Will watch after :thumbup:

The pre-game show is going now. The match starts shortly!

Hey guys, had some technical difficulties but we think we are running smooth now! hope you can tune in!

Excellent fight guys. Many grats by the Lockon Greece.

Great fight i think challangers are learning more not to rush in and get killed in a huge furball hopefully making it harder look forward to the next one

A huge thank you once again to the 104th and particularly Mav for hosting another great event... lots of fun!

See you next time!

Thanks to everyone who took part, apart from the stability problems early on it turned out to be a very good session, much much better with SARH and IR weapons :)

That was fun, I never saw Frostie and flew right into his shot. But still was fun.

Thanks to everyone who took part!

Sorry about the rough start, we got there in the end though once we found out what the problem was and dealt with it.

Working on the TacVIEW and getting the tracks published today, will post later tonight with all the details once I get the chance!

Thanks for the event!

We really enjoyed flying on the aggressor side for a change and if needed again just let us know.

Many thanks to the 104th and many thanks to all those that took part. It was fun!

much much better with SARH and IR weapons :)

SARH-only did really turn out to be a lot of fun. Being swamped with AMRAAMs is no doubt an intimidating situation, but SARH really made it much more of a white-knuckled, personal fight. AMRAAMs are more "oh, I died," or "nope, still alive," SARH is like a knife fight to the death in a completely packed Coliseum. I'll definitely be on the lookout to sign up for the next one of those! :D

Again, fantastic event. Rough starts come with the territory in this gig, but it was handled with classic 104th expertise. As a leader of a fellow squadron, I can identify with the pressure and frustration of putting something together and having it all go tits up several times before it goes right. I've got nothing but admiration for the job you guys do.

Looking forward to that Tacview and the next news of any events you guys are looking to put together! :thumbup:

Also let Manawar know I appreciated the kind words on the livestream, but of course I've gotta give credit to DCS's braindead Sparrows where credit is due. :P Should've just run for the damn border, but in the heat of the moment I had the stupid idea to try to force an overshoot.. I'll get it right in the next one!

Finished watching the replay. From spectator POV, it was very entertaining. Excellent and engaging commentary by Hook & Manawar as always. Some very good battles with memorable moments by Croncat, MicroVAX, Pyro, WD1, Stuge and the SF guys. Had me on the edge of my seat at the end when the M2000 guys made a last push against Red. As a previous blue pilot, I was crushed to see the blue Mirages get shot down one-by-one at the end. They put up a valiant fight!

I really like the SARH only format with AWACS. I hope this will be offered again for RF NTTR.

Where is my maneuver kill on IronMike. He was within 3 miles of me and killed himself chasing me when he wanted to break off. So i'll have 3 kills as well :)

But good fight guy's really enjoyed it. Thx for creating this event.

Thanks to the 104th for hosting this and thanks for everyone involved. Look forward to more tournaments.

The commentators made it really fun to watch. Great job Hook and Manawar.

Congrats !

You guys really deserve the victory ! :)

For the next time it would be really nice to have the ruleset under which condition the event is won by which side. So planning can be refined in that regard as we move along to greater heights of coordination complexity. :)

It would also be nice to at know what kind of scoring impact the destruction of the Aggressor AWACS made and will make in the future, considering its material value is like ~8-10 times larger then the target group itself and is both IRL and in DCS a pretty vital asset in air to air warfare, and judging by the defence group it was considered as such by you as well :).

And I sincerely ask to consider my AWACS kill as an airkill. If it was $random F16 AI, well who cares. But the AWACS is as said a vital asset and I do not really see how the planning I did, and independent of that in general is required, to down that thing is worth less in comparison to the work it takes to down a fighter aircraft controlled by a competent pilot.

Great match to everyone involved.

I just bumped into this thread from 104th Knight, about his YT channel. The 1st video in the 1st post is from this event.

Great seeing it from his perspective. Everything from the CAP plan in action, to the cluttered comms, and general chaos that ensues when the shit hits the fan, to the nearly useless never ending AI AWACS calls. The AI's fine for a typical SP mission, but the limitations for this type event are obvious.

Human GCI will be a big improvement.

I also appreciated the weapon limitation for this event. Keep changing it up and trying new things.

:thumbup:

The A10 with a AIM9 kill is missing....I had 3 Kills.. ..

Interresting event,

Not surprised about agressors victory, comms and coordination of skill are very important especially for FOX1 only.

Good work agressors!

Good work as well to "flight1" and the few who join my flight even if we don't know each other, we succeed to stay coordinated at least 10 min wich is a good start :)

Great event again, awesome flying from everyone.

Fantastic job again Maverick and IronMike for setting everything up.

Kudos to Microvax who tied a few red fighters up North with his 1st AWACS attempt, congrats on the 2nd sortie success.

The challengers were more cautious this time around and allowed us to control the airspace for a majority of the time, great job from the 104th and SF squadrons holding the line. There were some fantastic missile evasions on show which highlights how much more of a spectacle this set up is, hopefully we can see more merges in the future. Having one life though makes everybody extremely cautious most of the time, long range defensive shots and hard locks from different angles by the defensive side early on limited a strong press from the challengers. Great fight at the end there after the strikers went down.

I'd advise the stream organisers to please run a delay with the stream as far as I am aware it was running real time. Watching back I see comments in the chat log from pilots who were still flying. As much as a great watch the stream is if you're flying in the actual event you shouldn't be clicking on the link, delay or not, thanks all.

Great event: cheers guys!!
