Will there be an R in FRS.1?

Recommended Posts

I've been reading through "No Escape Zone" by Nick Richardson where he talks about the FRS.1 being used in the Bosnia theatre and there is a section on how the F95 camera was used during reconnaissance missions of SA-6 sites by simply lining up a chinagraph mark on the canopy with the target off to the right.  This got me thinking, will this be implemented when we see the jet in DCS?

 

I guess if you wanted to be really authentic, you could have the images only available 4 hours after landing!

I do expect to see it, and I have no expectations on when.

IIRC there have been more recent snippets from Raz that indicate the SHAR is not a current priority (that statement ^^ is over 18 months old now), possibly following the F-15E and Mig-23 (and Tucano???) (Mudhen alone could be years out, Flogger has only just had cockpit laser scan)

 

Don’t even begin to ask me how little sense that makes😡🔥🤔🔥😡

A Falklands / South Atlantic map with Falklands era naval assets and no SeaJet - bonkers own goal IMHO

 

So, two questions…

 

1. When do we get to fly over the stormy southern oceans - it looks pretty good already and I’m raring to go

 

2. When do we get to fly the SHAR off Hermes and Invincible and tangle with Mirages and Skyhawks???
