Wizz Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Hi all. I wanted to share something that I think would make DCS World a much more dynamic and challenging flight simulator, and that is the addition of a few more AAA units. Specifically, the introduction of a range of gun/artillery systems that both increase lethality at lower altitudes, as well as extend the non-SAM lethal altitude above the current 23mm systems, would be fantastic, and really give pilots a chance to fly through a more deadly and rounded IADS. The kinds of gun and artillery systems I think would work are: ZPU-4 (or single/double barrelled systems) I acknowledge this is somewhat covered by current in game 23mm systems 37 mm automatic air defense gun M1939 (61-K) 57 mm AZP S-60 85 mm air defense gun M1939 (52-К) 100 mm air defense gun KS-19 I recently visitied the B-52 victory museum in Hanoi (highly recommended for any Linebacker II enthusiasts) and snapped the attached photos of these very systems lined up. For someone without a coding bone in his body, I would be appreciative of any insight into how realistic a project like this might be. While I couldn't do the work myself, I would be more than happy to investigate funding perhaps a single system if it was not a laborious project (again, I have no idea!). I know Beczl attempted to build some AAA systems before *that* issue occurred, but otherwise I haven't found anything out there. Anyway, just my two cents worth! :) Happy to hear from the experts on how feasible this is, and thoughts on how it might (or might not) improve the game.
skendzie Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Flying low is deadly enough. Especially with every BMP machine gunner with an Olympic Gold medal in shooting and nerves of steel to fire accurately under fire. I would be for more variety if the AI missed more. It seems like anything under 2000m and you get picked apart by ground MGs.
