Then thank you DD_FT! The balance is perfect. Especially for noobs (As I class myself after 7 years away). You can get in, get up and get shot down in moments, no need to spend 4 hours looking for the other guy in server. S!

Its the only way to use the F4 radar to get BVR kills against fighters in my experience, known about this for a while, but that video explains it really well. I have the buttons mapped for entering Boresight and the different aspects on a 4 way push hat (push to enter Boresight mode). You can use this method in WVR as well, just put the piper on the enemy, no need to 'Jester context button long' to lock, you can fire as long as you keep the piper on the bandit through firing to the impact. The F4 radar is a Fire Control Radar really just for guiding missiles onto targets rather than for building up a situational awareness as well, as in jets from the F-14 onwards, so you need to be guided on to the target (as accurately as possible) to use this method. One thing that is pretty key to note, is that if you are being guided on by AWACS in the F-4, you will need to know the MAG Variation on the map at that current date and subtract/add to the BRA calls by the AWACS to be guided on accurately and have the enemy in the Boresight cone. F-16/F-18/A-10 can access the Current MAG Variation from inside there cockpit displays for sure, maybe others, so I use one of them to check it when building missions. Its a sensible thing to have in the Mission briefing page.

Definitely useful for the upcoming cold war campaign that's in the works right now 👍

Glad you're enjoying yourself, all credit goes to DD_FT

Saw the same video myself yesterday and was going to post it here!

Just a quick thank you for keeping the DD server alive and interesting. Coming back to CloD after probably 7 years away, its a great place to cut ones teeth again (I got a bit of a shock with just how aggressive the 110s and 109s are). Good Stuff. Thank you

Here are some Screenshots I made of Chris and Tom flying in formation. Sadly I didn't know the hotkeys and i had to use the windows Screenshot tool so the quality is a bit lackluster

Since you requested for us to make a comment here: I'm in but won't drive tanks. Another suggestion to the scenario: If we don't get enough people for tanking, we could make it so that a flag can also be captured by paratroopers. For balancing reasons i suggest that the C-47 would need to drop 3 times while the Ju 52 would need to drop 2 times (since it is way slower than the 47) But this really depends on how many people are willing to drive tanks

I have messaged Roger directly after we had our chat informing him of the fact that I have ownership and have made him an admin. Just waiting for him to reply. Thanks Jabo.

Ownership of the Dogz Discord has been transferred to Col.

Gentlemen Local partisans have told us a Luftwaffe general is flying into Tamen. Our mission is to intercept and shoot down his transport plane. If successful our secondary mission is to hit targets of opertunity at the airfield and surrounding area Mission scheduled for Sunday 2100 uk. Mods on but only need icon mod.

I think it would make sense to limit the loadouts of the fighters to encourage playing bombers. It would be nice if only bombers had bombs and the fighters are purely air to air. I haven't looked at it but if the 51Ds have 150 octane it also would be more fair to remove it as well because the G-14 is not on par otherwise Just my two cents here

Thanks mate we will try it out tonight

On your pc the mission was created/saved in the 'Multiplayer/Dogfight/Campaign tester/' subfolder, that subfolder is missing on the server. To fix it: Either create that folder on the server, and put the mission files in there. Or re-save the mission to the normal 'Dogfight' folder on your computer, then transfer it over to the server. Or edit the .list file and remove the 'campaing tester/' folder reference from all the lines in there. In this case I applied the third option. It should load now.

It is a great looking map Delta. I am sure it will come to give us many hours of missions

I have purchased the cold war Germany map in case we can do this

I'm not sure ft, I can run it on my pc but get a file transfer error when I try on server, mission is called all flags defences if you want have a look

What issues are those? Anything I can do?

Ok still have issues hosting this on server but I have copied the map here so you can see the plan of action. My only reservations so far are 1) we need people to man the tanks,( I dont know if the guys from 352nd in our team plan to do this) 2) The bf109 can only carry one 250kg bomb whereas the P-51 can carry two so each of their planes has double the capacity of ours.

Monday 2nd June Last night for a change of scenery, myself Fenriir and Max kicked off a new Foothold campaign based on the Syria map. The scenario opens with us flying from Akrotiri or from the Carrier. These are the only Blue operational bases. The first phase objective is for us to secure Cyprus before we can attack the mainland. This campaign is the latest version and has new features such as naming pilots that they are going to hunted down in response to actions they have carried out. For example Max attacked an airbase and then received a message to say that "Squeeze has been targeted and a flight of two have been scrambled" Fen also got a similar message for one of his war atrocities... This will not replace the Caucuses Campaign which is still on going, but gives us the option for a change if we feel like it.

Yes Collin you can. It will auto save in the same Saves folder you have for the Caucuses foothold you have now. You can alternate between the two or three or more if you wish.

That would be really fun! I prefer the era of primitive heat seeker and semi active radar guided missiles. A mission with less long range SAM sites and more close range AAA would be very cool where the targets are moving convoys and tank columns

A Foothold campaign on the Germany map is being tested at the moment. Needs everyone to have the map of course....

Might be fun, could we explore cold war ish era scenario?
