  • This video is a complement to my post on BMS Forum about the campaign priorities, effects of in-game sliders vs Mission Commander priorities as well as how to minimize the so-called suicidal missions.
    The title page contains a screenshot by luke777 with his amazing new A-6E TRAM model for Falcon BMS 4.37.

    "First Day" Strategy 10:04
    How to edit the Mission Data 30:19
    Final Word on "Suicidal" Missions 39:47
    This video was recorded using Falcon BMS version 4.37 with no mods.
    And, of course, thank you all BMS devs for this amazing new version of Falcon 4 BMS.

    This kind of content is desperately needed. I run a PVE DCS group and recently got into BMS. Thoroughly enjoy the tactical planning. So understanding how it works is key.

    This was actually great that you included comparisons with the speed-up runs! Most tutorials are focusing very much on setup of single flight for player to fly and only partly mention the priority controls. This saved me a lot of time experimenting that I was always lazy to do :)

    Hi @tbuc67, what do you mean "Airstrips are hard coded at 50% (or 60)? Does it mean Airstrips are only targeted if the slider goes above (or below) that threshold or that Airstips are only targeted at a rate equal to half the slider percentage? Thanks for these videos.

    It would be great to apply for the AI similar settings because this leads to the case where AI planes suicidal strikes with stone age planes while the player sets up heavy BARCAP = instawin

    I gave these priorities/targets/Pak values in my campaign a go. To keep it simple I set them as you have shown for the first day strategy, it didn't generate any Sweep missions though : I see SEAD, DCA, QRA, BARCAP, and of course AWACS/Tankers etc. Am I doing something wrong I wonder - Everything is set exactly as you have it for first five hours from Zulu start time. I understand this to be an example of one possible way to establish Air superiority first then, hit airfields, then move onto ground once the air superiority has been more or less achieved and not the only way to go ahead with the campaign priority settings - but I'm not seeing sweeps on my campaign. Has anyone had a similar experience with lack of sweeps cross the FLOT/DMZ with these settings? Or perhaps the creator of this falcon video may have some suggestions with this? Many thanks I enjoyed the video.

      check manual in 4.37.4 and look for ALR.
      Risk of the mission type plays a role since .3 (after my video).

    Hi tbuc, thanks again for your video. A first question about this fantastic world of BMS Dynamic Campaign. When you set the priority map from 0 to 5 on different region...those new priority regions work for the team you join or for all the team partecipating to the campaign? I mean the red side has the old "version" of the priority map and campaign engine for red force use it? Many thanks for your answer.

    • @tbuc76
      @tbuc76  Рік тому

      It affects only the team you have joined. When the campaign starts, each team will have its own initial maps, sliders, etc,....they can be the same, they can be different, depends on how the campaign was created originally.

    Nice, been a years play, and I always can't accept the AI FRAG so I decide that AI will goes war as it is, I do what I like by create an independence Squadron. Watching this, then I know that AI can be more collaborated. Been using the PAK, and slider, but lately using FALCAS MC, still mystery for me, but this video enlights me. Nice, nice... I still use 4.35 tho, the one that's still affordable for me right now.

      @@falconbmstutorials6496 it is, AI in BMS plays good tho. The ground troops especially. You go slow and low, while they have zsu / gopher or simple triple A, just prepared to eject, even at night. No fancy fly in BMS with low alt, always SEAD / DEAD first to make sure at least high potent threat is minimized, then go with strike. This made employment for durandal always puker factor 9.0 😭Have to be around 1k feet so that delay cue dissapear, and pray no gopher waiting there😭 Tho watch the durandal is always tempting, cause the whole it created at the runways.

      Not an IT/BMS expert, but what worked for me was to check my (wide screen curved) monitor's resolution, and then in BMS going to: Setup -> Graphics -> Resolution ...and picking the option that exactly matched with my monitor's native resolution and refresh rate. Hope this helps.
