An army (Air Force?) fights with its stomach! And so forth...

Eh tomcat- you not on ts3 today?? Was in there hoping to talk to you but couldn't connect. Saw you doing quite well in Roadkill.


Nuke plant up tonight with np1 having had quite a trouncing.

I was on but wasn't on TS cause I was waiting for our ride and only had a short amount of time- we were headed out for some fun at a friends place. Just wanted to do as much damage as possible before heading out for the night. I had just armed up with Mk-82s when the cab arrived or I woulda messed UP those Iglas

Interesting twist

I think to complete the scenario, destroy the initial wave (or stall it) until people get evacuated, and then destroy 'leakers and sneakers' as they try to stop other evacuations ... until evacuation is complete and everyone hits the road before the final wave takes over the base

Interesting,,, another C-130 could attempt a landing to pick up the second wave of evacuees.

The C-130 could orbit until the Iglas are killed.

Devious...

Oooooooooh I like that! Would certainly add an element of focus to the mission. I think also that I understand why the bigger SAMs are on the peripheries of the mission- to prevent people from wandering out of play and keep it centralized in the action zone- not so much as an element of realism. At least that's the way I often see the "unreachable" areas.

By the way- went and dropped a couple CBUs in one of my missions- anyone else get bouncing Betty style bomblets? They hit the ground and then appear to bounce up in the air and then look like they explode in a whole other area... I've seen it a few times. Known bug?

Known BLU-108.

Ended up making a few more changes to Road Kill. Jabow suggested that it would be better for the Black Sharks to be aligned with the Blue A-10Cs, so now all 12 Client slots are Blue.

C-130s were added to evacuate the non-combat personnel. It's dicey whether all three of them will make it out. I could not design in a C-130 to land at Sochi-Adler from the sea side of the runway, since that is not the active runway. It would have made a great scene to have had the last C-130 come in under fire and take off again w/in a few minutes. I did find out that an Igla on a C-130 is like a bee after a bear.

--- edit --- Oh yeah, I switched out the two CBU-97s for CBU-105's after seeing GG's vid post above. There are no CBU-108s available for the A-10C in v1.1.1.1.

Jabow also asked for more FARPs so I added some for both Blue and Red. It is easy enough to put some Red Sharks back in... But, like in -Ice's comment, I'm not so sure the mission would balance out right with a lot more Clients.


So, Jabow and I are having a grand old time last night and a pilot showed up - "Fun". I've seen him before on my server and have had a couple text chats with the guy. But then Jabow blows up on the ramp, says WTHeck, and then I see Fun take out Jabow with a mav, I pointed out his error and he shot me down with a winder, I think it was. That wasn't very nice.



Eno, have you heard of Servman? It's a server monitoring tool, but that's about what I know of it. It may have current compatibility issues with DCS sims, though, seems there are some rumors to that effect.

Frick does that ever piss me off. Sorry that had to happen. I looked up serveman before- I think Einstein pointed it out to me. Looked simple enough but I'm not familiar with the interface.

Btw WC not sure but I think something crashes out roadkill at the end... Whatever the endpoint is- but any time I go back after a night of letting the server run i thas crashed out. Might be worth a look.

That's strange ... it should absolutely land from the sea side.



That's because CBU-108's don't exist (AFAIK). The BLU-108 is the submunition used in the CBU-97 and CBU-105.
