Why don't we just admit the truth.
There isn't anything really to talk about. 90% of posts are just "NEVER EVER" and the other 10% is other shit posts.
Literally all we do is just bump the thread, 749 times and then do it again. Whats the point?
Maybe we just make a steam group or something, announce ops, get in TS, and play.
That's it. Lets just stop pretending these kind of games have enough to actually sustain discussions.
You know its true.

Is the steam version of DCS 1.5 or 2.0?

Whats the best way to deal with enemy fighters in the A-10C? Right now I turn on jammer and go low and put them in 3 or 9 oclock to break lock, and wait for them to get close, and then turn and fire sidewinders. All this while dumping chaff/flares.
>>147580692

>>147580692
In case you're being tagged by his radar or locked, Jammer and go real fucking low
In case you know there's an active CAP flight in the area, use terrain masking as much as you can
A-10 is really helpless when it comes to facing enemy CAP
>>147581847
Actually the a10 can outturn pretty much everything, the manual even recommends putting the gun in a2a mode and just blasting the shit out of your pursuer.
The real danger lies in BVR missiles
>>147582348
Outturning doesn't mean shit if your opponent knows what he's doing.
Most people attacking ground pounders just take passes at high speed to take out CAS aircraft.
People turnfighting A-10s or SU-25s deserve to get shot down

Alright, this is my first time here and I come with a couple of questions given I'll be purchasing IL-2 in a month or so. I've slowly become more and more of a fan of flying sims(mostly old ones and not overly complex) over the past year and I've been looking for a decent flight sim to try out. So here are my questions:
>On steam I see two or three different bundles/versions to buy, as a beginner to IL-2 Sturmovik. Which one should I get?
>Peripherals. I have a joystick(Logitech Extreme 3D Pro) that I got for a friend, what else would I need to play?, Do I need a head tracker?
>If above is yes, what head tracker are out there for a reasonable price?, if there is a link or guide that will do, thanks.
>What is the extent of the control you have of the aircraft?, does the game help you a bit or do you basically have to manage everything yourself?
>It lists single player and multiplayer. To what extent is the single player like?, is the multiplayer enjoyable?
If there is a guide, or link that can answer all the questions above and/or more feel free to post it.
I know this is a huge list of questions, that make up a huge post. I honestly wouldn't want to go anywhere else to ask this stuff, and since I just came here today and thought for a while of what I wanted to ask hopefully one of you or more can help me out. I don't want to blindly buy this game without knowing some of if not all of the things I asked above. Also going around message boards and sites like reddit give me a headache with their weird layout to search for things. Thanks in advance, and hope this doesn't get ignored by shitposting.
>>147586542
How do you feel aboutMiGs?
>>147587620
everything about that mig-21 is off enough to make me want to slit my wrists desu
>>147586542
>Do I need a head tracker?
Heavily recommended
>What is the extent of the control you have of the aircraft?
Full control unless you untick some options. You can fly as if you were playing War Thunder (SB) if you want. CloD has clickable cockpits, BoS doesnt.
>To what extent is the single player like?, is the multiplayer enjoyable?
Being completely honest, I dont enjoy the SP from either CloD nor BoS. I stick to the good old IL-2 1946 for that purpose because its quite customizable and has a huge range of options.
The MP in CloD and BoS should be amusing. I think BoS has even fewer people that plays MP compared to CloD (with the TF mod). '46 MP is dead.
>>147586542
>On steam I see two or three different bundles/versions to buy, as a beginner to IL-2 Sturmovik. Which one should I get?
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 is the original IL-2 with all expansions
IL-2 Cliffs of Dover is a different, newer IL-2 set in the battle of britain, as expected. Get the team fusion mod for it if you're interested
IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad is an even newer IL-2 set in the skies above russia. It tends to be pretty hit and miss in regards of you liking it or not.
>Peripherals. I have a joystick(Logitech Extreme 3D Pro) that I got for a friend, what else would I need to play?, Do I need a head tracker?
What else you need to play? Absolutely nothing.
Do you need a headtracker? Only if you want it.
Probably delanclip or something in ebay made by a chink in his workshop. TrackIR otherwise has a monopoly on the market pretty much.
>
>What is the extent of the control you have of the aircraft?, does the game help you a bit or do you basically have to manage everything yourself?
Adjustable in the options as far as I remember.
>It lists single player and multiplayer. To what extent is the single player like?, is the multiplayer enjoyable?
SP: You get campaigns and whatnot to fly in, they're Dynamic too as far as I remember.
MP: PvP and whatnot. PvE maybe, can't remember
>If there is a guide, or link that can answer all the questions above and/or more feel free to post it.
If you didn't read through it, the planefag pastebin has some great general info that might be worth reading.

Who's got a gun forcing you to stay here?
>>147587620
Like I said, first time here. So if this is a meme, I don't know if its a tricked question.
>>147588428
Yeah, I should have been more specific with the game. I'm planning to get IL-2 BoS. Does the game play from 1946 to CloD to BoS differ a lot?, The first two are only 10 dollars each. I could get those to get a feel for the game and see how I'll like it before I move to purchasing BoS and playing the multiplayer there or on CloD first.
As far as the controls though, I feel the option to not go full control is great for me as a beginner. Thanks for the answers
>>147588937
I'll probably start looking around for a cheap head tracker then. I'll give a look at the stuff in the OP then, read up on some of the stuff. Thanks for answering the other stuff as well.
I think I'll probably get the first two(1946 and CloD), since it seems the head tracker is not needed and both games are fairly cheap. That way I can get used to it and decide if I want to get BoS later on or just stay with those two.
Again, thanks both of you for the answers and what not. Was really helpful.
>>147589169
>replying to 4 hours old drama
you're as shit as him
>>147589775
Fucking kill yourself
>>147589575
>Does the game play from 1946 to CloD to BoS differ a lot?
'46 has a "simple" complexity and there's a lot of content made by the users so you cant expect complete FMs. If I had to compare the complexity, DMs and FMs, it'd probably be similar to War Thunder. Its still good though and there's a mod that makes dynamic campaigns something like Blue Flag from DCS
CloD has clickable cockpits with full funcionality (opening the sidewindow to hear the enemy plane feels nice sometimes). The details go as far as you being able to pick individually (per gun) how you want your ammo belt. On the downside, the AI is dumb.
BoS is a bit less complex and the FMs feel more forgiving. As stated, no clickable cockpits. The AI in this game cant be controled and its "decent" if you play on Ace difficulty.
>I feel the option to not go full control is great for me as a beginner
Just disable the complex engine controls and you should be fine.
anyone using webm for retards getting bitrate=N/A when using HQ mode?
>>147586542
>Do I need a head tracker?
Yes, it's as much of a game changer as the difference of having a joystick. Use your phone, there is a guide on how to do it on the pastebin. If you like flight sims, consider buying one of those headtracking kits from the Hong Kong guy on ebay.
Now get out before you start getting cancer.
>>147567123
Why do military sims? Like the ones the miltary makes themselves have such low quality graphics, and rather odd half life 2 tier physics?
Is all they could do is hook up a Humvee and some rifles, and or a cockpit to a pile of computers and a roof full of projectors?
>>147593443
>Why do military sims?
I ask myself this question often. Why do they?
>>147593742
Yes, no but really.. I get the whole lowest bidder thing, but they couldn't shoot for Bohemia Interactive, or even rockstar, or hell even EA to do the world building, vehicle handling, and graphical design?
Instead it's almost like half life 1 and gta III in terms of being out dated.

>>147594043

>>147594890
but gta v in first person is a more realistic combat sim then the simulations I've done at the base, sure gta v doesn't have a giant car and guns that respond to what you are doing with them in front of any PC or ps4, but still the way I control the sim isn't the only part of it that immerses me into the simulation to simulate experiences, if it doesn't look, sound and act real in game too, then it just doesn't help as much.
What we have is almost close to movies like Gamer, a whole room that can interact with a computer sim.

seriously, a VR tank simulator of like a Panzer III or some such would be really fucking cool. Just have it so that shit you can interact with gets a little icon drawn over it when you bring a controller near it (and you "stick" to it slightly) and have the buttons do different shit contextually based on the thing you're interacting with
Of course it'll never happen because VR might as well be stillborn

>>147636826
Y'know what sucks? You're not entirely wrong.
If WTGF had better maps and some actual combined arms content (as in, infantry, aircraft merged in a way that isn't stupid as fuck, stuff like that), and wasn't so piss-poorly balanced, it'd be a fucking awesome WWII tank game.
Hell I'd be happy if they just unfucked the balance and stopped giving tanks, seemingly at random, non-historic ammo and armor loadouts.

DCS (hell, even flight sims in general) is not the kind of game that attracts helpful, levelheaded people interested in challenging themselves, improving the game, and having some fun.
The DCS playerbase (what's left of it) is made up of:
>Braindead 40-year old betas. These guys have no interest in seeing the game improve outside of shiny new iconic planes. They usually have around 20 hours logged because all their time is spent sorting divorce papers and begging the bossman for a raise.
>Autists with superiority complexes. The sole fact that they play simulators makes them smarter than their peers, who spend time on lesser games. Anybody that shoots them down is clearly a cheater and needs to be banned, there's no way they could've made a mistake. Fun is for dumb normies.
>Underage retards that came because they were under the impression that DCS was big boy Ace Combat. This one doesn't need much elaboration, really.
That's enough projecting for one post. Besides, I think I covered the big ones.
>>147642861
What about some newer games? I'm pretty used to playing Auran's Trainz games, so I was wondering if a better game came along in the last 10 years since I've played Trainz 2006 (6 motherfucking CDs that game had)
