Hopefully there will be a huge increase in naval assets, arriving in…??? as a quick refresher, and caveat that all / none / some may appear… Invincible class carrier Centaur class carrier Colossus class light fleet carrier Brooklyn class light cruiser Type 42 DD County class DD Alan M Sumner class DD Leander class frigate Rothesay class frigate Type 21 frigate Type 22 frigate Drummond class corvette Castle class patrol ship Cabo San Antonio LST Sir / Round Table class LSL Fearless class LPD?? Type 209 SSK Balao SSK Oberon SSK + various merchant ships… … that’s a long list, and easily seen as way optimistic

Would have hoped to have seen / heard a bit more by now… especially after the strong showing of both S Atlantic and F-15E in the DCS Christmas / New Year videos The mention above ^^ of a new teaser video raised my hopes, but nothing to get excited about just yet… ETA - the terrain has looked fab in previous vids, as did the Leander Class frigate… just wondering if either asset pack development or performance optimisation was taking the time

Nothing wrong with the map we have…? Some new Red Army assets would help, but a little imagination and reskinned lend lease units would go a long way to help

Just wow… … take off into the gathering dusk - very atmospheric…! Very much looking forward to this - a relative and early aviation influence was RAF Bomber Command (Stirlings and B17s), so great anticipation about getting a RAF “heavy” into DCS One question though - is the prop animation spinning the wrong way??? Or is it a strobe effect in the video?

Make it Iceland, N Norway, Barents Sea, Murmansk Job done

Good grief… …. stop teasing!!!

Would love to see a 214 Squadron skin for the Fortress…

@hannibal Turrets Can’t wait… and bombs… https://youtu.be/FIS-tPl9QdM

@billythebassman - I assume you have seen the Devs website / latest update…? 2022 New Year Update

Would be very nice to see this pop up on Facebook…..

If only there was a dev to pick up the mantle and get a Jag into the game…

I’d be happy flying the Corsair against the Luftwaffe over Normandy or Channel… And if Raz get S Atlantic out it will be a perfect fit…

This might be the most insightful comment here… ED (and M3) may well be looking to coordinate the release of both

I suspect that the gorgeous looking screenshots, of the Corsair and Intrepid, made everyone assume that release was fairly close… M3 comments on FB “time to fill her up” against an image of a Corsair on finals also give the impression that the module is close to release. The website update page also gives a similar impression, but does outline areas of ongoing coding (bat bomb / radar) Let’s hope the Corsair is close, it’s highly anticipated and will be a day 1 purchase for me. … would love to see some in-game video

What…!!! How does that work at the stated max range

Next test flight will be to trial the R-27 ET. Given the stated range, does this one get mid course updates, or is it a blind shot to the radar return until the IR seeker picks up a heat source?

Feels like a bad idea to me I can see the appeal for helo pilots flying COIN - who’s a combatant and who is not… but overall, seems like a bad idea. The news has made flying simulated fast jests and dropping things that go bang feel deeply wrong. Curiosity around the MiG-29 has brought me back to the virtual cockpit, but I can’t imagine having civilians in the battle space as a good look at the mo

Thanks for the replies - was loaded with 2x R-77 but only got LA at 18km Is it worth giving the R-27ER or ET a try? I understand that the ER is a SARH missile, which is useless closing to the merge anyway to maintain lock… but what about the ET??? Are there any plans for the active homing R-27???

It’s probably 10 years since I’ve flown any of the Redfor jets… but have recently been enjoying flying the MiG-29… One question though, I haven’t settled on (don’t fully understand???) the best red BVR missile. Ranges for LA seem to be much shorter than I expected for the fully active missiles. Are we limited to the SARH AA-10 / R27 version(s)? is there a good summary of the available AA and AG ordnance in DCS? I’ve always struggled to get eyes across the full inventories - perhaps because each module has specific loads?

My post was very tongue in cheek

The greatest plus for a “persisting world”… … is the battlefield environment. Persistent damage and debris from one mission to the next hugely increases immersion. Look at the images from “Eastern Europe” really does demonstrate how the player environment should be “degraded” from mission to mission if I had to think of a name for this technology…? sounds like - “Dynamic Campaign”

Another for Channel… (Love flying strikes out of Manston using the Mossie…) As for Anton vs Dora vs Kurfürst… tough choice Anton is probably the easiest to learn, but is horribly matched when it comes to the Allied fighters - despite all the debate on here, I struggle to believe the Anton was as poor in RL Dora is lovely to fly, but as you observe, not well supported within the sim Kurfurst - I don’t have as many hours on Out of all the WW2 aircraft, I’d go Mosquito + Channel

Was going to post the same… The start up and take off / landing tutorials all scream “soooon…!” (it’s also pay day this week )

Well, it looks pretty good to my untrained eye… images from Red Star Simulations Facebook page

Technical is in the Spring Sale video… … next OB???
