>>123787843
I saw the inventory of the german units at kursk. I can't be bothered to find them, but since you're claiming there were whole units of tigers, i'd like to see your reason for thinking that.
There were 2 groups of panthers though, around 100 in each.

>>123788768
"Heavy Tank Battalions" existed. I'm not going to claim there were Tiger divisions or even brigades, there clearly weren't. But these heavy tank battalions could and did have up to, or more than 30 Tigers at a time, and that Webm probably depicts one.
The Initial attack in fact was spearheaded by 45 Tigers belonging to 505th Heavy Tank Battalion.
-Clark, Lloyd (2012). Kursk: The Greatest Battle: Eastern Front 1943.
>>123786478
What do I replace them by?
>>123789501
A Battalion in WW2 is a platoon in WW3.
>>123788768
Surprising, because the Grossdeutschland alone had a heavy tank battalion permanently assigned to it, and I know two other heavy tank battalions were present for Citadel. Max strength for one of those battalions is 45 Tigers, and per wiki the 503rd had 42 of 45 combat ready 4 days before the battle.

Jagers are weak infantry alone, they derive their power from spammability. At 10+5pts per squad they can cost efficiently destroy spets, at 10+10 they don't. Strong shock or SF like RIMA, Legion, or FSJ should be taken in more expensive wheeled transports because you don't buy as many of them.

LNS listed a whole bunch of tech that is going to be featured in an upcoming module and the JA 37 seems to fit all of them.
Viggen was designed for hit and run slashing attacks, it bleeds speed like a motherfucker in a turn. iirc since Sweden knew they'd be fucked trying to fight off the VVS in furballs it was better just to use hit and run + datalinked flights with decent BVR to slap out as many as possible then leg it back to base. Main advantage on its side is Technology™, and lots of it.if it is the Viggen they better give it the Swedish AIM-4

>>123801346
I don't know where you got that. LNS has been F-14 levels of hinting at the Viggen. That's a given at this point.
The only question is what the other plane is, and considering they were modeling a low quality version of A6M gear (presumably for an AI plane) and had the picture of a cockpit of a Corsair a while ago in an F-14 teaser image, their other plane is possibly a Corsair, although that one is less certain.
>>123798882
Harrier and tornado also fit their tech lists, although cobra did have an avatar for a while of one of the viggens missles.
Honestly not looking forward to an ugly, obscure swedish plane that nobody cares about.

Lists the German OOB, compiled from sources at the end of the pdf. 503rd, 505th, and 507th Heavy Panzer Battalions served at Kursk, in addition to Grossdeutschland's organic heavy panzer battalion. 503rd and 505th were armed with Tiger Is, 507th was reorganized on the eve of battle into another unit and was comprised of Panthers. Grossdeutschland's 3rd Panzer Battalion was armed with 14 Tiger tanks, and another 12 were present in the SS Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler division. Das Reich and Totemkopf's numbers are not listed, but I wouldn't be surprised if they both had a Tiger battalion as well. So yes, there were definitely more than just 12 Tigers at Kursk.

I mean, you have a minority of people like that, but the vast majority play everything. Not sure what it is you're crying like a baby over. No plane 'dominates' anything, the F-15 and Su-27 are both equally good, but at different things, and it very much falls down to pilot skill. Not 'flight models', or whatever flavor of the day excuse shitters keep shilling.

There's no special strategy for the maps that doesn't apply to general gameplay. In addition, rigid strategies tend to fall apart in war game because the matches are so fluid and every deck has a different set of units you can exploit/have to look out for. Just outright asking for strategies for these maps is retarded, go watch some pro player replays and copy what they do if you really need your hand held that much.
>>123826183

>>123825067
Oh, rushing is an ok strategy, but I suggested a way how to kill a rush.
I guess my strategies don't use rushes past midway, only how to stifle them. I love it when the enemy rushes since I usually know how to stop it and use it for my advantage.
On nuclear winter, going across the bridges with a lot of tanks and AA is hardly expected and will throw off most people. You need to have air superiority fighters though to cover them as they are crossing though. Do this mid or later game. You want to give him enough time to get most of his fighting force up in the front lines while you barely hold him off. Build up on the otherside of the river and launch it when you feel you have enough to make a difference.
Give another map name and I'll try to give you a suggestion.

>>123828964
That's because Russian missiles are shit compared to what NATO has to offer. They cant even hit things within visual range while you can make 20+ mile kills with 120s. Russian not even once.
>>123832643
The R-73 is great.
>>123828964
Don't use the R-77. It's a terrible missile that just only barely outranges your R-73s. Load R-27ETs if you want fire and forget at "BVR."
>>123832906
R-73 did get pretty good with the last couple of patches I remember when they were absolute dogshit.
>>123833031
And still be outranged by twice the AMRAAM's range, all the while being as easy to spoof as an R-73?
Russian missiles a SHIT.
>>123833287
I know you're just shitposting, but for the benefit of anyone who happens to be listening, I'll explain.
R-27ETs actually outrange the R-77, even in head on engagements. Although you shouldn't really be trying to fight an F-15 head on, you can sometimes make it work when you're against a really cocky F-15 that doesn't crank as soon as he fires off an AMRAAM.
In a head on engagement (which again, you really shouldn't be doing, but shit happens), what I typically do is fire one off at almost max range. Basically, as soon as the ET gets a "tone" I fire away a single one and then immediately turn tail. By the time you're in range for an ET shot, he's already fired at least one AMRAAM and the ET doesn't need you guiding it so there's no reason to keep flying in his direction. For extra misdirection, lock him up with your radar before you fire and turn around.
At that point, if he's an idiot, he'll fly right into your ET thinking you're not guiding an ER anymore. This works a lot more often than it really should.
Aside from that, I carry a 2 R-27ET and 4 R-73 loadout on the MiG-29 because you'll rarely be in a position to guide an ER all the way into its target, and the fire and forget capability is too valuable. As long as you're doing hit and run attacks while popping up from over mountains, you'll be fine with just IR missiles and you'll be playing to the MiG-29's strengths. The MiG-29 has a crappy radar, so it's kinda not especially useful in the BVR arena.
>>123833878
The thing with ETs is that they're actually very easy to spoof, but if you're doing it right, your target won't ever know you've even fired on them. That's why the extra range is so valuable. It lets you make silent IR kills from much further out than you normally would with just R-73s.
R-27ETs are one of my favorite missiles in the game. They're a wonderful tool in the sneeki breeki arsenal of the game's Russian fighters.
>>123826945
You also need to be sure you killed all their nukebombers. Nothing stops a well orchestrated rush like clusterbombs/artillery.
I've decided that this is the other spectrum of dcs here on /wgg/. You talk negatively about a plane and all the slavboos come out of the woodwork and sperg out.

Then style it like some turn-based tabletop game, not like an RTS. Having ground combat being nothing but positioning units is repetitive boring.

desu I want to fuck around with cool ground attack weapons and dodge sams, but I don't have a joystick and too broke to buy DCS or anything
Seeing as how Red Dragon is mainly about ships, how about we post some more ships?
>>123837740
DCS World is free you know. It comes with the Su-25T.
>>123837754
>>123837839
can I play without a joystick?
>>123837854
Holy crap is that Fleet Command? I haven't seen that game in forever.
>>123837930
With the NWP mod on it.
>>123837924
Yes.

About as realistic as an anime.

White Tiger (Бeлa Tигp). Russian war-mysticism movie where a modified T-34-85 with supernatural crewmembers must track down a CGI Porsche tiger crewed by ghosts.
That entire artillery sequence and tank advance is all going after the one ghost tiger, which kills everyone except the supercrew then disappears.
>>123837924
It won't be a pleasant experience.
>>123838112
Some anime try hard at having at least a resemblance of realism even if they're about a corrupt as fuck paramilitary organization fighting machine-like aliums that don't even grasp what a human is.

General question: how do I get gud at Wargame: Red Dragon? I mean I tried to build a deck and pretty much just barely won against Easy computers?
>>123838593
playing against the computer is nothing like a real match, you should go try that
>>123838593
Computers are bullshit, your best bet is to find a group of people to play with. I don't know if the shitter steamgroup is still active.
And whatever you do, don't get sucked into 10v10 lobbies
>>123838495
You're going to get very angry. Expect to see things like sneaking up on a tank from the rear, only for it to 180 it's turret and snapshot kill you.
Or infantry running down the highway in droves, yet surviving large amounts of MG and grenade launcher fire like it's nothing.
Or reaction fires dominating the battlefield, so it's even more WW1 static-y than Red Dragon...
>>123838682
But I just get rekt and feel bad that I failed my team.
>>123838696
>tfw I actually live in Mongolia (I'm a Westerner) and the ping is shit
>>123838740
I don't have the connection for 10v10, anyway.
Are there some good videos to watch? I want to try to stick with one or two factions (enjoyed the GDR so far) and try to hone my skills with those. Is that a fair strategy?
Also, is Command worth 40 bucks? Looks interesting but is it just total insane learning curve?
>>123839170
This is my absolute favorite meme

It's just your typical Russian tank when hit by anything.
GuP's cast would have a field day with the entire Soviet army.

Is there any way I can run WinSPWW2 in a window? In all the screenshots it looked like it was running in a window but I can't figure out how to get it.
Is there any difference between This version and the DOS version or should i just play the DOS version since I can run that in a window?

There should be an option to do so in the opening dialogue.
Anyone have a good cheat sheet for things like NATO counters/size of divisions, armies, brigades, etc? Looking for a page or two to use while I start wargaming.
>>123837924
Do you have a controller?
DCS on a Xbox pad is workable if you set the left and right bumpers as shift states, effectively tripling your button count. That can be done in the controls menu, no programs needed.
>>123843894
Thanks. I had to start "game options" to get it to work. playing the first Poland scenerio right now
man this is kinda frustrating. I'm getting shot at by guys I can't see but I have to get right up on their ass just to fire back. I mean why the hell can't I shoot at this unit? is he on higher ground or something?

>Better ECM; enemy radar-guided missiles are useless
>Better Radar; see enemy before enemy sees them
>Better Range; Makes enemy go defensive first

>Better Missiles; more reliable, also the AIM-120
>Bigger numbers; Force multiplies every other advantage. Backup can be anywhere it's needed. Iraq's a testament to this advantage. Even in the late 80's, American 4th gens alone outnumbered their Soviet contemporaries by 4 to 1. The "USAAF is the largest airforce, USN is second largest" isn't even a meme here
If the Soviets were the steamrollers on the ground, then even back then there was little doubt that NATO would own the sky (and ultimately, the war until the nukes began flying)
>>123838242
Sounds like garbage. No joke.
>>123851020
Yeah, it's pretty shit. The CGI action sequences are the only reason to watch it.
>"Let's go home, little brother . . . heading . . . one . . . six . . . five." An enemy plane suddenly shot straight up in front of Sobelev. He recognized a NATO F-16. As the plane twisted into the sky, disappearing from view in the grayness, Sobelev's mouth opened behind his face mask.

him.

>20+ mile
We must be playing different DCS games, it wont hit 20+ miles against a c-17.
>>123834373
My favourite thing is when you see some guy at 12+ k meters afterburning, or if you are really low and some guys at 6-7k, you shoot an ET and slowly turn around, he'll think you are scared and keep his heading, after which he'll get splashed.
At at those altitude differences he wont ever see the launch because it's obscured by the nose of his aircraft.
>>123851792
It's an okay starter since it has a full size throttle included, just keep in mind that you'll want as many hat switches as possible for dcs or you will be using the keyboard A LOT. If you use that stick how will you look around unless you have track ir?. The X-52 pro is much more expensive that what you linked but it's a great starter stick.
>>123853160
>>123851792
The cobra defender is an example of a great cheap stick with hats and plenty of buttons, it doesn't come with a throttle is it's one big disadvantage.
What qualifies a tank to be a super heavy over just a heavy, in Wargame?
Point cost?
Armour?
The Six-Day war proved Soviet Doctrine a shit desu.

CZ has no SEAD.
>>123853954
It's a sliding scale, not a discrete label. "Real" superheavies have 22 armor and 23 AP, but even things like the twardy and 160pt strv qualify because they still win handily against 140pt heavies and below.

It fits all the clues for LNs next module and Cobra has had absolutely tonnes of Swedish air force stuff in his avatar the past few months.

What plane is it? EOS means russian and given the number of pylons I assume it's a mig-29?
>>123868793
It's from the POV of a Su-27, the victim is an F-15.
>>123868793
You can see the wingtips in the mirrors and tell it's a flanker
>>123848583
In DCS or real life? In real life it's a lot more than just that like >>123849231 said.
In DCS, if you take away the AMRAAM, the F-15 still has a much better radar and better big picture SA with its RWR, but the fire and forget advantage then goes to the Russians with the R-27ET. However, at least with the ET you get a big missile plume if you see the launch. With the AMRAAM's (and even the AIM-9M to a lesser extent) smokeless motor you'll never see the launch. The AIM-9M, although not as maneuverable as the R-73, is much more difficult to spoof and has a surprisingly long reach.
Kinematically, the F-15 is still faster and can climb like a rocket.
I think in an AMRAAMless DCS, the F-15 would have a harder time against the Russian planes because of their EOS. I've always felt that the EOS was the "balancing factor" if you want to call it that, to the AMRAAM's powerful fire and forget capability.
Fighting with only Sparrows and Sidewinders is a little awkward, and definitely requires you to change up your tactics and rely less on your radar. It's also a really fun way to fly the F-15.
>>123868969
Every once in a blue moon some server runs AIM-7 vs R-27R/T and it is more fun than it may sound like.
You'd think the advantage would go to red because of the R-73 when the combat is forced closer, but i find the sparrow actually is a good missile within its limited range compared to the ER or AIM-120.
>>123870276
That's because the range on the R-27R is appalling and the R-27T is just a bit longer than the 73.
>>123870276
Anything that gives me an excuse to use Sparrow missiles makes me happy. They are my guilty pleasure and I always take at least 4 when I fly out in the F-15.
>>123860429
i loved it, waking up on sunday to that. ive always hated patton and never been able to put my finger on why, exepct that hes seems like a douchbag i wouldnt even smoke a joint with. which is wierd becuase i get a long with almost everyone including in wargame. im glad he finally got something. quitting early in the 4chan match is enough to make me write him off
