Mate, it takes forever to get to any mission online. Most of the places are blasted to hell by the time I get there. You must really enjoy long flight times without combat.

RAZBAM does not reply to general queries in this forum anymore. They enjoy using discord more where they can just tell people whatever they want to hear. I asked earlier here if they are planning any support for Supercarrier module but they didn’t bother to reply.
Regarding your question, RAZBAM has promised a lot of modules and have too many projects in their pipeline. Quantity over quality is their attitude so far. I’m sure they have the harrier 2 shoved somewhere within their pipeline too.
-
That is just poor file management. I hope ED can solve this issue since the game is already rather large when Maps are downloaded but now we also have to worry about duplicated assets.

Huh? Not only is it totally possible to set it up as a key bind, there are totally situations when you need to switch programs quickly.
I’m beaming an AMRAAM and want to use my two buckets efficiently I’ll do single release chaff. But wait if I’m beaming that means the enemy is closing with their AIM-9X, in which case at some point it’ll be wisest to switch to single release flare unless I have enough flares to waste on a combined program.
With two buckets of flares, I’m going with single release and switching programs. Only way to survive for more then two minutes
Fun little scenario however, the jet simply does not have enough thrust or top speed to casually drop single chaff and notch AMRAAM. If you have not traded missiles then it is time to go defensive and get out. If enemy is at the AIM-9X range then they will have seekerhead and radar both locked at you. Simply dumping flares won’t help because they will just launch another one afterwards using radar lock so it is best to dump both chaff and flare together.
Also notice that the jet does not carry lots of chaff and flares. They don’t expect you to linger around for too long. I suppose in the DCS environment where safety and proper procedures do not exist, having quick swappable program buttons is probably handy.
-
Since the function consists within the MFCD, I doubt it is possible to Set it up as a simple keybind. Also you are suppose to set a profile before entering combat zone. Switching profile mid combat might work for a specialised jet like A-10 which was designed to linger in the combat zone but JF-17 has different method of attack. More like a viggen when attacking ground.
I am not even going to pretend you mean to swap countermeasure profiles mid air combat.

I like carrier ops but I am also holding back on this. Producing more early access content so they can have funds to continue developing previously released early access content is making me come back to DCS lesser and lesser. I am not getting any younger and the argument about if you don’t like early access then wait till it is released does not really apply here since majority of content in DCS is early access.
P.S. watch how the mods merge this thread with the discussion thread as they have done with other negative ones on here.
-
I agree, all other countries modules default to their primary real world use skin so I think we should have Pakistani skin allowed on all the factions.
-
Well that puts my wallet back into my pocket.
My commitment was to buy the module when the cockpit textures are better and now that it is on hold im not gonna buy it until its done.
Im sorry but AAR is not on my priority list but that decision is not up to me. Good luck though with the update :thumbup:
Cool beans. Razbam is more your type of developers mate. Check them out. Very good looking modules.
-
Great news. Looking forward it. Additionally, will adding or removing the probe have any affect at all on the flight profile of the jet?
-
It was on sticky section until like 2 weeks ago when they decided to sink it. Maybe it was by mistake or maybe the developers could explain if they will no longer use this thread and lock it.
-
This is honestly the worse time to open a poll since with the current release of the unknown Supercarrier module, everyone will vote for naval jets. I personally do not want another naval jet but something from another nation other than USA.
-
Happy new year to the drunk Deka team.
-
So are we not going to get any official response from RAZBAM regarding this or are they only active in discord these days?
I wanted to know if they had any plans for the super carrier and their jump jets.
-
It is simple, If you do not own either F/A-18 and or F-14 then this module is of no actual use to you other than look pretty. It was developed with F/A-18 in mind primarily so expect full support for it and F-14 is compatible with the help from Heatblur.
Jump jets and helos can probably land on it like any other free carrier but no real simulation provided for them.

This is really good news! Once ED showcases some actual gameplay footage and provide additional clarity regarding deck crew, I will definitely get the supercarrier module.
-
Perhaps I shouldn't have said the JF-17 is so incredibly good, but rather that the SD-10 can outperform the AIM-120C (from what I've seen, anyways), and this has gotten me rather excited; it's not a Russian missile, but it's still red. Apologies if I was misunderstood.
Did you try the SD-10 missile yourself yet? In actual DCS combat scenario the AIM-120C and this missile are barely any different.
The fact is that ED quickly "Improved" their AIM-120C in just around 2 weeks after SD-10 was introduced. Between that time they said that it is a very long process to do another full research and they will not touch it before the new API is out.
One missile is properly researched and developed and other is a quick patch job. We need to wait for the new missile API first and then we can have these types of talks.
-
But we have no guarantee that this will all be available upon the launch of the supercarrier module. What are the chances of F-14 to be supported from day one?
-
I appreciate you guys developing this however I need to see more than just text which can always be changed further down the line. Will get this once I see more in videos showcasing the functions and features that are actually finished.
Spending food money, as everyone is calling it, is not the problem for me. I just want to actually see what is already availabe at launch and how much of the text is to be developed at later timeframe.
-
Definitely, would love to get proper carrier support from Razbam as well just like how Heatblur are getting involved with SC module.
-
Harriers don't operate from supercarriers anyways AFAIK.
You are right. There were some tests on them but nothing came from it. This is why I was curious if there was any possibility for Tarawa to have animated crew but this is completely upto Razbam.
Hope to get some reply from the developers when they return from their holidays.
-
Like OP said, this jet can perform quite well in battle against other nato jets. The mentions of any mass killing of any adversary is just a fanboy claim.
The immature replies such as "this can kill that" jibberish should not be taken seriously and ignored.
In DCS we should all admire the developers efforts to simulation and not focus on what jet is better than what while stating unprovable claims.
Please do not be dragged into pointless topic battle with obvious fanboys, this will never end. If you guys really want to prove your claims to each other so badly, do it in PvP match and not over the forums.
-
Why don't you post the whole story?
The whole story is that F-14 is in works but not confirmed if it will be supported on launch or how long it will take before the tomcat is properly supported. Maybe months, maybe weeks but we don’t know.
-
Yeah and ED already said that they have no plans to simulate this jet on the Supercarrier so I suppose the Tarawa carrier will not have animated deck crew.
-
I suppose the developers are still on their holidays. Or they are too afraid to look at this forum after leaving it unmoderated for weeks.
I asked about the harrier support for Supercarrier and Razbam didnt reply while Wags said that they have no plans to support it for those ships. Wonder if we will ever see crew animations for jumpjets.
I want to believe in Razbam because I love the harrier for being such a unique jet in DCS. Wishing them good luck with the carrier and harrier support for 2020.

Get the F/A-18 if you plan on enjoying the most DCS has to offer. F-14 if you are fan of iconic jet which is way outdated now but has superb simulation and feel in comparison. One is a jack of all trades, master of none while other is dedicated fighter designed for only one purpose.
Additionally you will be more engaged with the systems in the hornet while in tomcat a baby can fly since the jester AI does all the system management for you.
