reported Nation restrictions

[Silent Film]

Why are not all nations allowed when creating a mission? I want to create a mission with Serbian P-51, but that is not possible. But it is possible to create a Serbian P-47, MiG-21, and M-2000C in a mission. Why is that restriction?

Just different times these modules were release and different decisions. I can request it.

Thank you. This issue can be applied to all of the units.

If every "country" in DCS has access to all aircraft, what's the point of having the individual countries?

 

I don't know, maybe with historical mode turned on units can be limited based on what whatever country actually operated (for Serbia, they did operate the MiG-21bis, at least as part of the Air Force of Serbia and Montenegro c. 1992 - 2006 for which I believe they have an appropriate livery).

The point is to create a certain scenario in a mission. Why restrictions? This is fiction anyways. One should be able to create a realistic or an imaginary scenario without restrictions.

Again, what's the point of having the countries in the first place at that point? Just have red and blue and imagine whatever country is whatever?

 

I would've thought the whole point of having countries would be to filter equipment, like historical mode.

The point of having countries is to have countries.

 

The equipment is currently not being historically filtered by countries, and so obviously that was not the original idea neither. As NineLine said, it was "just different times these modules were released and different decisions". So it's a mess right now.

I agree. It's already now possible to assign a Focke-Wulf to USA and a Mustang to Germany. And I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to make such funny choices when I create my own missions.

Only problem in my setup was, the Mustang then had no German livery. It had no livery at all, it was just metallic. The Mustang on the other side had an imaginary German livery.
