How active is it in multiplayer
-
Good evening everybody!
My name is Daniel and I just found out about Falcon BMS 4.33. I love the F16 and come to find that it is the only western multirole aircraft fully simulated. I come from DCS and like flying the F15 and A10, as well as the old warbirds. Love multiplayer, which leads me straight to my question. I want really able to find a good answer online, unfortunately, there isnt a good facebook group with lots of ppl out there.
My question is how much is BMS 4.33 actually played online. It seems like it is only a hand full of ppl who are playing….?
Also, when playing multiplayer, it is moslty co-op, correct? No dogfights, etc?Thanks for your answers, and looking forward to talking to all of you
Good night,
Tribun

There are many wings. They will fly month long 24/7 campaigns, one side of wings vs another, from all timezones, on falcon-online.org. Right now Balkans is being finalized and tested for the next one. There are lots of people on there that like to do some pickup dogfights too.

42 verified active squadrons and about 40 not verified for activity yet results to 400 to 800 ppl in minimums add to that 500 to 1000 from falcon online and others. I wouldn’t call that a handful.

the big campaign servers are not the only thing happening in BMS MP
Many squadrons simply do online TE which have much less participants (4-8 humans in coop or against AI) but are much more stable than campaigns event. -
For exapmle we do TE-events with up or more than 20 pilots and Campaign events with actual up to 10 or 12 (normal case 4 - 8)… so there are good options

Thanks for the info guys. That’s great news.
I will start studying…

A good question, that goes slightly beyond, in my mind: what kind of activity is there on Falcon Online, to name it? Only squadron players? Lone wolves gathering and forming flights?
-
Both types squads & lone wolves.
There is quite a large number of wolves.
-
So what exactly do those lone wolves do? Looking for dogfights?
-
That happens on Sinai, but normally if you try to get close enough for BFM you have a bad time.
When I was flying on Falcon Online (bandwidth requirements are higher now, enough that I cant connect any more) I flew often alone, and in a variety of roles. Usually either interdicting vehicles behind the lines, or hunting SA-10s. You can take on AI flights of fighters as a single ship, but you cant really do much against humans who outnumber you and are aware of your presence. So I didnt often do much in the way of air to air as a lone wolf there.

Falcon online. Usually run a 24/7 coop server where you can just hop in any time. Also runs a force vs. Force as well. Down right now as theaters are being revamped for 4331. Hopefully they should be up soon.
