over by Christmas - Korean War 1950 - 1953

Korean War would be over by Christmas `50  they thought...

But it wasn't.

Korean War Server 1950-1953

 

 

Syrian map and WWII assets pack required

Recreation (not strictly historical) of the Korean War within the DCS Sandbox. DCS has some "limitations" when going for a Korean War recreation, e.g. no Korean map, no B-29 etc. The only adequate assets are the F-86F and MiG-15bis and F-51D. Nonetheless there are possibilities if you are willing to accept some compromises.
If you can't, then sorry, this server is not suitable for you.

This is a PvEvP server.

 

In this scenario North Korea managed to bring enough ground attack aircraft to the airfield K-23 at Pyongyang to strike UN troops (for gameplay - not historical). This brings more variety into the game.

But still the idea is to fly the missions with real distances // flight times.
The distance between (the Syria map equivalent of) Suwon and Antung is 94% of the real distance
-> 367km // 228sm // 198nm
Distance Suwon(eq.) to Pyongyang(eq.) is 102% of the real distance
-> 229km // 142sm // 124nm.
So don't forget to take some bags with you.

Of course this is a game and not everyone likes the idea to fly very long distances. For this reason and even more to seed the server, QRF units are available. They are located at the forward airbases, red and blue.
The Sabre/MiG-15 QRF slots are airstart slots. 5 minutes south/north of Pyongyang
 
EWR is available, but limited to approximately 100miles around the airfields Antung and K-13.

Long range radar available. It uses sectors and is available on demand.
Use Coms menu F10 to request a picture, then immediately check F10 menu again for the update. See "Task" section for sector names.

 

AI aircraft fly patrols and attacks.
You won't be alone here.

AAA can be occupied by players.

Placeholder assets are replaced as soon as adequate ones come to DCS.

Korean Theatre -> Syrian map
Ground troops and AAA -> WWII assets pack
F-80C Shooting Star -> L-39ZA
F-84 Thunderjet -> C-101CC
B-29 -> B-17G
B-26 -> Mosquito FB Mk VI (Client) // A-20G (AI)
Seafire -> Spitfire Mk IX
AD-1 Skyraider -> P-47D-40
F4U Corsair will be added as soon as it is available
La-9 Fritz -> Fw190A-8
La-11 Fang -> Fw190D-9
Yak-18 -> Yak-52

Vulching is not prohibited. It's a pesky thing, but it happened in reality also.
There are no "save from being shot" zones

Do not disconnect/change slot while in the air.
Eject, wait till the aircraft crashes into the ground, then you may rejoin a fresh aircraft or go to spectators/disconnect.

There is no stats system. If you want to know whether you killed an enemy, watch him crash.

RED Task

Primary task: Survive

MiG-15bis:
Intercept big ones(B-29) and take care of the small ones(Fighter/Fighter-Bombers). When bombers are in the area of operations you'll be informed. The Big Ones seem to approach NK along the west coast.

Quote of Lt Col Aleksander Smorchkov of 18th GvlAP:
"I had always taught my pilots that an aircraft like a B-29 was worth all their ammunition."

224th IAP (AI) cover Antung airfield
147th GvIAP, 878th IAP high alt Fighter and Bomber intercept, low level Fighter-Bomber interception.
Protect own forces and facilities (marks on the map).

The High Command does not allow you to fly south of the line Pyongyang and Wonsan, because there is no EWR coverage south of this line to warn you.
You are not allowed to fly over the sea.

Pyongyang:
351st IAP attack hostile ground troops at the battleline.

QRF@ forward airbase:
297th IAD attack hostile ground troops at the battleline.

Radio:
4MHz/Channel 3 for EWR and engagement reports
Axeman for the Jets (4MHz)
Darknight for the Prop aircraft (Ch3)

A forward airbase for repair, refuel, rearm is available at sector factories center
