Added the windscreen wipers. Still running test, but I haven't came across anything big, thankfully.

THE ALLIGATOR IS COMING.

Possible bug or need for update...

 

The US Infantry mod won't embark to aircraft.

The standard US Soldiers will embark to aircraft, but if I change to the CH Soldiers, they just walk up to the aircraft and stand there.

That sounds accurate. Older SA-15s should also be able to shoot down HARMs and larger JDAMs, although I believe the GBU-38 may be too small. 

Thanks for your response, if S350 detects GBU-38s, does that mean the mod's detection is too sensitive? How can I destroy these sam sites?

Thanks, it's a known issue, I have it listed on my web front page. I held back on the update since I wanted a couple of 2.9 patches to be released first. But it turns out ED has changed the parameters for embarking, so I just have to make a small addition for it to work again. I will be updating both the Swedish infantry and US infantry shortly.

It might be, but as you can imagine, there is no sure way to know since we only go by OSINT. We know that the S-350 is a very modern system though and should be able to defend against at least the larger bombs. 

As a reference, this is what Roland SAMs from the 70s managed in the Falklands War.

Quote

Argentina purchased 4 Roland shelter-mounted systems for static defense of fixed installations and one of these was deployed to defend Stanley airfield during the Falklands War with Britain in 1982. This system fired 8 out of the 10 missiles it was deployed with and is credited with shooting down one Royal Navy Sea Harrier and two 1,000 lb (450 kg) general-purpose bombs (although the British used air burst 1,000 lb (450 kg) bomb in the conflict).[14] This system was captured intact by the British and taken back to Britain.[6]

When I'm done with the testing.

Lol, in my missions, full S-350 site on maximum skill level just ignored full 40 Tomahawk missiles salvo flying 50m ASL )

Sounds like a configuration issue, bug or a blocked radar. I just tried the S-350 against 20 Tomahawks. They were easily defeated.

[currenthill]

Still running Ka-52 tests, found a couple of issues I've taken care of. I also just noticed that helicopters in DCS by default can't find their way to the landing pad on a ship at night. But I have it figured out now. Here's a picture of a Ka-52K doing night operations from a Project 22160.

Yep, I just placed him in at the shore and it worked. But can really be trees a problem for modern phased-array radar?

Yes, it may or may not go through dense vegetation. It really depends. That's why they also add the tall radars in certain situations, like low flying targets.

Curious, I thought Russia selected the Mi-28 over the KA-52.

I guess the Army was split between the Mi-28 and Ka-52 and the Navy wants the Ka-52

Thanks

Yep, it would be very nice to see it in action. But since I've spent many nights finishing the asset and don't have the energy or time to make a video. I hope it will find itself to the videos of content creators.

Outstanding !!!!

[Beta Sokol]

Long time since the last Ka 52 disappeared...

Many thanks and carry on !

For some reason the Ka-52's landing gear retracts very quickly

ED has done something within the core files that prevents the gear of helo's from retracting , so CH has a workaround, this is more than likely the reason for the quick retraction(s)

You deserve a new donation on your Ko-fi ^^
Thank you very much for your absolutely fabulous work!

[bennyboy9800]

I have been working on a Hostomel-like scenario on the Caucasus for a few months now. I had initially been forced to use KA-50s in place of the 52s but not anymore! They should fit in perfectly!

As @Oban points out, there are hard coded restrictions when it comes to DCS helicopters. Don't really know why, but for example, we can't have trainable cannons, retractable gear. I've asked @BIGNEWY to check with the team if it's possible to have these limitations removed for AI.

Much appreciated! I'm willing to spend the time as long as you guys help with the funding.

That is correct! I try to work around these pointless restrictions as best I can, it's never perfect, but better than if I didn't do it.
