field (air superiority). So saying the centre forward is the one who decides the outcome of a match, and therefore most important is a bit unfair to the other players. Helicopters (centre forwards) are important no doubt, but so are the other types of aircraft. Now, that's some horseshit up there, I know. I just felt like writing nonetheless. Don't mind me :smilewink: HACA DYCA Discord Cold War 1947 - 1991 You can help me with keeping up the server via PayPal donations: hokumyounis@yahoo.com
Dino Might Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 It was quick, but action packed. Much fun, and great attendance. The amount of chat in discord over the last 3 days underlines the incredible interest and passion that the Blue Flag matches bring to DCS through the players. I daresay that Blue Flag is a staple of DCS multiplayer. It certainly brought me into this sim in full force and has kept me interested to the exclusion of all other games.
Cik Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 it was a nice competition. i think i prefer PG to georgia. it's certainly easier to see targets. the big change besides that was AMRAAM availability, which was interesting and i'm not sure how to feel about. i personally prefer SARH-only but B-77 wasn't too bad i think, though personally i felt that red (actually blue) was handicapped by the addition of the hornet as it's radar and SA-maintenance are pretty poor, and it's low top speed in combat configs means it will lose jousts it gets into if it doesn't have numerical superiority. but yeah, fun round. please don't take 6mon before you run one again, blue flag is THE reason to play DCS imo.
