I used to play this very good old(1997) sim called Jane's Combat Simulator: Fighters Anthology. Wonder if there is a way to get it running again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane%27s_Fighters_Anthology

>Fighters Anthology features 142 aircraft, ranging from fighters, bombers, transport, and civilian aircraft and helicopters, 125 of which are player controllable aircraft excluding helicopters, from the years 1956 to the 2010s. The game provides various modes of play which are Single Missions with 124 missions, Quick Mission Creator in which the player adjust parameters, Create Pro Mission, allows for creation of new missions and the editing of missions in the game, Replay Last Mission which is only active after a mission has been played and Campaign.

I would just make like 20 Su-27's vs 20 F-15's and shit.

Not being able to tell if you're actually part of this community or not is important when handing out free modules.

Considering I can't say if you are or not, I'm holding off since you can just sell the shit afterwards to make a profit and that is your entire purpose here.

Eh, if you're cool with WVR-only and being useless against anything more modern than the MiG-21, go for it. It's a stupidly easy plane to fly and fight in.

If you want to actually be competitive in PVP shit though go for FC3. DCS PVP is boring as fuck though.

How successful are you guys finding yourself at attacking ground targets in the F-5?

Setting the pipper to 80 depression and diving 20-ish degrees from 5000ft, trying to enter the dive at 350kts is getting me in the ball park of the target, but I've yet to actually hit anything yet. With the rockets, a depression of 14 with the same parameters seems to work pretty well.

BST didn't actually include the proper tables for pipper depression for different attack profiles though, just a few fixed values. Sure is a good thing they delayed the module almost three months to finish the manual :^)

Should I buy the F-5 even though I'm a complete slavboo?

***OFFICIAL OPS ANNOUNCEMENT***

CSAR PVP OPS JULY 24TH @ 2200 UTC

GATHER ON THE TS AN 30-60 MINUTES BEFORE.
(can be changed if enough people want a different time)

AVAILABLE MODULES:

>BLUEFOR
UH-1H
Mi-8MTV2
Ka-50
SA342M
F-5E-3
A-10C
Combined Arms

>REDFOR
MiG-21Bis

(Additional modules may be added under special request, ie: not having any of the above modules)

SIMPLE RADIO WILL BE USED. DOWNLOAD IT HERE: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/releases

Ask someone in the TS if you're not sure how it works before the op starts proper.

Mission Planner will also be used to plan out each teams strategy before the Operation proper: http://jboecker.github.io/dcs-mission-planner/planner_client.html

This mission is fairly simple, but will be an interesting test to see how simg does objective based PVP ops against each other.

>>149347196

It's a fighter that was designed for third world peasants whose only training involved a cardboard box and a box fan. It's as simple as it realistically should be. The 9P-5s are shit, though, spoofed by flares on even sluggishly maneuvering targets, basically all the guy has to do to survive a missile shot is pop a flare or two.

Also, has anyone managed to do a crossbleed start on the right engine? The manual says it's possible, but I haven't been able to do it.

Whats a good module to jump into thats disgustingly fun but with a plane thats complex to start? I know the A-10C is popular but am curious what other modules are good. Would prefer jet instead of helicopter

>>149382384
mirage

>>149382384
Ka-50

But since you prefer a jet, try Falcon BMS

>>149382493
>>149382494
Thanks, I'll check them out. KA-50 is definitely on the list when I jump to helicopters. I've heard the Huey is a pain to fly

>>149382971
Mirage isn't actually that complex, the startup certainly isn't.

Ka-50 is a good call though.

The 40's/50's planes have flight models where it feels like you're really moving

BF109:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WYkMPar_dw

Also the F-86 and MiG-15 have that feeling

>>149382971
Not much you can do with the Huey or the Mi-8 as they're mainly transport choppers. Sure the UH-1H can try to be a gunship in a light threat enviroment.

The Ka-50 is to a gunship helicopter what a ground strike fighter is to a CAS aircraft. You shouldn't loiter around or overfly much in it since it's a 1 pilot heli (with 1 pilot situational awareness). But you can fuck shit up with a lot of accuracy and distance between you and them.

You need to check your dive angle as you're about to release

If you have all the other parameters bang on but your dive angle is 30deg instead of 20deg you need to aim a bit short I *think*

I'm able to get rockets bang on every time in the training, same with guns

with bombs its either very close or a hit

Two tactics utilized IRL against planes with look down/shoot down radars:

1. You listen to AWACS calls while still on the ground and time your takeoff for when the enemy fighter is <20nm so he has less time to fiddle about with the radar (dont know if you can call AWACS on the ground i just know this tactic from CMANO desu) so you're basically like a SAM

2. You hide in valleys to mask from radars, check for contrails overhead, flip the radar on and off etc

Top tier air superiority fighter confirmed.

>>149401045
B-52s had radar-directed bombsights

The a-7 and the f-105 would have just been using manual reticle depression and attacking with given parameters.

>>149401045
Before precision munitions a bomber would do the same as they did in WW2, which was take the best air data possible to compute a release point and then fly to that release point as accurately as possible. RADAR for target acquisition and INS for superior navigation increased accuracy above what a B-17 could expect but the actual techniques were identical.
A fighter would "dive-bomb" by making a steep approach using a set of parameters with known ballistics and release once he met the parameters as closely as possible. Eventually INS could develop an expected trajectory with POI which simplified things a lot because they could just hold the pickle switch and sweep up through the target and it would release when it thought it would hit. Then laser-guidance came out and it all went out the window.

Even if a lot of it's really convoluted and unnecessarily complicated in DCS (jettisoning shit mostly), everything look like it's perfectly placed so far as actually flying the damn thing. Even with the stores system like it is in DCS, you could just flip multiple switches at once and do that shit in just a second or two and already have your sidewinders ready in the time it takes to do in DCS.

It's probably the most ergonomic and fuckin simple module at the moment, and I dig it.

Damn senpai those were some good ass shots.

What do you think of warthunder sim? Also what do you think of flight gear?

>>149442230
I'm more accepting of it than probably anybody else here because of its matchmaking and ease of organizing a quick game with my more casual friend. Open Conflict is the closest I can think of to an Enduring Confrontation style map/mode in DCS and that's completely fan made and fan run.

War Thunder as a whole though is hard to compare to something like DCS or treat it like a normal flight sim because its format is so completely different.

In terms of straight up realism I would say at its best it's like IL-2 46, which means it's an adequate survey sim, but hardly a benchmark or remarkable in terms of realis. It's sim enough for me to enjoy myself and for real tactics to apply, and sim enough for him to get a sim-lite experience without having to figure out DCS and go through the hoops it requires to setup and get into games.

Its okay as far as sims go, but it's free, it has a lot of planes, and it's a good looking game that takes nothing to run smoothly. If you don't mind the long wait times for sim games it's worth giving a try. I feel like War Thunder is better suited to it's RB mode. If only the devs would pull their heads out of their asses and deal with it's core problems, like the shitshow of it's matchmaking system which is really a symptom of trying to make a game that's both historical and balanced via a 1v1 basis. What they should be doing is ditching that retarded table altogether and balance it with the maps & mission objectives (like actually having some) instead of everything being random assortment of planes in a deathmatch.

And what can you do with those? Nothing. Because there is no dynamic campaign and there never will be.
DCS is a sandbox for autistic manchildren that has no purpose.

>>149443354
I dont know when you last played, but WEP has changed so that running your engine hot all the time with WEP will cause damage over time. It can get bad enough that your engine just shits itself without even having to engage WEP at all.

This is all in my experience with the Bf-109 and Fw-190. I couldn't tell you how that applies across other planes though, as War Thunder's biggest sin when it comes to "realism" is the varying degrees of realism between planes.

>>149448054

s'alright. Requires a lot more attention to detail and the ability to fly a a specific flight profile consistently, though, and you'll have to memorize (or write down) some tables.

Had pretty good accuracy with Mk82s in the F-5 so far with my kinda steep dive attack profile.

Set manual sight to 30 mil, do a 50-60 degree dive at 450-500 KIAS onto the target, release about when you start getting worried you won't be able to pull up in time without over-G'ing.

Bomb profile the tutorial teaches is slow and way too vulnerable to ground fire.

Pretty useful for not bombing yourself at low alt though. And they look cool as shit.

>>149457826
Yeah they're pretty useful for low level strikes. Just wish they worked a little better.

I'm using the FAB 100s on the L-39 at the moment and very rarely manage to get a hit close enough to destroy anything against a road convoy

>>149454995

The F-5 is at a disadvantage at the moment because
>retardedly-narrow missile seeker FOV
>radar is buggier than shit
>radar gunsight doesn't actually work

That being said the F-5's weak engines really hamper it. You bleed speed fast in a turning engagement and it takes a while to wind that speed back up.

sure is a good thing they delayed the module for two months to put on the finishing touches

Wasn't IASGATG or however the fuck you spell his fucking name the guy who did the missile-unfuck mod a while back that made missiles perform reasonably well?

Anyway in that thread he says that those values aren't actually used by DCS, but the performance of the F-5's missiles are just outright flawed anyway. Maybe BST forgot to override those values or something.

The freelook thing I already do, I'm mainly just asking about composition and stuff. I'd do more action shots, but DCS's ground textures look awful even with a gorillion mods so it kind of ruins the shot IMO, and I'm trash at air-to-air so I can't ever really get into situations where I can do cool air-to-air screens.

How does an F-5 compare to a Skyhawk in bombing capability?

>>149468297
The same it compares to anything else:
Poorly

ay guys look what I found, should I buy it?

>>149468297
A-4 would have better selection of A-G weapons and generally has a larger payload capacity. Though the pylon layout means they'll generally carry a comparable amount of bombs.

For aiming in the F-5 you have an adjustable sight. Though that's all you have, you don't get much/any help.
