DCS and the Scope of Combined Arms in light of Revelations coming out of the recent conflict in Europe


Recommended Posts

Posted

The recent conflict in the EU has shown the vast and powerful influence of Combined Arms Conflict in the Theatre of WAR.

Stationary Air Defence Systems, Mobile Air Defence Systems, Reconnaissance Drones, and Weaponized Drones, Improvized Drones & Weaponry, ARTILLERY, and MLRS have played prominent roles in this recent conflict.

Recently new types of sophisticated unmanned aerial weapons have emerged, Hypersonic Cruse Missiles, Smart Artillery, Improvised Cheap Drones in vast quantities that overwhelm Air Defence Systems, and Anti Drone Systems.

What has been the impact on Eagle Dynamics weighted development of the DCS environment which seems to be in favour of Fixed Wing Fighter Attack Aircraft -vs- Combined Arms and Navel Assets, which seems to be about 70/30 right now ?

Respectfully I think the DCS asset's/environment development bias ought to more closely match reality which seem to be showing us

right before our eyes (on the NET) the very critical importance of Combine Arms Warfare, Improvised Weaponry, and Air Defence Systems.

 

thanks you for your attention

An interesting question.

One thing to consider is "time period".  I'm not sure that we have any aircraft within DCS that are "current" versions of aircraft in service (though I'm sure that someone will appropriately correct that, as there's bound to be an exception).  So trying to model "current day" scenarios isn't really the purpose of the options currently within DCS.

 

For all that, you're right to ask about the use of combined arms, even if we should really consider capabilities from a few years ago. 

As an example, I'd like to see a few more SAM systems available.  The last time I looked, I don't remember there being for example, an Sa7, and the Igla that we have is only the Sa18, not the other variants.

Hi,

we certainly want to add new units to DCS and do have new units on the way, however some of the things you are suggesting would need unclassified data and are to new to include in DCS. 

thank you
