the hornet remains my go to jet, versatile fighter-bomber with naval ops and looks very cool, plus it has the best cockpit and vr performance is excellent.
Ah, no because for that I fly P3D and MS2020, in fact my flight simming involves products like the PMDG line going back to FS9. DCS is not the venue for civi flight simming.
As someone who can also do AAR in the Viper in both this sim and that other Viper sim, I disagree.
With the boom you only need hold formation with the tanker and the boom operator does the work. With the basket all the work is done by the pilot. The boom is only harder in DCS because its porked.
