Swedish Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[toan]

Hi again Currenthill, thanks for your answer. The RED Alert option i suggest for the LV 103 is similar to that offered by the RBS 98. Concerning the low flying aircraft defeating the RBS 98, the Unde 23 STR and the Elde 98 LN are positioned as statics, and erected automatically, but very late (they have the EPLRS ON and RED alert option ON) : the aircraft are approx. within 5 nm, flying straight and fast at 560 ft above the sea. This said, they are all part of a larger scenario involving the Admiral Kasatonov fighting against pairs of Arleigh Burkes, D650 Aquitaine frigates, and Visby FACs.... But still, I have an AWACS (E2-D) flying over at 26.000 ft, with EPLRS switched on. Below is my mission, in the Marianas.... Very exciting Mods indeed, superb work ! Many thanks !

Glad you like it!

I looked at the mission, a lot of action going on.

A couple of things:

1) I noticed the SAM units group leader assets didn't have the Alarm state set to Red. It's enough to set the group leader to Red. And all the SAM assets are configured to go into ready mode if Alarm state is set to Red, including the LvS 103. 

2) You have just discovered the issue with ground based radar, it won't do you any good if they are obstructed. To test this, put the radars (UndE 23 for RBS 98 and PM103 for LvS 103) on top of a house or at the beach pointing at the incoming threat. The detection rate will also be determined of the targets altitude. In this case the two Su-25s flying at 500 ft with the radars obstructed makes it impossible for them to react in time.

Thanks Currenthill, well I thought I had set the Red Alarm ON, but it must be a bad mark on my log... And yes, you're right, I already moved the radars from their initial locations, but probably not enough to get them clear of obstructions (in fact, I wanted to still have them partly under cover among the trees...), but it seems that the Unde 23 radar rotates above the tree tops, thanks to its extending arms. Maybe not high enough, though ?  I'll try again, anyway. Thanks for your help !

I've upgraded the RBS 57 (NLAW) infantry soldier. He's now also mobile. And of course transportable by helicopter.

Nice! Will we get this upgrade in a full pack update or separate download? 

[arilm21]

Sorry if I missed it but at a glance I didn’t see anything about it has anyone else had a problem with all the infantry seems to be unable to embark transports specifically helicopters the option is there to “embark” but it will not recognize helicopters and only a few ground vehicles.

Yep, it's been reported and has been fixed. Will be included in the next release.

I will probably release a smaller update which will fix quality of life issues that has been reported. This will definitely be a separate (small) download.

These are the issues currently featured in the next update.

Thanks for the reply!

I think it is also a problem that the Patriot's missile launchers are not deployed. I can understand a mobile launcher, but a fixed missile launcher should always be deployed as it delays response to aircraft and missiles. Or is there an option within the DCS to always keep it deployed?

[FRus]

Ever since I bought the Mi-8 (4-5 years ago) I dreamed of adequate infantry - I wrote on the ED forum how important this is for the gameplay of transport helicopters. But no reaction. You transfer infantry behind enemy lines to the mi-8, but what's the point of that? One BTR-80 can kill a whole battalion of such infantry, not to mention tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Thank you for the mod. As for me, the EDs themselves should introduce the mod into the game so that everyone has such infantry.

As for RBS 57 (NLAW), is it possible to write a script for him so that he only shoots his grenade at tanks and armored vehicles?Otherwise, he has 1, and if he spends it on infantry, he will be left with nothing in front of the tanks))))

Thanks for the work you've done

If there is some kind of wishlist for future versions, I would like to add the S-106 GlobalEye and a Gotland class submarine. 
Thanks a lot for all the efforts you put into this great stuff!

Hey! It's been answered before in this thread. You have to make sure that the group unit leader has the setting Alarm State = RED. That makes sure it's in ready mode.

It not exactly a wishlist, but I have a list of assets I'm looking into making. They are listed in an arbitrary order.

thanks for sharing the list. I see something there that I can scratch off my (to do) list now

Thanks!

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to restrict the RBS 57 soldier from firing at infantry. I actually hadn't tested a scenario without any vehicles so I hadn't experienced this until I tested it today. The weapon type associated with the RBS 57 prioritizes targets by threat level, where enemy infantry is at the bottom. But I haven't found a way to filter them out. I've tried a couple of workarounds, but no luck so far. I'll keep trying, I still have some ideas.

Are any desert skins planned for your excellent mods?

Any chance of a Grsp 92, and Ksp 88 tripod mounted weapon for dismounted soldiers? The Granatgevär m/18 ? Similar to the AG90, with two man crews?

Or a Javelin please?

Sorry, Sweden doesn't use the Javelin.

But you have the Pskott 86 (AT4), RBS 57 (NLAW) and RBS 58 (Akeron MP) to cover your anti-armour needs.

I love the suggestions! They will definitely go on the list. And the Grsp 92 will probably make an appearance mounted on a RWS also.

Would it be possible to make amphibious versions of the infantry? I only ask because to place units on a ship or oil platform DCS needs them to be amphibious. I don't actually want them to swim but turning any merchant vessel or oil platform into a potential MANPAD location is something missing from the game.

I'm actually looking into this. Some of these things requires some serious workarounds. I would also like to deploy infantry (like the sniper team) from Visby by Hkp 15. 

[Lokattn]

Given the Kola terrain being in development and the only Swedish airframe currently being the Viggen; maybe try and make some older cold war assets?
