DmitriKozlowsky Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Its nice for DCS to have Stryker family of fighting vehicles. But it is not complete. Stryker Dragoon variant equipped with 30mm autocannon. Direct analogue of Russian BTR-82 30mm equipped IFV. Stryker mortar carrier Stryker Command (unarmed) Stryker Air Defense. Replaces or augments Avenger Air Defense. Stryker Fire Support. Field Artillery, CAS, and indirect fire support control vehicle. Stryker medical evacuation vehicle.
Northstar98 Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) +1 Would absolutely love more vehicle variants. For the Stryker we already have the M1126 ICV, M1128 MGS and the M1134 ATGM carrier; it would be cool to see the M1129 MCV-B (120 mm mortar), M1130 CV (commander), M1132 ESV (engineering), M1133 MEV (medevac) and M1127 RV (reconnaissance). I think the other vehicles are experimental. Though it might be better if done as part of a whole family upgrade as the older vehicles are beginning to show their age when compared to more recent free additions. I'd also love to see the same thing for the LAV-25, such as the LAV-AT (ATGM carrier), LAV-AD (air defence with Stinger and GAU-12), LAV-M (M252 mortar carrier), LAV-R (recovery) and LAV-C2 (command and control).

DmitriKozlowsky Posted December 10, 2020 Author Posted December 10, 2020 DCS needs, IMHO, more modern Western air defense. German MEADS (Medium Enhanced Air Defense System) Norwegian/American NASAMS (uses surface launched AIM-120D AMRAAM). Used by NATO (USA, Norway, Spain) + close non-NATO Ally Finland Advanced PAC (tiered) Patriot DCS did make AEGIS and Rolling Airframe naval air defense formidable inside DCS. AI aircraft on highest AI setting, can't evade AEGIS from Burke class DDG. Overall, air defense capability is heavily skewed toward red side. Tor(SA-15), Buk(SA-11), Tonguska, S-300 (SA-10), Osa (SA-8). Towed artillery and heavy towed mortars would be nice.
