Also needed are Armenian air bases and terrain. 1178×970 Russian military bases in Armenia : r/azerbaijan reddit.com

We definitely need the export versions of AI planes at least. The MF version of the Flogger would be the only valid one to use for Syria and Iraq.
-
This would be great for an Iran-Iraq war based missions, or a US involvement in the early 90s. But for more modern stuff, ED needs to model units after the 00s.
-
An easy stop gap solution would be for ED to place the IADS and GCI scripts into the triggers for us by default so we can make missions with them without having to spend time learning how to code. Even better would be pre-made missions and campaigns just like in video games.
-
They didn't even do Falklands right (does anyone even still play it?). No Super Etendard, no British Harrier from the 1980s, no Mirage III, no British and Argentine ships from the era, and most importantly, no Exocet missile. But we could at least still do a hypothetical 2nd Cuban missile crisis.
-
Yes, it would be better than the Syria map, but we also need more SAM and ground units from the era (i also don't see that version of the Mig-21 or any of the jets from the era on my end, but I also ran out of room for updates almost a year ago. The Cuba map would also be greatly lacking without the naval assets.
-
Then how did IAF Falcons defeat BVR capable Floggers? It's obsolete against 4th Gen fighters except in BVR. Plus, by the 80s, the F-15, Kfir and others took it's place in a2a role.
-
For the Syria map, Israel is lacking an important resource it had during the 1982 Battle of Bekka Valley. The only BVR capable fighter available to Israel on DCS is the F-15 on Cold War historical mode.

I never make missions that start at night due to them being just terrible. Staring at blackness and not being able to see a hill coming up in front of me makes flying at low level not possible in many places. Watching replays of the mission also are almost useless since I can't see much of what's going on. Being able to select night vision for external views at least would make watching them enjoyable.

These are the Redfor answer to cruise missiles from the NATO side. They were used by Syria during the 80s too, and would add a new way of opening up a mission by attacking runways faster and more instantaneously than an aircraft taking off with Kazoo missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTR-21_Tochka

I would like to see a map of Cuba, Florida and the Gulf Coast modeled. It would be great for a second Cuban Missile Crisis campaign occurring in the late Cold War with the Admiral Kuznetsov, Su-33/27 and Cuban Mig-29s to meet another Bay of Pigs invasion. I think this would be a cooler and more interesting map than Syria as it offers a chance to fly missions involving the USA's borders.
-
This would be great to use for real Cold War mission if we had nukes for it. Or 90s missions if we also had the appropriate AI and FF aircraft for the time such as the upgraded F-15s from the 90s and Su-27SM.
-
how are they adding a plane that's supposed to be classified?
-
Is ED ever going to give us infantry units that can fire anti-tank missiles? This would add a whole new world to mission making. They're also great for insurgents especially if Hamas/PLO were to ever be added for the Syria map.

We need infantry units that work with artillery groups to assist them in targeting moving targets such as armored columns. It would give the artillery units some stealth by being able to fire form behind a hill or building instead of needing LOS on the target.
