How can I make them show ballistics?

 

Ah, you mean tracers? 

The featured Phalanx Block 1B has since around 2015 been using the Mk 244 mod 0 ELC 20 mm cartridge, which doesn't use tracers. Unlike the land based C-RAM which uses the HEIT-SD 20 mm cartridge, where the T stands for Tracer.

啊，你是说追踪器吗？ 

特色 Phalanx Block 1B 自 2015 年左右以来一直使用 Mk 244 mod 0 ELC 20 毫米弹药筒，该弹药筒不使用示踪剂。与使用 HEIT-SD 20 毫米弹药筒的陆基 C-RAM 不同，其中 T 代表 Tracer。

yes，Is there a way to make them display? Thanks

Hi @currenthill, Thanks for your wonderful mod. I have tested the Storm shadow as well as Taurus and I found these missiles can be easily detected and intercepted by outdated SAM such as SA-75, Buk, Kub, ... Is this normal feature of these missiles? Because I think these missiles are stealth. 

Well, stealth is a very broad term. According to open sources the two missiles differs a lot in observability (where the Storm Shadow seem to have a much lower observability). I set the RCS in accordance with the information that is available. The calculations behind the numbers seem reasonable though. A major part of its ability to be undetected also comes from terrain masking through low altitude terrain following cruising.

Hi @currenthill!

I guess that STEREGUSHCHIY should have the side hatch open when starting the AShM. I noticed that you made a separate part for this hatch on the model.

@currenthill there is also a strange AI feature in naval combat - it always launch 4 missiles in one salvo, even if "All" is set as ammo quantity in the waypoint Advanced Settings. Is it an AI peculiarity or something wrong with mod code? I checked Arleigh Burke, Admiral Gorshkov, Stereguschiy and Type 26 Frigate.

P.S. There is also no "Attack Unit" option, only "Attack Group"

 

 

A similar problem with Bal and Bastion. They launch only 2 missiles in one salvo.

Request: Replace Tomahawks with the LRASM-D because the LRASM is designed to replace the AGM-84 Harpoon

And BGM-109 Tomahawk

[Gundamator]

CH,

I have a request for you, this goes along with your infantry assets and that is modern manpads. Specifically the FIM-92J/K, compared to the ingame Stinger, this missile has far better ECCM, and comes equipped with a Proximity fuze making it a deadly threat. It would awesome to see this for infantry along with some vehicles I have listed. Seeing as Stingers make up the entirety of American SHORAD I this is a really needed addition. Thank You
LAV-AD: 

M-SHORAD: 
Avenger:

There are a few older MANPAD systems that are missing from DCS that would be great for period accuracy. The Strela-2 (SA-7) and Strela-3 (SA-14). And also the FIM-43 RedEye.

+1 it would be really nice to give the Flight IIIs some counter martime teeth. Currently in base game those ships are basically always on the defensive until they're within weapons range for their guns

Good catch, thanks!

Well, I can only do so much. Core DCS is what it is, there is only so much I can do with DCS AI. For example, I have upped my ship's size attribute so that they will appear as a bigger threat and therefore other ships and LBASMs will fire more missiles at them.

The LRASM was successfully VLS launched in a test around 2016. But since then focus has been on integrating the LRASM on more aircraft. Currently only the B-1 and F/A-18E can be fitted with them. The plan is to also integrate the missile on F-35, P-8A and B-52. But I have yet to see any news on VLS LRASM yet.

"Reflecting the broad deployment options an ASM capability can generate, and the need to spread such capability to help deter an adversary and complicate their planning, the United States is also investing in surface launch options. These include: using in-service Lockheed Martin Mk 41 vertical launching system (VLS) modules, with integration including fitting LRASM with a Mk 114 booster; and developing a deck-mounted launcher."

Yep, I've been looking for suitable 3D models of both the LAV-AD and the M-SHORAD.

Hm, why are you not using the AShM loadout of the Flight III? They are equipped with 16 x antiship capable SM-6, with a range of 130 nm.

I think the OP is asking for the updated version of the Avenger, or the version that packs the Javelin as well as the Stinger

That's kind of a broad statement. I have of course done testing before release, I just ran a mission with the Type 055 without issues. I guess what you mean is that the Type 055 Destroyer 1.5.0 will crash your game. Are you running the latest open beta?

Oh yeah I forgot about those!

Just saw on photos from military exhibition “official” leaflet with Shaheed techical specification. Both 1500 and 2000 ranges are declared

A word of advice, when you have a crash, remove all other mods and retest before writing to CH.

In the news I see already the 5th episode of the use of the S-200, which shoots like ballistics, a good idea for a mini-mod

What is the point? That is a kind of desperate way to use it. Can't hit anything with it.

[Miki011]

Hi @currenthill

I know we flood you with too many requests but just in case no one mentioned it before. Is there any chance of creating some cold war era radar stations and sams? Especially on the blue side. We only have Hawks and Rapiers basically.

Hopefully it gets on the waiting list.

[currenthill]

B-21 Stealth Bomber (USA) version 1.1.0 released!
Changelog Version 1.1.0

• Fixed AGM-158B JASSM-ER missing collision model

[spikef22]

So I was thinking about more cold war focused blue air defense that we don't have in dcs and the aspides and skyguard came to mind. Might add some more oomph to the rather lacking medium air defense deficiency blue forces have.

ADATS?   Oerlikon Sky Guard 35 MM?

 

[keltu123]

none of the download links show as active......are they brought down?

[YSIAD_RIP]

Try with another Browser? I was able to get to USA and UK Mods..

[Joey_Destroyah]

Maybe you could add the JDAM-ER and/or the MALD to the loadout list

JSOW is a bit more likely. Assuming we cut the documentation here for the B-2 loadout in halfnull
