S Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Hello, I'm currently looking for a group to fly with and learn from. I'm relatively new to DCS, but not to flight or flight simulators. I've been flying real-world general aviation for several years, and have been flying flight simulators since 2002. I have a lot of experience with Aces High (go Bishops!), a little experience with WarThunder, and was involved in the development process for World of Warplanes. What I'm looking for: I'm specifically looking for a group that has an active semi-milsim environment. Essentially, I want to use proper engagement techniques, learn the proper radio calls, etc. I would prefer a group that flies both red and blue air in a multiplayer environment - I'm OK with some AI on either/both sides, but I specifically would like to fly against other humans to improve my knowledge of DCS and have a greater challenge. My area of interest: I'm a pure air supremacy guy. I don't like poking holes in the mud, so I would prefer a group that has people dedicated to CAP. I enjoy the systems challenge of BVR combat, and the geospatial/physics challenge of ACM. My current skill level: I'm very familiar with energy fighting (tactical egg, etc) in a WWII setting and know the basics of transferring that knowledge to jets. I'm still learning (through trial/error) the speeds for the F-16C, so this has been a bit of a challenge that I'm enjoying. I have a basic knowledge of the systems on the jet, but I want to get deeper into how they work and get to a point where operating is second nature. I struggle a little with radio navigation on the Viper, but I can handle waypoint/TACAN navigation easily. I definitely struggle with boom tankers (the F/A-18 is so easy to refuel!). Formation flight is pretty solid as long as I know what the lead is going to do - I don't really know much about formation calls, so this is an area I'm definitely looking for some education. I'm good with landings (combat descents, overhead breaks, etc) so no worries there, I'll bring the jets back safely assuming nothing goes boom in the air. I'm not very good at defeating missiles launched at that dangerous 10-15nm range, so would definitely like to learn from people who are. I know the basics of BVR - altitude, airspeed, optimal launch profile, notching/beaming, re-engage, etc but I need to fly with people that know more than the basics to continue to grow in this department. If you're part of a group that fits these specifications and would like someone willing to learn, let me know!
