Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

2 tone British camo is best camo...

@currenthill can you please restart the mod production on the real life, real action Russian and NATO hardware? Today Iskander Missiles were unbeatable even against Patriots. In your current Iskander mod Patriots eat Iskander like piece of Cake. Not seem to be the same in real Life. Today real action video:

also will be nice add a cluster munition version for the Iskander mod. The core Smerch MLRS has Cluster munition version… easy peasy

Out of curiosity have you tried testing the Iskander against patriot systems with different skill levels? Also, I would not say the Patriot system would be as good is it is in game against iskanders in real life but there is many documented accounts of succesful intercepts of iskanders from the patriot system. These incidents of Patriot systems being hit by Iskanders is not as useful as some may think neither because there are so many variables at play, Ukraine may not have many missiles left to system being saturated to electronic warfare to training and fatigue of the operators. Many uncertainty's at play... We also have to account for Ukraines claims of shooting down 34 Iskanders with the system in one incident..

I don’t wanna start a battle about who is better. Just keep in mind there is not a single radar operation interception proof about nothing against Islander, just Ukr side telling you stories and showing debris

@currenthill, could there also be a sneaky Type 31 making its way into your UK asset pack? Similar to how you surprised us with the Sachsen?

I agree on your general conclusion. In a perfect scenario I would make the 9M723 more intelligent, it should be able to have waypoints and have more of a ballistic trajectory. Unfortunately DCS is what it is, especially for us modders. I'm glad that I managed to even get the 9M723 working again after the updates that broke all these missile types. Since I can't make the 9M723 better, my only option would be to make the SAM systems less good. And I don't want to make them too bad, since they have more target types than missiles. 

What I think I will do is this. In my asset packs I have now a very good mix of different era Patriot systems, from the old MPQ54 to the latest LTAMDS, from the old PAC-2 GEM to the newest PAC-3 MSE. I will try to differentiate the versions better from each other. 

Like in your opening statement "Patriot eat Iskander like piece of cake", you can't really just say Patriot because of the vast different in technology depending on which version of radar and missile you are using. I'm pretty sure a PAC-3 MSE combined with the LTAMDS radar would stand a much better chance of defeating an incoming missile than the old PAC-2 with the MPQ54 radar. 

I will take this into account in the next updates. 

In regards to your request of cluster munitions, unfortunately it's not that as easy as you think. If that were the case, I would already have done it. The Smerch MLRS uses a rocket weapon scheme and can't be guided. Using that would make an ever more worse Iskander missile. And since ED recently encrypted all weapon scheme files I can't really research new ways of implementing more modern weapons. We're stuck where we are now.

We'll see, the ships are a lot of work, and I will try shorten the development time between releases. Otherwise it'll take me years to get through updates in all packs. 

[crazyeddie]

Ah, therein lies the danger with mods.

As wonderful as they are, (and I use lots of them), trying to keep up with ED's changes must be hell on earth for the guys making those mods, never mind the rest of us who just get to play with them.

Enormous credit to CH and all the others for the effort, I'm not sure I could do it.  BZ Boys ... BZ.

And here it is... the long awaited CRV(T) replacement... the Ajax. 

It comes in three outfits: green, two tone and desert.

I also added the two tone camouflage to the Boxer AFV in the German asset pack, which now emulates the British Boxer nicely. And I did the same with the M270 GMLRS. I even included the poor little guy getting replaced in the picture.

What about super vibration feature...?    P.S. Amazing addition:)

Haha, well, I read this: 

Quote

The British defense secretary said, the new antiphons and seats “is the cure”. According to him, the tests have shown great results and the program is moving forward.

As a Swede, the language barrier might be an issue here. But solving the issue with antiphons sounds very old school British. I mean, antiphons are verse usually from Scripture said or sung before and after a canticle, psalm, or psalm verse as part of the liturgy. So, with the help of the Scripture, we should be good to go!

Any chance of seeing this two Spanish Army vehicles? They saww combat in the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan and still deployed in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Egtpy used them, and they were used also by Saudi Arabia and Perú. 

The APC variant, BMR600M1

 

And the Cavalry variant, with a 25mm gun. The VEC25.

Do you already know the next currenthill package?

Seen the Ajax in the flesh at this years tank fest. There nearly as big as the Challenger 2

You also have french moving soldiers in the French pack. They also make some parade for July the 14th

The same can be said about Russian claims...Just saying...

 

[pepin1234]

@currenthill did you try give the S-8 rockets size value to the Iskander. If maneuverability can’t not be implemented due anti cheat or core broken maybe using smaller cross section radar from other weapons can make the job.

CH, when you get around to China asset pack and plans to model the HQ-9

He's been going through and updating them like he did with US & Germany.

Oh, I respect that. I dont really care about who is better just having the most accurate stats which probably wont come out of that conflict for years to come.. Out of curiosity though what do you mean about radar operation intercept? Are you talking about a live shot of the radar screen in action type of thing? I only ask because I personally have not seen any footage of that kind regarding the Patriot system, from any country that uses it?

Yep, I really like the old school version without all the extra armor. And the core game version is a bit lackluster.
