DCS "MISTRAL" GAZELLE... Time to use the A/A missile on the Gazelle 

I’m preforming a rescue mission…😏

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING More like Coup-de-grace with a pistol.

@@iou0 LOLOLOLOL

Hopefully they keep it in… we will know by the end of the weekend

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING if not then they may want to take away the Hind A2A capability. For that matter, they should just take away ALL Helicopter A2A Guided missile capability....

@@_kill563 yes?!

​@HeloHounds then that won't be fun beacause heils need self defence against enemy heils or fixed wings

TY.... Glad you enjoyed it!

THAT'S AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your side of the story! You almost made it back to the airbase after a crazy fight! Hope to see you out there again and maybe we'll be on the same team this time! PS I also landed the way I did because in my mind I was afraid you might open up your gun on me if I landed right in front of you! LOL

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING I was so very close, didn't know it had 0 sam remaining. It was the second flight in a row where I kept having to dodge fighters. I think blue had a gci. I was frustrated with the heli hunt so the flight after this one me and a friend took a mig 21 and 19, and on our way we found a gazelle and shot him down, then did PEGI 18 stuff to him on his farp out of frustration for the mistral. This might have actually been you 🤣 Cya around on enigmas, and I hope you keep those great videos up, they are super helpful and fun 😁

Too bad they took it out already 😥

Yeah, because of how good the range and locking on fast movers. This made it official that they decided to take it out of the server. No more flying Sam sites!

TY! glad you enjoy them! Hoping to have another vid out soon(this weekend hopefully)

Nice I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you… my views on adding it is the fact that it can only be air to air combat. If you use those missiles where is the hind you can have air to air as well as air to ground all on the same flight.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It was a great time to get this record. The hanger shot is probably my favorite to this day

RIGHT!!!!

Ty

TY

You’ll get there! Just keep at it

I totally agree!

TY 👍

You know it!

Ty

Sadly it was not to be. They have already removed it because of it range to hit the target

I agree but I can prefer better field of view

Np! Hope you were able to try it out in time because they took it off two or three days later after introducing it

It’s always bin on ECW… it was the Mistral missiles that they added and wanted to test. Sadly they have made the decision not to keep the missiles on the server

sorry i meant the mistral variant specifically@@DTMCRAZYGAMING

If the range to lock on was cut in half. I could see it work. Also the F-14 and MiG 29 cost 50 points to get it on the server and you don’t see them too much If your asking if the took the a2a missiles out for the gazelle, they did

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING ofc they took it out. That's why I can't stick with enigma's server. They want you to fly legit fighters but dumb them down or just give you a little sling shot to shoot with. You can only have fun in a 10m radius and if you have a heli that can shoot down planes (which they could at that time) they'll take it out cause the fighter pilots on the server will whine about it. I get the BVR missiles. But no IR? That's lame tbh.

Practice makes everything better. You got this!

@@DTMCRAZYGAMINGAlright cheers, i'm a tad way off of that, but I'll work for it! so i can get into DCS finally!

It was the first game I ever played. I thought about changing it… like “Menace”cause Dennis the Menace was my nickname when I was younger.

If you’re referring to the Sam sites. I think that sector had two air fields in it and the one I was at did not have air defenses.

This was a weekend test that didn’t even last the weekend. They decided that it was too overpowered, and they took it off the servers

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING thanks, quite sad. Was thinking about buying it but now im not gonna i think

@@davinci69 I would definitely suggest trying the “contention” server. There’s a lot of players that fly them and gives red team a really hard time.

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING Thanks for the suggestion, I'ma test it and take a look at that server

I see your point and believe it is a good one. However I feel I need to compare aircraft with other aircraft… that what they do in the real world to get the better edge/even the playing field. So Hips and Huey are basically troop transport even though it’s clear the Hip has better fire power Hind and Gazelle are attack helicopters. But the hind can carry a/a and a/g weapons at the same time during flight. Gazelle can only fly with the Mistral or have a different load out with no Mistral. So they are still limited to what they can do but at least this give them a helping hand.

Couldn’t agree more

Sadly yes 🥲

Hmmm really

@@DTMCRAZYGAMING Ive been trying to put Mi8 down. On four missiles only one damaged it. It landed and exploded but a small amount of flares made my Mistrals dumb and they missed the heli..

I'm sorry to hear your not a fan of the team... Keeping it 1960's to 70's timeline and trying to balance both teams to make them happy can be a bit hard to accomplish. On the bright side they have a early cold war weekend event coming up soon. Check Enigmas channel for more info!

This is a great example of why we do not take player feedback on certain topics.

Precisely the kind of response I was hoping for from the server owner himself. I think the response sums up quite well why my boys and I have a negative opinion on him. Regardless, i'm optimistic for the future of the Cold War era in DCS. Hopefully with more servers on the rise as well.

To say the R60 is significantly better than the mistral is really full of bias and ignorance. I don’t really care if it stays or goes, but as pure heli player (blue and red) the mistral is so so sooo much better. Smaller warhead but more range, better fire angles, more speed and better turning capabilities. It often takes 2 to kill a target, but I’ve never been fired back at after the first hit. It knocks them out enough that they can’t fight back anymore. Also regarding the Enigma team, they have ‘power’ but I do think they try to do what is best for the general public and the server. This will always annoy and frustrate some people, but you can’t please everyone. I absolutely hate the new cauc for example, but I know they are trying and can’t just remove the map because I want to. And I know they will keep/remove the mistral based on a weeks worth of data rather than me crying about getting 1-shot pilot killed by mistrals in my Hind way out of my R60 range. The Gaz needs love, I prefer to see a special kind of troop drop, but if the mistral ends up being balanced, so be it.

Kept watching the video and R60 would never had gotten tone at 10:00 and if it miraculously did, it would never have tracked and hit.

All good points to note... I think helos being spotted EWR would be way too easy. just thinking about Magic(real player EWR) tell me where helos are make it 100% easier. Last thing is that the Hind has a/a(Syria map only) and a/g capability already on the server during its flight and is a tank that flies. where the gazelle can only hold a/a missiles or a/g weapons (cant have both at the same time). Its also very easy to shoot down.

With no restrictions, you just get F15,16,18 launching AMRAAMs all day, it's boring. There is definitely a place for servers that prioritize gameplay and some notion of balance.
