I personally like the grey puff, i think it looks realistic enough for an AA missile wich generally doesn't have that big of and explosive load, what I find to be a bit lacking still is the follow-up, particularly the fire effects and smoke of the planes themselves.

Chizh mentioned on a recent newsletter that they are looking to improve cansiter munitions accuracy, at least on the f-18. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=151478&page=15 and wags mentioned the issue is solved on an internal build, still not avaiable on either release or beta branch however. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=194412&page=7

Experienced this too.

Im willing to bet my left arm that people got more irked by the atempt at dictating how others should start posts and videos than by the request for models/voices itself.

Not even 3 pages in and theres already people saying 'we want it all, but make it free'.... yeah, good luck with that.

Im curious to wich exactly is your country. A 30 minutes reserve is standard for most ICAO members. And im prety sure a 747 pilot would never plan a trip with only 4 min reserve, yes, they would take the extra 6000 liters for very obvious reasons. A runway can be closed by many things other than meteorological conditions. And even if your country doesnt require you to have such reserve, it doesnt matter if you are planing on flying to one wich does have said requirement.

Just read the newsletter

Yes, ive read that thread, no word about ground units, it says modules wich i assume means aircrafts. I dont think well see it coming to CA anytime soon.

Was it ever confirmed that the new damage model will come to ground units? i cant find any post that mention this new damage model for anything other than wwII aircrafts, the only thing that gives me some hope is the fact that the wwII tanks in game have their armor values listed on the enciclopedia wich is something no other tank has (or had, have not played dcs in over a month, waiting for 2.5 :P )

Means very little if the damage model of ground units/buildings doesn't get an overhaul. We desperately need proper fragmentation modeling. The fact we are getting some flack guns on the asset pack gives me some hope that they might take action into it.

Yes, we do.

The thing about the wingman being shot down almost immediately also bugs me somewhat, doesn't matter if I'm on a p-51 or bf-109 quick mission, my wingman seem to be completely useless every single time.

Is the new damage model confirmed for ground units too? I could only find confirmation of it being developed for aircrafts, but looking at the encyclopedia, all the WWII tanks have their armor values listed, wich is something that you dont have for any of the modern tanks. Is this indication that we will have proper penetration damage modeled for ground units instead of the usual HP pool?

I remember when the spitfire was about to be released they said they where developing a new, more detailed component based damage model for aircraft, but i dont remember anything about remaking the damage models for the ground units as well.

Im sorry to go off topic, but could you tell me where you read about a revamp of the damage model for AI ground units? I dont remember seeing it in any newsletter, just curious btw :P

The troll in me would like to see a F-104 if only to read its dedicated foruns, i like most aircraft, but i could never get miself to like the 104 and cant really understand its apeal. Sure, its fast, but thats about it, it cant turn, it cant carry a whole lot of anything, and in my very very subjective opinion its one of the uglyest planes to ever fly, and to compliment that theres also the fact that a good part of its export market sucess was due to a very very good marketing campaign. Oh, i mean, bribery campaign :P. Guess it would be at least a challenging plane to fly.

Is the rearm function not implemented yet in multiplayer?

After Polychop won me over with the Gazelle, this one will be a certain purchase for me, keep up the good work guys!

Another wishlist, and we still have not a single screenshot of the viggen or the corsair yet...

An DCS L-19 would be quite something. Such a nice little plane.

Some of the most arrogant, patronizing and full of assumptions comments can be found on this thread. Everyone plays single palyer because they are afraid of going against other people. Yeah, right... Besides, even if that was the case, how that makes his point about how broken the ai can be any less valid? Probably most of the problem can be explained due to ai use of SFM, but that doesnt make it any less anoyinng when you have a plane maneuvering as new with its wing full of giant holes.

The joke flew way over some people heads on this thread.

the thing is, we dont even know if the m2000 ever fired the ARMAT in tests . So, the interface we would get to fire it would be based on what? No documentation, no nothing. It would be purely fictional system, which goes pretty much against the whole point of creating a realistic simulator.

really... some people see just what they want to see.
