Online scoring for DCS

[Yellonet]

So.. as everyone seems to agree that Apache is a much better attack helo than the Black Shark, and the fact that it has two operators, will we get two points when shooting one down online? :music_whistling:

Lets hope it !

i'll be banging with my thrusty ka-50:)

Only if we score 5 points per 'superior Ka-50' ;)

I wonder how things will go when the A-10 comes out ... it would be a bad deal for helis, since an A-10 can make it self untouchable (you can kill the 10 if it decides to fly at altitude or only slightly above, but realistically a hog wouldn't be doing that if it didn't have to contend with medium altitude SAMs, IIRC)

Competitive MP will have to wait until the "teams" are even I say :(

Yeah probably - although since the hog has no radar, you can hide from it, and just make sure you attack when they're not around to see the carnage. That's the ticket to survival in a heli.

And just hope the mission builder didn't have the cajones to put in an Eagle or Flanker. I don't know how the AI will be on this front, but in LOFC they would instantly know where you were, that means helo-death unless that part's improved (I'm sure it is, right? Right!?)

[GGTharos]

Actually, that would pretty much be the case if you were within 40nm of an F-15's nose ... you'd be located and shot down. On the other hand, in LO, that's not necessarily thanks to well planned search patterns :P
