Bahger Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Unfortunately, this is why I'll only fly MP in certain circumstances, i.e. with a practised squad and/or an expert wingman. A-10s have no business tangling with SA-6s without either SEAD cover or a well-organised evasion or DEAD plan. The combination of unbalanced, unrealistic scenarios and "drop-in" players just wanting to blow stuff up regardless of the objectives creates a situation in which a simulation is being played as a game, a very unsatisfying way to approach MP IMO. If there are SA-6s you either need a plan to take them out with JDAMs or LGBs from altitude or stay out of their way entirely. Ideally they should be dealt with by a SEAD flight. You can't be dueling with them in a Hog. Sorry, I don't mean to sound snarky, this just happens to be a pet peeve of mine and it's why I'd rather work with the limitations of the AI in a balanced SP mission than get involved in a MP free-for-all when the mission, if it is well-balanced requires a much higher level of planning and cooperation than can be accomplished by a bunch of drop-ins without voice comms.
Ripcord Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Bahger, I have not yet gotten to fly this baby in MP and really the only sim I have flown at all online was Janes FA-18, and I enjoyed that. I did fly a few times with some squadron guys that tried to fly the missions cooperatively and in an organized logical manner, which was a lot of fun for me. I will at some point try to do the same with his sim. But I do like to fly just plain ol single-player, given some good content. And so a couple questions to the group, if I may: For those folks that fly MP, do they generally try to work their way through a campaign together? Are there any good campaigns for MP? How many people fly SP as opposed to MP? Do more people fly MP? I get the feeling that probably a few more people fly MP more often than they fly SP, but my guess is that those that DO fly campaigns probably do so in SP. Wondering if others agree or disagree with this view. Ripcord [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
