I do believe there is fragmentation but i don't know how well it is simulated, as before i have killed my friend in a Ka-50 with a Shilka where a self destroying round bursted near him and damaged him.

Who knows, maybe it will be released with the Open Alpha release this Friday, we can always hope.

I'm sure i'll love it even without purchasing the Normandy map. Eat that all you people that said selling them separate was a bad idea!

Looking good! Another thing to eat away at my wallet :)

Ah yes, i do notice this bug too, hopefully it'll get fixed soon so i can blow the turrets off of some t55's :)

I've looked around the wishlist thread and various others in the combined arms section, but i have not found what i'm looking for. I am curious as to why we cannot tell long range SAM turrets what to attack such as the Patriot or the SA-10. If i use a ship that is SA-10 capable i can tell it to attack a specific plane but if its a stationary missile site on the ground i cannot. I'm wondering if there is any way we can tell them what to attack while being a game master.

I'm interested in the WWII Assets pack and im wondering if anyone knows if stationary AAA like the 88mm flak will be player controllable and if so how setting the fuses will work.

I noticed the Leopard 1A3 recently.. and unless i'm having a brain fart i don't recall it being there, anyways i drove it out as a quick test against a T-90, and firing AP at it, it does nothing (as expected) and the AP rounds in slow motion look like a version of HEAT-FS rounds. So i tried out the HE round, which.. killed the T-90 in one shot, i noticed this with all tanks, the HE will always be a guaranteed kill, and in slow motion it looks like a standard shell. Just an observation and i'm wondering if this is a bug, or a mechanic not properly implemented yet.

I have done everything correct including naming the folder Kneeboard, and making the F-5E-3 folder, but it does not work, i just get the default kneeboard showing up still, any ideas of whats wrong?

Yeah having same problem, only stayed recently, nothing's changed, which leads me to believe this is a bug and not our hardware's faukt

I deserve this because i'm a big boy who can fly the uh1 with no rudder pedals and need to take it to the next level

This kinda worries me, because of the DDM on the Mirage, it will know where that r73 is coming from! At least F-15's will be on equal terms with us Flanker pilots still :)

If you're feeling brave, and have an awacs up, use your datalink, slip around them if possible, and smack em with a 27et from the side or behind, that'd be your best bet if you absolutely had to fight, use the terrain to your advantage when trying to slip around too. Never try to face 2 of them head on though.

I for one would love to see a Mirage 2000-5 in DCS, hopefully if theres enough info available, it'll be done.

I never was a big fan of the aim7 besides the fact that it has flood mode, which is pretty helpful, but doesn't entirely negate its slow speed.

In my honest opinion, i believe the super 530 is better than r27er, from singleplayer experience, not entirely sure if this is how it is on multiplayer or in real life, can someone give me some insight on that? (besides the fact that the 27ER has more range)

I am beginning to wonder if this is an AI thing, because i've been playing online, and having an equal amount of successes and failures with the 27er, it is far more useful in multiplayer than single player. And if i watch the enemy ai while dogfighting it repeatedly pulls between -2 and 5-6 g's at a ridiculous pace, i think the way the ai flies could be our problem.

I've noticed that when facing AI opponents, the Super 530 has a much much higher probability of getting a kill over the R-27ER, which i can almost never get a kill with (i have one confirmed in singleplayer against a Mirage/F-15 in the series of tests i've done). Is the R-27ER really this bad? I've also noticed that the jammer drastically reduces the range of the Su-27's radar lock, evening out the fight a bit, but even when not jamming the 27ER repeatedly fails to hit, when the Super530 is rarely evaded. And finally, after taking all this and the fact the mirage now has IR Launch warning, into consideration what do you think would win online against players beginning in BVR combat, any altitude, head on.

Perhaps another variant of the Mirage-2000?

So, i am not too familiar with this aircraft, and from what i've seen it will mostly be like a more advanced f5 in the fact that it carries mainly air to surface weaponry. Now, i realize there are people with much more knowledge of this plane, and i am wondering, does the AJS carry any medium range air to air missiles? Or just Swedish versions of the aim9?

My bad, for you and everyone else unaware I will put it simply that the PD and PDS are the interceptor variants, the PDS having further upgrades from the PD model.The base interceptor variant is the P. The MiG R variants and recon bombers and the one I listed being one of the most upgraded production variants.

Ok let's be honest with ourselves here, 5g limit may suck, but when you are the 2nd fastest aircraft in the world, wouldn't you feel rather content with yourself? So with that, who would like to see a MiG-25 in DCS World, and if so, what variant?

Will these damage models be applied to early jets at least? such as the MiG-15, and sabre, and eventually more modern ones? (i realize the modern ones aren't as needed due to missiles being the main weapon which... doesn't really require much damage modelling to emulate)

Keep an eye on the 104th sometimes they have a mission going that bans 120's but still allows 27ER's (not sure but i think 27et's are banned too)

Holding back projects or not, i do believe this is a good step for ED to get used to 2 seat aircraft before releasing one of their most anticipated modules, now i do have a question, is ED considering something that makes it so if a player wants an AI RIO instead of a player who will potentially slack off during flight, they can make the RIO seat restricted from anyone entering it?
