Sport Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 I think its a little silly that certain countries who have historically used units (or variants of them) that we have in DCS don't have them assigned correctly. Case in point: F-4E for UK, USA M60 Patton for USA MiG-21 for Vietnam There are others, to be sure, but these really stand out in my head, particularly for making era-specific missions, such as Cold War scenarios, in which all of the more modern aircraft we have available in DCS took part in... It shouldn't be too difficult of a change to make? 1 Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch! Have a listen to the Alert 5 Podcast - YOUR source for the latest combat flight simulation news!
Exorcet Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Just FYI, this is why USAF Aggressors was added as a country, to allow any unit to go anywhere. It would still be nice to see more expanded lists for other nations as well.

Not sure of the country code to put in the description.lua Additionally, it would be nice to have a "Russian Agressors" country coalition for the same purpose... Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

Paganus Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 As I've said before in other threads where this has been discussed, it would be great to have a new unit filter selection system instead of the current country based way. The only thing the country should control is the skin and comms. Maybe someday. They have a lot on their plate at the moment.

F-4E never enter on service on UK, require a F-4M GR.2 to the RAF and F-4M(F.1) and F-4J(F.3) to Royal Navy (F-4E new 3D model on progress by ED) M-60 tank has depleted, wait to a new 3D model on progress.

I'm aware of which variant of F-4 served in the RAF and RN, but for the purposes of "simulation" it would be nice to take advantage of the skins available for it. Considering we don't have a timeline for the updated unit models from ED, it would be nice for the existing models to have correct or at least "simulation correct" assignments 1 Come check me out on YouTube!
