Northstar98 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) First off, what an incredible update today, sure took a while to hit but so far it's looking great! However, there's a few things I'd like to bring up with the ZSU-57-2: First off is the muzzle flashes; in reality the S-68 autocannons produce quite a sizeable muzzle flash, in DCS however, they're much less impressive. Wouldn't it be better if they used the flash we see on larger calibre guns? (Such as tank cannons, larger naval artillery and the larger AAA pieces) Secondly, the turret traverse rate; from what I can find it should be around 36°/s, at the moment it's closer to 20°/s (taking 18 seconds to complete a full rotation instead of 10 - I slightly overshoot in the track (using joystick) but I don't think I'm too far off). The elevation rate however should be 20°/s. ["...Traverse took 0.2°-36° per second and elevation −5° and +85° at 0.3-20° per second..." Source] A side issue is when you depress the guns to the maximum, they clip through elements of the rear of the vehicle, but that's not too much of an issue - other vehicles with raised engine decks don't suffer this issue however. Finally, there's the suspension modelling; this has something that DCS has always gotten completely wrong (in that it works completely backwards to real life - no I'm not exaggerating), but in the case of the ZSU-57-2 it seems particularly extreme; bobbing around quite severely on relatively flat terrain. To the point where the rear road wheel ends up clipping straight through the track. EDIT: You'll also see that the ZSU-57-2 when uncontrolled has a tented roof, and when the player takes control it disappears into a rolled up bundle on the rear of the turret, but then that disappears too; here it might be better if we had a checkbox for whether or not the rolled up roof is present or not (most videos I can find of the ZSU-57-2 has it present). Other that very pleased about our latest AA addition!

Northstar98 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Posted January 12, 2021 Just wondering (though sorry for bumping this) would this be better over at the Combined Arms thread?
