FireManDan Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 So I am currently working on some missions for the upcoming apache that I can turn into a campaign. The theme I am currently working on is based in Georgia (since not everyone has every map). Russian is trying to bring Georgia back into the fold by using proxy nations in the Middle East to supply weapons, arms, and fighters to start an insurrection. Towards the middle or end of the campaign I may have Russia make a limited invasion to "quell" the rebel uprising. Some of the mission types I have planned are convoy attack, compound attack, convoy escort, medevac escort. So my question is, what kind of missions would you, the eventual players, like to see? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomatic Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 TIC Mission or two would be cool, maybe. I personally love CSAR missions, downed pilot/medevac sorta thing. So that’ll be right up my alley. Anything that conveys a sense of teamwork, as hard as that can be to execute in DCS. I’m incredibly excited for the campaigns in the future. Best of luck! 3 If speed is death…, buy a Honda and live forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorX Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The Sunday Supplement email from DCS had a write up of the Desert Storm AH-64 attack that took out the EW radar sites to start the air war. I think Desert Storm would make a good campaign using the Persian Gulf or Syria map. I realize that that the AH-64A's were used in that conflict. the mast mounted millimeter wave radar dome can be optional, which gets closer to the A model. To me it's just too historic of a mission to pass up making. 11 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"

Rabies Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Well the Marianas map is free. You could set up an amphibious landing/invasion similar to that of Grenada with a twist of Apaches over Libya were British Apaches operated from a naval vessel. Limit fix wing to harriers, so you’re not having F-18 and F-14’s swamping the region. And slowly island hop through the region. The smaller islands can have militia like activity while the larger ones a well entrenched military with decent air defences.

On the other hand, conventional wars like Desert Storm, or perhaps even fictionalized conflicts like a what if boots on the ground intervention in Kosovo, using the Georgia map, or a modern what if Yom Kippur war, that'd be great.

Tank50us Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Well, recreating the 'dogfight' in Firebirds would be quite fun, and going a bit more arcady, doing some of the objectives in the various Strike games would also be quite interesting to see done in a realistic manor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fargo007 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 In Ronen Bergman's book "Rise up and Kill First," there are scenarios described where Israeli AH-64's would yeet a spicy stick at a car containing a hamas commander or other terrorist from a great distance away, in the middle of the night. These would be lots of fun with the OH-58D playing a role as well. Tracking the car, helping the 64 get set up in a good location, and then lasing for the shot. I'm also getting ready to release a very robust "Troops In Contact" mission that is hours of fun. You check in, patrol a defined area, and eventually some friendlies will call and need your help quite urgently. This will be a hoot in the AH-64. It damn sure is in the hind. 3 Have fun. Don't suck.

Perfect example of different strokes. Having just re-read Apache again - I would love the chance to operate on call CAS - hunting for targets that dip in and out of cover. No idea of where the target is. Pre-planned, for me is where I have less interest. Different strokes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgillers3 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Hasty attack against a company or larger with air threat being forced to use terrain to get to a bp and maneuvering at terrain flight altitudes.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what y'all Apache pilots get up to. This is what DCS is all about to get to simulate these scenarios that (thank God) never came to be. Apaches and A-10s fighting swarms of Soviet armor formations is way cooler than flying around for three hours then dropping a single jdam on a house filled with baddies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
