Stratos

That sounds like a good starting point, never tought it that way. Thanks! Will try the CSAR missions of Briefing Room as well.

Thats what I usually do, but was trying to get random locations for the downed guy. Own designed missions are boring, as you always know where everything will be.

I don't want this to be a post about spherical map, but to get some info about Afghanistan WIP. Thanks.

Is possible somehow to be a CAS helo pilot doing my own mission and get requested to recover Shoot Down AI pilots If one ejects? Imagine I'm flying my own mission when a friendly CAS jet pilot ejects. Is there any way to get the mission to recover him? Thanks!

First flight for Tblisi rebuilt Su-25UB

Of course, but we have some info about WW2 Marianas, as area covered and timeframe, yet we don't know anything about this map, no area covered, neither If is planned for the 80's or the 2000's...

This was posted in late 2021, a year and a half almost passed without any more news. Cannot we get some more info?

I found this great skins by an artist called 117Chugun, think is he made a fake second canopy for the 25T converting into a semi 25UB and will like to ask him If he can share the template for that part, but he's not around on forums and don't know how to contact him. Any idea?

AFAIK Is not possible, we tried and asked ED for years now, they just ignore us and say it will be looked in the future.

Done. Not that ED cares a single bit.

Beautiful, would love to fly it over a Afghanistan or a Iraq map!

Fingers crossed, looks cool.

Together with the lack of weapons...

I think it was not capable of carrying the Mavs and was more oriented to use Warsaw pact weapons.

A TigerShark would be amazing!

Agree 100%

I agree in that COIN can be very satisfactory If the mission is well designed, as is a totally different experience from the hi tech jets.

We also think in DCS terms where we often fight against Bradleys or BMP-2 that are heavily armored. Leaving apart the jamming, how the Yak gun would have performed in real life against the much more common and a lot less armored APCs of the 80's, the M-113 the FV432 and all the trucks and wheeled APC common in NATO forces?

Been testing ONE GUV pod against infantry, shooting only the Yak MG, you need a direct hit to kill one of those guys, ED really need to model supression and improve infantry behaviour, is really bad right now. Found this in one of my books, it also talks on the Yak MG replacement.

I could only found this video on YouTube with the Yak gun firing, seems like is a good area weapon, good for supressing fire I think. Of course we need to get better infantry DM.

Same for me, It passed from insta-buy to will not get it.

No weapons on the DCS PC-9.

Without jamming that mades 20 sec more or less, IIRC a Mustang can use its guns during less than 30 seconds. The V is very interesting to have, isn't it? A loadout I will love to try on the V would be 2 UPK gun pods, the S-8 rocket pods and the AT-6. Thanks for the pics and diagrams.

How I would like the V in DCS to work, gunner select target and tells me (just like he does now with the missiles) once in range I authorize him to start fire, and tell him when to stop. Start at 50 secs.

Lots of guns jam when doing long bursts, I learned that ages ago in Strike Fighters Project One, short bursts and never while loading high G's. But yes would be nice to have jamming occuring If not enough care is taken. BTW: whats that book AeriaGloria?
