This guy alone went this far, I can't believe it so hard implement it:

Could you please test the same with the Tor-M1?

JDAM strike

I guess it will mainly be used for user created missions with the editor, one question though do ground vehicles have desert camo cause it will be stupid if all vehicles are green in the desert?

wow so it must be much more powerful than Litening. Any data of USAF fielding Sniper XR in larger numbers?

Thanks, anyone else finding those 10 and 6 km range of identification too short? I don't own DCS A-10C yet but from what I've seen in the videos the distance of identification in the game is way bigger. These numbers make you think how effective the real A-10C would be against short range SAMs if there is no preliminary reconnaissance info and it has to find the targets, identify and attack them on its own. What about the other pod and Arrowhead?

Anyone? GG?

If you have to compare the models of F-16, F/A-18C and F-15E in the game which one of them is of highest quality?

Thanks BTW post #4000 :beer: ... oh wait ^^ 19000+ !!? :)

I'm not sure how effective Tunguska would be against missile/bomb/shell targets but Tor-M1, M2-E as well as Pantsir S-1 are used for defense against such, of course they can't detect them at long distances and the hit probability should be somewhat lower compared to an aircraft-sized target. If I'm not mistaken Tor-M1 was firing against missiles in FC2, what made you change that in DCS, if it is changed at all cause I still haven't seen a definitive confirmation or denial of anti-missile capabilities?

Thanks, wasn't sure about that and in here it says just AAR-47 so I thought I should ask: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/series/warthog/?PAGEN_2=5#14594

I've seen some info on the Missile warning system modeled in DCS A-10C and it seem it's AN/AAR-47(V)2. So there is laser warning in the game, right?

Kashtan-M CIWS Firing at 1:19

Hmmm can anyone confirm this? Tor should be able to shoot such missiles. What about Pantsir S-1, is this system in DCS A-10C?

Never heard of it being developed from the A-4. AFAIK it's completely indigenous.

^^ Gave me goose bumps :)

I'm curious about some numbers guys, could tell me at what max distance you can detect a tank-sized target daytime and nighttime using the targeting pod? Also if you have noted in the game, what's the difference in distance between "I see there is something there", "I can tell it is a vehicle" and "I can definitely tell it is an Abrams". Lastly do you have some data on how these 3 systems differ in detection range IRL? One more thing, what part of the A-10C in service use Sniper XR and what part of them use Litening pod?

Now I don't know what you're trying to prove here so tenaciously but first read what the others have posted and then reply back. Let's sum it up: Ka-50 saw extremely limited production, it uses obsolete weapons - Vikhr (the russians are probably going for Hermes missiles in the upcoming years), it does not have night capabilities, except for several machines which have been tested with such equipment, but never saw serial production, Ka-50 has outdated avionics not on par with the latest developments in this field of technology. Ka-52 is completely different, it may use Ka-50 as a base but that's it, when you talk about Ka-50 leave Ka-52 out of it, they are two different helicopters with different capabilities and purpose. They might look alike but so do Su-27 and Su-35, this similarity is only superficial, what lies under the hood is important. And yes Ka-50 might be very maneuverable, it may be able to fly backwards and sideways fast, etc. etc. But before all we are talking about military attack helicopters here so the most important thing about them is to operate night and day in different meteorological conditions, to be able to search for and find targets and to destroy such from a safe distance avoiding getting shot down in the process. Doing so requires advanced avionics and weapons. Ka-50 simply lacks those. Ka-50 is pretty much dead, Mi-28N and Ka-52 have taken its place and you can be pretty sure there won't be any new Ka-50s manufactured.

"Now" in conversion for TuAF? What are you talking about? This was years ago when Ka-50-2 Erdogan was participating in a competition for a new Turkish helicopter, a competition which A129 Mangusta won. So no, there won't be any Ka-50-2 Erdogan in service.

There are many one time events that's not the point, this is a news thread not a history thread. Furthermore we have a dedicated photos and videos thread so stick to the topics, no need to spam random videos everywhere.

Check again the thread's title, you just posted 50-years old news. :doh:

Thanks GG that multiple launch is awesome! damn obstructing rep system...

I think they are Sparrows, AAM-4s have shorter frontal fins. AAM-4: :laugh: :thumbup:
