I think you are pretty close to the idea of ED's plan. Just guessing of course but look at what has been released now. What is coming.
F5 Tiger II has been release. Used by Iranians.
F-14A coming which again is used by Iranians.
F/A-18C coming to play NATO side. Mirage 2000C. UAE etc.
SOH map coming for all these modules to fight a war in. Now figure those ground units, SAMs etc. to be put in there as well in order to add to the atmosphere of the map/fight server.
I imagine ships/naval aspects will be coming as well at some time in order to compliment the above modules.
ED is slowly putting the pieces of puzzle together in order to give us a very big canvas to paint on. :)
First though, must get DCS World up to 2.5 standard. One version, stable and ready to go. They are getting there, just a bit longer. :joystick:
