Alpenwolf Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 When the Hind drops will it have some CTLD functionality or will it be used in the gunship role? Gunship role. When sometime in the far future the infantries in DCS start behaving better and become reliable the Mi-24 will carry some troops.

rossmum Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Early(ish) heaters for the 4th gens are fine IMO - just maybe limit the number available in warehousing. The R-73 is definitely too much, but since the 29 can carry R-60Ms and the MiG-23 carried R-60s as standard, that should improve things a bit. Still very capable missiles, but much shorter range, less insane turns, and easily distracted by flares. I haven't had much time to test out the F-14's earlier Sidewinders yet, I'll have to check that out later. The problem then becomes stopping the MiG-21s from trying to 'borrow' the R-60 supply. It's a shame we can't disable the Shchel-3UM (not least because ED did it wrong, it should be a monocle like the Ka-50 and not some gamey HMD overlay) - it would definitely help lessen the 29's dominance in close range fights. The reaction time that thing gives you is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder_50 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Some preparation flight on the Syria Map yesterday with Nellus ,conclusion : an amazing map, particularly for the helicopter and combined arms operations, lot of valley that are going to be the playground for some amazing dogfights and tank battles, protected Sam sites, lot of airfields with some protected shelters ( can we have the autorisation to bomb them Plz :-) ) really nice highways (roadbase here we come ) a lot of strategic objectives as warehouse, harbors, ammunition depot.... A lot of fun in perspective and the best Map in DCS by far Edited August 20, 2020 by Pathfinder_50 [DEVILS] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiromachi Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Having tested it in VR I'd recommend start with lighter mission to take into account WIP state of the map.

BonerCat Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Having tested it in VR I'd recommend start with lighter mission to take into account WIP state of the map. I've had some noticeable performance issues in Damascus area. I have to agree with Hiromachi here. The frames can drop significantly around damascus, and probably some other large towns. Middle of the desert fighting would probably be more friendly to our frames, and the civvies in damascus :thumbup: Modules: F-14, F-15C, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B N/A, MiG-29, Su-33, MiG-21 Bis, F-5E, P-51D, Ka-50, Mi-8, Sa 342, UH-1H, Combined Arms Maps and others: Persian Gulf, Syria, Normandy, WWII Assets, NS 430 + Mi-8 NS 430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder_50 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) I think it would be a good map to start integrate more variety of grounds units, like the merkava or the Russian heavy rocket launcher (forgot the name), Sa-8 codename gecko, Sa-9 gaskin, Roland SAM launcher , leopard, LAV, VAB, challenger, bmp1, bmp3, t80, TOW humvee , leclerc , zsu-23 truck and static zsu23 And the Rapier, to bring the blue size to the same mid range Sam capabilities as the red side with the sa9 if you add it Can’t wait for the new FARP models that are coming with the Kiowa Edited August 20, 2020 by Pathfinder_50 [DEVILS] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiromachi Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Most typical 1973 like combat would center around Golant heights. So BLUE gets to fly from Israel and RED gets Khalkalah AB, Mezzeh and Marj. It's not a large area but if we account for Lebanon than you can avoid combat around Damascus. Even though RED will have to cope with that on startup and takeoff :( AMD Ryzen 5900X @ 4.95 Ghz / Asus Crosshair VII X470 / 32 GB DDR4 3600 Mhz Cl16 / Radeon 6800XT / Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD / Creative SoundBlaster AE-9 / HP Reverb G2 / VIRPIL T-50CM / Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals / Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
