    RPG vs. Helos

    I think that he was probably referring to the recent developments in drone technology/AI. Eventually you could have large UAV helicopter drones carrying the same firing solutions and perform a similar job than combat helicopters without having to risk pilot's lives and spend the money to train them. This said, you can potentially jam drones, not a pilot's brain so we will see.
  2. Ideally, I would say any map that has been the theater of conflicts between airforces since the cold war until recently (historical), or maps of regions where it is not unreasonable to believe that there could be a conflict in the future( what if scenarios). So considering we already have Egypt/Israel/Syria, I would say Vietnam, Iraq, Korea, India/Pakistan, South Africa/Namibia, Yugoslavia, Turkey/Greece, Armenia/Azerbaidjan, South China sea/Taiwan. I may have forgotten some. However it is just my opinion but I would favour the ones that would meet the following criteria : 1) the map that would make use of the most of existing and confirmed aircrafts in development for DCS. 2) a map with elevation (mountains, hills) for "gameplay" reasons (more interesting, gives more chances to less capable aircrafts) instead of "another desert map" with lots of flat terrain 3) preferaby landscapes that look more different/exotic compared to what we already have. So for me I think that Vietnam would be my pick all things considered. Not sure how smooth the performances would be with so many trees, but if this difficulty can be overcome, I think it would be a great addition in my view, especially since I find cold war aircrafts more interesting to fly in general.

    I agree with you, however there is a system called BKO President-S that is designed to give more protection against manpads threats. Future evolutions of such a system could perhaps prolong the use of helicopters as frontline gunship units.

    A new love

    Not that it will add anything to the discussion or that I have any hope for it since the devs said no, but I am also of the opinion that a Mirage 2000-5 would have been a fantastic addition. To me it meant I would actually fly the Mirage again... Just my feedback/opinion as a buyer since that is the purpose of a forum. I own the current module, it is no doubt pleasant to fly but I never use it anymore because once you complete the offline campaign, it is close to being my last choice online since it is too old for all the modern servers due to carrying only 4 missiles/2 fox1, whilst too new for cold war servers where it is usually not flyable and not particularly useful for air-to-ground either compared to alternatives. I just fly it if I really want a challenge, usually sneaking in the mountains though I get more satisfaction doing that with even older a/c (ie: mig21 ) but that's just me. From my point of view, it would definitely add value since it would suddenly become a lot more popular. Isn't the point of adding value to make it more in demand and more used? Would become more interesting to play offline too due to being more competitive against the existing modules which opens the possibility for more scenarios. With most modules in DCS, we often get some of the more capable versions instead of the early/worst ones. If ED would have released F/A18A from pre-1987 or F16A, no doubt that many people would request a more sophisticated version with the better radar and fox3s.
  5. I doubt it because the devs have expressed in the past that they would love to make a HF Mig-29 and some preliminary work was probably done on it. I didn't see an official statement stating that they would never do it, did you ? Maybe there is still some hope for an exported version ? Personally, I will support the company by buying some maps (and perhaps 1-2 more existing modules I lack) but I am not interested in more modern blue side modules anymore, so I have high expectations for the Mig-23. Hopefully by then (next year early access ?), prospects for a HF 29 will be brighter. I would buy new cold war planes like Drakken, Kfir, or Panavia Tornado but I regret like you that almost all announced future projects are blue side planes. However if it is legal reasons blocking the devs, there is not much we can do. They probably do prioritize pleasing the western audience for commercial reasons (like a certain other sim who went for other theatres instead of finishing the one they were supposed to fully represent) but on the other hand, the Mig-29 would certainly sell very well, maybe not as much as the F15 SE or F16 but would still make decent sales figures in my opinion.
  6. Mig23 and the Mirage F1 is guaranteed buy for me. Hopefully we will able to fly the Mig23 in 2022, cannot wait. We really need more Soviet aircrafts high fidelity, my wet dream is Mig31 (OMG if only.. even a Mig25 would be so awesome) and Mig29 high fidelity but i'll settle for a Mig23 on the short term , best of luck in your work
  7. Indeed you are right, it is very likely that it is linked to this (server was probably in late afternoon, i dont remember exactly) and perhaps also due to lag on that particular server i was on because lately i gave it another try and i didn't have this issue
  8. Well we still have the issue on the Georgia at War server. It seems like the HAWK Sam system when deployed by a helicopter ( CTLD ) do not really work for some reasons. Maybe it is a server issue? but it would be nice to know for sure what exactly is the cause.
  9. That is for me really a fantastic news to learn that you are still working on the Mig21, I really hope that we will see an update of it, I would pay for that like i paid for the A10CII or the BlackShark update. Please make it happen, this module is really special in many ways and thank you for sharing this info.
  10. Same issue but with Mi8 as i only flew that so far, since this new patch now i crashed three times in a row after some time in GAW. I was almost never crashing before. I did all the usual stuff, delete fxo, metashaders and reset the shaders in AMD control panel, but something is very wrong for me with this patch on open beta, i need to go back to stable.
  11. I have the same issue with Petrovic being blind, cannot find targets even though i can see them myself very obviously within range parameters, it is really random, sometimes he sees them if i am dangerously high, but if i am below 500meters i have serious problems, lately i could not lock anything so i made a test flew on purpose to commit suicide on it and he couldnt see the target until the last moment as i crashed into it online, his aiming cross on the hud was always right on the target but he refused to see it. Right now it means i cannot fly the Hind online until i figure out if it is my mistake ( maybe i damaged the gyros? but i made sure i didnt so not sure) or if something needs to be adjusted by the devs, offline it seems to work ok for the most part.
  12. I do not own WWI modules in DCS but based on my very old experience on another simulator in the early-mid 2000s ( Cheers Oleg! ), isn't the K-4 supposed to have not so good elevator authority beyond 550-600 km/h and a slow roll at high speed like most 109s? If true, then it should give some allied planes like a Mustang or a P-47 an advantage if they make sure to have enough altitude and never fall below 350mph? MW50 is limited to a few minutes right?
  13. Would be an instant buy for me, glad to read that they are still working on it.
  14. Honestly, it will not be nice to say but I would agree with Snappy. Out of all the modules I have, it is probably the one I use the least by far ( and basically almost never use now) due to its limited capabilities and no updates or variants. The module itself is decent, don't get me wrong, it is a really nice aircraft to fly, you get great pilot sensations as it is not FBW. It is definitely a good module to have and if you value this plane emotionally, you will not be disappointed, it is a piece of history. However I do not think that it is a better starting point than any other module or that it would teach you anything better. To me it does not compare favourably to several other modules which have received more consistent attention. As some people explained, Air to ground is basically WWII style and thus a lot more challenging than CCIP/CCRP on more modern jets, your loadout choice is very limited for both A2G and A2A and the aircraft is underpowered, it is not really popular online except on specific servers that restrict the planeset so once you're done with the sp campaign, it has less potential IMO if you only own this module. Some modules are a bit complex like the A-10 or the F-18 if you really want to master them, that is true but they are also worth the time and efforts in my opinion. But there are also modules like the Viggen , Mirage or the Tomcat which are a bit easier to get started with. The Harrier is also really interesting. If you have to own only one module for now, i think that the F5 is not the one that offers the most in "gameplay" terms.
