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

I played Su25 fairly often in the previous iterations. I can usually close a small airfield like Echo Bay in one load of 32x FAB-100s + guns. But it takes quite a long time, and I am pretty helpless to any fighters and the occasional overlooked SAM. Considering the time it takes to close a base this way with one striker, I think one way the bomber system could be changed would be to require the intel gathering aircraft to land back at a friendly airbase to deliver the intel. This would then make it a more thoughtful decision on whether to use a bomber call or a striker. Each has its advantages in this case, and both take some amount of time. This also prevents bomber spam by one recon plane calling in 3 bombers at once over the vegas fields.

 

Can put bombers back to 2 closing an entire airfield, because it will take a little more time to call in two of them.

Same. I feel terribly uneffective in the SU25. It takes ages to clear farps or airfields.

Yes the A10C problem persists. The MWS + GAU can outmatch everything.

Allowing Mavs for A10A on blue and Viggen on red could be a viable addition.

Yeah I see where y'all are coming from on this. The 10C does have some significant advantages. It was kind of skated over but what's the general thoughts on adding Cold War birds to the mix?

As a predominant helicopter or fighter player I would like to see more in the roll of escort and protection of the attackers. So definitely making bombers a little "less" effective could be a good start too.

i think S-13 Rockets and two KH-29ML work pretty nice on the 25, flying alone wont do the trick tho. also that insane bomb load mentioned before seems to be nice.

yea would like to see more escort work too!

For some reason the Host server restarted.... so gadget and SimpleRadio were down.

Fixed now.

Server will be down for an hour or so for maintenance

Edit: The Viggens are coming...

Viggens? For what side? Also, may we see someday Sabres and fagots?

No sabres or mig 15s, we'll do a proper 1950s Korea blue flag for that :)

Map has new targets at bases and farps as well

Viggens for RED? Great, is the side i fly

Is the label mod off now?

I like the current limitations of the Su25 and A10A. It even makes the F5 valuable as a multi-role aircraft. After seeing how effective some guys were with rockets vs shilkas in the red flag rumbles, I like that this scenario rewards skill and knowledge, but is not inaccessible to those of us without those traits (we just make up for them with numbers).

I'm very sad that you decided to leave the labels from the server. Many players have had a lot of fun there, and now the df are only a surprise attack on low altitude. Maybe I am on wrong side (of the question), maybe I haven't a good eyesight, but honestly don't understand this decision.

Very happy about viggen, great adding on the server, but they have the R24J?

Maybe more triple A on the bases could help.

Yes, seeing the dot mod out was very disappointing and made me very sad. The funniest server is over...now is just another hide and seek game. And no more realistic ACMs...:cry::cry::cry::cry:

What units are used for radar coverage? When I was in a ground commander slot, no enemy units were visible on the map, even if our F-5 had them in sight and locked with their radar.

Can Hueys drop units to get some radar coverage?

label mod was one of the real good things, maybe its been removed for testing purpose. hope it comes back in.

im not sure what the gci slot is good for without any radar. the only thing he can do is help verify if someones friend or foe (if he cant see him his most likely a bandit). whats the official idea here?

While i'm all against tags the lack of EWR does not help, the choppers would be great to stablish a proper situational awareness

Going to open another thread soon for Official Start of the Round

Great! Caucusus or NTTR?

NTTR - we're still testing Caucasus

"Testing Cacasus"?! You mean your script works again and you're just testing stuff in the mission itself? Because I thought we were waiting on some update by ED regarding the integrity check to allow your script to work like before, right?

Nothing to do with scripts, it's performance issues & stutter now. Scripts are working fine in NTTR version

That I know. Was talking about the Caucasus map though. Shame... You got me hope rising up :doh:

Hate to bring up the issue of loadouts again but seems blue have been nerfed A little hard in this version, not sure if it's been discussed here (couldn't see anything as I've been away).

I see Aim-9Ms were removed, which i can understand but this leaves the hawk with no a2a were as the L-39 still does i believe, this may have been overlooked.

Also the SU-25 has the guided missiles which is an easy standoff weapon which I think it shouldn't have. With it's speed it can easily do accurate CCRP/CCIP bombing were the A-10A struggles as it's always in the fray.

Just my thoughts on the matter as i'm not 100% sure what red has access to or if their's other factors I've overlooked.

Something that I dont think has been utilised much yet is a JTAC, the laser code is hardcoded to 1688 so you can try that for guided on Blue :)

The Hawk has been over looked, didn't realise it could only load 9Ms, thats a shame. I'll have a think, possibly sabre with gar9 as replacement

Thanks for the feedback :)

Will there be the Caucasus scenario again?

Missing the Caucasus server everyday :-(
