Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 9

Thank you, QuiGon.

I think this important information should be displayed on the OP.

AFAIK this is not a general information as it varies from update to update IIRC. Sometimes Blue Flag is making use of beta updates and sometimes not. So in my opionion this is an information that needs to be posted in the thread at the time it is relevant, rather than in the OP. Do people here even look at the OP anymore?

Maybe they dont't because the information it contains is no longer relevant? (round 9 is over since the end of 2016)

Exactly, so it wouldn't help much to post it there. I'm not checking the OP anymore either.

Mig21 has no countermeasures and external tanks. Btw i'd be so happy if we could have r3r and r13m1 in warehouses. Cheers

in what sense does it have no countermeasures and external tanks?

the mig has countermeasures (ASO-2 - pod 6), even if you put pod sps.141 (pod 3)

external tanks on pod 5 - 1 (Fuel Tank 490L)

 

I do love the L-39, but I think, that simulating Mig-21R and RF-5 recon planes with the current 21 and F-5 we have would be more realistic and more fun in the current environment.

 

What do you think?

That's an interesting suggestion - although they are high performance jets, would it make Recon a bit OP? It's seen it used so rarely (and I'm relatively new to BF) i've no real basis for comparison.

Also is there technical trickiness having weapons restrictions set up slot by slot as opposed to for everything on the warehouse? e.g. some Migs are full loadout others are recon only....

I certainly think recon airframes being able to carry full blown strike/CAP loadouts would be OP.

Hence why I thought the l39 - it's not got a RWR, easy to limit loadouts, not crazy fast or anything. I quite like the vulnerability of a recon flight in concept.....

Also 2.5.1 rocks my world, 20 min server join times down to 2 min :D

Are you sure? I specifically tested the R3R - might be worth trying again as they're all there :)

Disregard, they are all there now. Before yesterdays update I could only choose r60M and r13m. After yesterdays update also tanks and all pods disapeared from the weapons menu. As from this moment I have all weapons to choose. Tnx for the concern.

Server Updated!

 

A new feature as of today is if you set your Discord Nickname (no need for actual name!) to match your DCS name - you'll be granted access to a private text chat channel for your team automatically.

 

This should help with planning and communication of longer pushes without alerting the other side :)

 

Access will be revoked to the channels automatically at a round restart

This is actually an amazing idea to enhance flight planning / package building, here's hoping people spot it and put it to use!

Nice one Ciribob!:thumbup:

So, are we close to the real deal soon...?

In the Ka-50 you can see the exact positions of enemy ground units in the ABRIS map - automatic, no spotting or datalink needed... They are always shown there as small blue circles. Is this something that can be turned off? It would be much cooler if people had to rely on spotting, datalink, recon, comms, sensors, etc, to know where enemies are...

I have no idea if this also occurs on the A-10C.

With the canopy scratches and the mav bug, the harrier is barely usable. Its a beta, so its supposed to be that way. A beta is meant to show bugs. But does Blueflag have to use a buggy version? Why not stick to stable and use the new features when the bugs have been fixed?

Only air defence units. But yes...

This update OB 2.5.1 has borked the TGP for the A-10C.

There are some downsides to the patch but at least for me ( and the server) this new patch is a huge improvement!

So... Am I the only one who's not into this type of stuff?

Because otherwise no one can join due to memory issues and the server is unstable to the transport.dll issue.

Very very good co-ordination - Su25T with KA50 plus 2 Mi8s in support.

Red won!

Map reset!

Capture quick as everything is neutral :)
