Fulcrumkiller31 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Hello all! New to the forums but not to DCS. Been playing A-10C since it came out(love it). Just picked up Blackshark on sale the other day and I have a few questions. First I have gone over all the the necessary procedures and for the life of me cannot get the VHF-2 radio to work. When I attempt to contact the tower ( correct freq ) the options are black. In A-10C that would mean they are A out of range B terrain masked or C something with the radio isn't working. My other question involves Russian ground forces such as the T-72U and T80. I cannot outmaneuver their 9m119 missiles even while at top speed. I have a hard time believing in a real live scenario they would be able to track me with such ease. I engage at max range with the VIks then move in with cannons and do gun runs but I never cross over the target. Is there something I am doing wrong? Lastly I cannot hear betty. I have checked the test button and a message comes up saying it works but I never hear her, nor any of the warnings. Thanks in advance! any help would be greatly appreciated:pilotfly: !!

flanker0ne Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Seem you forgot the Master Audio Switch next to the radio's switches. SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool
Luigi Gorgonzola Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Seem you forgot the Master Audio Switch next to the radio's switches. Wich is labelled "INT.COM". It's the leftmost switch in the row of radio switches. I always turn on all radio switches once there's enough power available (i.e. either by ground power or the generators). To check the audio system in general, there is a pushbutton on the upper part of the left front panel (next to the G-Meter, above the Zebra Light). Push this to check your warning lights and the audio system.
Fulcrumkiller31 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks guys ill look into that! Any word on why bettys messages would be displayed but not spoken?

Topo Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Maybe they are active in russian cockpit only?
Fulcrumkiller31 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 just tested it, the intercom switch fixed both the radio and the betty issue!

Suchacz Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) What about that T-80(72) missile? Has anybody some experience? I'm curious too.

Griffin Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah the Svir missile is pretty damn deadly. Nailed me flying perpendicular at full speed from around 4 km. I might have to check that though. It's effectiveness is propably quite exaggerated or Russians have rendered SHORAD useless. :D
Suchacz Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 The worst thing is that its guidance is similar to our Vikhr, Svir and Refleks are also beam-riders. So they have absolutely no interest in our countermeasures :( In my opinion, our only chance is get lost in terrain... :music_whistling: Per aspera ad astra!

Irregular programming Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I can't find the 9m119 missile anywhere in game, not in the encyclopedia or in the mission creator. Say I want to test this out, what unit do I place in the mission editor for it to shoot these kind of missiles at me.
Griffin Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Fly the "Patrol" single mission. You will get a convoy including T-72(?) tanks.
Fulcrumkiller31 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Fly close to some T80u or even some t72s i think will have them... Flying the ka50 is almost suicidal at the ranges you need to get to. You also have to sit still to designate them unless you fly right at them which is just as bad. The fact that it has almost no off-bore look-shoot capability sucks. the hms they use in the KA50 I only see being used to get the gun onto targets faster close in (albeit soft undefended ones). I dont know if its just me or if have spent too much time in a hog pit but I cant seem to make a capable combat aircraft out of it. I would be interested to see if anybody has any good tactics to use against REAL armored columns which are defended. Not just a bunch of trucks. I really really want to like this aircraft. It has most of the ingredients just not the recipe. :helpsmilie: Computer: I7 12700K OC 5.0 All Cores, EVGA 3070TI FTW 3, MSI Tomahawk Z690 DDR4 WIFI, 64 GB Corsair DDR4 3600 MHz, M.2 NVME 3TB Gear: Virpil T-50CM2 Mongoose Stick, CM3 Base, CM3 Throttle, Logitech Pedals, HP Reverb G2 Modules: F-15E, F-18C, F-16C, F-14, A-10C II, AV-8B, M-2000C, Mirage F1, F-5, AH-64D, MI-24, KA-50, Nevada TTR, Syria, Persian Gulf, Falklands, Sinai, Afghanistan
Suchacz Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I can't find the 9m119 missile anywhere in game, not in the encyclopedia or in the mission creator. Try campaign Medvedev II, mission n.9 "On The Road Again" (BS2_C9.miz). "Our" Mi-28 will be atacking WP4:TGT2 and Georgian T-72 will be defending their posts with missiles mentioned above...

Boberro Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 WTF, those Svirl missiles are so deadly and accurate! Is it real or just too good to compensate other factors? 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
Griffin Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Yeah they're insane. Keep your range! Can't believe it's real as it's much more deadly than dedicated short range SAM's. They have one weakness though: laser warning! Something we lack with other AA threats.
KosPilot Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Aye, the 9M119 has certainly given the T72 a new set of teeth... In an area with BMP's I would normally just initiate a sideslip while scanning for the laser threat. This techniqe does not work that well against the 9M119. I will have to try out a few things. If there is no cover to duck behind, maybe it is possible to outclimb it if you're in the edge of its range and the timing is right? (Old fighterpilot trick.)
KosPilot Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 The 9M119 is truly a #$%%@#$!@%^!!! pain in the arse, BUT you can out-climb it if timing it right, I just did. You just have to spot the little bugger first :mad: -And they are FAST, 4000 metres in 11.7 sec.
Suchacz Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) IMHO, climbing is not a good idea. Maybe you get lost to one missile, but you will be an easy target for all other enemy's metal scrap... I think better way to evade it would be to stick to the ground and look for some obstackle to hide behind. Eleven secs is a lot of time :music_whistling: Edit: The good think is that it has no proximity fuze, only impact one. In attached track you can see the MBT T72 firing these rockets.

Xxx Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Hi, I just posted this question over in the A10 section. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=83599 The T80's are now an awesome weapon and with the Svir Lazer Beam rider, they are a threat like any other SAM. (IMHO) So if you have no SEAD available, break their beam, go low, creap into your WEZ and let em have a Vikhr. Trouble is, is his reaction time faster than yours and is the Svir as fast as a Vikhr?:D Great stuff eh:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]i7 Haswell @ 4.6Ghz, Z97p, GTX1080, 32GB DDR3, x3SSD, Win7/64, professional. 32" BenQ, TIR 5, Saitek x55 HOTAS.

Just hope there isn't a Stinger waiting for you in the building. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

I can fly the werewolf great, but I can't make a serviceable aircraft out of the A10! I know all the systems, I have a HOTAS, I know the procedures but I just need practice. As for KA-50 tactics, remember any attack helicopter is a SNIPER first and foremost. It is made to outrange and hide during engagements. If you're inside your enemy's engagement zone, then have cover. Pop up, shoot, (yeah it does suck the vikhrs arnt FAF) and get back behind cover. Hope that helps!

In principal I agree, but if caught out without cover, an abrupt climb just seconds prior to impact is the maneuver most likely to save you arse :joystick:
Suchacz Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Of course, it depends on situation:smilewink: Per aspera ad astra! Crucial reading about DCS: Black Shark - Black Shark and Coaxial Rotor Aerodynamics, Black Shark and the Trimmer, Black Shark – Autopilot: Part 1, Black Shark – Autopilot: Part 2
seikdel Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 FWIW: Been flying BS for almost 2 years now (wow!) and almost halfway proficient at combat employment. I just got BS2 yesterday and I tried out the patrol mission. Found the convoy, got about 5km behind them hoping to pick them off. My LWR went off and I thought, "Huh, that's a pretty far shot for a T-72's main gun..." I dropped behind a mountain a couple times, but then stuck around long enough to get off a couple of Vikhrs. BLAM! I took a minute on my slow glide down to earth with my parachute to contemplate this new turn of events. Lesson learned, I guess.
