We have decided to launch this early as we beta tested this and confirmed everything works fine. We will be releasing this today. Let us know what you think below.
Hey enigma Im asking this before I purchase a pc an a setup to play this game but is the F-14A and things like the f-15 on your Cold War server? What type of era of Cold War vehicles is able to be used on the server?
@@Kenneth-mq8wp F-14a is, but it's a reward for killing 10 ground units (10 ground units = 1 f14a life). It's a great system. Good luck with the PC build mate, it's a good time to be buying a GPU compared to recent times
"More reward for more skill" is definitely the way to go. These changes also mean that transport helicopters might spend more time at the frontline, where the situation is intense and uncertain, and less on boring transits to and from the bases in the rear.
Thanks for continuing to improve an already great experience. The Enigma's Dynamic Cold War Server is first DCS MP-server that I truly have felt enjoyment, thrills and a purpose. The recon missons are nerve wracking, with deciding if you should recon a few more target areas or run home to deliver the film.
Is there a possibility that one day there is a second ECW server or a second mission for the late Cold war era i.e. with the Mirage 2000C etc.? Love your work for the DCS community and your videos. Your quality standards are increasing rapidly and it shows :) keep up the work!
This looks awesome! Impressive work. I'm trying to patiently wait for the next ED sale to get the hind so I can join. Watching the complexity of just starting that thing compared to the Apache is mind blowing :)
This is fantastic for helicopter guys and in general. Definitely my favourite DCS multiplayer server. Also weather and time changes should make things more interesting. Would love to see how game dynamics change when it's not blue sky at noon but a rainy evening for example.
It's nice to see the team taking note of suggestions and working to keep improving the server. With these helo changes it might become the n1 choice for helo pilots once again.
Just to manage expectations but we are not striving to be the n1 choice for helo pilots. Ultimately, helicopters are at the whim of their CAP and should play accordingly. We do not feel that flying a helicopter should always be viable in every situation.
Amazing work, one of the most complete servers out there for DCS. A question: will the random infantry spawns after their job check that they won't spawn inside a forest?
I'm really looking forward to more recon. I love running ATG missions, but I always find it very hard to actually find ground targets, especially on the Syria map. Having some markers should give me a good boost to actually help my team instead of getting blown out of the sky while I look at the empty ground.
I'm loving the new mechanics being added. Now my only wish in the near future is to also hopefully see Geopolitical missions, and also hopefully something unique like a 2 front war maybe. Like in Syria for example in the future maybe you can add something where Israel and Turkey have teamed up along with the US, and both Blue sides are pushing inward from the North and South respectively while Syria Pushes outward. (Of course Geopolitical as well as the use of appropriate units and factions) Another idea is just like how you have the occasional bombers that spawn and fly, in the cold war scenario maybe you can add a mechanism where, only when the one or more F-14s are occupied, a Tu-22 flies in from the opposite end of the map at subsonic speed but at a high alt. As the Tu-22 approaches the red side base it begins to increase it's speed till it goes Supersonic as it makes it's way to the Blue Side. So this will kind of raise the stakes as well as put F-14 pilot's intercept skills to the test. I also see an opportunity here to allow no more than maybe 2 AIM-54As per aircraft specifically for the Tu-22s so you have to be very careful and sparing when using the Phoenixs
Great video, I will start by saying I love the Cold War server, I bounce back and fourth between the CW server and BF 80's and modern. By far the best servers for players/Pilots who value maximum realism and also the variety of platforms to choose from in these realistic simulated conflicts. Heres my 2 cents on some of the content of this video.... my caveat however is I know NOTHING about computing so I may suggest something that is not remotely possible please forgive me haha. 1. Weather: I would like to see the weather reflect the regional norms, for temps, sky condition, and season. Specifically for season, if we could have "seasons" in the server, perhaps of a few days each season I think it would add to overall immersion. For example, what I can do in a helo in very cold temps at a high elevation like some of the caucus regions, is DRAMATICALLY different that what I can do when its 32 deg C. I think having days long "seasons' with their associated weather norms would be much more realistic than bouncing back and forth each re-set. Also having more periods of darkness durning game play, I know this would be difficult in some ways BUT it would force different platforms and different Force "Postures" eg, not going to be many night CAS missions or helo activity in those days, however there would be strike and CAP activity at night. Perhaps just some shorter periods at the beginning or end of a session at first? 2. The other thing I wanted to bring up is the liner gameplay you mentioned. One of the aspects that I find very interesting about BF is that the front line can really change shape, in CW it is always more or less linear. As the shape of the from changes, it drives very different tactics and strategies as you may be facing threat for 2 or even 3 directions of the map.This forces adaptation of the team and individual strategy as the campaign progresses. Also the ability to set up additional units outside of the known locations of enemy bases (helos bringing crates) provides a very realistic "unknown" to the game. If you see a bunch of enemy helos buzzing around somewhere, you can just charge in to splash them all because you may well get a manpad up your pipe! Great job with the server, the Cold War line up certainly is exciting especially with the platforms that we know are coming in the near future. I know some of my suggestions may be a way off, that's ok just wanted to throw them out there. With planes like the mig23, the f4, A7 and A6 all on their way I think night Strike might become a little more feasible, even if its a dark departure and transit to hit the target at first light... Thanks!
Thank you for a thoughtful message. For #1 we do seasons already. The temperatures range from -5c to 35c. Regarding #2, we are sort of fixed with the linear domino set up of the Frontline but we wish to make it feel more organic in the future.
@@Enigma89 ok Roger that, I must admit I have been on a blue flag kick for a while now so I get the two mixed up a bit at times when it comes to things id like to see to enhance the scenarios. Not at all a slight of the CW server, it just so happens that when I have the urge to fly CW the last month or two, the server is full or very nearly full. Plus I find once you commit to a particular "campaign" on the servers such as yours and BF that are the most simulation based game play, it is hard to pull away to another "conflict" until there is a resolution so to speak. One of the elements I really love about your server is the airframes and also the points system to limit certain platforms. Most conflicts don't and never would have 15 hornets and tomcats against 15 vipers and flankers so limiting the most high value platforms is a really realistic idea tbh. I enjoy new and old aircraft, they offer very different challenges but I am extremely excited for the CW era modules that we know are on "Short" final. I can only imagine Enigmas Cold War server on the Vietnam map with phantoms, intruders, corsair 2 and mig17s. Great job so far, love the server and am very pumped to see where it goes in the future! Cheers
I don’t think the green smoke idea being the same for each side. I feel like in a realistic war scenario they would radio the pilot with a predetermined smoke color, since we can’t do that in DCS we stick with different smoke colors per side. It just makes sense.
Those are some fantastic changes, helo gameplay looks like it will feel a LOT more dynamic. One question though, if the dropped troops only find 1 nearby target, will the entire infantry group move to that location, or will only the sufficient number of troops to kill the target be moved? Do they ever split up? Already loved flying the helo's on caucus, with these changes I feel like they'll be a lot more fun on Syria too.
As an emerging cold War flyer will we get to see the r530 on the mirage? It was deployed in 1962 and is time period correct. I don't feel with the radar as it currently is on the F1 that it is to much more of a force multiplyer over other jets.
Awesome! Been doing a lot of Huey practice lately so this is perfect timing. Is it possible to attack enemy troops while they are waiting for a pick up? Would be fun hunting them down for revenge attacks. Edit: Just saw the news about the F-100! Cold war is the future of DCS!
Really like the ability to leverage the Hind in a new way. Is randomized spawn points for the AI ground feasible? Thereby making recon even more important. Great stuff.
What settings do people use on this server? I have high specs and 32gb of ram but get like 5-10 fps whenever i play on this server with the lowest possible settings. My ram is always at 100% too, which i dont know why thats the case. I do really enjoy this server though, when i do get some times with better fps i love flying around and getting some cool action ingame
I would recommend posting in the discord to get help. We are finding that many people are not optimizing their game in the correct way for multiplayer.
Are there any Streamers on your Server? I would really want to put Campaign Streams on my 2nd Monitor while im working, i love these consistent progress Games like Foxhole, or your Server as another Example.
Yes there are many. Tempest, Tricker, Rossmum, Ryhn0 etc. If you go on twitch and check the DCS game you will find the streamers easily that are playing on the server.
Quick question on the troop recovery mechanics. Will we have to be on the ground or is it similar to picking up a CSAR where we can hover above the troops if they are in a wooded or area we cannot land?
i was playing a few days ago, and i managed to force the enemy into a stall at low altitude, thus getting a maneuver kill, but sadly, there is no way of earning credit for this type of kill. Would it be possible to develop a way to track this sort of thing? i feel like without it, there is a gap for a player who is certainly going to lose, to simply crash their jet, so the "winning" player receives no credit for what would have been a splash.
Not possible based on my current understanding of DCS stats. Very few games have this, the only one that I can think of that ever did this was Aces High

Weather is a really bad change. Especially for those of us that primarily run modules like the frogfoot with no TV/NVG. Now it's unplayable with low bearing clouds or when the sun goes down
3 out of the 7 weather in rotation are more intense, the other 4 are the normal ones. Ultimately the server is jam packed and people are asking for more variety in weather. This will make some modules stronger and weaker which is the intention. The server is simply just too full to keep every module viable 24/7
@@Enigma89 I appreciate the reply. I understand you're balancing inputs from a variety of players and the server is a really unique place to learn and develop the skills for flying in the cold war setting. For night in particular, I do feel like it adds an unreasonable level of difficulty for new players like myself on what was already an already tough challenge. Especially when the Frogfoot/A10 is the primary way for teams to advance, with ground targets being a necessary part of the frontline pushing. It would be nice to have some official guidance on how to incorporate night flying, such as alternate missions, well-lit targets and/or automated recon
Ross needs to chill out in the Discord. Getting really tired of him going on an autistic rampage on some newer player everyday who is just asking a basic question. The though police bs and gatekeeping is cringe and drives newer players away.
If you have complaints, I would recommend putting them in the report area. It is set up in a way where people can make reports safely without having others besides the staff see.
love too hijack a patch video's comments to whine about people i don't like If you'd like to point to where I've been gatekeeping and "driving newer players away" (which I guess I've done mostly by trying to give newer players quick advice to get them up to speed on modules they've just bought or how the server works), I'm all ears. Last I checked, the people I've actually "gone on an autistic rampage on" are players who have been on the server for months, and repeatedly push for unnecessary changes to correct some mythical imbalance that only exists in their heads. Sounds like you just got called out and don't like it, sorry bub. Or maybe you're the guy I went off on earlier because *you* decided to make things personal and got up in my shit simply because I disagreed with something you said, in which case what I said in return now goes double. If you have an actual problem with me and expect the staff to do anything, maybe use the complaints section of the Discord rather than trying to air it out in UA-cam comments. Were you hoping to get a ton of likes and a bandwagon going or something?
Actually new players need to chill out and read the FAQ. Asking, literally every day, why the A4 isn't in the mission, getting a well reasoned response and then attacking Ross because they don't agree with it isn't his fault. Use the report function on the discord if you feel you have a valid complaint. Unfortunately for you Ross is a well respected member of the DCS community at large and no amount of sooking in public is going to generate some sort of popular movement to cancel him.
@@rossmum There you go again with the long winded ranting. You've been warned about being a toxic asshole in the past and you just don't listen. Your ego just can't handle it.

The recon missons are nerve wracking, with deciding if you should recon a few more target areas or run home to deliver the film.
Really really good content, as a Hip - main player I love the ability to finally drop troops at Depots
Yeah the depot raids with big helo flights is going to be really fun. Makes for a big reason to bring mixed flights of gunships and transports.
Really glad to see the new changes, particularly for the Helo scene. Nice work, guys!
Glad you like it!😍
This server ages like fine wine. As a primarily helo pilot I'm super excited for thease updates.
the change in weather helps with every session being a little different
yes it has been a big shift especially for helos. The fog really helps to insulate them
Best server on DCS. I always have a blast no matter what I fly in it. I'm super glad that others do too so that this remains viable.
Thank you for saying that
Is there a possibility that one day there is a second ECW server or a second mission for the late Cold war era i.e. with the Mirage 2000C etc.?
Love your work for the DCS community and your videos. Your quality standards are increasing rapidly and it shows :) keep up the work!
No comment for now outside of you noticing the video quality going up :)
Awesome! Can’t wait to try it. I think some night flying would be really cool. But I can imagine it would be very difficult for most airframes/pilots.
The night mission starts at dusk and ends at night so it should still be viable.
Awesome! Thank you to everyone involved
You bet!
@@Enigma89 Can't wait until 2023 to see what you talented people have cooked up for us
Very exciting. Looking forward to learning some of the Cold War modules I picked up in the last sale on your server.
Happy to hear it and hope you are vibing with it.
This looks awesome! Impressive work. I'm trying to patiently wait for the next ED sale to get the hind so I can join. Watching the complexity of just starting that thing compared to the Apache is mind blowing :)
Yeah I avoided the apache, the juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze. Hind is very fun.

Great video, I will start by saying I love the Cold War server, I bounce back and fourth between the CW server and BF 80's and modern.

If you have complaints, I would recommend putting them in the report area. It is set up in a way where people can make reports safely without having others besides the staff see.
love too hijack a patch video's comments to whine about people i don't like
If you'd like to point to where I've been gatekeeping and "driving newer players away" (which I guess I've done mostly by trying to give newer players quick advice to get them up to speed on modules they've just bought or how the server works), I'm all ears. Last I checked, the people I've actually "gone on an autistic rampage on" are players who have been on the server for months, and repeatedly push for unnecessary changes to correct some mythical imbalance that only exists in their heads. Sounds like you just got called out and don't like it, sorry bub. Or maybe you're the guy I went off on earlier because *you* decided to make things personal and got up in my shit simply because I disagreed with something you said, in which case what I said in return now goes double.
If you have an actual problem with me and expect the staff to do anything, maybe use the complaints section of the Discord rather than trying to air it out in UA-cam comments. Were you hoping to get a ton of likes and a bandwagon going or something?
Actually new players need to chill out and read the FAQ. Asking, literally every day, why the A4 isn't in the mission, getting a well reasoned response and then attacking Ross because they don't agree with it isn't his fault.
Use the report function on the discord if you feel you have a valid complaint. Unfortunately for you Ross is a well respected member of the DCS community at large and no amount of sooking in public is going to generate some sort of popular movement to cancel him.
@@rossmum There you go again with the long winded ranting. You've been warned about being a toxic asshole in the past and you just don't listen. Your ego just can't handle it.
