So we should make ER better \ worse just to make better tactics, I mean force people to run against missile which in reality would be just like mosquito? That would make DCS further from realism than now. Pilots have to get new way of dealing with it.

Maybe they have confidence but same they had in Georgian war at 2008 - plenty of RU weaponry either failed or partially worked like Kh-58 or dumb bombs. Su-27 rely on high spam of missiles. This is why it has so many hardpoints. If ED has access or better understanding of ER behavior and now it adapts, then OK. They could think this way even in time of FC 2, but finally decided to push it now. DCS is supposed to be sim, not balanced game for the Flanker or any other lovers - if it is crap in RL or there is high probability it is, then make it the crap. However there should be added fancy things, obvious like Time-to-Impact counter or relock possibility....

+1 I may add make text more friendly, less space used. I do not need to know whole sentence, I may see just icon. Criss on MiG-29S killed Thomas on F-15C by R-27ER Criss (29C icon) [*] Thomas (F15 icon) by R-27ER It is like in Counter Strike. Or leave same text but better formatted - no half word breaks ect. Names could be colored - if someone is blue then name it blue. Ivan (MiG-29S) killed Thomas (F-15C) by R-27ER Thomas (F-15C) landed at Sochi-Adler.

Are you sure it is related to ER family?

I even didn't notice ERs were in any way better in 1.5 O_o For me they have quite short legs, no loft, and are easy to avoid because radar more often loses lock in case of high maneuvers of enemy. Poor net code also breaks lock - warping. We don't know what real ERs are, perhaps in reality they may be poor too.

Any working "all flyables" mod for 1.5? I would fly them, I remember mods for 1.2....

Do so enormous fuel tanks limit plane max AoA or other things during fight? Whenever I see Mirage with fuel pods, I wonder how it can fly with them. Dafuq?

Other companies like Valve has no problem with content creation for example CS, Half-Life ect. Everyone does make what one wants. The Community decides whether it is worth downloading and playing created map or just leave it be to die. If I want to create 5km x 5km map with 10 objects inside "my world" for my own purposes why should I be forced to show skills as this kind of map does not require any?

As we see 14 years later Su-25TM is still not being manufactured again :P I read that TM upgrade was considered as over sophisticated and too expensive, thus SM cheap suite was done. Wish it was another, as I see it as only one plane which can stand against A-10C without making own cheeks red.

Su-25 is rather not precise tank killer as A-10A is thanks to Mavericks. Soviets used Su-25 successfully thanks its toughness, simpleness and effectiveness against rebels. So rocket pods, gunpods, blind bombs. That is enough to kill rebels, it is enough to kill ISIS now. It performs good in this role, so Russians were pleased. But can it do anything more? No, basic Su-25 cannot do what A-10A did - use Mavericks to easily kills tanks, armory ect. Newer versions of Frogfoot yes, but still they are in the factory instead of airfield. Why do you compare in this moment newer Su-25 with the A-10A which almost is no used in the missions? It is a bit retarded :P And Su-25 cannot use radar now as I read it was rejected as not needed. Said one of the military man from the interview in 2009 if I remember correctly. Yup, but at the end A-10A got those things, where Su-25 was abandoned for years as "vanilla". In the meantime we got A-10C with upgrade suites, meanwhile Su-25 is being slowly updated to SM standard, recently better suite. My point is - we compare both planes, while A-10A got upgrades, becomes A-10C while Su-25 stayed for decades in the basic form. What do you want to compare if it takes 20+ years to build new optics pod since the last one was used in the T series around 1994? Yes but still you have to use your eye to catch target. This means better no clouds, mist or dark. You expose yourself when looking for targets from the cockpit. Any new missile in production for the series? Smaller than Kh-25 but more effective than Vikhr? Is "Hermes" missile still in development, as I've seen the news ages ago but still no any real picture of it. It seems to be nice project.

A-10A is much better than Su-25 (vanilla). Be honest, basic Frogfoot is blind, uses archaic tactic and practically rely just on unguided ammo. I would say that just speed, better armor and higher payload capability don't make it II World War plane. Su-25T is better to compare vs A-10A. It is flying brick but can do a lot. Su-25SM is vanilla Su-25 plus some stuff like GPS or HUD. Still can't use optics, FLIR, ect., still no dedicated light guided weapon - Kh-25s are quite heavy, aren't they? They could make a bit stronger Vikhr which is quite universal missile. A-10C overtakes any Su-25 upgrade (SM3 included I think). It has great avionics, pod, fancy MFDs ect.

So is it true? Visibility of image is really nice on those MFDs.

Hey, in previous editions there were easy way to make AI plane flyable. Now I cannot find HumanCockpit=yes entry. What is new procedure now? I'd like to enable MiG-31 example but completely forgot what to change or something more changed in sim structure.

It does not have something. Viper is uber epic, live volcano of epicness. It has soul, history and is most spreaded plane over the world. One of the most produced too, weird it is still not done while we see some exotics around.

F-16 would be epic of epicness. I don't know why ED rejects so much money from F-16 lovers. Currently there is no good F-16 sim around which would simulate something more than cockpit buttons.

Mother of god how can you read this :D

I have 8 GB, where for system goes almost 3. So 5 for DCS and often it would take more so I don't see reason why upgrading wouldn't give better performance.

Russia has a lot of old wrecks there so it is cheaper way to use them, same goes for old bombs.

You can make one MiG to fire AIM-120. Does it make all MiGs capable?

That is sad :S But let's hope it is not Nevada and new maps problem.

YOu used to wait few minutes for mission loading? What ancient computer do you use? :O

It looks delicious :D

Heheheheh good one xD

Installing TrackIR and preparing stuff for action. Comfortable chair already on position.

Wouldn't it be better just once to say "hey people we will release 1.5 in December" but make huge gift, shock and release in October or November? It gives better look.
