Hypersonic Cruise Missiles

[Mike Force Team]

In DCS World, will there be an update for the hypersonic cruise missiles such as the DF-17, the Brahmos, and the Zircon?  As new hypersonic missiles are modeled in DCS, they would make for interesting missions and campaigns.  Additionally, we get to see how the assorted warships, jets, and gunships respond to the hypersonic missiles.

Probably not any time soon given that we have no current assets or map, or module that fits with them.

The 3M22 isn't even in service yet, we don't have a single asset capable of firing Brahmos, nor do we have a suitable map for it and as for the DF-17, it's range eclipses the area of most maps.

As for warships and ships? The Arleigh-Burke and Ticonderoga are missing about 80% of the weapons they should have, including things like the SM-2ER, SM-6 and ESSM, and that's on top of their super simplified FC systems, as well as having CIWS systems firing the wrong rounds with no sensors defined.

For the DF-17, the closest thing we have to something like THAAD is the Patriot PAC-2 from the early 90s.
