Darkreaver1980 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 As you know the new DCS A-10 will allow to fly against player controlled KA-50...how will this work? i mean, i could easily kill 10 KA-50 at once in an A-10...alone the vulcan canon would ripp any heli in like 0,2 seconds apart. Its also way better armored...faster...and better armed?!
CE_Mikemonster Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Escort fighers and SAM envelopes, as a guess? I'm preeeeeeety sure a 1v1 multiplayer match between an A-10 and a KA-50 wouldn't be worth it lol Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
Boberro Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 A-10 has AiM-9, Ka-50 only Vikhrs which are weak against "fast" planes in this case A-10. Maybe if u close undetected in front of (and similar altitude) A-10 and fire Vikhr, probably u get hit. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

Sharkster64 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I guess they will just have to come out with Player controlled SU-27 to defend KA-50s. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Call Sign: Warhammer
Boberro Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 This is one of the reasons why addons should be out in couples. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

GreenGriffon Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 ...and any A-10 player who loses a multiplayer engagement to a KA-50 automatically gets his name put up on a "DCS Wall of Shame" for all to ridicule :)
Kurtz Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 ...and any A-10 player who loses a multiplayer engagement to a KA-50 automatically gets his name put up on a "DCS Wall of Shame" for all to ridicule :) ROFL :megalol: I guess at the end of the day its up to the miz makers to keep it real and limit the number of availlable A10 flights availlable, otherwise things will go downhill like in Red Orchestra where nearly every foot soldier is carrying panzerfaust and being in a T34 is an unsafe place. Im guessing that seeing 10 vs 10 heli combat like in some of the servers today is about as unlikly at seeing 20 A10's over the battle in the real world. If I start joining servers and see 6 A10's circling a small area over a tank column i'll promptly exit the server and host a more realistic battle.
GGTharos Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 You're more likely to see 20 A-10's over any given battlefield than you are to see 4 Ka-50's ;) That would be 'keeping it real' ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
159th_Viper Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 ........and host a more realistic battle. And one could argue for years regarding that point within the ambit of a Simulation such as the DCS and still not reach consensus........;) Personally what matters to me is that the instrument (ie the Kamov/A-10C/Apache etc etc ) is as real as it gets (within reason/simulation parameters). What I then choose to do with said instrument cannot be realistically dictated by having regard to present/past conflicts or even future 'scenarios'. Cannot begin to attempt to compare the Simulation with the Real World - Do do so is to court discontent! IMHO of course....:) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Kurtz Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 And one could argue for years regarding that point within the ambit of a Simulation such as the DCS and still not reach consensus........;) Do not take offense as I have watched Rob Roy several times and do not wish to challenge your honour ;) I just prefer playing DCS:BS in coop missions at present. My favourite multiplay mission at present is one where up to 4x KA50 support an armoured column through 3x hostile points. The mission takes 2-3hrs and the pace is controlled by the column. Supporting the column being the primary objective forcing the KA50's to continually regroup. Head to head missions are problematic at present because we dont have a blue force heli, so when I spot a KA50 over the battlefield, is it hostile?, does the guy onboard know how to use the Data Link ID?, he has no live comms, why is he tracking me? Is he hostile? Is he the enemy? Its all up to the miz makers to make the A10 work, without creating a huge imbalance in the ground war, or turning DCS into an IL2 dogfight :huh:
