There is no cockpit with this version.

Awesome work. Are there plans to build other air defense platforms like the Tor-M2, Buk M2 or Patriot PAC-3?

What is the max mil power rated at in the TF30? With the F110, it's rated alittle over 16,000.

Any new updates coming in the near future on this great bird?

Nope. And I don't believe the targets were jamming. Just setup some Tu-95s to shoot at. I'll test again later to see if the lack of lofting repeats.

Interestingly, none of my Phoenix shots are lofting. Firing at targets from 38k going Mach 1.4 at a range between 52 and 62nm. All shots simply flew straight for the target.

This is a slick visor.

I'd agree on what ED did with the Hornet's audio. E19 however did a great job with the Viper imho. The Tomcat is hit or miss. If Heatblur could iron out the obnoxious sound looping for the F-14, it would be great.

I've noticed the S-300VM doesn't fire at all. The V and V4 operate fine though. Just wanted to point this one out.

Are you carrying bags too or going clean?

Would love to see the Viggen module expanded to add the JA37 as a new A2A asset.

I'd rather have the more beastly AH-1W Super Cobra over the G.

A YF-23 mod would be cool. Although the speculated production F-23 would be fascinating as well with the extended weapons bay.

A full-fidelity Su-25SM would be nice but not going to happen.

Will the SA-17 Grizzly be re-added at some point?

We'll have a Block I Rhino long before getting the Growler. If ED ever gets close-to-life EW in the DCS, I'd rather see the EA-6B to be honest.

Kind of makes me hope ED can develop the AIM-7P further with the capabilities of the Blk II variant which had the WGU-23D guidance section and new rear receiver supposedly for better low altitude guidance.

From tests. Haven't noticed too much of difference in kill probability between the Mk 47 and Mk 60 motors against non-maneuvering targets (Bombers) over 65nm out. Tried the same against an Su-27 in two tests where each were launched at about 42nm from target at 39k going Mach 1.4 against the target at 35k. The Flanker turns and runs into thicker and none of missile hit. The AIM-54C Mk. 60 got within rock-throwing distance before the Su-27 walked away. The new 54C is still a nasty thing with the new guidance as it kept on the Flanker regardless of chaff, forcing it defensive for awhile. Enough time for me to close in an tag it with a Sparrow.

Any fix on the SA-20B yet?

Great thread. I've liked the updates the M2000 has received. I still hope one day, we get see a full-fidelity 2000-5.

Unlikely due to the classified nature of the APG-79 and other systems. As to the topic. The Block I Super Hornet would be nice even if just as an AI unit. As a regular module, having the longer legs and greater payload capacity would be nice along with that bigger MFD screen in the center.

An F-15C with the -229 engines or the GE F110s now in the F-15EX would have some impressive acceleration I'd imagine. As for a full fidelity F-15C. I'd still pine for an Eagle spec'd to 2004/05. (AIM-9X, APG-63(v1) JHMCS, datalink).

Interesting. The SA-20B (S-300PMU-2) doesn't work at all for me with either the Mast or the Truck. The radar is trucking but no missiles are firing. Also, can you bring back the SA-20A?

I get the FC3 argument but a full fidelity MiG-29S would just offer alittle more of that immersion and close that disparity gap between the 4th gen Red and Blue force aircraft. The only other ideal option would be a Su-27S or P but that seems even less likely right now.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm assuming then that the Post-Cold War variant had the N019M Topaz.
