m1tp2king Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 So I am flying the su27 in multiplayer. Any advice. Should I use ECM? How to engage enemies? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Sneak around and use your EO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconeer Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I rarely take ECM... I rather take two extra r73's, which together with EO and HMCS are one of the best features of Russian fighters Planes: Choppers: Maps: Flaming Cliffs 3 Black Shark 2 Syria A-10C Tank killer 2 Black Shark 3 Persian Gulf F/A18C Hornet AH-64 Apache Mariana's F-16C Viper F-15E Strike Eagle Mirage 2000C AJS-37 Viggen JF-17 Thunder F-14 Tomcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFire Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 ECM has its uses but they're limited and quite situational. For the vast majority of "missions" featured on MP servers an extra 2 x R-73 will be much more useful. ECM in the vast majority of situations will only serve to highlight your bearing to the entire enemy force. With regards to engaging enemies, try to stay below ~6,000m altitude and try to engage enemy aircraft in WVR fights where your high alpha ability, HMS and R-73 will give you advantages that most enemy aircraft (with the exception of the F/A-18 and forthcoming F-16C) don't have.

LithiumR Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If you are using EO in mp make sure you pop your radar on right before you fire so you can iff. Also... get in comms :D The best part about multiplayer is baiting the opponents imo ha ha. Let one guy hang back radar hot and just annoy the enemy locking them, drawing attention, and keeping the D/L updated while 2 wingmen run in EO on the deck and smash him. Whoever runs out of missiles then rotates to the back to annoy and bait the next enemy. Great fun!! Really need comms for that.

Ironhand Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I thing I always do in the Su-27 is loiter and watch the HDD while in BVR mode. Especially if there are AWACs, it’s a great way to see who is doing what where before you even head out for adventure. That’s especially true if you know the terrain where you’re flying.

SA is your greatest weapon. If you have an AWACS up or EWR then your HDD provides better SA than everything except the F/A-18 (currently). Choosing the time and place of your engagement is probably THE most important decision you can make, and will also let you vector in to enemy contacts without having to radiate yourself. In the Su-27 the HDD and SPo-15 are your best friends.

Oceandar Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Don't rely too much on DL and EOS because sometimes there's one or two sneaky Hornets can manage to get behind or flank you. Know when you have to turn on your radar and watch the RWR. I get very cautious when one DL contact dissapears, do not abandon that bandit and take a note on your mind. Mastering others is strength.

m1tp2king Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 What if I fire off all my missiles? How do I get rearmed? Land, shut down the plane, rearm then start up the plane again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yes, land at friendly airbase, shutdown engines and use comm menu > ground crew > rearm and refuel. Once done you're free to go.

Frostie Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Don't rely on dl, buddy up and own the fight and the airspace. Datalink is for assistance but start relying on it and you'll get a nasty surprise.
