The Contention Server in DCS is amazing fun. The tl;dr is: Enigma's but slightly more modern and more systems. The long version is too long for one video, but here are the basics of what you need to understand to jump into the server, know what's going on, and help your team towards victory in a massive campaign. I'll be doing more guides in the future, but for those who can't wait, the official FAQ document is here docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1IHq3kj96FwLAwCa3Ef…

I've recently published 3 fantasy novels! Want to support the channel? Consider picking one up!

    Awesome job Jebus! Malakesh here, just wanna say thanks for putting this together!
  • @ACG_Jaydog
    I've been loving this server and my go-to server as of late.
  • This sounds fantastic, and the huge variety of aircrafts, well, basically any and all existing ones is amazing, if it wasn't for this vid I wouldn't have known about it, thanks mate

    I do really like the server. I've been flying the 109 with very good results. It's great for killing Apaches and A10s. Also, capping airfields. I've recently been sucked into U Boat. It's my 1st sub sim ,and a hell of a fun game.

    An amazing server with randomization added to make each campaign unique. Currently all of Redfor's factories for making money are randomly all on the front line. Frustrating, but makes you work harder for all the resources. Great video!
  • @VonHoffnung
    Great guide man thank you for taking the time!
  • @Magicsmoke81
    I have been enjoying Contention, it's got a good balance between features and ease of use.
  • @Colt44444
    Thank you for posting this tired of explaining to people that don’t read the server guide…
  • I was intensely playing the F-14 on this server, but moved to play a bit with the Phantom

    Just started playing this server this weekend. Been using the trainers to attack the FARPs with FAC. One thing I've noticed even being hidden from the EWR, if you don't have a pretty active CAP overhead you will get knocked out pretty quickly. Loving this server so far. Looking forward to more videos showcasing its features, and hope to see you on the server.
  • My whole virtual squadron got so hooked on Contention lately we play it everyday
  • @TheTomster94
    Sounds like this could be a great server to play the Chinook once it's released, with the many logistics options!
  • Thanks for the video! was wondering how this server works. Used the su27 on it for airquake and love that plane
  • @icedragon769
    For some reason i thought that Contention had side locking, so it was off my radar for a while because i didnt want to commit to a side. Definitely going to check it out now
  • @klofisch
    So the F-1 Trainer-Version is not shown on Radar :D
