Its a game and is a long long way from simulating a proper simulator, so its even further from having any hope of simulating real life.

Its a computer game, whats the big issue?

If they are equipped to that level then they have ceased to be 'insurgents'. Asymmetrical warfare is conducted by small lightly armed groups using guerilla tactics against a larger more technically equipped professional Army. Its common for civilians to confuse Anti Terrorism, Counter Insurgency and Conventional Warfare. As an example we are currently seeing all three during the Ukraine/Russian conflict but they are all very different in concept and execution for both sides.

What assets would you give insurgent forces, some old Pakastani motorbikes, farmers tools, if you are lucky a stolen ANP Forde Ranger?

Ive just added an MSI SPATIUM M480 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 4TB that was £290 from Amazon UK, goes with a 1TB Sabrent Rocket and a 2TB Corsair MP 600XT. KIOXIA EXCERIA G2 2TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 Solid State Drive | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk) = £90 Plenty of good options for under £110

A 2TB drive is £90, are you seriously running just a single drive?

Dont use his Mods then, very simple. he makes them for himself, then is kind enough to release them to us.

The most effective weapon on any battlefield right now is a £250 over the counter drone. How about some FPV drones?

@currenthill Am i doing something wrong, i deleted the old files and used the new packs from the downloads. Ive put the folders into the Tech folder but DCS refuses to boot, i get past the Nvidea splash screen then it just returns to the desk top., if i remove the CH folders the game starts fine. Do i need to add the sub folders (database, encyclopedia liveries etc) into the Tech folder or just the Asset pack folder as in the screenshot below becuae when i did that the entry.lua over wrote and only the last added Asset Pack was avialible in the editor. Thanks in advance, i cant play DCS without your mods, its like going back to Lock On.

Seriously, ha ha ha ha you belter. Official game patch messes with unofficial mods, yeah lets all rip the arms off a teddy.

F 16 AIM 120 doesnt even appear as an option anymore ha ha ha

@currenthill Last night i had a look at the T14, i put 3 x T14 against 3 x Challenger 2 on a completely flat area of the PG map. Was interesting that head on the T14 engaged and destroyed the C2 before the C2 even got a shot off. (run multiple times with the same result) So i swapped out the Ch2 for your Challenger 3 and the result was reversed, the C3 engaged and destroyed the T14 before the T14 got a round off. (ran several times, even a single C3 would destroy the three T4 at a great range) All this was head to head and closing at 25km/h, however i then ran the 3 Vs 3 again but with the six vehicles passing at an oblique angle, this time the T14 engaged and destroyed the C3 with only a single C3 getting a round off. Again i ran this several times and always with exactly the same result. Two C3 destroyed then as the third fires it also gets destroyed. I only spent 30 mins on this so il have a more in-depth look tonight but might be worth having a look yourself.

Traffic drives on the left in Cyprus

I can 100% confirm that both The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (Turkish speaking Northern bit) and the Republic of Cyprus (Greek speaking Southern bit) drive on the left. Having said that the quality of driving is so poor that visitors might think there is no specified side to drive on.

One of the issues i find is that modern SAM systems both land and sea have become so powerful that its almost impossible to defeat them, certainly using core game assets. The systems deployed in the 70's and 80's both land and sea are a little more forgiving when using aircraft and weapons from the same era, it would be nice to have some more ships from that time period. The only thing that can currently overcome an S350 site is the B21, which is obviously a very up to date system.

The fence between Israel and Egypt, maybe Ukraine should have used it because a MBT doesn't even try to go over or through it.

It was over 2 miles bud, before that the longest recorded confirmed kill was just under 1.7 miles. Neither of these were one shot kills, they both walked rounds onto the target. With a .50 rounds its more about the kinetic energy transfer than penetrative effect (on a human body).

This is still not working for me, shows in the module manager but i cant access the map in game.

Im in the same boat as you bud, exactly the sxame.

Ok so i think maybe ive found the issue, so i hit the update and it updated, but i think that was the 'update; rather than the map, ive now come out the game, hit update again and its doing another update. Maybe this is the actual map.

Just so ive not missed anything, shouldnt it just auto instal, in my module manager is show Normandy 2 as installed after i updated but i cant access the map in the editor. am i doing something wrong because im sure ive never had to manually instal a map ever and i have all of them.

Same issue here. Shows in thje Mod manager, shows in my account as paid for and delivered, the latest update is done but just the old Normany and Channel maps are accessable.

I know not 100% appales for apples but i went from a 3800x to a 5800x3d gaming at 4k. The 5800x3d is a huge jump in performance when a lot is going on but ultimately the GPU still bears the brunt of the work at max eye candy and 4K. If you do go for a 5800x3d then make sure you undervolt it, ive shaved off 50mv and load temps have dropped significantly, boosted my CB23 score and also enabled faster and more sustained max single and all core clocks.

Airflow works best in straight lines, with as little in the way as possible and that warm air rises. Room ambient will always be cooler than case ambient Case ambient will always be cooler than coolant Coolant will always be cooler than component. If the room ambient rises then so does the case ambient and then the coolant and finally the component. In the pre WCing days it was always ideal for cool air in at the front and low down with the exhaust being back and high up. Ive found the best scenario for a WCing set up is a case with a separate chamber for the rad, like the old but awesome Silverstone Temjin Tj07, a RAd in the roof with air blown up and through. Check your fans and rads, some are better suited to blowing than sucking, some produce more airflow but less static pressure, and also the opposite. Thick rads with high density fine are great for cooling but need high pressure fans.

OK thank you to @BIGNEWY and @draconus It turned out to be an AC Mod, not sure which one but im assuming a Tornado mod as that went on fairly recently. Anyways my other Mods which are basically just ships are back in and all is working great. Thanks again
