Agree 1990s version would make more sense. But perhaps reference material is lacking and for a non-native it would probably be difficult to notice any difference outside the major cities anyway. So much of DCS is compromised and making do with what we have, rather than what is 100% strictly accurate. Even if we had a 90s version of the map, we have the 'wrong' Viper for example.

Not to mention Israel/Gaza in the Sinai map, GWoT in Afghanistan & Iraq, and the recently announced Balkans. All very real for some on here too. I understand that they don't want to do Ukraine, and that's fine, but the reasoning is somewhat illogical IMHO.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I know there is a lot of moaning and complaining on these forums, but usually the news of anything new being added is well received.

Surprised at all the negativity here. I like the Sinai map. It's not my most used map but the performance is good and it is certainly nice enough to look at. The Balkans map is welcome news after a few light newsletters of late, and more AI units is always good to see.

Good shout. Especially in VR when counting keys on the keyboard.

Agree with all of the above. Kiowas etc are not just delivered into unprepared FARPs for immediate use.

You've selected the modifier JOY_BTN2 as a switch, so it will operate as a toggle. Press once to switch on, press a second time to switch off. Remove that one and add it again under the 'Modifiers' list on the left and you should be good.

There are two Modifier modes - one is hold, one is toggle. Are you sure you haven't selected it as a 'toggle' modifier?

If you google "TO +1A-10A pdf" you may find a complete flight manual online. Page 20 has a throttle button diagram, page 53 has the stick.

Who are you reporting it to and why? People get hung up on correct voice procedure, ultimately it doesn't matter. It changes over time, and different countries, indeed different branches of one countries armed forces may have different standards. The main thing to remember with any radio comms is to think what you are going to say before you start to transmit, and remember ABC. Accuracy - be precise in your meanings and what you want to convey. Brevity - Don't use ten words when 2 will do. Clarity - speak clearly, and avoid ambiguous sayings or words. If you are part of a MP virtual squadron then they may well have their own procedures, but otherwise don't sweat it. Chances are nobody else on the server knows what they are doing either.

The paper doesn't state the specific version but was based on the HEAT type and written circa 1976, so I'd imagine it related mainly to the 7VS. Wikipedia has a wide range of penetration figures, but, you know, it's Wikipedia so a good chance it's not particularly accurate. I would share it but rules on here are pretty clear, even for older documents.

Contemporary US Army TRADOC estimates a 1st hit Pk of 5-10% at 300-500m against a non-moving M60 for an RPG-7. If DCS have simply plugged that figure or something similar into their calculations then you would expect 10-20 hits to achieve a kill. I don't know how the mechanics of DCS damage models work though. The calculated Pk incorporates a 30% chance of a 1st round hit, so with a guaranteed hit the PK would be higher, and the number of hits might work out to 3-7. The warhead is technically capable of penetrating 11" of steel armour, so anything other than a direct front-on hit would be effective against most older MBTs, I guess the variation in the probabilities reflects the different orientations of the target. Best case and a guaranteed hit you might get a kill with one shot, but in reality 3-7 shots fired seems a reasonable estimate. Nine side on seems excessive, especially with 100% hits.

Time to dust this off?

I'm not too far from there sometimes, I'll have to pay a visit.

Any chance of a summary for those who don't habla?
