unfortunately in the case of BMS, the ROEs are pretty clear on the subject: enemy = hostile. Flying an enemy aircraft in BMS counts as a hostile act (which is one reason for the lack of test squadrons flying captured jets).

That I understand but you have to somehow correlate the groups location to bullseye and meet group criteria (you might have friendly contacts out there). I assume AWACS in BMS is good enough to do this, right? And if you don’t have a valid dec, then you’re going to get the VID.

Bandit is identified as an enemy.
Hostile is the enemy that has HI or committing a HA.
Not every enemy aircraft needs to be shot down in BMS -
correlation is pretty easy to do with the ridiculous radar resolution in BMS. AWACS in BMS is fantastic for this… as long as the only contact you are interested in is the one you are locking, or the closest enemy.
Regardless what has been said above, the BMS AWACS is even good enough to resolve which contact you are locking and let you know with perfect accuracy whether you are targeting a friendly or not. VID is not warranted in BMS so long as you start your engagement with sufficient range on the line.

Not every enemy aircraft needs to be shot down in BMSThey all have hostile intent in BMS. They are either friendly, or they are not. Much simpler than it could be.
I have tried to set up a training campaign before, you know. I discovered an annoying effect. The air tasking manager ensures that flights are only scheduled with purpose. What that means is that every flight in the campaign has the intent to commit hostile acts. Its not possible to set up the AI to task solely defensive flights, to simulate the actual peninsula air situation realistically.

it is a war after all, i assume that in a war you’d probably have most of your airplanes doing something useful.
if i see a strike package coming laden with bombs towards my nice line of friendly tanks, i don’t think they’re going there to defect (well, that would be pretty damn cool as a feature, but w/e)
i figure they’re probably going to attempt to drop the bombs and i stop them from doing so, either by blowing them apart or by scaring them into jettisoning

In that situation it’s a little different. You’re right in that case. In DCA you’re out to defend something and you set up zones. And when people trespass into those zones your priorities change a little. However, in the zones farther from the point you’re defending you can’t just kill everything.

Hey guys First Post here so sorry if I’m butting in.
I recently in the last two weeks started the sim, I’ve been doing it with a group of guys who have quite a bit of experience, this has been key to my learning and developing my airmanship skills.
Situational awareness of your flight is much easier when you can say “hey 1 this is 2 I’m blind can you see me?”
It just makes life a whole lot easier.
Also I recently bought the Track-hat clip. It cost me 35 quid inclusive of a PS3 eye camera and a monitor clip. This makes my in game situational awareness 150% better. Over the moon with it. I can’t afford a TRACKIR and this is the next best thing.

Flying with humans makes life much easier, generally. You can communicate that with just "2’s Blind’ which is quicker to say

Fantastic thanks, I’m still coming to terms with the terminology.

This is a very interesting thread!

Your not the first person I’ve heard say that having never used TRACK IR I really can’t say but it does bring a whole new level of immersion to the sim.
We managed to do a coordinated attack flying low level Radar silent to a nuclear reactor. Our flight lead disabled the air defences and we took out the reactor.
Had I not had track hat clip I would have been stuffed at trying to stay with the other elements in the flight. Especially as I’ve only been flying in BMS for a week or so. It’s brilliant.
OP I really recommend this budget option. It’s budget but doesn’t feel budget at all. Also join a virtual wing and get online with some guys who really know there stuff. My logic towards it is trial and error it seems to work.
