Tiyas Airbase (T4)

[Xoho]

Tiyas Airbase is the largest airbase in Syria, and played a key role in the Battle of Palmyra, just 34nm to the East. It would be nice to have this in game, especially since it isn't in extremely close proximity to a number of other airfields in game, and would play an even greater role as a result.

 

EDIT: As AeriaGloria mentioned below, this is already planned for release. Disregard this post. The map is awesome so far! Good job Ugra Media, you knocked it out of the park.

But they weren't included on release, which makes this a legitimate thread.

Great news!

 

Tiyas AB was also where the USSR deployed Soviet Naval Aviation Tu-16s during the Cold War. Usually just a pair. One would come out every 3-4 days to conduct a Maritime Patrol over the East Med. In 1987, my squadron (VF-32/F-14s) got an intercept on one looking for the carrier.

 

DCS doesn't have Tu-16s…but substitute an Su-24 Fencer, jump into a Heatblur F-14…it would be the same thing!

And Syrian Mig-25s were based there too.

So will it be included eventually or no?

The current version of Syria is missing two important airfields within the detailed area of the map. My guess is that the map will be refined and expanded with time (like PG), and more airports will be added.
