Can we talk about Squad and how Unreal Engine 4 is a piece of shit that can't even support vehicles in a multiplayer game?
I need to find a good standard resolution for this shit. I'm slowly getting the formula right, though.
Thread dying again?
Some HEXSHIT will put a stop to that!

It was in test mode. While trying out the new tanks and comparing their stats I decided to boot up a match with bots and have an infinite resources/popcap spam fest to see how the came handles a ton of armored vehicles in a small space. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly trying to be judicious with my units.
It handles it surprisingly well, as it turns out. Though it helps that Highway is one of the best maps for vehicles despite being a 1v1 map.
Regardless, I'm having fun with these things even if I'm kinda shit at it. Here's one from a 1v1 I played yesterday.

How is AS2 when it comes to pace? Is it starcraft tier rushing, or will I have timne to carefully manmeuver infantry units in multiplayer?
Also what is the usual amount of infantry you will be handling at once? 3 squads or more?

1.15 - kebab removed
>>127171848
I bought it earlier today, so my opinion might be complete trash, but so far its slow to begin with requiring you to tactically place units, then it becomes more strategic.
In a 1v1 I'm using 3 squads or so plus armor once it really gets going, and the pace is slow rather than full-APM micro
>>127171848
no starcraft rushing shit. Its a good pace of war.

How to git gud at Assault squad 2? I am always scared of playing MP in rts games due to how much you get btfo not only by the enemy team but shit on by other players on yours if you do badly.

Ive put a few hours into the mirage now and honestly it is not all that bad yes the missiles need major work and so does the DM also being able to recover from some of the crazy shit you can do with the FBW turned off, otherwise its quite nice to fly and can hold its own against anything in a dogfight.
Any torrent for Command: Modern Air Naval Operations for the poor ass War gamer? Spent all muh Christmas money on a flight stick for DCS before I knew it was a fucking thing. I know there's one for the stand alone original one 'Armageddon' or some shit, but I'm looking for the whole she-bang.

Why is everyone who plays one of the few "traditional" strategy games remaining so bad.
Why is there no real matchmaking.

>>127183415
yes it's a bad game.
And the community is horrible, hence why nearly every mod for this game is one aimed at improving german factions to be better, and are labeled "realism mods"
>>127183904
I mean, fuck, I enjoy it, but the unlock system is incredibly jewish on cards allowing players with more hours played to minmax the FUCK out of certain playstyles and the lack of matchmaking means I fight these guys EVERY TIME.
The high damage Brit and American are both prestige 2-3 level eighty, meaning several hundreds hours played. Excellent.
Meanwhile I'm at around 40 hours actually played and rank ~50.

The Logitech 3d extreme pro costs almost exactly as much as the T16kM in europe, why is it recommended again?
>>127188365
Because europe is not the world?
Its double the price of the 3d pro in my country
>>127188750
How much does the Defender Cobra cost where you live?
>>127188903
Its not available in my country, but from a quick search it seems 45-55 euros plus shipping which is still going to work out more than 3 times the cost of me walking down the street and picking up a 3d pro from any generic electronics store

it's a while since i played it, and i can't stand watching all the youtube videos with voices to refresh my memory, but i felt as if though all the russians do is complain, and all the germans do is tell you how they're really not bad guys and have no choice.

If you spread out your infantry, heavy artillery should never be a problem. They cost so much they'd have to destroy 5 full squads of elite infantry to make back their cost.
Just ignore them and think about they could have gotten a Pershing for that price.
>>127188289
You should never have a slower forward airspeed than 120 kmh until you're in ground effect, then you can worry about slowing down. Treat your landings as if you were in a jet and not a fat helicopter.
>>127192770
I don't have the mi8 but isn't that a little fast? As long as you have your vertical speed in check it shouldn't matter what your forward airspeed is no?

there are no cheap micro tricks or metas, how well you do revolves around having a good plan and decision-making skills like a brigade CO would need IRL.
>>127157552
That map in particular has the highway in the middle elevated just enough that you can't quite shoot past it from the other side without moving up towards the highway in a hulldown position.
Regardless, that's still a pretty stupid question. It's not a simulator, so you're not going to be having battles from 2 miles away or that would destroy the gameplay and make it nothing but missile spam. Tanks can engage pretty damn far in the game to begin with as long as you know where your target is(Vision or not), but elevation and obstructions matter. This map in particular was a 1v1 map and wasn't that huge to begin with. If the terrain wasn't uneven the tanks would be shooting into spawns(Not that that necessarily matters, there is spawn protection, but still.)
>>127192770
The Mi8's T/W R is THAT bad?

>Losing anything to a Puma.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. If you need artillery that badly just get a radio op or at the very most a mortar. For that amount of MP you spent you could have gotten a real tank, or several squads of elite infantry.

It's not good for directly controlling vehicles. It's good for giving orders to ground units via the F10 screen so you can tell artillery to shell something you spotted while flying and JTAC with your friends. Worth it for 5 or 6 bucks.
Can someone confirm that the 104th pvp server for DCS world is down? I want to make sure I'm not the only one unable to see it on the browser. I was playing and all of a sudden I got sent back to the browser. I hope I didn't get banned or someshit

>>127209968
I just didn't know it would always cause this much discussion. The threads seem increasingly about the hardware stats from a particular game.

>>127208089
The BVR part, you're 100% right.
The dogfight part, you're dead wrong. If you can learn to use that shit where you turn off the flight assist, you can fucking Ace Combat niggas all day.
>>127211405
>If you can learn to use that shit where you turn off the flight assist
So you didn't actually read the post?
the su-27's shitty cobras and such turns leave it in a horribly low-energy state. if you do it while an f-15 is on your tail, all you've done is given him a bigger gun target. Then he can just hit afterburners and split-s or hyy away laughing.
you can't even chase him if you're on his tail, because the su-27's twr is garbage. again, the f-15 can just run away and then come back at you with superior energy and speed
>>127211405
You don't need to turn off flight assist at all, all you need is to keep turning at 600-700km, and you'll win, and you'll win because most F-15 pilots will start turn fighting, or they'll go vertical for their ebin loop, at which point you fill them full of r-73.
>>127211532
>you can't even chase him if you're on his tail, because the su-27's twr is garbage. again, the f-15 can just run away and then come back at you with superior energy and speed
>I'll Just Run away when we are in WVR, there's no way he'll kill me with a missile or anything
this isnt ww2 you know.
Also once its below 6tons of fuel and without 2 r27s that are under the engines, you wont be running away much.
>>127211572
>600-700km
which the flanker can't keep up with because it bleeds speed like a motherfucker
>>127211646
>implying the f-15 also won't be missing half it's fuel + missiles

>>127211532
>having anything on your tail while in the Flanker
Lmao learn to fly. You don't hit and just stall your self the fuck out, you use it to get ridiculous angles of attack for just long enough to get a shot off.
>>127211572
This comrade gets it. You don't really have to use it all that often.
The BVR shit pisses me off. AIM-120s are just so fucking good. Aim 7s makes the fight fake at least.
Speaking of the 120, I have this really old school book called Future Fighters, full of concept art and miss information. It's so old the DOD drawings of the MiG-29 and Su27 are so horribly wrong.
They mention early in the book that "soon most of the USAF will be equipped with the AMRAAM"
>>127211773
eeeh no you dumbass, that's its sustained corner speed.
if you keep it at that no other plane can match the turning rate.
>>127211857
Aim-120 isn't even that good, the issue is all SARH are fucking dogshit, and ed is just HURR DURR BROOFS COMRADE?
>Oh yeah ED they'd just keep using missiles that are almost completely useless all these years.

>>127211572
>most F-15 pilots will start turn fighting, or they'll go vertical for their ebin loop

>>127212165
>boom and zoom
>against missile-equipped aircraft with T:W >1
>>127212165
Some are some aren't sometimes a turn fight is unavoidable, since missiles are in play, so you can't just go straight and start running away.
>>127212295
Better than trying to turn fight fucking Flankers of all things.
>>127212165
no because 70% of the time firing an AIMRAAM within 10-15nm is good enough to kill the flanker
in the f15 drivers noone but ralfidude and his friends knows anything about wvr
>>127212008
Funny thing is the R-77 isn't very good either. Kind of a shame really.
For a Russian company, I'm pretty impressed that ED hasn't gone crazy with bias in favor of flankers.
>>127212491
DCS is a sim not some f2p p2w game, doing that will make them lose part of their playerbase.
>>127212424
AMRAAM's are very easy to evade. They work like press x to kill only because of low skilled pilots.
>>127212491
The R-77s flight model is badly optimized, but then again all of them are, they suffer from doing insane turns when they don't need to and as a result they lose too much energy.
ED has said that they are unhappy with that and are going to fix it before the end of time.

Wew l- I mean, well said tovarish.

I kinda wish ED would FIX THEIR FUCKING NETCODE
also finally make plane 2 plane datalink work in MP, yeah that'd be great.
>>127212781
Even the standard anti-missile maneuver works like a charm. Put a missile precisely on 3-9 line, get to lower altitude than the missile, spam chaff a bit. If the missile's signal strength on RWR stops increasing, you can reengage. Missile defeated but will still track you for a bit.
You can do a "snake turn" maneuver by doing high g turns left in right, while still flying straight at the enemy. Works great if you are on a flanker. The point is to do a faster maneuver than the amraam's radar gimbal limit allows.
There is also a barrel roll variant of it, where you don't even lose the radar track for your ER missiles, but it's much harder.
>>127213280

get a superheavy, a cheap standalone tank, good fire support, good spammable infantry, infantry with reliable RPG, and max out the air tab

>>127219342
don't forget to max out the recon tab as well. It should provide most of your fire support, so avoid unarmed options.
>>127220014
Can you give more detail on this?
I see a lot of guys sitting around with recon and have the weapons turned off. Is this smart or...?
>>127220137
Generally, this is for recons you don't want to get spotted, such as 2 man recon teams, or exceptional optic recons, or recons you're sneakybuggering around with.
>>127220137
you should be spamming good optics armed recon that is cheap; what you are likely observing is destruction shitters using overpriced exceptional optics and being afraid to lose it

another wargame noob here, you can thank steamsale...
im tring to build an easternblock motorized deck, and im a bit spoiled for infantry/recons... How do you guys choose? (any general guidelines?)
formoza/jednotky/jednotky90? seem nice highend units, so far i really like the nade launcher on the formoza but they are pricey especially with helo transport. does the jednotky90 with the better rpg warrant 5 extra points?
zwadowchy/specialaufklarer/pruzkumnici: these seem identical except i can get the polish one in 10pt armored transports, the czech one has dragonov but im not sure how useful is that...
grenzer seems useless compared to them even for 10pt, only militia 5 man squad
transports: what to go for and when? the german 5pt armored one seems like a nice option for spam infantry, vydra for the czech, 10pt skot for polish? when to use helo? is it worth putting the lstr40 into the 55pt helos? (i really found those helos useful so far with my limited experience). is it a bad idea to use fjb40 as manpads who can actually defend themself?
t55 recontank worth anything? it got some armor and gun with enough ap to shoot down transports for 25pt...
probably a lot of stupid questions, but i would appriciate the answers...
>>127224045
>grenzer seems useless compared to them even for 10pt, only militia 5 man squad
The point is you spam them everywhere with their weapons on hold fire.
>transports: what to go for and when? the german 5pt armored one seems like a nice option for spam infantry,
Remember that cheapo 5pt transports often have crap speed/weapons. For infantry you tend to use aggressively you'll probably end up spending a few more points to get some sanic speed wheels or an autocannon on your transport.
>t55 recontank worth anything? it got some armor and gun with enough ap to shoot down transports for 25pt...
No, it never hits. If you want cheap good optics recon BDRM-2s are fun because they're so mobile.
>the czech one has dragonov but im not sure how useful is that...
Sniper rifles aren't too bad but most of the time the squads they are in will never see combat so it's not a big factor.

Does DCS model the Su-25's hilariously low flight ceiling when loaded up to the max like that?
>>127226978
All I can remember is that it flies like a turd when you put that many weapons on.
>>127224045
formoza are mediocre atm because sapery szturm are better at anti-infantry for the cost and don't take up precious recon slots
jednotky 90 are literally the best recon infantry in the game, you must run as many cards as is allowed
restrict yourself to at most one infantry in helo for all decks, preferably in 24d for red side
LSTR are great in spw
recon t-55 is very bad but fills a role that eb has no other way of filling
yes grenzer are dogshit, the reason specialny are the best recon in the game is that they can do everything, grenzer on the other hand can do nothing

thanks for the input, how terrible is this? (my first deck, be gentle senpai)
>>127229901
You don't need Vydras *AND* brdm-2s.
LAZUR is a GOAT helo killer because of it having two types of IR missiles, so it fires very quickly.
idk if you need one card of flamer T-66s let alone two.
Likewise idk if you need 3 cards of AA helicopters when it's not really a helo rush deck. The Czech Mi-24 with S-24 rockets is great but runs out of ammo in seconds and the Polish Mi-24 is just a generic gunship. I'd consider swapping a card of Sokols or one of those.
>>127229901
Get OSA AKMs to serve as the backbone of your ADN. Lose a card of meridas and get some better tank to replace them. Get rid of the second card of Sokol unless you're a professional early-game helorusher.

very good for a first deck, Id only do it differently in 5-6 things if I did it myself
you should try to max out the air tab unless you really need everything else
ASF benefits massively from being elite, this applies to the LAZUR and even somewhat to the mig29
remember to keep the lazurs for antilongbow because your AA cant handle those effectively
you probably have too many vehicles and helos,
helo inf is ideally standalone, kommandosi have a poor rpg and even if you drop them somewhere they cant do damage to tanks etc, jednotky are a much better candidate

thanks for the input, i try the changes see how it works
what is wrong with the strop2? i choose it because its not radar and has decent range
there isnt any better tank for a motorized deck... well there is another t55 with atgm but only 40% accuracy instead of merida's 55%
switching one jednotky to heli seems a good idea, thanks
