F-16C Red Flag 21-1 Campaign


Recommended Posts

Hi, and thank you for this campaign!

 

Only 3 missions in and I'm really loving it! This is what made me purchased the F-16C (finally!)

It's a great training tool, it's very suitable for beginners too and has great replayability.

Even if I played/flew Falcon 4.0/BMS for so many years, I'm surprised it's coming back to me fairly easily already (too bad some features are not yet impelemented, like Bullseye).

 

Some people seem to like the idea of completing campaigns as fast as possible. I am not that kind of player. I like to plan ahead, read guides, watch some tutorials..

Even if the missions are not time sensitive, I strongly suggest pushing at designed times, for realism and immersion. Let the other flights do their jobs. Listen to in flight reports. Even do air refueling if you can, it is really rewarding.


Thanks !

P.S. I, too, would like to see a F/A-18C version of RF campaign one day - instant purchase !

What do you think it's the thing you like the most about it? 

Is it similar to a10 red flag?

I don't own it. So can't tell.

I like it for the variety in the missions. The A-10RF was just go blow stuff up, because BRRRTT. The Viper RF has you doing SEAD, Strike, CAP, etc. Never a boring mission, and I'm only to mission 8.

Ironically, Red Flag campaigns are the most realistic experience of air war you can get in DCS, currently. The Nevada map is the most fully-developed (besides the Caucasus) and you can deploy literally every type of contemporary unit into the scenarios. Plus there's plenty of literature on how Red Flag functioned in the real world.
