This would be very cool on the Sinai map to recreate the Egyptian crossing of 1973

Hi CH, I love your work, I was just wondering if you would consider creating some cold war assets by any chance? With the phantom right around the corner there isn't to many ground assets from the era in the base game to use as targets. I have a list of suggestions for both red and blue sides. This is just what I could think of off the top of my head. Blue for: M60/M48/M47 Patton Tanks M1 Abrams(105 version) Challenger 1 AMX-30 Centurion(Upgraded version with the 105) Leopard 1 M114/M102 Towed Howitzers M107 SPG Older versions of the Stinger or Redeye MANPADS Infantry operated ATGMs and anti tank rockets: TOW, Milan, HOT, M72 LAW rocket Cold war era infantry equipped with M16s, FALs, G3s Red for: T72A/T72M tank versions Improved looking T-55? T-64 tank T-62 tank Soviet towed artillery guns: D-30, D-20, M-46 APCs: BTR-60, BTR-50, BTR 40 Strella 2 MANPADS Infantry operated anti tank weapons 9M14 Malyutka AT-3, 9M113 Konkurs AT-5, 9K111 Fagot AT-4, RPG-29 Towed Anti tank guns: BS-3, T-12 Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to make this game better

The Shrike will still track if you shoot it at the P19 flat face radar. I suspect this issue has something to do with them developing the Shrike for the phantom.

Hi Current hill I love your work. Id just like to put in a suggestion for a new asset. I think it would be really cool if you could do a shore launched Exocet anti ship missile battery and even better yet possibly have an Exocet equipped AI Mirage F1/2000? This could allow for multiple different unique scenarios as the Exocet is used by many nations all around the globe and is probably one of the most iconic well known anti ship missiles out there. Serving in the Iran-Iraq war/tanker war and the Falkland's war.

Its up to you, but honestly I would be more then happy even if there was a crew and they were just static holding some shells or something. Or even no crew where we could just put down some infantry next to the guns. Its just that in DCS we literally have zero towed howitzers and only SPGs (excluding ww2 assets pack). Either way your mods are great and keep up the great work! Edit: Another idea I just thought of: I'm not sure how difficult it is, but if you had a howitzer that could hook up to a truck or something to tow it that would be really cool

I love your work and the great mods you put out I just have a suggestion. One area in DCS that is non existent is towed howitzers. I would like to suggest something like a static M777 howitzer and something similar for the Red forces side as well. Any older cold war era howitzers would also be much appreciated. Keep up the great work!

The Buildings in the Industrial areas on Cyprus are missing from the map. On the satellite view you can see where the buildings should be, but on Alt map they are not present and they are not there in the actual game it self. I have only noticed that they are missing on Cyprus. They are present in Syria and on the rest of the map from what I can see. nullnullnull

Next update will probably be a red kite video on air to ground or air to air

The video is the interview they did back in October link here:

I wonder if we will be getting a video a week

For those wondering about the radar of the Mirage F1 there is a comment by Aerges on the red kite cold start video

A very interesting picture from the Syria update in the news letter

Have you watched the October 23rd interview?

No they primarily do announcements on Facebook and put videos on YouTube

I don't think all the versions in game we are getting have the Cyrano IVM just the F1M will have this system from what I have read online. The CE BE and EE all just have the Cyrano IV.

I have a book which talks about the F-1EQs which have the Cyrano IVQ/C 'Ramadan' radar which I am not sure how similar it is the to the Cyrano IV, but according to this book I have called "Iraqi Mirages in Combat" By Miguel Garcia it could look down -4 degrees at 4,000ft and -32 degrees at 25,000

Does the Mirage F1 have IFF interrogation for its radar? I am not sure and am not able to find any information for it.

I have not been able to find this anywhere, but does anyone know the G limits of the Mirage F1?

I actually have a book by Miguel Garcia called Iraqi Mirages in combat it is about the history of the Mirage F1 in Iraqi service and yes they did fight phantoms actually have a list of all the kills so here we go. December 2nd 1982 2 F-4Es were downed by a Mirage F1 using the Super-530F, Jan 27th 1982 Rf-4E was shot down by a Mirage F1 using a super-530F, May 2nd 1982 F-4E was downed my a Mirage F1 using the Super530F, May 6th a F-4E was shot down by a Mirage F1 using a Super 530F, 16th July 1982 a F-4 was shot down with a Super-530F, Jan 27th 1983 a Rf-4e was shot down with a super-530F, 21st of July 1983 a F-4E was shot down with a super-530F, December 29th 1984 a F-4 phantom was shot down with a Super-530F, on the 24th of April a phantom was lost to a Mirage with the R.550 Magic 1, On July 19th another phantom was lost to a R.550 magic 1 from a Mirage. According to the book no Mirage F1s died to F-4 phantoms this was likely due to their good ECM according to the testimony of an Iranian phantom pilot they were unable to maintain lock on a Mirage for more then 3 seconds before the lock was broken.

I was just going off of what steam said

C-101 was released February 2019 one of the trailers was released December 16th 2018

I dont think we will get the Exocet on the initial version. I bet the F1M version will have it as its radar had the naval capabilities.

Well with the Phantom announcement and hopefully this year I think phantom vs Mirage F1 on enigmas cold war server will be a very good dual I am looking forward to both modules as cold war modules are not very prevalent in DCS.

I wonder if they just picked up the project from the former Blisteck. Because they were also developing an F-4E and had a decent amount of progress done before they merged with ED and I imagine they would not want all that work to go to waste.
