Kippy Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 In the last few weeks, I've been picking through my brain thinking of a potential next theater for DCS. As Strait of Hormuz is steadily inching closer to release, I thought it may be a good time to make a strong suggestion. I present my suggestion to the DCS community: DCS: Kaliningrad Oblast. Whilst brainstorming potential maps, I decided there was one primary prerequisite that would allow a map to sell well: Being a site of plausible real-world conflict between "interesting" countries. Kaliningrad Oblast is exactly that. I do not wish to discuss the probability of such a conflict within this region, or hypothesize why or how it could happen due to the extreme political nature, but military conflict between interesting countries could occur there, and you can take that to the bank. Kalinigrad Oblast would make a great DCS map for a few reasons. A map presenting a plausible battlefield between major world powers would sell well. Kaliningrad Oblast is home to many pieces of modern military hardware. Territory nearby Kaliningrad Oblast is home to many peices of modern military hardware that are angry at the pieces of military hardware inside Kaliningrad Oblast. This region is the site of many military operations in the current world. Rivet Joints love snooping around Kaliningrad. To support my claim that this map would be great for realistic scenarios and DCS World, I've provided a few satellite graphics of military hardware within Kaliningrad from a source of mine who helps us create missions for my virtual squadron. These satellite pictures were retrieved from an open source and analyzed by 163rd VFS Staff members. 163rd vFS Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out!
flanker1 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 what a great idea!!!!! would love to see it one day within dcs. . .
Kippy Posted December 5, 2017 Author Posted December 5, 2017 it's really boring terrain, pretty much flat NTTR is pretty hilly yet many players find it boring. 163rd vFS Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out!
Hyperion35 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 It would be even better if it included a bit of Sweden and maybe parts of the nearby Polish and Lithuanian coastline. This would allow for some good Cold War era missions and campaigns as well, and it would be perfect for the Viggen. For that matter, this could even be used for WWII missions along the Eastern Front. So really, this area could really allow for the entire range of DCS aircraft. 1
