Winterz Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Well ED is modeling SA-2, which is used by Iran so Im pretty sure we will see some new units to fit this theater. :)
shagrat Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 i hope we get to see some insurgent type units: - insurgent fighters with ak47 and RPGs - snipers - technicals with various heavy machine guns - field-modified humvees etc. - mortar teams ^This... and civilians, on foot, more civilian cars especially "unarmed" Pick-ups etc. so Mission Designers get the possibility to create scenarios were ROEs really matter.:thumbup: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 11 | Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 64GB | GeForce RTX 4090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)

Don't say "Iran invades Dubai." :megalol:
Esac_mirmidon Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Ranger79 Objects Mod Pack has already almost everything you mention, except the Snipers. Take a look at this mod. Also DCS has Insurgents with AK fine modelled. " You must think in russian.."

CheckGear Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Forget ground units - if war breaks out in the Strait of Hormuz, it's going to primarily be an air-sea war, save for land-based anti-ship and ballistic missiles and air defenses. What I want to see is more commercial air and sea traffic to simulate the crowded nature of the region's airspace and waters. That's where the ROEs are really going to matter and they matter every day in the real world. Save the insurgent/terrorist-hunting for the Caucasus or a potential Syria map.
Weta43 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Wishlistish, but a third neutral coalition would be handy for that shipping,,, Cheers.

shagrat Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Ranger79 Objects Mod Pack has already almost everything you mention, except the Snipers. Take a look at this mod. Also DCS has Insurgents with AK fine modelled.We do not talk about mods. I fixed the technicals from Rangers Mod to a more reasonable version with corrected speed, armor, turn radius, acceleration and with proper Dshk (not just reshaped Humvees) and added some simple "insurgents" (just retextured Paratroopers so they don't look like wearing all the same uniform)... But we need this in DCS core. Independent of the map and everybody installing "mods" or having issues passing integrity checks. And most definitely a third neutral coalition and civilians to model asymmetric conflicts with their complex ROEs. That is what mostly shapes today's conflicts.

Esac_mirmidon Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 The best option is adding those units to the core game, of course, but is a good resource. " You must think in russian.."

shagrat Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 The best option is adding those units to the core game, of course, but is a good resource.Yes, definitely. No offense meant. Just that I would see a set of typical insurgents and technicals in the core sim... The Hescos and other barriers would be fantastic as well. :) Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 11 | Ryzen 9 7900X3D | 64GB | GeForce RTX 4090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
MBot Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Here are a couple of units which I think would be relevant for air-naval operations in this theater: -CSS-C-3 Seersucker shore launched anti-ship missile (Iran) -Hwasong-5 Scud-B SSM (Iran and UAE) -Rapier short-range SAM (Iran and UAE) -RBS-70 short-range SAM (Iran and UAE) -Bofors L/70 40mm AAA (Iran and UAE)
fargo007 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 The structures are every bit as important. Being able to place buildings of various shapes and kinds is just as huge in mission design as the enemy targets & personnel. Right now all we have is the caucasus looking stuff which is great on that map, but out of place anywhere else. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/

Right now all we have is the caucasus looking stuff which is great on that map, but out of place anywhere else.There are actually some very nice shacks, huts and other from stone, that look pretty convincing as arab style buildings... Only the textures are totally outdated and low. Though I wouldn't mind some detailed middle east / afghan compounds, and definitely HESCOs, prefab accommodation etc. for better FOBs or outposts.

fargo007 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 We do have hescos and some of the other stuff via mods. Even the default map buildings would be cool to have as positionable objects. Most of what I use NTTR for is pretending it's afghanistan. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/

Most of what I use NTTR for is pretending it's afghanistan.Mods don't work well in Multiplayer and Mission building. You can use the default map buildings with a script, but it would be nice to have all these buildings, hescos, prefabs, civilians, civilan cars/PickUps and Insurgent Technicals directly integrated as DCS assets. I tried to include some stuff from mods into a particular Multiplayer mission a while ago. It is very inconvenient. As soon as somebody "new" joins, he needs to have all the mods installed...

Silvern Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 We will really need some Iranian navy ships in DCS if we're gonna have this map. AND ground based anti-ship assets.
