I've tried different techniques to achieve a more advanced terminal maneuver. For the RBS 15 I implemented a combination of very low altitude on half and jump on half, to make is harder for the CIWS to counter. I've also tried things like setting the GPS error to a high setting which will make the missile turn hard when turning on its seeker. They are all better than nothing, but they're still workarounds.

Haha, thanks! No matter how I do it, it creates confusion.

My incremental download for the US pack is around 5% of the complete pack. I've used GitHub a lot for development, so I'm familiar with its pros and cons. The main issues in this use case is the fact that my DCS asset packs contains 99% textures and model data. I would run into size issues requiring Git LFS, storage space issues and of course usability issues. I get a lot of questions about installing the asset packs as of now, imagine if all users had to sync a repository.

I don't allow redistribution of my assets or files from within them. But you can always use my models by linking to them from other mods. As long as you have my asset packs installed DCS will find the linked model.

The gatling/rotary gun based CIWS can be pretty effective, at single targets. They fire an enormous amount of projectiles in a very short amount of time. A subsonic antiship missile will have to rely on simultaneous attacks, evasive maneuvers and low visibility to avoid being defeated. As I said before, it's a shame we can't implement more types of evasive maneuvers, like snaking. In your example, I assume the NSMs arrived one at a time since the CIWS wouldn't be able to engage multiple targets at once.

Thanks!

Military Asset Pack USA 1.1.2 released! Changelog Version 1.1.2 Changed Constellation NSM to add terminal maneuver Changed HIMARS PrSM AShM to radar seeker and more realistic moving target accuracy Fixed Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyer blue tint glass textures Fixed HEMTT M983 missing desert livery Fixed HIMARS GLSDB missing desert livery Fixed HIMARS PrSM AShM missing desert livery Fixed THAAD AN/TPY-2 missing sound Fixed THAAD AN/TPY-2 missing wheel rotation New update distribution model The Military Asset Pack is 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 1.1.2 and contains only the changed files. You apply it by overwriting your 1.1.0 installation. It also includes the changes in 1.1.1.

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.

Thanks for pointing it out. And don't bother, it's a five seconds fix for me. I've already fixed it.

Strange, I've had AI aircraft engage them many times during testing. 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. Maybe, I didn't think it was important as the launcher is mobile only. 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. 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.

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.

Thanks for reporting issues! FYI, here is the current list of fixes that will be included in the Military Asset Pack USA version 1.1.2 fixpack. MAP USA 1.1.2 - WIP Fixed THAAD AN/TPY-2 missing sound Fixed THAAD AN/TPY-2 missing wheel rotation Fixed HIMARS GLSDB missing desert livery Fixed HIMARS PrSM AShM missing desert livery Fixed HEMTT M983 missing desert livery

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 just sunk a ship at 480 nm, no issues. Send me a simple test mission with the issue and I'll take a look.

Unfortunately it has to go into the DCS core folder, not saved games.

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.

Thanks for noticing, it's the picture that's wrong. Edit: The site has been updated.

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.

RWR and HARM ID 1.4.0 released! Changelog Version 1.4.0 Added Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyer Added Arleigh Burke Flight IIA Destroyer Added Ticonderoga Cruiser Added Ticonderoga CMP Cruiser Added Constellation Frigate Added MIM-140 AN/MPQ-65 HEMTT Added MIM-140 AN/MPQ-65A HEMTT Added MIM-140 LTAMDS HEMTT Added THAAD AN/TPY-2 Removed Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyer AShM Removed Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyer LACM Removed Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyer SAM Removed Ticonderoga CMP Cruiser AShM Removed Ticonderoga CMP Cruiser LACM Removed Ticonderoga CMP Cruiser SAM

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.

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.

Nice! Don't forget that you can add a PAC-3 launcher to the THAAD system also. It'll use the TPY-2 radar. Haha, everything is a competition.
