Yup.

I thought that the Russian government didn't want us to have that, or else we already would. Yeah, I'd love things like the MiG-29M/MiG-35, Su-30SM, and Su-35S.

Yes! Horrible bug! Must be fixed! Kh-31P never hits target when fired at ~30 km!

They can swim, they’re amphibious.

Last I checked (which was a few months back, mind you), the Patriot, SA-10, and most ships could do anti-missile defense. I thought the Roland could, too, and the Hawk, SA-8, and SA-11 can shoot the Kh-31P, if nothing else. Also, the SA-19 uses its guns on the Kh-58U. What uses the HQ-7? I didn't know about it.

A lot of great information, thanks! I know it can do air to air, my question was how to make it do so in DCS, as it can't be given any A/A tasks. My solution so far is to use CAS, with the advanced waypoint action 'Search Then Engage', as that covers air targets, allowing it to take the offensive. If someone knows a better solution, I'd be happy to hear it!

The GBU-12 was the only one I was really weirded out by. The F-16 was indeed AI, skill level high, and it was the only aircraft in the mission (just 1). Its task was SEAD (the target was a P-19 SR), and I didn't tinker with the advanced waypoint actions.

I just tested the F-16C (Block 52D) to see if it could use guided A/G weapons without a TGP, and it managed to do it with all the weapons I tested: AGM-65D, AGM-88C, AGM-154C, GBU-12, and GBU-38. Is this a bug? Can it fire those without any king of external targeting system in real life?

Is there a way to make the Su-34 do air to air combat? I know it's not designed for it, but it's certainly capable of it.

If the Kh-31P is fired at target more than 20-25km away, it will run out of energy and hit the ground, yet AI aircraft routinely do this. I don't know if it's a problem with the missile, not having the energy it's supposed to, or the aircraft, firing it out of range, but I would like it fixed.

This thread still alive? Rafale might be my choice.

Yeah, I used the measuring tape, and F-15C at 15,000 meters.

Has this been a help to anyone? Comments, confirmations, and contradictions are welcome.

I'm testing something in this mission, and the AI is supposed to be invincible and to not react to a threat. It denies these. Test.miz

No, I don't mean a skin. The current AI Su-30 is not as capable (or as cool-looking) as the Su-30MKI&co. They have more pylons, more weapons types, better radar, better engines, and TVC, as well as canards. Having them for AI would be good, even though flyability would be perfect.

I want this. Title says it all, and it would be a good addition to the forums.

Getting back into this aircraft. I like it a lot, way better than the A-10A, although I do prefer SEAD to CAS, provided I start far enough away from the SAM to get my bearings.

The AI always fires the Kh-31P out of range, so it never hits. Please fix!

Er, I just meant for the AI. I guess I didn't make that clear.

Here is a list of the maximum range of many SAM types in DCS. 48N6-133km; Pyotr Velikiy. SM-2-108km; Oliver Hazzard Perry Class, Ticonderoga Class. HHQ-9-105km; Type 052C Destroyer. MIM-104-98km; Patriot. 5V55-78km; SA-10, Moskva, Pyotr Velikiy. HQ-16-54km; Type 054A Frigate. SA2V755-43km; SA-2. 9M317-40km; Type 052B Destroyer. 9M38M1-37km; SA-11.

It probably got changed between 1.5 and 2.5.

Please? It'd be realistic, although it'd be even more so if we had the Su-30MKI and MKM, as well as the MKA for Algeria, which already has the current Su-30.

It's annoying, I agree, but I don't think it's a bug.

I know there are already several, but here's one more. That's what this section is for, right?:) The aircraft I'd like to see become flyable: 1-Su-27SM/Su-27SM3-I know, unrealistic, but still, it's great. 2-MiG-29SM/MiG-29K-See above. 3-Mirage 2000-5-Please? Pretty please? 4-Su-25SM/Su-25TM-Cool attackers. 5-Su-24 (Any Version)-I know ED won't do it, but maybe someone else can. 6-Tornado IDS/ADV-Should be doable. More advanced aircraft that would be cool for AI: 1-Su-30M2+Su-30SM+Su-35S-Duh. 2-MiG-29M/MiG-35-Also awesome. 3-Dassault Rafale-Very cool, maybe feasable. 4-Eurofighter Typhoon-See above.
