Can we stop generalizing? - VEAO closed because it wasn't interested in continuing in DCS World (they claimed it wasn't their core business market). - RAZBAM hasn't closed yet, the dispute continues... Coming now to claim that the other 18 third parties and the other 20 campaign creators are going to close tomorrow or in a few years is crazy, especially when this has been going on for 15 years since the launch of DCS World, and honestly, crucifying the work of the other third parties for the ED-RAZBAM dispute is demonic... If someone comes with those arguments, I don't know what they've been doing for the last 50 years, because you only have to look at certain AAA "distributors" who are dedicated to buying studios and closing them... I mean, it's not even 0.1% of what's happening with the dispute... or worse, take a look at Steam or Epic... when a studio closes, it's well known what happens to their games. Someone need remember the forum rules 1.7 No political, social or cultural disputes on the ED forums.

I review the forum, actualy has not a post about a SH-2 Seasprite module (has other claim a AI unit. Has many versions about them: SH-2D Seasprite ASW Patrol Man Rtng: 2.5/1.5 Damage Value: 14 Size/Signature: Small/Small Bombsight: None Sensors: LN-66HP radar, MAD, 15 sonobuoys, SQR-17 sensor link Throttle Setting/Speed in knots Altitude Cruise Full Mil Reheat Low: 115 130 -- Med: 115 140 -- Ceiling: 3160 m Engine Type: TS Cruise Range: 170 nmi Int Fuel: 845 kg Additional Fuel Fuel Wt.

UH-2A/B/C/D Seasprite Utility Man Rtng: 3.0/2.5 Damage Value: 14 Size/Signature: Small/Small Bombsight: None Throttle Setting/Speed in knots Altitude Cruise Full Mil Reheat Low: 125/130 140/145 -- Med: 125/130 140/145 -- Ceiling: 5791 m Engine Type: TS Cruise Range: 195/155 nmi Int Fuel: 845 kg Additional Fuel Fuel Wt. Range Add. 120 USG drop tank 370 kg 120/95 nmi Ordnance Loadouts: Payload: 740 kg Remarks: In Svc: Oct 62 - ? Helicopter. Pre-1962 designation HU2K-1. Was used as general transport between ships as well as SAR mission. UH-2A/B have one single engine (first speed and ranges, est 1200 kg slung load). UH-2C and HH-2D have two engines (second speeds and ranges, 1800 kg slung load). Can carry 4 passengers. We still have the same problem, we are talking about a helicopter focused solely on the ASW environment, and in DCS World there is not even a single Sonar engine... not to mention everything that is missing (I have already repeated myself too much). Will be feasible a UH-2 version, but surely that will be a 3rd Party module.

East Afganistan expansion was launched on late February 2025, 6 months ago, no 8. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/release/2.9.13.6818/

I think it's too early for ED to tell us about new maps, especially with the final Afghanistan expansion and two Iraq expansions still to come. Perhaps we can say that the only map we could expect an announcement on is the next WW2 map, with the release of Marianas WW2, and something tells me that will be a Channel 2.0 map, given the Battle of Britain (Nick Grey's plans for Bob's modules after the F6F Hellcat and WW2 PTO are just around the corner). What modules is ED possibly working on right now? Very possibly (I'd have to check Wags' statements). The only ones are rumors from ORBX, something tells me it's the Baltic map south of the Kola, and the "teaser" for the Balkans map by OnReTech. And of Course the missing 2 expansions of Cold War Germany by UgraMedia. The North Australia map was banised by the 3rd party close.

@OnReTech company has a discord?

Oh my God... what part don't you understand? I also have all the RAZBAM modules and I paid for them... and VEAO, and many others...

You want clarity in a legal process....... And you keep generalizing, many of us don't care about the "drama".

All has "invest" time and money here..... the eternal circle. "Silence or deflection" .... Serious? The same old thing about forcing people to take sides.

Let's remember, being customers doesn't make us shareholders or give us veto power or control. We only buy a product as end users. "The customer is absolutely right" doesn't apply here. All we'll achieve is destroying this simulation, and then the crying will come. It's not a matter of sides here either. Many of us have opinions, and we let ourselves be swayed by a meager portion of information... and we believe ourselves to be judges, juries, and executioners. The day Wags and Nick close the Chiringuito, let's see who says "I'll take charge," because it also seems that everyone (as happens on the internet) is "an expert in everything," and our word is the law, and if not, we'll destroy those who don't think like us... That's why I like to see things from the outside, because these arguments end in the same old thing: nothing. And many believe they have some power over what happens around them.

Searching for information on the weapons loads of American bombers, in this case, the B-52, I found that during the 1960s and 1970s, a chaff rocket pod was added to the mounts currently used for the Litening target designator. This pod was the AN/ALE-25 with ADR-8 Rever rockets. https://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/r-8.html Other systems on the B-52 (Many of them has no applicable): https://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/jetds/an-ala2aln.html AN/AAQ - Airborne Infrared Multipurpose/Special Equipment AN/AAQ-4: Infrared Countermeasures System; manufactured by Hallicrafters; used in B-66, EB-66C/E, B-52, RF-4C AN/AAQ-6: FLIR Electro-Optical Viewing System; manufactured by Hughes; used in B-52G/H.

Why don't we stop dwelling on issues that have nothing to do with the dispute and focus on the facts? It seems that there's a part of the community here who believes that if everything isn't a conspiracy theory or if their point of view isn't correct, they have to invent a new theory every day to keep fueling this post... It's been said repeatedly, even if this reaches 100,000 replies, legal processes are what they are, unless someone one day publishes something "confidential" and finds themselves facing a defamation lawsuit and a letter demanding to appear before a lawyer in court. The problem with "noise" is that it's only created to try to keep said "interference" from fading away and to ensure that some "monolithic points" don't die. This is very tiring and honestly it's a permanent broken record... Honestly, those who defend the "pitchforks and torches" should think very seriously not only about the damage they are doing to the community, but also to the creators, because I wouldn't be surprised at all if many are silent precisely so that said community, if things don't fall within their parameters, will rush to kill with a knife by defaming someone on the networks... this way nobody feels like doing absolutely anything because it seems that we are becoming an authentically toxic community.

There are several British bombs added by ED years ago to WW2, however, because M3 produced a US Navy-specific version. It's important to look at whether that version was used on British aircraft carriers and the modifications and modifications made to the Corsairs to adapt them to British armament. Let's not even talk about aircraft carrier doctrine. It is also important to consider whether there were specific naval bombs / rockets in the FAA that have not been implemented in DCS World, a question that ED would have to address.

I don't think so. There are enough differences between a MiG-23 and a MiG-27 for them to be two different modules. Similarly, ED is making a MiG-29A. If it makes an S or SMT in the future, they will be different modules.
