How are people playing the 1968 campaign without wanting to pull their hair out?

>>180325521
I've actually had a lot of fun playing the 68 campaign with the Russian playable subs- you have actually functional torpedos and it's fun to use the sneaky diesel boats, or the AESTHETIC November

Does the Mk 48 actaully miss? Everytime that triangle has turned red I've gotten a hit

I always thought of a cold-war themed RTS that would work kind of like a base building game since the secondary theme would be post-nuclear and everything is decentralized

In DCS, is it just me or is the Ka-50 really easy to overspeed?

>>180330660
It is but you'll get used to it. Make sure to roll left and rudder right when turning fast. Also if you lower the collective you get up 450 in a dive and not have to worry about rotor collision.

It's just RNG, AFAIK

Both times I got them to pop by being issued the Tankers and Tenders hunt mission, so there's usually a Chilikin AOR or some other AO, like a Kazbek, accompanied by a couple Kanin DDG's and maybe a Grisha FFG

>>180354910
I've sank 30 submarines about 15 of which were through the SSG mission. Of those I've only got one Oscar. I'm dreading an insertation.

Why do people prefer SH3 to SH5? Whats the difference?

I was considering installing SH5 with the TWOS modpack, would this give a decent experience of the sub genre? I'm pretty new, have just been playing Cold Waters over the last week or so and fancy diving in deeper.

I couldn't find a better thread on /v/ or /vg/ to ask this:

How feasible is it in Elite: Dangerous to team up with friends to PvP? Some posts I read from 10 months ago said that it's possible with the Wings update, whatever that did, but often you're not put in the same instance.

So does it work or not?

Did they nerf the Mk.48's or something?

If you Wing with people then you can mostly get everyone in the same instances, but theres a chance when all of you don't drop at the same time to be put in a different instance.

If you really want PvP your best chance is just interdick people doing powerplay such as moving cargo don't the fags doing combat zones because they always in the le reddit discords of what ever superpower they are in.

They didn't? Soviets made 23 Sub classes throughout the Cold War, Americans made 28.

Granted the Americans had a lot of one-offs, but on the other hand I'm counting the auxiliaries for the soviets as seperate classes.

Better is the enemy of good enough.

Cold Waters feels like the submarine sim equivalent of Whack-a-mole.

That's because it's not even a carrier. It's classified as a heavy missile cruiser with carrier capability.

(i.e. one pilot is going to depart big town in the morning and fly to nowhere municipal to irrelevance, NA to Atlantis georgia regional airport to i forget the name of this one, then back to big town in the late afternoon, but if you look at that passenger-booking wise that can be big town > Atlantis Georgia, irrelevance >i forget, or so on, since the airline probably doesn't even let you book the circular flight.)

How is Arma 3 as a casual flight simulator?

I don't want to have to learn a plane inside and out like it seems DCS requires. I just want to fly planes and do attack runs like in old games like Silent Thunder 2 and Warbirds.

>>180427961
It's not even a simulator. You can land planes flying backwards with the flight model. >>180394387

>>180427961
Strike Fighters 2 is a good go-to for that sort of thing.
I would insist that on balance the best modern jet simugame. DCS feels more like a series of tech-demos and betas and Falcon 4 is amazing at the one thing it does, which is simulate the F-16. Okay, okay, and an entire war. But only for the purposes of giving the F-16 something to do. SF2 by comparison manages diversity of hardware and theaters, and has that cool mercenary mode thing, albeit without being as in-depth as Falcon is for the Falcon or DCS is for the 4 planes you can buy for it at the price of a full game each.

What you can do is find an airline flight the end of the day, punch it into that airlines flight tracking website, then click "where is this airplane coming from" a bunch of times. You'll then find out where the aircraft is going all day. However, you won't be able to see when crews are swapping, or where they're swapping from. That sort of information is not public.
probably because nobody ever cared other than crews and the company, and it changes very frequently

Maybe dont get so close to an active torpedo trying to find a target.

Shouldn't it be a massive detriment to any sonar to have a Tu-95 operating anywhere near it? It's literally the loudest flying aircraft operating right now.

>>180474712
...do you have to surface and then assemble the plane before it can be launched? Whats the recovery operation like?

Why was this even built?

>>180507235
>Why was this even built?
Planes are excellent recon vessels, especially back when sonar and radar wasn't awfully advanced.

See: hunt for the Bismarck, Tirpitz.

>>180507396
That's great, so now you get to goto war with a shit plane and a shit submarine, all rolled into one. I bet that hangar does wonders for its fuel consumption and speed.

Anyone still play BMS? I've been eyeballing Falcon 4.0 on Steam, but it's apparently nigh-unplayable in vanilla form

>>180510023
sole purpose for it being on steam is so you can legally buy it for BMS

>>180510023
I do, but /simg/ hates almost everything about BMS.

We pretend we like it on paper but when it comes to actually trying to play a campaign we do dumb retard shit, skip briefings, don't bother setting up missions correctly, half the players don't even know how to set up and use the weapons they start with, use total meme loadouts and then complain when we lose all planes on the first day of a campaign. We then get bored and stop playing it for a while.

But don't point this out, you'll be branded an autist if you try to point out that the game must be taken seriously if you want to play it properly.

>>180510685
This is honestly true.
On top of all that they never do cold starts. Every mission begins on the runway, and they exit as soon as they are out of ammo.

>>180512142

SH3 is more simulator. (you need to mod it properly though to correct some bugs if you want to do everything manually)

Both 3 and 5 are good games, 5 of course looks better, but it also holds you hand a little more.

Just dont play 4

>>180539482
Whats wrong with 4? I find the Pacific campaign quite good and the mod soup with corrected optics is excellent

>>180497451
Breddy fun. A bit lacking, right now. Calling it a released game is a massive over exaggeration, as it's buggy as fuck, lacks content, and the terrain is absolute shit.

>>180510023

>>180512142
I'm playing a BMS campaign at the moment. I'd say BMS 3.33 feels like its a going concern at the moment. I admit I don't ramp start very often and I'm still struggling a bit with mavericks sadly (working on it) but you don't have to take every mission that comes up.

I don't know about taking it seriously as much as buying into the campaign as a story generator that throws up quirky situations and often kills you in unexpected ways like a Dwarf Fortress type thing. I find predefined missions quite boring by contrast even if they are guaranteed to have a greater density of events.

Well that was quick, even with the latest update. It seems to me the Delta class is the key. In a previous campaign I let a delta escape and it immediately ended the campaign with a stalemate, this campaign I sink one Delta and the entire USSR collapses.

so simg accepts disposable green men rocket simulator game?

>>180579298
I never disagreed with that statement. I just feel that submarines are very vulnerable to aircraft. In the ATO most uboat got caught by aircraft and the Japanese were useless when it came to ASW. Sometimes SH4 feels way too easy because the best way to avoid destroyers is to go deep and silent whereas in SH3 they will start dropping hedgehogs on you.

Go silent running and wait on time compression. 1 of 3 things will happen, you'll pick him up on passive, he'll pick you up and launch a torpedo, or you'll both get so far away from each other you can just end the mission. If is just a non mission encounter don't worry so much about having to sink it; it's only when it's a spetznaz mission that sinking it is important.

>>180563897
Shkval isnt wire guided. You fire it out along the bearing of an incoming torpedo from a sub you've not detected in the hopes of snapping the guidance wires of the incoming torpedo and hopefully making the target evade and make some noise.

That's why some of them were nuclear tipped, so that accuracy isn't required.

Damn the maps on 2.1 are a meme but I'm looking forward to 2.5

NTTR looks really nice, shame the Hormuz map is more sand.
