Supernova-III

Given that the Harrier is: the attack aircraft in its primary role close a2a capable SEAD/DEAD capable still the iron bomber fast and subsonic I can conclude, that the Su-25T is the closest aircraft according to these points. Removed SEAD/DEAD, Su-25 is next. No other attack plane (in its primary role) combines the speed and wide armament nomenclature. But if we are talking about the vibe, Su-25T has a different one. And is Su-25 is another different thing.

auth server restart? So it can kick you in the middle of the mission any time?

Dear ED, I just was thrown out of my mission with this message: What was that?

yeah, maybe not lower than fixing L-39, but yes

Yep But I am pretty sure that ED knows about toe breaks regardless of our proofs

here and there...

Here's my proof (timestamp): @WORLD, please stop saying it doesn't have toe brakes.

AFAIK, there is no documented way to set aerobatic task for AI in mission script. I'd like to request to provide us this possibility.

oh yes. Once they release G.91, they will start working on another one... Thus not having resources to support G.91, and MB-339

nope. Senaki-Kolkhi, 998.5 hPa. Reports this:

pinned this to the topic, to not loose

@MiG21bisFishbedL thank you for your comprehensive review!

hm, narrowing field of view helps

oh, really. I just didn't know. Will add it later!

well, it's not that simple. Actually, I like planes that do their mission. But flying a slow fixed-wing aircraft particularly in DCS is a bit breaking of immersion for me. I'm suffering from lack of sensation of speed in DCS, mostly because of its graphics. So flying something slow like A-10 makes me feeling that I fly helicopter. Flying a helicopter makes me feeling that I fly a hot air balloon. And so on. Same speed values feel different, say, in MSFS.

added to the post. Actually, should "slow" be considered as a weakness in light attack/cas/coin scenario? It seems rather the opposite. The ability to fly slow is rather a feature.

Hm, I probably should include this one. What about its flight model? You mean incendiary bombs? As I mentioned earlier, C-101 has one type of such kind of bombs. UPD: not really valid, probably didn't know that, thank you. Is this because this is prohibited weapon or something like this?

let's try

it actually has one: if you mean its flying characteristics, it's more performant than A-29

well, I am focused on those 3 I mentioned in the post. We don't have anything else in DCS that can be considered a light aircraft. I would really love to see A-29 some day, but you know...

sure, but shorter answer would be appreciate as well

probably I misunderstand, what light attack version is supposed to do. Is it just for training or real combat employment possible.

Thank you! Added your input to the post

Let's consider some light attack aircraft and see how they fit light attack aircraft role, say, counter-insurgency mission. I want to understand, in which scenario which aircraft can be used in DCS. MB-339 Pros Wide nomenclature of air-to-surface armament Rich nav equipment Cons No radar altimeter, which is bad for low level mission No air-to-air rockets, but who needs it anyway in counter-insurgency scenario? But who knows... No flares Bad support in DCS, almost six month now without updates C-101 Pros Excellent nav equipment Has radar altimeter, which is helpful in low-level missions Good air-to-surface nomenclature, MB-339 is better though (?) Has aim-9 for self-defense, but who needs it in counter-insurgency scenarios? Well... Good support in DCS, regular updates Cons Not so high in G, but not critical, as it's slower No flares L-39ZA Pros (help me here) @MiG21bisFishbedL input Carries R-60 and R-13 air-to-air missiles PK-3 gunpods GSh-23L Cons Worse nav No countermeasures But L-39 has known real combat employment in multiple conflicts OV-10 Bronco Pros COIN-native machine Carries wide variety of weapons, both a2g and a2a Cons ? A-4 Skyhawk Pros Rich operational history in role of light attack aircraft Carrier-capable Radar Countermeasures Wide variety of a2g and a2a weapons Cons ?
