I believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way DCS has some of these systems implemented, despite the constant (Correct As Is) subject lines. And yes I have seen bad implementation of equipment in RL, but this is something else. As mentioned in other post, look at the Viper and A-10 implementation of the same pod, chalk and cheese.
Anyway this is all pointless I guess and a reminder to me not to post in DCS forums, as stated I am not a pilot and do not have factual information, however that does not change my belief that DCS has got this wrong. At some point in the future I will be proven correct.
Lovely chatting.
