I agree.I am very thankful for enjoy this wonderful mod But for example I don't think this is normal. shoot 5 Vikhr to a precious M2A3 IFV and stay intact.
But apart from that thank you CH.What do you mean? I just tested a mission with two of my M2A3 against a Ka-52 with Vikhrs. The Ka-52 stayed outside of the M2A3 range and fired one Vikhr on each and they were destroyed.

This. I agree with this 100%.
By the way, I am considering modifying Arleigh Burke iii's textures so that the windows appear black instead of the blue-ish color you chose. Stay tuned.
Thanks for pointing it out. And don't bother, it's a five seconds fix for me. I've already fixed it.

Hello, I am unable to get AI aircraft to engage in air-2-air combat against the Shahed 136 drones.
I am able to have them engage against other missiles from you such as the chinese cruise missile CJ-10 or also for some reason an F-16 thinks it can take on a ballistic missile at 88k feet asl.
Air defense systems also engage no problem.
I can't find a reason for the aircraft AI not being able to engage. When looking at the database lua files when comparing them I don't notice anything obvious either.Strange, I've had AI aircraft engage them many times during testing.

have you considered adding terminal evasion maneuvers to the NSM? I find that currently it gets totally smacked by CIWS with a 100% pk.
It's a shame we can't add snake maneuvers. I've made the NSM with smaller RCS to emulate its stealth capabilities, but it's not enough against the modern ships with high end AESA radars. I might add a final maneuver as it would be more realistic.
5 hours ago, Jojothebox said:hey CH, is there any chance with THAAD we could see a trailer only radar?
Maybe, I didn't think it was important as the launcher is mobile only.
5 hours ago, Hairdo1-1 said:So please don't take this as a complaint as I love CHs mods. However in the world of DCS they seem really overpowered. (They might be accurate to IRL counterpart) How does everyone use them as they are pretty much impossible to defeat.
You are completely correct, most of my assets emulate the latest and greatest in military hardware. It would be rather strange if they didn't outclass the older stuff in DCS core. Make sure to set their skill level to low, and don't believe a single flight would take out a modern SAM system. You need good tactics, decoys and numbers.
3 hours ago, PAW said:Personally, I would like to see these military asset packs integrated into DCS World instead of bringing them as a mod. Many don't use mods simply on servers that many visit/open, don't use mods and are therefore useless. Nobody sees anything about the mods. It's a great thing that there's something new about mods - it's just pointless/nonsense if you don't have them on a server/don't use them! It's nice on its own, but it doesn't really do anything to have it! It's like Arma3: endless mods, many are no good and many don't work!
Well, a lot of DCS users run single player missions only. Besides that, it's not much we can do about it. It's either this or we don't have the assets at all.
I sure do have a lot of fun running different scenarios with a lot of my assets involved.

Hey CH, I jus wanted to say I am currently observing a 0% hit rate for HHQ-9B's being fired at PrSM missiles. These are being launched from both Type 055 and Type 052D ships. The HHQ-9's try to loft up and over the PrSM's but when thry dive down the PrSM go too fast and they go behind the missiles. After one salvo they refuse to fire again at them. This is VS a salvo of about 10 PrSM missiles.
I did some testing and I agree. The flight profile of the HHQ-9 doesn't work very well against the PrSM. I will make a note of it for the next update.

@currenthill Hi CH, I noticed a small problem with THAAD Radar Trailer Wheeles that don't rotate. This may be an issue on my end but I thought that you may want to know! It's no big problem or anything, I just wanted you to know! Thanks again for all the new assets, they are truly amazing!
One last question, will you make Desert Liveries for the LAV Anti-Air System, the Puma, HIMARS and the Marder?
Thanks in advance,
Timex 3
Thanks, I was sure I had fixed the wheel issue. But it seems I only fixed one side.
The LAV-AD is already available in desert. The HIMARS also comes with desert liveries. But there seem to be an issue with it on the GLSDB and PrSM AShM versions. All the others have working desert liveries.-

Thanks! I see the issue, it's the target type. In order to make my DF-21 reasonable accurate in regards to precision I had to be inventive. It uses radar homing, and your target ship doesn't have a radar. If I had used the standard GPS tracking it would be 0 millimeter accurate, which wouldn't be very realistic.

Military Asset Pack USA 1.1.1 released!
Changelog Version 1.1.1- Fixed Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyer missing glass textures
New update distribution model
I'm trying something new with this update. It's available in two versions:
- The standard full download (for users who haven't downloaded the 1.1.0 version yet and of course want the fixed version).
- The incremental download which updates 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and contains only the changed files. You apply it by overwriting your 1.1.0 installation.
My plan is to release fixes (the last digit in the version number) this way going forward. To avoid unnecessary download, but still being able to fix annoying issues.

I've noticed the missle launch from DF21 soonly explode in mid-air
I just sunk a ship at 480 nm, no issues.
Send me a simple test mission with the issue and I'll take a look.

Hello @currenthill, RWR mod never worked for me. All new systems are showed as "U" in all RWRs.
Installation path for the RWR mod:
"C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\".
Unfortunately it has to go into the DCS core folder, not saved games.

Hi CH! Does this update to the RWR add support for the F-15E TEWS?
Thank you!
Unfortunately I don't have the F-15E Strike Eagle module, so I don't know how it operates, nor can I test it.

I've added a weapon ranges table for each of the new/changed ships.

Something graphical I noticed with the Burke Blk III was the windows don't appear to be textured. Just plain grey across the command deck.
Thank you for the fantastic mod and the work put into it.
Thanks, I've fixed it internally! It seems inevitable that some of these slip through. Well, we'll see if other things pop up the next couple of days and I'll release fixed version.

I don't think any helicopters can be made to do the AWACS missions (AEW) in DCS. I was able to convert a few planes to the AEW role but Helicopters were a no go. I'm not sure if this is because there is no AWACS mission type for helicopters in ME or because there is no AWACS attribute for helos. Or both. But AEW helicopters should be added to the DCS wish list at some point. There are now many nice Carrier mods that do use AEW helicopter in real life so it would be nice to have that in game
Agree. I did a lot of testing in regards to this a while ago. But unfortunately I couldn't find a way to make a helicopter with AWACS attributes in DCS.

@currenthill I would like to leave here a small feedback, to be taken in a constructive way. Assets like different variants of the same base unit, like Ticonderoga, Arleigh Burke, etc, are requiring a huge amount of work and testing. Also they are making more sense only for those people that had strong knowledges in military technology, which I am not one of them :). I think there are more like me as well. For me would be just slightly confusing to see them in ME and to choose which one to use. I will tend to use the one which might appear as a later variant and that it
, without really bothering to understand the difference .
So, I think might be a bit more efficient to choose just one variant to release and use the remaining time for other goodies !
Thank you for your dedication CH ! You are like no other !
I mostly make one version of my assets, but in the rare cases I make exceptions. For example when an asset have very different weapons, like the HIMARS, and there is no way of controlling it efficiently without having multiple different assets. Or in the case of the Arleigh Burke, where the ship in itself is such a centerpiece of the US Navy, and has been for such a long time (unlike other ships like the Chinese Type 055 which is very new). In this case I wanted to make both an older and a newer versions for users to be able to play out different era scenarios. Only having the Flight III with every new and shiny weapon would easily become very anachronistic in scenarios taking place before yesterday.
Continuing with the Arleigh Burke example, there is something in there for everyone. If you just want to play with the new toys, use the Flight III with the radar seeker missiles and new TLAM with antiship capability. But if your scenario takes place 5-10 years ago (or earlier), use the IIA with the semi-active missiles guided by the fire control radars and its limitations with the number of simultaneous targets etc.

Look at this beauty! Thank you a lot Currenthill!
Nice! Don't forget that you can add a PAC-3 launcher to the THAAD system also. It'll use the TPY-2 radar.

My OVGME doesn't recognize the heaviests packs (USA, Sweden, Russia and China). Have any of you this problem? I have to manually install them. Thanks @currenthill for the models.
Yep, OvGME seem to be unable to handle larger zips. Haven't found a way around this yet. So the heavy zip will need unzipping. I guess the best workaround for the time being would be another module manager. But I really like OvGME, so I stick with it despite this issue.

Wow, 60 new assets in the upcoming release of the US Pack. I honestly can't wait to see what CH has created!!
Timex 3
No, there are around 60 assets in total in the US pack.
With every update I have to go through and test all the assets to make sure they work as intended. Also, more or less every asset get some sort of change with every update. No matter how small the change is, I have to perform the tests. Because in DCS, a single comma at the wrong place will ruin your day.

How are you doing with the new pack? It seems like there were really a lot of bugs caught before release!)
I think sometimes it's hard to grasp the amount of time any form of (even basic) testing takes. The US pack contains around 60 different assets, imagine performing 10 tests per asset. That's 600 tests.
There's also a lot of work involving the release, everything from cleaning up the folders, removing redundant files to creating the loadout spec sheets and updating the web.
That said, we're almost there now. The testers received a RC1 of the US update yesterday. If nothing major has broken I'm releasing it very soon.
