twistking Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Nice surprise to have some of the WWII units now free for all. I understand that the idea is probably to give users a better glimpse of DCS WWII with their aircraft module, but especially the Flaks could be very useful for post-war and modern scenarios. It would therefore be nice to have a "modern" crew avaialble for the guns. Could be generic Blue/Red/Insurgent type crew (like we have on the ZSU guns) or at least just one very generic "neutral" PMC type crew that would fit in any side and any era. Thanks. 1 My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Northstar98 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 +1 While I'd say while probably a low-priority thing, it's definitely a nice-to-have, maybe not so much for the vehicles IMO, but definitely for the AAA. Modules I own: F-14A/B, F-4E, Mi-24P, AJS 37, AV-8B N/A, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk. Terrains I own: South Atlantic, Syria, The Channel, SoH/PG, Marianas.

You are absolutely right. I'm on stable and haven't even looked at the included vehicles, so i'm not sure how valid these are for post-war scenarios anyway (i think the german Flak could - with some artisctic freedom - act as a stand-in for sovjet big caliber AAA). On the other hand - if those assets were authored with modularity in mind (which i assume they were) than switching out the crew should be doable by config only and the only real work would be to create said generic crew models to replace the vintage ones. Of course it would be nice to have post-war crew on all WWII stuff, where it would make sense: This would be timeless pieces like the willys jeep, the usarmy truck (forgot type) and similar... This would immensly help with post-war / early cold war scenarios... My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Northstar98 Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I'm on stable too ;) As far as I know, the Bofors 40mm and 37mm M1 were definitely in service post-war, though I might be wrong. Flak 18s could definitely stand-in until we get proper Soviet AAA such as the KS-19 and KS-30.

twistking Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 ... bofors 40mm definitely still in service today, somewhere...probably also mounted on a toyota... My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Bailey Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I was kind of surprised to see this not be the case that modern looking people were absent.
