Great video, you have a really wonderful way of explaining processes on ECW server. I'm getting back into it now as I had no idea of how this credit system worked! I don't own any of the modules for credit purchases but now I know I can donate ... thats very different.
Yeah. Running joke just now is that Enigma makes my videos out of date within a week of them coming out. Happened with the CAS guide and the Shop guide so far 😄
Tried the server a few times, it’s nothing but red CAP farming A-10’s. The Red fighters outweigh the Bulefor and you can hardly get off the base before being jumped. It is fun when you can get in a mission but most of the time it’s unplayable if you are trying to ground attack. Lots of potential but it’s too unbalanced most of the time. Just my thoughts
Server can be very imbalanced at times, and I do wish there was some sort of insentive against piling on one side. It does vary depending on the time of day. Ground attack is much easier when it's quiet, much harder during peak times. Only other suggestion is find folk to fly with. A few coordinated players in A10 can really hurt enemy CAP
The A-10 can definitely fight back hard, if you fly super low, the jets cant jet a good shot at you, A-10 has a very small heat signature and a ton of flares. Additionally you can out turn pretty much everything and it has the maverick missiles which are fire and forget long range missiles. Very OP and can be used to take out SAMs or even helicopters.
Every other plane on the server? On blue that's: F86 Saber, Viggen, F5, A10, A4, Huey, Gazelle. On red: Mig-15, Mig-19, Mig-21, Su-25, Mirage F-1 CE, Hind, Hip. Probably something I'm forgetting but that's most of them at least
It currently rotates between Caucasus (free) and Syria (paid). But when the F-4 launches, they are planning on also adding Persian Gulf. So if you just have Cauc, then you can play about every other week right now. Ideally Syria and PG if you want to ensure you can play anytime
Too bad that the tomcat is the only module that I have and is allowed on that server... The only thing I can do is use the A4 which is not a fun module to fly imo and even if I push myself to fly that thing, I need to destroy 50 ground units with it to be able to spawn the tomcat which is also handicaped by the server... GG
@@iPerso576 if they're merged, then I'm not sure why they wouldn't be showing. Sometimes takes a couple of refreshes to make sure it's detected. If you're getting the other major servers in your list such as Growling Sidewinders, then it should be there. During the weekend, it will be near the top of the active players ordering
Thx for the tutorials man. Cant keep the community alive without bringing new people and teaching them the first steps. Cheers!!

get ready to remake this guide when the new ecw updates comes and more ways to spend credits will arrive!

Solid overview, I've been away for a while, but I'll be back on the server soon.
No i appreciate this cleared a bunch of things up

@@linecraftman3907 this absolutely. Love the A10. May have a video coming out next week showing how well the A10 can provide its own CAP XD
@@Dr_Jebus yep, thats why it is such a high priority target for red CAP
I feel bad when I kill an A10. I wonder if they've flown a long way just to get shot down as soon as they see me
Great videos as always. Can you do a tutorial for finding ground targets on Tempest Blue Flash too?
Can do! Need to spend more time on TBF in general
Has spotting been made any easier yet? I really don't wanna have to lower my resolution!
Spotting in 2.9 is much better for 4k resolution, maybe a bit better at 1440p, worse at 1080p
Perfect thanks mate. @@Dr_Jebus
Isn't the F1EE 35 credits?
I might be wrong
Maybe? It was 30 when I was initially putting the video together but it may well have been recently changed
Csar give points?
Yes. You need to deposit the pilots back, but you get credits for them now
@@Dr_Jebus How many credits? Thanks for the awesome videos!
@@loganjones5461 one credit per fully rescued/captured pilot I believe
so what are some of the aircraft that dont need points?

So. Why no Ka-50 reward for chopper guys?
Ask Enigma, but I think it's because both the apache and Ka-50 are too modern for either the 60s or 70s settings
@@Dr_Jebus The Apache was on the server today😝
@@shadowfax9861 as an April fools event. It'll be gone in a week
what maps do I need to purchase for the sever?

wheres the stats i dont see it?
Scroll right to the bottom of Enigma's discord, stats is one of the last channels there
phewwwww no Bombers.....?!?!?! We need bombers.... Thanks for thr Video
Yeah, bombers used to badly lag the server when they dropped. Would love to see them make a return

i dont see the server on the server list 🥲
Are you running the Open Beta?
@@Dr_Jebus as far as i know, the open beta and the stable release are merged, but no, im running DCS World - Steam Edition

@@iPerso576 There is only one server. It rotates between Syria and Caucusus each time a campaign ends.
