Really liked the walk through of what you are thinking. I've been on this server for several weeks and feel bran new when I try to go Air to Air. I lose situational awareness so quickly since I haven't built up the mental map of knowing where a plane can be once it passes you, goes into a turn, etc.
I like to keep my F-14 alive when I get the credits for it, so I will extend away so I can come back into a target with a lot of airspeed and altitude to give my AIM-7’s more P(Kill)
What about the “beam rider”? It’s arguably the best tool in the current 1960s scenario for the MiG-21. I can’t help but wonder how many have been shot down to it in the 1960s scenario. It’s super hard to employ initially, but once you have the feel for its parameters it is quite easy to get good results. Shot down 5 Blue Aircraft with the darn thing a while back over the course of a few sorties. The Mig-21 is pobably my favorite Cold War aircraft to fly (with the F-5 being a close second); though the F-4E seems like an excellent all rounder, it still feels more difficult to get results in. With the F-4E getting the Aim-7E the beam rider is more needed than ever to counter it. (The mig also has better declutterring features on the radar which may make it more dangerous than the Aim-7E at low altitude).
This might sound like a dull question, but how on earth do you spot and reacquire targets so easily? When I play, I find it really hard to physically spot another aircraft, and then even when I do, if I lose eyes on them for a second I can't find them again. I can't work out if it's a 'git gud' issue, or a graphical rendering issue.
i had suffered same problem. I tried many things and found out that using 1080p and disabling DLSS and using shader program helped me a lot. not perfect but much better than before reason why using 1080p is just making enemy dots bigger in far distance.
What I don’t like about the new dots is everything has to be done via zoom. Like no one wants to fly around zoomed in all the time. I’d like it the other way around, less need to zoom to track dots
In VR. I see no spotting dots since a few updates ago. I know exactly what you mean about parachutes looking like planes, but it doesn't work for me anymore.
I was out of town last week so this video was an older one. So some comments may be dated because it's from a ways back. I have some videos unlisted that I keep as a back up so I have content to post if I am out of town
What are your settings? I find my spotting dots are almost impossible to see and fade out very quickly if I do catch them. I play at 3440x1400 with 2xMSAA
historically redfor always complained about double racked R60 yet here we have ace in a flight with them lol. thought the drag would make it bad but color me surprised. nice sortie. it's a bad case of monkey see monkey do but now I have an itch to hit HBCW
You could have stopped after "complained". The server has to be balanced around Redfor and their complaints, now I hardly see people on when it use to be full 24/7!
Subscribers never get punished for their greed when chasing for their 5th kill
"Don't be to greedy"--good advice. We are all guilty of trying to get just one more.
With that A-10 shot I almost expected a Micheal Douglas “Greed is Good!”-meme to pop in.
@tver I prefer the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition: "Greed is Eternal."
What a G, take a long break, gives up his server, comes back in a jet he's not flown in ages and goes full john wick!

Love your vids! Love Cold War! Love the Mig21! Keep it up!
Great sortie, nice to see and hear your thoughts as the situation develops 👍
That r3r was filthy

in Switzerland this week and can confirm, club mate is still rank
Does the server support FC 24 ?

@@vandesrasVery creative approach. I always figured bad spotting = too low monitor resolution
What is the spotting system change?

You should fly the MiG-19
is this the heatblur cold war server, former enigma? thanks
Yes
what's the new DCS spotting Enigma talks about at 2:40?

@@Enigma89 But about the spotting for me it does look like you have incredibly easy to see enemies like they are closer than they actually are
How can i hide the gun camera? I havent seen it in the Special options.
Camera is a switch on the right side on the cockpit. If you leave it off it won't appear

Ping me on discord and I'll post there
Redfor is dead in DCS. MiG-23 has been killed, The Fishbed died of old age, only helis left. So sad.
was this also recorded 2 days ago? because i might have been GCI on the other team at the time.
No this was recorded like 6 months ago. I have to keep a content bank just in case I go out of town so i have back up videos :)
