Fuck. I guess I should just ALWAYS start with one or two TY-90's just to fend off helirushes. Responding to that shit made me get sloppy and I lost a lot because I was struggling to change orders between units that were nowhere near the fight at the time.

The first round officially starts next Monday so get your family together and sign up on the steam page. We have some good teams signed up so far. VulcanHDgaming will be casting a decent amount of matches if that sweetens the pot, and if that doesn't then maybe the mystery prizes will.
I will be posting the coming week's map list on Friday if anyone wants to get going early and play some matches this weekend.
>>124088505
There are a couple solo players signed up. Did you try PMing any of them? I will help them form up into groups sometime Friday. If you don't want to do that then just sign up your 2 man team in the team thread and I will try to get a solo player to join you.
Basically, if you have a two man team it will be a lot easier to find a third if you make yourselves public in the thread.
Good luck!

Is there a mod out there that makes Russian clusterbombs in DCS useful?
>>124113873
nope
>>124107886
It looks like a halfway finished mod, which definitely doesn't justify their asking price.
>>124114454
>20 dollars
It's pretty early in development and gets updates often(Infact it got one a few days ago.). I don't really get the halfway finished mod thing. Personally I think the balance is already worlds better than AS2 even with some of the vehicle and support unit pricing issues. Pretty refreshing to not have cheap autocannon crutches everywhere shitting up the pacing of the game and no cloaking bullshit so you have to actually use terrain to sneak shit around.

The dimensions are not the same - turret is a lot smaller on the Armata, especially when you remove sensors, smoke launchers, etc. The actual armored area on the turret is very small.

I bought the Wargame bundle, is there any reason why I should play EE and Airland over RD?
>>124146210
Because EE is by far the superior game. The sequels are gimmicky, and RD is the damage control of trying to bring things back to EE despite being bloated with all of ALB's problems cranked up to 11. Multiplayer is pretty meh in RD anyway, so the small numbers in EE aren't a big deal. Multiplayer was never Wargame's strong point anyway.

3rd map is in progress.
After finishing off the 7th Armoured Brigade, 9. Panzerdivision moves on to Verden, an important river junction where the Aller splits off from the Weser river, just south of Bremen.
5. Armee has consistently supported 2nd Guards Tank Army and 3rd Combined Arms Army in their drive towards the ports at Bremen. They are now reaching the outer limits of the city in record time, thanks in part to the supporting East German unit.
However, NORTHAG's only American unit, the lone 3rd Brigade, 2nd Armor Division has managed quite troublesome. Fighting a long retreat over dozens of kilometers into Germany, they have finally ground the 10th Guards Tank Division to a halt.
However, the second echelon in 12 Guards Tank Division is now pressing it's attack, supported by elements of the further south 47th Tank Division. These units are all now converging on Bremen for one final showdown that will determine NATO's ability to land reinforcements in northern Germany. However, the battle is destined to rapidly transform into an urban hell. Worse still, the West German 11th Panzergrenadierdivision has moved south to outflank the 3rd Red Banner elements from the south, and the American 5th Infantry Division has crossed the dutch border to attempt to hold Bremen for only a while longer.
5. Armee is now tasked with ensuring that the Soviet attack goes as planned. At this rate however, the Panzergrenadiers will have crossed the Weser before they can arrive. All that stands between the West Germans and Soviet flank is East Germany's elite Fallschirmjäger Battaillon-40. Landing a full day earlier, their objective was to eliminate NATO nuclear delivery means in the vicinity, however their task now is to hold the bridges at Verden until 5. Armee can relieve them.

>>124169959
It doesn't fly nearly the same as a normal helicopter. With the autopilot modes activated (as they should be), your trimmer controls pitch and roll directly, not the rotors. Want to fly forward? Put the helicopter into the desired pitch, adjust collective, and pull the trim-lever. It will automatically maintain that pitch.
>>124169959
If you seriously can't fly the KA-50 you wouldn't even be able to take off in the huey
>>124107154

Would assume no missiles from after dissolution of the soviet union.
Technically AIM-120C should still be allowed, since it was delivered to operational units in September 1991, while Gorbachev resigned the day after Christmas.
>>124186229
You mean AIM-120A...
As for DCS cold war servers, it's usually just no AIM-120, ET or ER.
>>124165978
I stream it quite a bit and occasionally participate in the AS2G ladder. Those guys are on another level, though. I can hold my own but they've got the game down tight. In pubbing I usually stomp, though.
>Country
US whenever it's eventually fixed. Otherwise Japan/USSR
>Vehicle
Love/hate relationship with the current broken as fuck autocannon vehicles, Luchs and T-60. Fun on the giving end when you're seal clubbing someone's entire army(Even all their AT) with near impunity. Frustrating as fuck on the receiving end. Biggest reason I've moved on to Call to Arms.

BMS is super good. It's a shame that getting the stupid thing set up is such a roadblock to new players. If there's anything that shows BMS's age, it's that it's from an era where spending a week getting your sim running was just the accepted norm.
The crazy thing is that BMS is stupid simple to set up and install these days compared to what it used to be. Just INSTALLING the damn thing was literally a whole day affair. The "patch dance" as we used to call it.

Fucking amazing
Eastern bank has been raised one elevation, and is mostly done now. Just have a lot of roads to throw up.
>>124175650
Ah yes, AMX-10
>>124215384
What are the different colors in the roads for?
>>124215909
Orange doubles = Autobahnen, marked by white on blue signs. In Flashpoint they are assigned as "Highway" hexes, offering the least amount of cover (10%) for any terrain in the game. The tradeoff of course is that they offer the fastest movement (80% + road status). So the general idea is that they're great for logistics (Thus making them important objectives in every scenario), but in combat they're death zones.
Yellows = National Roads, marked by black on yellow rectangular signs
Greys = Landesstraße (Or country roads), and Kreisstraße (District Roads). Typically marked by white-on-black or black-on-white signs.
Not all roads are covered; only ones the devs refer to as "suitable for tanks".
Why is it in Chinese now?
>>124222513

>Biggest reason I've moved on to Call to Arms.
Is Call to Arms really good? I've been looking at it a little bit and I might get it. How's the multiplayer scene?
>>124230051
If you go in acknowledging that it's a game in early development, it's pretty outstanding. Some units need minor work in certain places(Mostly just in pricing), but it's not enough to disrupt multiplayer at all from my experience. I generally have little trouble finding a match and I do 1v1, arguably the least popular mode; And find people with enough frequency that I regularly stream it.
If you're coming from Assault Squad, it's a fairly painless transition. In fact, you might fall in love with the generally much better infantry play and less reliance in general on vehicles being crutches like they are in assault squad instead of what they ought to be: Support tools.
Stuff is still rough around the edges, but overall I have to kind of drag myself to pick up AS2 now. The infantry play is just too improved in CtA for me to really enjoy AS2 anymore, and though the vehicles are somewhat nerfed by pricing, they're a shitload more satisfying to use.
>>124230532
Thanks. That was all I needed, I'll pick it up next time it's on sale.
Don't know if this is a suitable general for it, but...
I've been trying to play Commandos 3 for days, but since I'm using Win10, I'm fucked as it won't let me install Legacy Components such as NT framework 3.5 or DirectX5/"DirectPlay".
The game's Steam page says that it isn't compatible with Win10 at all, and recommended to run the game on a Windows XP Virtualbox.
So I did it (installed the gog version on Virtualbox running WXP) , but all I got was "commandos3.exe has encountered a problem " when running it... Tried on a Win7 VM, same problem.
I finally got it working when I installed it with Wine on Linux, but there the game is a glitchfest and crashes if I try to use any of the high-res patches.
Is there any way I can play it on Windows 10, even on a VM with the right settings?

Except at the end of the day you're still stuck with boring WW2 planes that all look and work almost identically.
>A10C
You have one in FC3. The clickable shit only effects the user personally. No one else actually cares what variant you are flying.
>MiG21
Unless you're playing coop, or you all agree to fly MiG-21's on a server that actually has enough to try and do goofy antics against modern aircraft, then who cares? The module is fun but it doesn't even have a symmetrical opponent.
>Choppers
literally nothing for multiplayer.

>>124252059

They all have propellers they must be the same right?
>The clickable shit only effects the user personally
what is datalink and buddy lasing also having access to 95% of an aircraft's systems is not a bad thing.

Sure it doesn't have an opponent, doesn't mean its not fun.

>WW2 but GOTTA GO FAST

>>124252059
>Comparing the A-10C to the A-10A
The A-10A can't even employ precision guided munitions other than the AGM-65, stabilize it's gun on the ground to do effective anti-armor with it or use all that advanced nav equipment, datalink and TGP which make the C variant so useful. They might fly the same but the avionics in both have enough differences to not only effect in user personality.
>Mig-21
Kinda agree with the Mig-21 being a bitch to fly solo, but it's actually manageable if you do it with a wingman or two against even modern threats
>Choppers
>literally nothing
There used to be good missions for the KA-50, I wonder where those went. I remember flying a mission where you'd need to go into a valley to pop some insurgents with 3 or 4 other people once.
Kinda agree with the WWII planes and the Mig-15 and sabre tho. They're just outright boring at the moment, not enough unit variety in that time period to really justify doing anything in them.
>>124252868
The A-10A actually does have gun stabilization when you pull the trigger, but it's not a separate trigger pull like the A-10C. All the rest of what you said is right. The A-10A is a lot less capable than the A-10C.

Freaky. I had a dream last night I played a remake of an Ace Combat mission in DCS and was even thinking about how you would go about designing such a thing to adapt it into DCS and still be fun. I don't think it would be too difficult to adapt AC style missions into DCS, as long as you design them with DCS in mind and use some simple script functions.
The hardest part of making a fun DCS/Ace Combat crossover is the voices. I don't know how you would do that, but a lot of the charm of Ace Combat is the radio chatter and DCS has none of that.

It's worth knowing how to plan your own missions in BMS because the AI that creates missions isn't particularly smart. They'll give you weird loadouts for a mission and/or have you overfly tons of SAM sites to strike some factory way behind enemy lines.
Don't stress out about following whatever mission gets generated, and the same goes for the mission results screen which is really harsh because you could end up taking a whole airfield out of commission but if you didn't blow up that one crane they wanted you to blow up they call the mission a failure.

Every fucking game has the same missions, same themes, same plot, same main character wank, same hamfisted pacifist messages. The only genuinely good thing about those games is the music and they managed to drop the ball hard even on that.

>>124301195
>>124301695
You're welcome to not play it if it ends up being good. It doesn't matter anyway, the game won't sell enough to recoup its costs and it'll be the final straw that breaks the franchise and finally kills it for good. The series never seemed like it sold well, with only a vocal minority of dedicated fans (myself included) even really liking the game.
I figured Infinity was going to be the last one because the F2P bullshit just wreaks of desperation in trying to save a franchise that isn't profitable anymore.

Oh please. AC5 main character's point of view was biased as fuck towards the murikan stand in - it even had the kraut stand in getting imposed unequal as fuck terms (in the prequel) and the dumbfuck protagonists wondering why would they want revenge for that. The games are so anti-nukes/superweapons it hurts (nothing out of the ordinary) but the pro disarmament message they try to convey comes across as "not having MAD sucks" - and even fucking kids can get that.
And you know what's the best part about it? Practically every game that has some resemblance of a plot is like that, the only exception being AC3 JP which is about corporations protecting their own interests.
>it's good fun
The AI is completely braindead and that gets boring pretty quickly. That applies to practically all of the games, (some) bosses excluded, and even those are far from being a genuine challenge.

>>124306295
Not him, but complaining about AI in an Ace Combat game is dumb as fuck. If you go in expecting some shit like Over-G fighters or DCS but on a console, then you're an idiot. Ace combat isn't about '2deep4u' plots or nationalist circlejerking. It's just dumb, casual fun in a theme that not many games touch. Plenty of action, great music, lots of speed, lots of toys to fuck around with, ridiculous boss battles against unrealistic bullshit that's cool to look at. That's Ace Combat. Want to know what happened when Bamco tried to appeal to people like you? Assault horizon.
If you only care about 'muh realism', then what do you give a shit about Ace Combat for? No one is implying it's the best game ever or something, but it IS fun as shit and a great couch game with just the right balance of challenge and casual play. Not every game about flight needs to require hours of reading, head tracking, and a 200 dollar HOTAS just to play with 3 other people on some laggy server.

>complaining about AI in an Ace Combat game is dumb as fuck
It's a completely legitimate complaint since the AI in the first 3 games is better than what you get in everything that game after that. See: mooks in AC from 4 onwards don't even try to dodge XMAAs. And the cause of that is the missiles' tracking algorithms that are made so that missiles can be dodged even if you're a completely drunk overworked salaryman - if the AI was half decent it would be hard to score missiles hits on them - which would be totally fine by me, even if it was an additional difficulty mode (which exists, but only as paid DLC in ONE game, and before you say that the "Ace" mode from 04/5/Z is that, all it does it make you take more damage, it doesn't change the AI behavior).
>Ace combat isn't about '2deep4u' plots
They tried something like that once and it was nice at the very least, despite being heavily influenced by GITS.
>nationalist circlejerking
It has that too. Just not in the form you're used to.
>Want to know what happened when Bamco tried to appeal to people like you? Assault horizon.
>If you only care about 'muh realism', then what do you give a shit about Ace Combat for?
Why would a IL-2/DCS player want something like Assault Horizon? Why would you say something stupid like that and then type a rant about reading manuals and headtracking? If anything Assault Horizon is something that catered to the average casual fuck (the majority of Ace Combat's playerbase), and if the setting, DFM and the sales numbers aren't the proof of that then what is?
>Over-G fighters
Now that's a good console casual flight sim. That and Aero Elite Combat Academy.
Is it just me or is fighting against the AI more fun
