DCS: Roadmap (unofficial - NO DISCUSSION HERE)
Silver_Dragon replied to Silver_Dragon's topic in DCS 2.9
Update Roadmap with last newsleter info about FC-2024 / Supercarrier / DCS Launcher. From ORBX Discord: null -
We continue with the Missing link series, Part 2. In that episode we talk about the ASW aircrafts and ASW Weapons. In fact, that connects with the previous episode 1. From the times of LOMAC/FC/DCS World, has appeared (and disappeared), some ASW aircrafts, but the antisubmarine warfare never was implemented by ED on the core as a proper Sonar engine technology, sub weapons, sub damage model, flooding, etc. Some that aircrafts and helicopters have ASW capabilities, but the lack of them has put them only as ASUw platforms, and their main role on the simulator has disappeared. On the list, on DCS W, has the Ka-27/SH-3W/SH-60B/S-3B/Tu-142M A Ka-27, with MAD? Ka-27 [Helix A] was intended to replace the decade-old Kamov Ka-25, and had to have identical or smaller external dimensions than its predecessor. On DCS, the helo is only capable of working as a radar platform, and I am not sure if the radar matches the proper Osminog [Initsiativa-2KM] radar. The other sensors as A-100 Pakhra sonobuoy processor, Troynik data link, VGS-3 Ros-V dipping sonar or MAD, has all missing them. The actual version has only a Ka-27, not the Ka-27M from January 2017. On fact the Ka-27 has capable to carry that weapons on the internal bay (No modeled), with a payload of 1000 kg: 1 AT-1M or UMGT-1 or APR-2 torpedo 8 PLAB-250-120 DC 2 KAB-250-100PL Zagon guided DC 1 RYu-2 Skat Nuclear DB (No on DCS W) 2 500 L tanks 36 RGB-NM-1 Sonobuoys In fact, the Ka-27 worked on pairs, carrying search sonobuoys (RGM-NM-1) and dipping sonar (VGS-3 Ros-V) and other carrying MAD and weapons. Torpedoes have better use on open waters (the old russian torpedoes have problems on Shallow waters), meanwhile Depth Charges (DC) & Depth Bombs (DB) have better on Shallow waters. Ka-27M additional Loadouts (same payload): 32 RGB-16 Sonobuoys (Ka-27M) 1 APR-3M Orel torpedo or 8 KAB-PL DC (Ka-27M) Varians: Ka-27E: Equipped with radiation detection sensors. Capable of detecting nuclear weapons aboard ships. Two based Black Sea. Single in each other's fleet. Ka-27PS [Helix C]: SAR with radar only, one 500 L tanks as standard. Can carry 3000 kg slung load or 12 survivors. Standard is 12 six-man and 2 five-man life rafts. In service 1982. 104 delivered - 40 Navy, 40 Border Guard, 24 Air Force. Ka-27PST: One Ka-27PS trials 2nd Gen FLIR in 2003. Ka-27REP: One prototype with unknown standoff radar jammer. Ka-32: Civil Ka-27PS also used by the Navy for shipboard SAR, patrol and VERTREP. Ka-32A11BC: Shore based SAR with two each at Nikolaevka (Pacific) and Severmorsk-1 (Northern). In service Nov 13. Remarks: Regiments (OKPLVP): Baltic - 745th Donskoye 1986; Black Sea - 78th Lake Donuzlav 1986-95, 872nd Kacha 1979-?; Northern - 830th Severmorsk-2 1980, Severmorsk-1 2000; Pacific - 710th Novonezhino Oct 82-May 98, 289th Nikolaevka May 98. Late 80s - 90s: Fitted with Izumrud sonobuoy processor and 16 RGB-16. 1990s on: Ka-27PS frequently deploys on naval ships replacing Ka-27 for some deployments. 2010: Four Ka-27PS in use with the Air Force for land SAR. 2016: 16 Ka-27PS in naval service. Jan 17: First Ka-27M delivered to Russian Navy. It has a Bumerang combat system - Kopyo-A radar, MAD, 3rd gen ES, RGS-B01 Kema acoustic processor, VGS-3 Ros-VM dipping sonar, Bumerang data link. 46 aircraft planned to be upgraded - 4-6 training plus five squadrons each of 8 Ka-27M. 22 delivered by Oct 18 with 3 training, 6 Pacific, 6 Northern, 7 Baltic. May 19: APR-3M Orel torpedo completes trials. Estimate operational 2020. SH-3H SH-3W (Surely a SH-3H) was the main ASW helo carrier on the UsNavy from 1973, before the reach of the SH-60B in 1984. the H has a sensor suite of LN-66HP radar, MAD, 2nd Gen ES, AQS-13B dipping sonar, 24 sonobuoys, SQR-17 sensor link, but as the Ka-27, surely only the radar will be capable, but meanwhile that appears on the DCS encyclopedia, the unit on the mission editor has banished. SH-3 Acts as relay between sonobuoys and ship, must remain in radar LOS of ship to use sonobuoys. The SH-3H has capable to carry the subsequence weapon cargo with a payload of 715 kg: 2 46 torpedoes or 2 Mk14/54 DC 1 Mk101 Lulu or B57 nuclear DB (No on DCS W) 2 ALE-37 chaff pods or 2 drop tanks The Mk-46 torpedo will change with the date of the deployment: Mk 46 Mod 0/2/4 in 1973, Mod 5/6 in 1979, Mod 5A(S) (Shallow capable) in 1990. DC had better to Shallow environments before the Mod 5A(S) Torpedo reached. Some Remarks: 1976: ES and radar removed to make room for tactical navigation equipment, 24 sonobuoys and sensor link.

Another problem has been the lack of a Sonar Engine capable of detecting any sub, and of course, the subs have the actual old damage model from the LOMAC times, and no have nothing as an underwater physic explosion, flooding, etc. Has actually none ASW weapon modeled on DCS World. Other points, has some lack about missing units: Actually has none as a NATO ASW aircraft (Gannet AS.1/4 / Neptune MR.1/ Shackleton MR.1 / 2 / 3 / Sunderland V/MR.5 ) and NATO ASW helicopters (Lynx HAS.3 / Merlin HM.1 / 2 / Sea King HAS.1 / 6 / Wessex HAS.1 ). The missing of AR/UK Aircraft and Helicopters helos on South Atlantic Map (S-2E Tracker / S2F-1 (1962: S-2A), S-2F Tracker / S-61D-4 Sea King / SA.319B Alouette III / Lynx HAS.2 / Nimrod MR.1 / MR.2 / Sea King HAS.2 / HAS.5 / Wasp HAS.1 / HAS.3 / Wessex HAS.3). The lack of any Chinese ASW aircraft / Helicopter to Chinese Assets Pack. The lack of any WW2 Allied patrol aircrafts vs submarines.

ED has claimed Vietnam map, as Korea, talked by ED team as Wags, but does not have a development roadmap yet, waiting after Afghanistan, Iraq and “Germany”. That old technology was updated on the 2.0 to new map technology (TDK) and all maps from NTTR have been built with them and was updated more in the last years, the actual maps have not builded with the LOMAC technology.... and working on "whole earth" technology. Remember Kola map has more extension with SEA map. 1,400 km east-west by 1,000 km north-south, with more than 575,000 sq km of land and a total coverage area of ~1,350,000 sq km… the actual technology can build a South East Asia map without problems.

Supercarrier update in regards to the Kuznetsov
Silver_Dragon replied to Xeemix's topic in DCS: Supercarrier
ED has none plans to update, the Kuznetsov CV, on fact, the updated 3d model was only a extra, as the Akreig Burke DDG and Su-33 AI. The features has only centered on the Theodore Roosevelt sub-class (the shop has very clear): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/supercarrier/ -

Negative, please remember the history, we have know what happen here (google are your friend)....The Mig-21Bis was build first by Leatherneck 3rd Party on 2014 (On fact, comming by a KS, and previously by a mod by beczl). On that times, none has khow about the called Heatblur or M3 3rd parties. Remember leatherneck 3rd Party was posting regular updates about a F-14 develop module on 2015, and the AJS-37 module on 2016, before the 3rd party Split and the form of Heatblur and Magnitude 3 (and no, never was "joined"). The problem was the actual "Heatblur" team split from Leatherneck 3rd party on 2017 and form own 3rd Party, not opposite. On fact ones of the problems with force the split was the F4U claims, some of the Leatherneck team (actual Heatblur) was none interest on the F4U (and the "claimed" Iwo Jima map), and move away... Other Fact, the Mig-21Bis was "claimed" initialy by HB, but end on M3. M3 need to start from the ashes, yes, with the main develop force move away to HB... and many of your big modules on progress before split. M3 restart with the CE2 and some updates on the Mig-21bis, but the module has turned old with the past of time and require a rework. We need wait to the release of F4U, and surely more coming in the future. And about of "credible developer", remember ED has working to M3, to release a joint Pacific WW2 movement to push them with 2 modules (F4U/F6F) and ED and M3 Pacific assets Packs.
