Volk. Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 That bit's not an omission from ED - it never fielded those pods, and explicitly never tested them AFAIK. heh. and here I am already finding the dual 23mm pods too light for most (DCS) missions For Black Shark tutorials, visit my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-LgdvOGP3SSNUGVN95b8Bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather have the 12.7 + 7.62. More fun. Most of the time it's Vikrs and S-13s. Nice and punchy. Still like to see 4 x S-24. That could be fun. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

3WA Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The 23mm is too light for most modern armor, and doesn't do much against infantry. Yeah, would love to see the 7.62 gattling gun pods, with 12.7 for piercing brick walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volator Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I'm totally unfamiliar with the Ka-50, so experts help me out here: AFAIK the BS2 has a laser warning receiver, but not a RWR, correct? Will the BS3 come with a RWR? MLWS maybe? Edited October 17, 2022 by Volator 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, still no on the RWR, but a missile approach warning system was on cards at some point, it is unclear if it still is however. 2 1 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Shark 3 Upgrade Program will allow you to save later by buying now. That means all existing owners of Black Shark 2 will benefit from a reduced Black Shark 3 upgrade price.

RPY Variable Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I didn't bought the A-10C upgrade because I didn't fly it that often and I didn't like to much the monocle thing, frankly not interested. But now, there is usually slots for A-10C II only on servers I play. So now if I want to fly the A-10 I need to buy it again at 80 usd... So I never touch the A-10C again. And I get the server slot logic.. with the 300 slots per server, having to add even more slots for the same aircraft is illogical. The last time, the BS1 and BS2 used the same slots, so there was not problem. But now for the BS3, it is going to happen the same as with A10C and A10CII. I'm not against paying for an upgrade, or whatever, but the methodology, with the "limited upgrade time" if not, 80 dollars to be able to use an aircraft you already own... not fond of that. So I learned my lesson, If I want to keep flying the K-50 I will have pay for the upgrade instantly because then your aircraft wont be on the servers. Ok... but I find it quite compulsory and it leaves me with a bitter taste. EDIT: I take back what I said. It still is 20usd for the upgrade. Last time I checked, I even went to the shopping card to see if there was an upgrade option. But when you login, the price changes. So it's not 80 usd for the upgrade, it is 20usd.

If we're talking about $10, more or less, that's as little as anything will ever cost in DCS. if you buy a module on sale and then pay a small upgrade cost, it's a fair deal. Not cheap maybe, but certainly fair. Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap maybe, but certainly fair. I've already bought the A-10C (original), but if I wanted to upgrade it, I'd have to buy the entire A-10C II module for $80. I don't remember how much the original cost, but an upgrade shouldn't be as high as the original module. Between $10-$30 would be ok. IMHO, of course I'm not going to be upgrading my A-10C anytime soon based on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
