Thank you for good news regarding the KA-50 update! It was what got me into DCS and still my favorite module.

Sorry but I have to +1 a little love for the KA-50 :) plz ED

The Russian version of bitchin betty is Nadia...much rather listen to her ;)

Also good to know, you can guide a vikar missile without lock on by launch override,slew gate over target. Good if it gets dark.

This was no accident, within 2 months of each other(the fitz now the mccain). I bet it has to do with them being AEGIS equipped destroyers. Do your own research and go down the rabbit hole if you dare.

This is some of the best news I have heard regarding DCS. I play mostly single player. Thank you for ED for addressing the AI issues.

I cant wait for the next event, I made a bad decision to drop my tanks early and ran out of fuel dog fighting 4xf86s over the lake. When I ran out I had a F86 right in my sights,2 seconds from dropping the hammer!! Goodtimes.

Same here, DCS 1.5.6.3690 Update 1 broke my mig21bis. Thanks!!

Does anyone know if the ww2 "assets" will be drive-able like CA?

I use the slower firing rate in conjuntion with short bursts of 1-2 sec at a time. It seems to be a little more accurate and you use less ammo per target.

I will join, eventually. I already have 3 versions of dcs on my computer, id rather play a combined merged version without having to rollback a version.

Just a random hope for the new damage models to come, for the Mig-15, if a .50 cal hits the engine, there should be a obvious chance for catastrophic damage also perhaps a loss in the engines power output due to damage/piercing the VK-1s combustion chambers.

As for the .50 cals, look at some gun camera footage from Sabres over Korea and watch the effects of the .50 cal hits. I sincerely hope it is just something in the works, not a case of DCS devs being "Russian Fanboys". The Mig-15 IMHO doesn't need any special "help".

The F-4 Phantom had a problem with smokey engines too and that was 1-2 generations later. It was a tactical disadvantage during the Vietnam war. The F86 had a early generation axial flow jet engine vs a centrifugal flow engine for the mig15. My guess it is realistic, perhaps needs a tweak or two however.

I've read that aerodynamic efficiency was optimized on the spitfire by making the wings as thin as possible with the bumps for the hispanos. Versus a plane like the P-51 with a laminar flow wing, the thickest part of the wing is middle and thinner on the edges, hence probably more durable/less drag right?

KA-50 BS no question. It is a high fidelity simulation of a Russian Coaxial attack helicopter! IMHO no question the BS first but I have both ;)

Oh get the KA-50. It is very easy to fly because of the autopilot channels, dual rotor setup. It is ton of fun in almost every kind of game play mode. It has been out for many years, updated,polished and now available for cheap$ Get it and you'll get the best bang for your buck.

I can't hit you with the actual numbers benchmark wise 3gb vs 6gb but in my experience at running DCS in 1440p I have seen it use pretty much all my 6gb of vram, 4-5 gb depending on my 980Ti. Go for the 6gb IMHO.

People need to have more patience it is such a minor feature, that is very cool that are even giving the option for regular or clipped wings.

+1 This is the on the top of my wishlist. Revamping the AI and AI FM/DM.

It was not online so that rules lag out. I have been really busy with school/finals so I haven't had a chance to check back. When I said 8k altitude that a high estimate btw 7-8k was the launch altitude. It was gaining energy in a vertical climb to 80k.... I got the screenshots, ill post them in a bit.
