Also, a lot of people just find steam gauges, iron bombs, and getting up-close and NoE to hit your target more interesting than punching in coordinates and dropping murder bots from 30k ft, 20nm away

Hi all,    we have made it very clear the date is subject to change, internal testing continues and if we need more time we will take it, I think most of you want 2.7 to be the best it can b

I'm sorry to nitpick, but DCS is so much more than a game ... it's the best flight Simulator available to consumers 🙂

Great to see the S-60 57 mm AAA in the newsletter. The most important anti-aircraft gun of the Cold War.

 

I first asked for it on this forum 15 years ago, so it is nice to finally get it 🙂

 

Definitely agreed! It's great that we're slowly getting some more era-consistency between units - finally something for the F-86F and MiG-15bis.

 

The question now though is when will we actually see them come? I don't want to be a downer but there's plenty of new models and assets that have been teased and are present in the screenshots, but months/years later still not in.

 

The other thing is I wonder is whether or not we'll get an FCR for it namely the SON-9 "Grom-2" or the RPK-1 "Vase" and associated components.

Great job sharing those renders ED! Thank you for the new units. Hey, that ZSU-52-2 looks like it's already protecting some Cypriot haystack rolls! Next week then?

I doubt it, maybe 2022 or 2023. Still waiting for the SA-5 that was teased awhile ago and no news on that other than the renders. I really was hoping for the ZSU-52 and S-60 mod but that died ages ago.

There goes my hope fo a full DCS Mig29 or Su27:( Yet another American module.

 

At least the Apache has effectively a peer counterpart with the Ka-50, though has far superior sensors and is fully night capable.

I always thought the peer counterpart to the AH-64 is the Mi-28.

If you wanna be precise about it sure, but as it now stands there is now a modern, capable attack helicopter on both sides.
