JeffC Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Now that the helos are so popular, are there any plans to get combined arms a face lift to use in conjunction with CA 12
Rick50 Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 That would be quite nice! Haven't heard anything though. 2

viperBAT46 DTF46 Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 I pray it gets some attention. CA has a great foundation and has massive potential.. especially the JTAC roles.. sitting in a quality model scout vic, calling in CAS and watching the fireworks, all while your battle buddy controls the flanking assault.. ideas ideas ideas. 11 1

Drive an Abrams close to the target behind a hill and peak over it using the JTAC function. Send the rough MGRS coordinates to the Apache and let him fire a LOAL Hellfire from cover. Lase the target for terminal guidance. The enemy will never see you... 2

And we would be smiling with a front row seat to the action. 3

What ever that number is though, I think it is clearly not enough. 2
Callsign112 Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 The linked video gives a good overview on how ground forces are organized and supported in the context of combined arms. If we would get more types of infantry with more capable Ai logic, we would be able to closely simulate battles in DCS using the same type of structure and organization. 2
Callsign112 Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Don't let the video thumbnail above fool you. The other very important players you don't see in the image are overhead in A10s and Apaches! 1
Wychmaster Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 @Callsign112 Thanks for sharing the video I abused the active pause and regular pause today to test what I mentioned earlier. So I could do all myself without forcing anybody to join me in multiplayer. The test was successful. Neither the Apache nor the Abrams had to expose themselves to get a hellfire onto a T-90s forehead. I made a small video that I will edit a bit before I share it. This could be a total awesome use of combined arms in conjunction with the Apache on a multiplayer server... They will never know what happened 2
Wychmaster Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 Took some time to get it done (video editing is hell ), but as promised: 5 2
Callsign112 Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 I heard DCS Combined Arms is accepting applications for JTAC operators. Nice demo thanks 1 1

This is how DCS was meant to be played. Imagine a PvP battlefield with this going on in 15 different sectors.. coordinating to get the task done. Love it. 3
Callsign112 Posted April 14, 2022 Posted April 14, 2022 After watching the video again, do you think the view from the Abrams is accurate? When looking at the tank itself, it appears to be at more of a slope compared to the image you get from the gun sight. Maybe that is just some type of optical illusion though.

Not sure what exactly you mean? Can you describe it a bit more? Don't forget that the gunsight already has a 3x magnification before you zoom in to 13x.
Callsign112 Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 I don't know, and I'm am probably wrong but it just seems like the tank itself is sitting on a significantly angled slop compared to what we see in the gun-sight view. The gun-sight looks to me like the tank is sitting on level ground. Abrams gun depression is -10 degrees, so maybe that's why but it just looks a little funny to me when I watch the video.
Devil 505 Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 Can anyone from ED give any roadmap or idea as of the future state of Combined Arms? I know there are other bigger irons in the fire per say, but it seem like the comms have been running silent on this one for awhile. Appreciate any info! 2

Goodwin Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 we need to draw more attention to the problem of the abandoned CA module. the idea of ground equipment working together in combination with air equipment is amazing and has very broad prospects. work on ground equipment for each aircraft is at least half of the gameplay. and i don't understand why the CA module is not being developed. 6
Callsign112 Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 I don't know about being very expensive for what it is, the problem is that it sees very little in the way of updates/fixes.

Ignition Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Well, maybe not now but it was abandoned for 8 years. Some oficial news would be nice to have after so much time. 1
