Hi, although I haven't used it myself yet, there seem to be a very good MH-60R helicopter Mod that implements ASW using MK46 unguided and MK54 homing torpedoes. See : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cWuCRfE_Npqpx3HPwlp4XY5AeMcj6zzL The Mod was updated recently (November 30th), as well as its manual to work with DCS 2.9. This Mod has a surface search radar, a sophisticated dipping sonar and dropped sonobuoys to search submarines underwater also. It features a armement console, etc. It can also be used for CSAR ops, with a diver dropped by winch and cable, that you can direct to the rescue target. Also an auto-hover feature, laser aiming, etc. The M54 homing torpedoes, once dropped, run along a spiral track to search for the submarine, which has been located by triangulation, using the sonobuoys dropped by the console operator on the armement console. Has anybody used that Mod already ? Enjoy !

Perfect ! Thanks !......

Sigh ! The download link provided there says the Mod file was deleted

Hi Enoy, there are 2 different versions of the Sea Ceptor (aka CAMM "Common Anti-Air Modular Missile"). The initial CAAM, which was developed by MBDA for the British armed forces, includes a naval version called "Sea Ceptor", fitted on the type 23 frigates, and a CAMM-ER developed later for the Italian Navy. Their characteristics are different (see details here : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Anti-Air_Modular_Missile and https://www.seaforces.org/wpnsys/SURFACE/Sea-Ceptor-CAMM.htm). As far as I can see, Currenthill implemented the initial CAMM version for his type 26 Mod, whereas Admiral used the CAMM-ER one for the type 23 frigates. Their mass (99 or 160 kg) and ranges (25 or 45 km) are different. That's about it. I don't know if the type 23 are retrofitted with the CAMM-ER version. Enjoy !

Hi, you may have a look at this Mod, from Aplion, released early September, and concerning the Greek and Turkish versions of the MEKO frigate, including the Barbaros ship : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3332849/

Hi Marroux, nice shot ! I must say that because the ships wake is what can be seen first from very far, I always use your lods.ship_wake updates to have a better effect in DCS, from my point of view. See my previous screenshots. Thanks Marroux !

Hi Ivan, yes, I'm just looking in that direction... Thanks ! Edit : yes it is the VSN F-35B with a RN livery. Very nice Mod !

Hi Admiral, nice shots ! Which F-35 B Mod is this one displayed on the deck, and which livery , please ? Looks really nice ! Anybody knows ? Thanks !

Beware of AShM !... Thanks Admiral for your great Mods!

Looking forward to your new Mods, because I currently use many of your helicopters on naval units. Thanks Damien !

Hi, As far as I know, Damientrix has produced many superb French helicopters (Alouette 2 and 3, Dauphin, Fennec, Super Frelon, Puma, Panther, NH90), and some trucks, buggies, pickups, and motorcycles, with many liveries. There are many trucks and tanks also in the French Pack, but I don't know if it is compatible with the last DCS versions. Enjoy

Very impressive, indeed... Many thanks for this one, and for all your Mods !

Hi Marroux, very good news ! As I mentioned above, no more hull numbers and markings now on the French Navy ships. And I prefer black navigation deck windows (see screenshot below). Many thanks to Aplion for his superb Greek Navy Mods !

Hi Aplion, I recently discovered your Mods, and I really like them. Very nice job ! I appreciate particularly the FDI Belharra ships. One sidenote about them : the French version (which 1st ship will be commissioned in 2025) does not have the aft RIM 116 lancher that exists on the Greek version. It also uses Exocet missiles instead of Harpoons. Further, the French Navy decided recently to erase all specific identification markings, so there are no more hull numbers and ships name. Next, there are no helo parking defined in the LUA file. So, no helo can be attached as static on the FDI so far. This is very easy to implement by adding 2 lines in the LUA file, which I did (see screenshot below). Do you think all these can be implemented ? Many thanks. As a general comment, I rather find the navigation deck windows more realistic if colored in black, which I implemented for the FDI and the Roussen, but couldn't for the MEKO frigates. Sigh. Thanks for your help. Very nice work, many thanks !

Tout à fait exact : la SER (Surface Equivalente Radar) ou RCS (Radar Cross Section) pour les anglophones est la caractéristique d'un solide à réfléchir une onde radar. De la meme façon qu'un rayon lumineux (qui est aussi une onde électromagnétique) est plus ou moins réfléchi par une surface quelconque. Plus la SER est élevée, plus l'onde est réfléchie. Donc, plus le solide est détectable au radar. Tout le travail sur la furtivité consiste donc à réduire au maximum cette SER. Par exemple en adoptant des formes courbes qui réfléchissent une partie des ondes radar vers le haut ou le bas, et non pas vers le radar émetteur. D'où les formes très particulières des fuselages des F22, F35, B1B, B2 américains, etc. Les formes des superstructures des navires de guerre sont également adaptées pour cela.

Hi, I don't have any crash either, using the last Open Beta. It' probably a Mod conflict if you experience any. I love your OSA class ships, Admial ! Many thanks for all your superb naval Mods !

Hi CurrentHill, Thanks for all your superb Mods ! Any chance we get some day one of these two Black Sea hovercraft catamarans, known as Project 1239 "Bora" class corvette ? See : https://russianships.info/eng/warships/project_1239.htm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bora-class_corvette

Pas sur que je retrouve ces fichiers...

Pareil pour moi !.... Merci aux Cuesta Bros pour leur superbe Rafale, et vivement la version 2.8.x !.... Merci !....

Hi Crud, the Adams class destroyers were in service during the cold war period, in the 60-70's, and the Sovremenny during the 80's.... Concerning the "modern ships", there are great Mods for the T45, Aquitaine, Gorshkov ships, etc. Enjoy !

Bonjour, il y a un fichier plus haut dans ce thread appelé "WEAPONS_AIR_AIR.lua" par Serval, qui modifie de manière plus réaliste le comportement de l'armement du Rafale, en particulier du Meteor. Par ailleurs, pour utiliser les nouveaux missiles, il faut suppimer tous les anciens loadout pour éviter les conflits dans DCS. Fly low !.... Par ailleurs, j'espère que les Cuesta Bros sont toujours sur le pont, car ils nous avaient parlé d'une version 2.8.x il y a plusieurs mois, que nous sommes tous impatients de piloter !.... Merci d'avance....

Thanks Oban ! I believe Admiral has a good Exocet launcher and missile, which he used for his superb Aquitaine frigate.

Hey Admiral, please, don't forget the italo-french design frigate Forbin (aka Andrea Doria), which is the main AA platform for the Charles de Gaulle carrier group.... Many thanks !

Thanks Sushy !
