I know DCS is primarily a flight simulator, but I love playing with Combined Arms, especially online with friends. The best moments we have are when one or two players are flying attack aircraft while the rest of us are driving on the ground, fighting our way through and calling for air support. This experience gave me an idea—a suggestion that could potentially bring more new players to DCS! Buying a HOTAS is expensive for many potential newcomers, but everyone already has a mouse and keyboard. I’d even bet that most people are already familiar with controlling vehicles using them. My suggestion is simple: Add an American Humvee and a Russian Tigr as free ground units. Imagine this scenario: A new DCS player is enjoying their time flying an A-10 or has just learned how to fly the Su-25T with their new HOTAS. Now, they’re trying to convince their friends to give DCS a shot. However, there’s resistance because their friends don’t even own a basic joystick, let alone a HOTAS. But now, those friends have the option to play as a Humvee or Tigr driver. The player with the plane can create missions where ground units have to survive a battlefield or navigate through dangerous terrain. Their non-flying friends can hop in and play with ease using just a keyboard and mouse while experiencing the incredible scale of DCS. In this scenario, they see their friend flying overhead, dropping bombs, helping them survive, and performing thrilling gun runs dangerously close to the action. What will these players think? What will they want to do next? You guessed it — they’ll want to try flying the Su-25T or even go all in and purchase an A-10, F-16, F-18, or another aircraft module. I believe DCS World has immense, untapped potential for gameplay with ground units. Adding free, accessible ground vehicles for new players to explore could make DCS far less intimidating for beginners. Once they’re hooked on the immersive experience, they’ll naturally want to take to the skies in an aircraft. So that’s my suggestion. What do you think?

Hi! I'm the squadron commander of the A-10s in my group, JTF-13. Recently just started the squad back up and I am in need of people to fill it up and give the Hog some presence in our missions and events. Whether you are new and have never touched the module, or a years-long veteran, we are happy to take you on board. It is a laid back community with very relaxed expectations. No mandatory time commitments or training stuff. In game, we do have the milsim-lite structure that most people want in these, such as tactical comms work, realistic flight plans and sortie orders in wings. We run missions almost every week, and even have special events such as running a month long RIMPAC and Red Flag in various times of the year, as well as our own private campaigns. Joining my A-10s will help give variety to these missions and make things more fun for everyone. https://hub.jtf13.com/ hope to see new faces soon!
