    Unfortunately I've just spend about an hour going up against tanks with the A-10C 30mm. Even engaging at long range I get hit extremely quickly knocking out the CICU, gun and maybe an engine. I even got hit at 1.5nm in a climbing turn by a T-72's 12.7mm. It's pretty frustrating as I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be this way. They detect my presence really quickly and get first rounds hits within a second of detection.
  2. Release of 2.0 in 2014 has been mentioned several times now and there's really not much left of the year! Can't wait! Hmmm I wonder what the Hornet specific map will be. If I had to guess, it would be somewhere that made good use of the existing ground units, where a carrier can sail too, and is reasonably topical....
  3. I can't wait for the big September update! I'm also wondering why the 109 doesn't get a forum of it's own yet?
  4. Nicely done guys! Can't wait for it's release over the next couple of months.
  5. First comes EDGE, then comes ALL the maps! *fist punch*
  6. The soundtrack does a great job at reflecting the mood. It sounds like it was written by Fascism itself. I vote don't change it.
  7. Worked fantastically, thanks for putting this together. Now I just need to figure out an interesting way to give away my spare P-51D key to a fellow member of my group.
  8. He said this isn't a build that has bug fixes. That's 2.0.0.
  9. Awesome, thank you for upgrading the electronic distribution tech! I downloaded at full line speed for the first time!
  10. So I just wanted to post this here, it's a mission we played on Saturday and it features the Integrated Air Defence script. We have a couple of KA-50's and a couple of A-10C's and we were heavily dependent upon the SU-25T SEAD flight being able to suppress the AD. We were up against SA-6, SA-8, SA-15s, SA-18s and SA-19s with EWR and a SA-10 blocking any flight further north-west. Without this script the AI are pretty predictable and you can guarantee that the radar is going to stay on and ensure you get the kill. But now with this script most of them are off until you have flown overhead. The EWR off in the distance gives the IAD all the information it needs to turn on SAMs that are within striking range and then you're in a world of trouble. Combined with the threat of a SAMbush is the complication that the radar will turn off either randomly or when the engagement is no longer possible. With a limited number of HARMs on hand a bit of team work and co-ordination is now required. Great stuff. So thank you Grimes and everyone else who has made reusable scripting enhancements to DCS!
  11. Can that panel be a little lower to completely block the HUD?
  12. when I receive my P-51D key I won't actually need it since I already bought it. Can I just give or sell that to someone else, or is it tied to my account in some way?
  13. For sure, but I was thinking of 3d modelers and flight modelers tasks...
  14. The real thing worth discussing is what these new developers are going to work on after WWII is finished!? DCS: WWI? DCS: 1969?
  15. I'd looooove for there to be a fully featured DCS: Vietnam 196X (not sure which year to choose!)
  16. BF109 purely on the looks!
  17. Hmmmm I upped my pledge so I wouldn't have to choose as it's just a bit too hard. I would always be wondering what the others are like to fly and fight in. I'm a big fan so that makes sense to me. If I had to choose two (excluding the P-51D I already own), I would go for the Spitfire and the P-47. I love the spitfire but it will probably be a beyond me to control and the P-47 looks to be a beast at ground attack.
  18. Hell yeah! Damn now we just need the multi crew, the plane and the map!
  19. Yep I stop a turn with a touch of a single wheel brake.
  20. do take into account that many people's pledges have not changed significantly. Only some of the ones that were outrageously undervalued have changed and they are still a very good deal. I think that many people will be kicking themselves when Normandy is available for maybe $40 + each aircraft is $50 and they didn't get in on the Kickstarter. Also, people have sufficiently low expectations when RRG failed that progress and updates by ED are viewed as good news from a low point, not bad news coming down from on a high expectation...
  21. All that above + you could press F2 and zoom out a bit to see where you are...
  22. So I was having fun doing a convoy escort mission by myself but on our multiplayer server... This pretty much ended the mission :( I had been careful to avoid a route that included railway bridges because of the teleport issue but this is unavoidable!
  23. Having spent $215 as a backer it would be a little silly if someone who is a backer of $20 could get any other module for only $20 at their choosing...
