DCS: Roadmap (unofficial - NO DISCUSSION HERE)

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.
-
It has already been said actively and passively, ED is not going to put a subscription system because it is not its business model, and because a subscription would only cover a tiny part of the development (in itself, there is not enough community, this is not WoW or PlayStation Plus with millions of affiliates).... even so, those same services, their main market is sales and they need to sell "physical" products to sustain themselves, which is what ED and the 3rd Parties are doing.
-
We're back to the same thing... "balance" is what's wanted when no war has any balance. Just look at WW2... if we look at the Axis planes versus the Allies, it's uneven. The same thing happens if someone wants a Korean or Vietnam scenario... MP servers will start putting equipment outside that era just to maintain "balance," so that's not the ED problem. And about the F-35, same as always. It's not ED's fault that certain governments can put you in jail for trying to make certain aircraft "red." ED and certain third parties are already very careful about what is and isn't done in DCS World.

The main gun used on the Samuel L Chase (Arthur Middleton-class attack transport) carry 4x 3"/50 (7.62 cm) Mark 22 and a 1x Mk22 3in/50 The problem with DCS is that there seems to be a "standard" shell for all of them, with an anti-aircraft function that doesn't fit with reality. On fact, the SLC has only a bar with 40mm cannon ammunition The 3"/50 (7.62 cm) Mark 22 has that ammunion: AP Mark 29 Mods 1 and 2 HC Mark 27 Mod 1 1 AA Mark 23 Mods 1 and 3 1 AA Mark 27 Mods 1 and 4 1 AA VT Mark 31 Mod 1 Illum Mark 21 Mods 1 and 3 Illum Mark 24 Mod 1 Illum Mark 25 Mod 1 About AA ammo: The AA Mark 23 and its associated Cartridge Case Mark 3 were considered to be obsolete by the end of World War II. HC Mark 27 and AA Mark 27 were the same projectiles but assembled with different fuzes. These 3" (7.62 cm) HC rounds were unique in that they were the only ones of that type issued by the USN that did not have a base fuze in addition to a nose fuze. Mk22 3in/50 ammunition: AAC Mark 34 Mod 10 AAC Mark 35 Mods 1 to 12 AAC Mark 47 Mods 0 and 1 AAC Mark 49 AAC Mark 52 AAC Mark 56 Common Mark 32 Mods 1 to 4 AAVT Mark 31 Mods 1 to 11 Special Common Mark 38 Mods 1, 2 and 3 Special Common Mark 46 Mods 1 and 2 RAP Mark 57 2a Illum 3a Marks 27, 30, 44 and 45 WP Mark 46 Chaff Mark 78 Projectile Description: Special Common had a windscreen with a thin hood and the body was strengthened to enhance its armor piercing qualities. Postwar, some Special Common were given a dye bag for spotting. Available colors were blue, green, orange and red. Common Mark 32 had a windshield but no cap. AAC Mark 35 and Mark 49 projectile bodies could be used with Point Detonating (PD), Mechanical Time (MT) or with proximity (VT) nose fuzes. When issued with MT or VT fuzes they were considered as being AA rounds, but when issued with PD fuzes, they were considered to be HC rounds. Changing the fuze also resulted in slight changes in the total projectile weight and burster weight. For example, the Mark 35 with a PD fuze weighed 54.3 lbs. (24.63 kg) total with a 7.55 lbs. (3.42 kg) burster. Controlled Variable Time (CVT) fuzes were introduced post-war. AAC Mark 35 could also be issued as B.L.&P. or as B.L.&T. for target practice. Projectiles that used MT or PD nose fuzes had an instantaneous contact type base fuze while a blind plug was used in place of the base fuze for those projectiles using VT nose fuzes. The AAC Mark 47 was designed as a heavier projectile using new, lighter weight fuzes so as to maintain the same overall projectile weight. However, the fuzes never appeared, so only a few thousand of the Mark 47 projectiles were manufactured. Window and White Phosphorous (WP) rounds were available, many as special Mods of the Illumination Mark 30, Mark 44 and Mark 45 projectile bodies. Chaff rounds were available for jamming different radar types. Chaff Load Mark 15 was for X-band while Chaff Load Mark 21 was intended for S-band. Chaff projectiles used a MT nose fuze that triggered a small ejection charge and the loads were dispensed through the base of the projectile. About ammunition: Outfits listed are the design figures. Pre-war destroyers normally carried about 100 to 150 rounds per gun plus 100 - 120 illumination rounds per ship with the balance carried in magazines on Destroyer Tenders (AD). After 1940, outfits for most destroyers were increased to the design figure plus about 200 illumination rounds per ship. As the war went on, ammunition stowage on new designs was increased where possible. Some examples: Late war Fletcher (DD-445) class carried 525 rounds per gun in magazines plus 50 ready rounds per gun (these totals may include illumination rounds). The A.M. Sumner (DD-692) class carried 352 rounds per gun in magazines plus 50 ready rounds per gun. The A.M. Sumner class also carried 292 illumination rounds per ship in magazines plus 48 ready illumination rounds per ship. This was same capacity for the Gearing (DD-720) and Robert H. Smith (DM-23) classes. This large increase in ammunition weight over the design figures resulted in destroyers losing two to four knots in maximum speed from the design specifications. However, the stowage for pre-war destroyers could not be so greatly increased. For example, the Farragut class destroyer USS Aylwin (DD-355) had about 250 rounds per gun in magazines plus 50 ready rounds per gun in 1944. The rebuilt USS Selfridge (DD-357), which had traded her eight SP guns for five DP guns after receiving torpedo damage in 1943, carried about 43 ready rounds per gun and 260 rounds per gun in magazines. She also carried 22 ready illumination rounds per gun and 85 illumination rounds in magazines. By 1945, the new battleships in their magazines carried 500 rounds per gun, primarily AA Common and AA VT, plus 40 special types per gun. In addition, they had 55 ready rounds per gun. The older battleships that had replaced their mixed secondary batteries with a uniform battery of 5"/38 (12.7 cm) guns were able to store roughly the same number of rounds of ammunition as they had for the older guns. For example, USS Nevada (BB-36) during the Normandy operations in 1944 carried an outfit of 7,426 AA Common rounds (equivalent to 464 rounds per gun) vs. 4,830 5"/51 (12.7 cm) rounds and 2,400 5"/25 (12.7 cm) rounds. Ready rounds for all ships with base ring mounts were stored in the upper handling rooms which were located directly beneath each mount. Ships with pedestal-mounted guns had their ready rounds in splinter-proof boxes located near the guns. Outfits for most ships during the early part of World War II consisted primarily of AA Common plus illumination rounds. As noted above, changing the nose fuze type allowed these rounds to be used as AAC or as HC. The Porter (DD-356) and Somers (DD-381) classes as originally built with SP guns carried mostly Common rounds, but they did carry a few AA Common rounds which were intended for use against torpedo bombers and other low-flying planes. Starting in late 1942, AA VT projectiles were introduced and became increasingly available as the war went on. By the middle of 1944, most front-line ships had about three AA VT rounds for every one AA Common round. The usual practice was to fire this ratio at attacking aircraft. The smoke puffs created by the time-fuzed AA Common rounds allowed the fire control officers to assess and correct the accuracy of the firing control solution and also provided target guidance for the gun crews of the shorter-ranged 40 mm and 20 mm AA guns. VT fuzing reduced roughly in half the number of rounds fired per aircraft shot down. A notable success with VT ammunition was that of USS Abercrombie (DE-343) which shot down a Ohka (Baka) rocket glider bomb in May 1945, firing only two rounds.

Catalina has "claimed" to make to the PTO assets pack. I expected ED build some funtionality on land on sea and lakes and DC vs Sub/Ships. Not bad if someone build them as a pilotable module.

The stament has the shame of the F-15C module (I think they has copy/paste them). Honestly, I don't even dream of ED being able to "start" development of the F-35 in 2025. Rather, they'll probably start (if they can) in 2026 or 2027, so they can wait 2 or 3 years until they start (unless someone wants another "disaster" like the F-16 launch). There's still a lot to do on the F-16C/F/A-18C and other modules, so they can focus on a single module, let alone what will remain to be done on the Mig-29A/F-15C, etc, unless we get a surprise and they tell us there's a new team of people dedicated exclusively to it or a significant increase in ED's modern modules staff. It's simply a wait-and-see approach, and much less forget about "promises," since it's only a plan. Regarding the release of a Eurofighter, as long as HB and ED don't confirm a launch... I'm putting it at the beginning or middle of next year at the earliest. In itself, let's take into account his latest statement on Discord.

Through modding, you've been able to do all of this for nearly 10 years, so it's no surprise. The problem is that ED won't accept it because it lacks the necessary open-source information to implement it for modern naval guns (there was already a discussion about it on the Russian forum). For the time being, I wouldn't expect any progress until there's an official announcement.

C-2 Greyhound model for naval missions.
Silver_Dragon replied to AegisFX's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Not bad if then will be a future ASC module on a future. -
Chinook has actualy your propper CH-47F Shape EDM directory on Core Mods. I dont have that module to check the cockpit on the modelviewer on mods directory.
-
I see several interesting points that wouldn't be a bad idea to implement on the SuperCarrier, but as a retired aircraft carrier, what other situations would be interesting to simulate on the deck of an aircraft carrier? I was intrigued by your point about aircraft not being sent to the hangar. Another point that isn't currently simulated is helicopter operations.

Towering clouds, will they ever come?
Silver_Dragon replied to AKULA_OPTIMUS's topic in Clouds & Weather System
I don't remember now, but I think the towering clouds were shown in a "202X and Beyond" video, but nothing more was heard about. In fact, we haven't heard anything about improved weather for several years.
