  1. Sort of. The idea of fighter "generations" gets murky here. These were retrospectively applied to older aircraft whilst later generations were developed. Depending how you look at it the MiG-19 is either a late first gen (Gen 1+ if you will) as it is in essence a really souped up MiG-15. The version we're getting does have more of the features typically given to second generation fighters e.g. radar + missiles but these are add-ons just like reduced RCS, AESA and TVC are the add-ons of current Gen 4+ fighters. (The more tricky acronyms the better probably) Similarly I consider the MiG-21bis and F-5E3 to be Gen 2 with Gen 3 kind of being the "Orphan Generation" with the oddball planes like the MiG-23 and Mirage F-1, sort of a stop-gap response to Vietnam and the Arab-Israeli wars showing that dogfighting was still in fashion. TLDR; Don't put too much stock into the "generations" they're mostly subjective.
  2. .
  3. Basically it's going to be deadly when paired up with a MiG-21. The 21 takes care of the need for Mach 2 and all aspect missile armament, 19 will turn on a dime and has guns with a 1-second burst mass of ~ 18kg, also has a bubble canopy. I think the Tigers and Viggens are in for a hard time.
  4. I'm not saying these are bad aircraft, my point was to debunk the idea that Lockheed would face serious consequences if their aircraft had problems whilst for some reason Soviet aircraft designers enjoyed some sort of immunity if they screwed up.
  5. :lol: F-22 Hypoxia debacle, F-35. -Lockheed are laughing all the way to the bank. I think in 1950's USSR aircraft performance was very much the designers problem, lest they get taken out back and shot. Heck Sukhoi went back to the drawing board when it was discovered that the Su-27 wouldn't perform as promised, this despite series production already being underway.
  6. With the hints of a greater story it sounds like a great premise for a campaign!
  7. This, https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129341 I don't know how I used to live without it.
  8. Went out for a bit, came home, did more testing. Now it's working fine. Tried every different load out combination I could think of and all works as intended. :dontgetit: All I can think of is in that time I've closed and re-started DCS
  9. There is an app for android that exports the TEWS, I've not gotten around to setting it up yet, but the reviews on the google play seem to indicate it works.
  10. The twin missile pylons work fine. But carrying the single R-60M pylons = no tone. edit: this is in 1.5.6 "stable"
  11. VEAO are an exception because by the time they've released it it'll be obsolete and declassified :lol:
  12. danger zone!
  13. Have you tried having the SAM active and on red alarm state but with ROE set to "Weapon Hold" and use the F10 command to change the ROE to "Weapon Free" ?
  14. Yes but the Su-25T was used in Chechenya so it's quite at home busting tanks on that small corner of the map.
  15. ^^ this I found racing through and over the valleys in the Caucuses helped me learn to ride the very edge of its limits.
  16. I've had this problem for ages, probably not long after 1.5 replaced 1.2 as the stable version. My brother has the same issue. I've even changed computers and still get it. Never been too worried, crash on close means I was closing it anyway. Followed clean up and repair instructions as per previous post, no change. dcslog.zip
  17. A transport truck does the trick
  18. Suspected as much, not too worry I can still slap a kiwi on the side so my excitement remains the same :)
  19. This is the upcoming module I am most excited about! So excited I even felt compelled to register and post on the forum instead of just browsing! Any chance of sometime adding the A-4K Kahu? Comes with such goodness as pulse doppler radar, two large MFDs, all aspect sidewinders and a really cool flightless bird painted on the side.
