I I am thinking landing craft, which can embark and disembark to landing ships like Ropucha (we need western ones as well as Ropucha). So you can have landing craft disembark a ship - sail to the coast and tanks drive off the landing craft.

Far from perfect, however you can get 33 mile launches. I used fire at max range, continous radar and the search and engage unit task. Not sure which if these give the range in crease (probably fire at max range).

It would be amazing if we could have vehicles embark to landing craft and landing craft embark to assault ships....along with disembarkation of course. This would allow some pretty epic missions.

Yeah - pieces of metal can do a long way. But at 20 metres your unlikely to be killed. At 200m there will be zero change of being killed...and a fairly low chance that a stray frag hitting you ...and if it did, you'd get a nasty cut..,or even blinded if it hit your eye. So yeah - absolutely hide when within 200metres...but that's very different to killing every living thing within 20m

The new fuzing (and skins) is only enabled on single racks not dual racks and by default the single racks open after 1.2 seconds....dual racks dont open so quickly. The OP fuzing doesnt work on the Harrier..I guess that would need Razbam to implement...but am not sure. You can fix this by using the "copy to pylons with the same weapons"....but surely they should default to the same. Rockeye Broken1.trk

500lb bombs dont kill everyone within 300m. End of argument

The problem is that CAS missions are no longer possible. You cannot drop a bomb anywhere near friendly troops they have to be well outside of their firing range. It's ridiculous.

Not sure you have much to worry about from a grenade at 20metres

The new damage is ridiculous and has destoyed the ability to do CAS missions as bombs now kill friendlies 300+ metres away..meaning it's difficult go get troops close enough to fire...and be safe from friendly bombs....and you now blow yourself up when dropping retarded bombs at altitudes from which you should be safe. Nonsense. The lethal radius to a person for a 500lb bomb is about 20 metres.....in DCS it's now over 300 metres! The entire DCS damage modelling needs to be redone as it's an utter joke.

HARM seems to be able to see targets even when at the side of it. It should not have such a wide FOV LastMissionTrack.trk

Im afraid this isn't working properly. If you fire one round then adjust fire, you are stuck firing one round at a time unless you end the mission and start over.

Destroying bridges does not stop vehicles. Trains sail across and vehicles climb down the embankment and run across the water. Pretty sure no trains are ever effected. Some vehicles "might" get stopped...however in temp7 I manually drove the vehicle and it got stuck half way and died..but the AI managed ok. temp6.trk temp7.trk

Still not fixed 5 years later

GBU-16s are killing infantry over 800 metres away, trucks at 120 metres and a BTR-80 at 85 metres. LastMissionTrack.trk

Track file of the AI dropping off an L118. I tried the default weight as well as minimum and very high temp4.trk

Also the AI cannot drop it off - it just bounces and disappears

As soon as you pick it up it jumps into the air and hits the helo LastMissionTrack.trk

Not sure that the speed wall issue is....but I am guessing that any given object in DCS has a maximum speed which is lower than it needs to be?

When doing a pinpoint strike using LGBs the bombs don't hit the exact map location defined in the editor. I tested with the F117 and F18. As pinpoint strike is the only option for the F117 it renders the aircraft virtually useless. Pinpoint Strike.trk

Thank you!!!!! Perfect timing indeed

The Hawk is seemingly unable to shoot down a bomber flying at 35k ft flying straight and level. hawk.trk

Hi. I am trying and failing to set up my stream deck such that I can press a stream deck button to arm a pylon and have the status light report back to show if that pylon is selected or not. Does anyone know what the correct Button ID, Device ID and DCS ID are?

The SA15 has a ceiling of 20-26kft which if left to the AI is about correct, however if player controlled it can get a lock on and hit targets which don't even appear on radar at over 42,000ft!!! The same may well be true of other systems such as SA-8 but have not tested those. In this test the target is at 45,000 but firing from 1500ft. sa15.trk

Why would you need a track file when you can just set up a Humvee with a 50 cal and shoot a BMP3 and getting damage vs shooting a 30mm warrior and getting no damage.

The 25mm and 30mm guns on the Warrior Bradley and LAV-25 seem hugely underpowered. They cannot damage a BMP 3 (which also seem to be over armoured) even from the rear. Whilst a number of much smaller calibre weapons can.
