Snapshots practice with AI and vanilla campaign add suggestions


Recommended Posts

So I've ditched my first WW2 P-51D in DCS, my newly acquired Spitfire, in favour of settling with this beautifully engineered beast powered by Daimler-Benz 605 yet the AI adversaries in campaign missions tend to be ridiculously easy to kill via snapshots and all sorts of funny surfaces come flying off, however, there must be a drill one can practice when it comes to perfecting this type of shooting.

 

I can swear the AI does one of three things

 

1- turn fight in horizontal,

2- climb to stall hoping I'd usually skim past into their gunsight,

3- Rolling scissor fight where you criss-cross into a roll coupled with pulls on stick and usually this is the best way to practice snaps.

 

I was hoping ED would change the adversaries to the allied planes and not German aircrafts as the parent module to signify variety and the real opposition.

 

Some inclusion of a mission to positively ID and engage select, timed, and sequenced bandits with different plane types or colors (like shoot this red Mustang, this blue Focke wulf, this green Spitfire) to help and familiarise players with both target identification and correct engagement.

 

Also, the Bf-109 campaign could use some choppers to kill like the P-51D vanilla campaign (iirc there were two missions dedicated to killing choppers), bad weather navigation with charts, climb angle (with cockpit triggers for speed and variometer versus a.t.a. and RPM, system failures missions (like the Ka-50 returning home mission, with proper checklists).

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
