Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[andyc]

hI @currenthill how do you get the sky sabre and related units to be in deployed configuration ? ie missiles ready to launch  / Radar etc in deployed configuration. Also can you confirm if launching sam's is supported from Combined Arms - ie able to sit in the control vehicle and lock on and shoot down aircraft.

Which NATO assets would you suggest are the most wanted ones?

With the ASC C-130J coming ... a must have is the M-551 Sheridan! I dropped my share of those back in the 80's. I appreciated you putting it in your USA Assets Pack mod.

M47 variants, m48 variants, m60 variants, leapord variants, ypr 765. M102 howitzer, love how you do the m777 towed howitzer. Nike Hercules. Thinking of these we actually already have a good bit, and nato didnt really have the range the Warsaw pact had. 

More Warsaw pact would be nice too. Rm 70 and ot 64. Spg 9 would be cool. 2s7 and all the Soviet towed artillery. 

Infantry of any kind. Although I know that's very primal in DCS.

Hey CH, any update on the J-35 and when we might get a release?

 

Thanks!

M-60

M-48

Personally, I would also really like the Soviet 2S7M Malka, I would be very grateful. I think that cannon is still in use.

Some Helicopters from NATO like the AS 332B Super puma, CH-53D Super Stalion and the Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low, AH-1W Super Cobra, Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King, Lynx/Super Lynx. 


and some aircrafts like de Blackburn Buccaneer, Tornado ADV (UK), Tornado GR1/GR3 (UK), Tornado IDS and ECR (German), Mirage 2000N, F-111F, FB-111, EA-6B, BAe Lightning, F-4G, Sea harrier, Avro Vulkan, Mirage IIIE, F-105F, F-105G,

Oh my!  Yes!  

And if I may go one step further and add to the NATO list:  Breguet Atlantique, Breguet Alize, EE Canberra T.17 and PR.9, HP Victor K2, Vickers VC10 K1, L1011 Tristar K1, Avro Vulcan B.2/K.1, HS Nimrod MR1/2, the God like Avro Shackleton AEW 2, Dassault Mirage III/IV, Lockheed C-141, Saab 32 Lansen, Saab 35 Draken, RAF Phantom FG1/FGR2, USAF RF-4E ( so missing on the Germany map), CF-100 Canuck, amongst many others...

Edit: NATO P2V Neptune! And... AN-2, AN-22, AN-124, IL-14, IL-20, Tu-134, and more TU-95 variants for the Warsaw Pact.

Maybe some assets that were deployed across many theaters or years:

- AAA like Oerlikon GDF 35-mm and Bofors 40mm.

- SAM like Nike or Bloodhound.

- Maybe some NATO attack aircraft like A-7 Corsair II or Jaguar?

You make sure all the Sky Sabre units are in the same group, then set the group to alert mode red. The Sky Sabre doesn't have player controlled launch at the moment, primarily due to limitations with DCS Combined Arms.

I'm currently working on updates and additions to the Chinese asset pack. No sure about a release date yet, unfortunately.

May I suggest the humble GTR-18 Smokey SAM, a training device simulating the visuals of a SAM launch.

I would also love to see a configurable MUTES of some sort. 

And I would also love to see the C-160 Transall.

All of these fit many of the possible scenarios in DCS. The Smokey SAM and MUTES would massively increase the immersion and realism of training against SAM systems.

Will ground-based electronic warfare systems be created in the future?

Убедитесь, что все подразделения Sky Sabre находятся в одной группе, а затем переведите группу в красный режим оповещения. На данный момент Sky Sabre не может запускаться по команде игрока, в основном из-за ограничений в DCS Combined Arms.

Спасибо за все предложения.

В настоящее время я работаю над обновлениями и дополнениями к набору ресурсов для китайского языка. К сожалению, я пока не могу назвать точную дату релиза.

Спасибо!

Спасибо за предложения!

This is desperately needed within the core DCS world assets selection, it would allow for much more intense training missions (in Nevada for example) with visual cues to practice against but without having to put an actual threat into the mission or having to set yourself to "immortal"!

[ASW]

Why do units sometimes refuse to fire? What are the necessary conditions for this. For example. in this situation.

[CarbonFox]

Some other Cold War assets both Soviet and NATO that would be interesting:

T-64B, T-80B, 2S7 Pion, M-1 Abrams (early) with 105mm gun. FIM-43 RedEye, Strela-2 & Strela-3

Aircraft and Ships, F-111F, EF-111A, and C-141B probably at the top of the list for fixed wing.  AH-1F/S and SH-3H for Helo’s, and Spruance, Adams/Lütjens, Virginia, Kiev class for ships.

@currenthill the sky sabre detection range (I assume this is the yellow circle) seems very small ? am i missing something re increasing the range ?

It mostly depends on how ED choose to implement ground-based EW in DCS. But as I always say, I'm open to most ideas.

Since this is a DCS core asset, please ask these questions in the core asset pack subforum, it's easier to keep them apart, thanks. 

I would recommend you attach the test mission for me to try.

It's using the Giraffe AMB radar, so I believe 150 km is a pretty reasonable range.
