    You're showing something that was created for the game. There's no such sight in real life. As far as I know, DCS is a simulator that faithfully replicates real helicopters and planes. Unless I'm missing something. 🤔

    Yes, I was shocked when I saw the HUD back in 1997 or 98, I know it's not real, simply wanted to show how it looked.

    Honestly? If you want an actual huge improvement to the DCS COIN experience? 

    The Dynamic Campaign Generator. Counter-insurgencies are very much a unification of military and political elements. They need function in conjunction with one another to prove successful. They must not just defeat insurgents, but also demonstrate to a population that the insurgents do not have their best interests at heart and are rogue elements while also assuring this population that the current government is a much better option and deserves their support. That way, a mission would emphasize a need for restraint, a need for accuracy, and decision making on the fly.

    Is that convoy of 3 trucks supposed to be there? They have white covers, could they be a bunch of aid workers from the UN, an NGO, or even just locals? Or is this something else?

    Basically, the A-10C II and the OH-58D would be absolutely come into their own. 

    Haha, that would be great, but we don't have that dynamic campaign yet, so I wanted to stick to easy additions.

  3. One of the best COIN aircraft for DCS If not the best is the FREE mod of the Ov-10 Bronco, is slow yes but can carry lot of stuff, both A-G and some Winders, can loiter for a lot of time, easy and fun to fly, and you can land anywhere, like in dirt paths. Give it a go, seriously.

    DCS could be a great platform for COIN, but they really need to improve this three things, in order of importance.

    - Infantry behavior, including suppression and cover taking. Also new models and weapons are really needed, like soviet infantry machine gunner!!

    - More COIN useful enemy weapons, including the very common Sa-7 MANPAD and light caliber MG's like the ZPU or the DShK (not the one we have on  pick up trucks). I use the low digit SAM mod for the Sa7 and have a ZPU-2 almost ready to release.

    - Fire bombs man! After all this years we don't have them, and there are lots of fire bombs we can use in COIN scenarios.

    Why would we, as users, need those?  .. I have no interest on managing a software company, I just want to have a proper manual to study the module.

    You maybe don't want to know, but I do. Thanks.
