I can't do it anymore...!

Trouble I have with the FC3 fighters in "my" DCSW environment is there is far too much "rinse and repeat" fliers there. Hell I see some ripple off 4-8 AMRAAMS at once and RTB to reload.

Sometimes I do think there should be negative points given for each weapon released.

 

...that'd teach the Airquakers. :D

The 104th's A2G only server has no fighter jets on it.

 

Though their A2A "mixed" server is more fun trying to dodge the fighters by, hopefully, stealth tactics, at least in my copter.

 

If you fly the ingress pre-planned route, the enemy probably also has flown your side in the Hawg, so they know the route, too. Do not be predictable!

 

With FC3 mixed in, sorties really need a mixed bag---squad oriented, so you need to have guys flying air cover for you.

 

I've been there many times :) Good place to fly. And yes, after the 2nd time I was shot down <10miles from my takeoff location (first time I had no clue, just a missile alert then bang; 2nd time he flew past my 'chute and that's how I knew someone was stalking our base), I flew directly away from my waypoint, climbed 13K feet, then turned towards my wp1. Didn't get shot down that time. :)

Would be a nice touch to have an customizable scoring system with a little more depth.

 

Lose points for ejecting

Lose points for firing missile (varies with type) / firing guns (less point loss), but..

Get points for kill, more points for guns kill

Present hit percentage in scoreboard

 

Make it customizable

 

Make standardized screen on server so players can see which scoring options are set

 

For that matter make a server setup summary screen that also allows admins to set weap availability, which is available to players... not unlike the in-game spam message workaround used by many servers for simulating Cold-war era limitations using Slmod.

 

Would be nice to have it built-in to server (... dedicated server!).

No. What we need is someone with enough sense to do a really good F14 for once. Im tired of waiting. Either that or the apache AH-64 in detail.

Resource Management... limit number of missiles available ;)

[Home Fries]

And put uber SAM/AAA systems at each base to dissuade the spawn campers. If they knock out your point defenses, then at least they've earned the right to spawn camp.

Ah yes, awesome jet the Turkey, will deadly compressor stalls be modeled?

 

 

(Horrible jet.)

Aw, dont crush someones dreams of getting their Tom Cruise on ;)

[arteedecco]

F14D, F15E, AH-64D, Su-34

 

Would all be awesome. Still need ED to support multi-human support in one vehicle, which isn't there today, though UH-1 will have multi-seat (multi-position) capability, but only for single human.

 

It's coming, but roadmap specified is: FC3 / CA released, then DCS Fast Mover (Fighter)

Won't help with the "real" Airquakers. They'll just switch server after they've used up all their side's missiles. :P

 

But seeing themselves with a negative score on the majestic score screen... THAT might change things. :D

[arteedecco]

^^

Agreed.

 

 

Both solutions are useful here. So many other great titles have successfully implemented scoring systems that are consistent, customizable, and functional, even accounting for users switching sides, logging on / off, etc. Don't think the wheel needs reinventing, or that it is at all unreasonable to ask for a scoring system that is more robust. I'll forgo naming off the slurry of titles that have it down pat.

A combination then.... creative mission design and little to no reward for quaking :)

There's a score screen? Kill it, kill it with fire!

Agree... replace it with objective list, which objectives are completed and which aren't :)

Exactly, and for some using up their teams missiles would be the point, just to piss people off.:spam_laser:

You cant cure stupid, nor can you code it out of an Sim or game ;)

 

But I think there are tools to block stupid :)

Limit every user to 6 missiles then require a $1.99USD micro-transaction to re-arm.

 

true 2013 style.

[sslechta]

^^^ Nice.

 

How bad do you want a missile now? :megalol:

[SkateZilla]

$5.99 USD for a new plane

[sslechta]

All cockpits will now have a credit card reader in them....... :thumbup:

[SkateZilla]

PayPal button on the HOTAS.

Yeah, that would be really nice.

Not necessarily "stupid" always. People play w/in the limits of the SIM. If you make it so community can enforce standards everyone will abide and those who don't are out. Just need the tools to be able to do it effectively.

 

Best solution... SIMulate RL... why don't people go up and shoot off 8 AIM-120's in RL? << there are multitudes of reasons.

 

On the flip side in RL, you're not operating as a solo artist, you have threat briefings, you have tons of assets and AWACS... you don't need to shoot 8 AIM-120's and you're lucky to see a bandit!

 

Frankly, in RL if it were me vs. Su and I was certain that it was just he and I... he'd get the whole 9 yards!
