I think to fix the damage model from missile explosions dcs would need to model proximity fuze way more realistically

You kinda forgot that star citizen had billions of dollars poured into it and they also have the dev team 1000x times bigger than ED. It is definitely possible but a large scale mission involving infantry, planes, helicopters etc would require less spaghetti code

We have been stuck with the same outdated special effect for many years, please update the fires and explosions to a 2024 standard. Same goes with the visual and physical damage model for playable modules and ai units. We constantly get new modules new terrains but the world feels lifeless, dcs core really needs to progress faster.

What are you talking about? DCS ground AI and SAM sites are exceptionally stupid, they don't even have a quarter of the capabilities they have in real life. What do you mean ground units kill you by just looking at you? It's hard to get hit by AAA on purpose let alone by accident. You can not see enemy planes in multiplayer???

Hello everyone, I'm considering starting a mission making service. It would consist of a high detailed, unique mission that would be sent to you via discord everyday with multiple aircraft to choose from on the Caucasus, Syria, or Marianas map. They would range from CAP, CAS, DEAD, SEAD to Deep Strike objectives and much more. If you would like I would also offer the option to make a custom mission for any individual clients. The first week after the launch of my service would be 100% free to see if you are interested and it would also provide extremely important feedback to me on how to improve and adjust the missions to your needs like difficulty level. After that time period there would be a one time payment of 5$ for a constant supply of missions for a month Please leave a comment if you would be interested and don't forget to share this post to others. Thank you f15e

Absolutely agree, a plane for 80$ should have way more in depth modeling of damage and systems. Especially since it's been around half a decade since release. @BIGNEWYAny progress on the DM?

The module has been released for quite some time and the textures are starting to really show their age as well as the damage modeling. This issue has been highlighted numerous times on this forum, please consider improving the textures and the DM. It would add to the immersion if more things where modeled in depth and more system failures where possible.

Finally more people are noticing the poor damage modeling in dcs

I have a mission on Syria and I launch 2 SLAM-ER in TOO mode, it was set to follow waypoint one which was at 28 thousands feet 10 miles away from the target, the missile completely ignored it and began descending earlier, sometimes it even missed the target completely but that was very rare. I'm not near my computer so I can't provide a track however I would appreciate it if someone could test this for me.

First red 4th gen fighter? You forgot about the JF17

They haven't really said anything about the DM getting improved for quite a while and honestly it is quite important compared to other stuff if you ask me

If you ever flown the viper you know how bad the DM is.

Honestly I don't think modelling the engine or other systems to extreme lengths will be necessary for a good DM however it would be nice if we got a simplified model of things where necessary parts are actually modelled

I love the attention to detail in the Jeff in terms of different failures and how they interact with the aircraft however it seems to me like the jet itself is extremely fragile. For example, a single bullet can hit an elevator and the planes fcs systems will fully shut down. I don't think any critical system is inside a single elevator so maybe this is modelled wrong? Also any bullet regardless of the caliber that lands in the general vicinity of the fuselage seems to just kill the engine even if it is not a direct hit to it. Maybe we should be given a chance to restart the engine if the damage is not severe. I think adding a feature like that would improve the immersion and allow for a better experience with the plane.

absolutely agree

A first person animation and sound effect of pulling the ejection handle

If f4e comes with a proper damage model I'm 100% buying

We heard news a few years ago that a proper damage model would be added for jets but still nothing has changed. Is it a low priority task or has it just straight up been canceled?

It would add tons to the immersion and it just looks cool

When your wingtip gets shot off it is automatically on fire and you can't extinguish it unless you land and shut down the aircraft. I could fly for hours while my wing is on fire and nothing would happen. My suggestion is to make it that stopping the wing fuel transfer would extinguish it.

I agree with all the replies however just complaining and ranting will do nothing, I wish there would be another way to let ED know about how this is such a big issue in DCS which they either don't pay attention to or just don't want to do anything about it.

If your right or left wing tip gets shot of all your weapons from that side of your aircraft magically dissapear.

I doubt that they are working on this, all we keep hearing is that they have plans and nothing else meanwhile their resources are directed to other things.

It would be nice if we got a discord like other 3rd party developers. This would allow help to be more accessible as well as it would give us another platform to talk about the Jeff.

We have all these extremely realistic aircraft and helicopters however the SAM sites are extremely arcadey and simple, they don't even have a fraction of the most important features like TWS and repositioning for mobile vehicles. This is an issue that has been plaguing DCS for a number of years and i am tired of this extremely sterile environment I have to fight in. Same goes for electronic warfare but that is a whole other issue in dcs. All we get is the message that there a plans to change it but is it actually on a priority list or is it some plan that is a few years away?
