Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[VFA41_Lion]

seems like the speed from the rocket booster decays very slowly. no idea if its realistic or not since data is so sparse from iran....

vers 1.1.0

Currenthill, can you make mod with Tu-95MS with external pylons and 8x x-101/6x x-555 missiles?

It might be a nice project. We’ll see.

Just a small issue with the Shahed drones, the base game AA assets aren't able to target or engage these drones even, on a bright sunny day. They also use optical sensors and targeting so they should have no issues engage a slow low flying drone like the Shahed. This is probably due to the stealth like RCS that this drone has.

Yep. The DCS core assets have a rather high radar threshold. If I align these kind of hard to detect assets with core game assets every old SAM will also detect and defeat them. But I always strive for realism, so I will look into this for the next version.

would it be possible to add russian and us subs with kalibr missiles for russian side and tomahawk missiles for us side?

or would it be possible to retexture tu-95sm/tu-160 and add some more cruise missiles?

It’s definitely possible.

Hi @currenthill. Please check the last version for Shahed. Now speed goes 700km/h. 

Yep, after the booster launch. Since the asset is very small and light it retain its speed a bit before slowing down.

Although big ships are cool, all these smaller assets are kinda fun tbh. Thanks for your good work CH

Great! I love these kind of smaller assets too.

Correct. It’s quite the struggle to implement a realistic flight profile for these kind of small and very slow assets. Since it starts at high speed, need to reach flight altitude and then go very slow for a long distance without falling from the sky. And then find its target and perform a stable dive.

Hello currenthill the mod is working great except for a missing texture (muzzle flash ?)

Haha! Correct. I didn’t catch it because it used the flash textures from another of my assets. I’ll sort it with a new release.

[Stratos]

Thanks for starting my request! thanks a lot!!

[currenthill]

DShK HMG 1.0.1 released!
Changelog Version 1.0.1

• Added missing muzzle flame textures

[SK8R]

Having trouble downloading from Website, any idea what the issue is. Download link refreshes the page when clicked 

 

 

[Colonel Akir Nakesh]

May I suggest a modernized US mobile SHORAD system such as the Stryker M-SHORAD or the Avenger with proposed upgraded Avenger that has the AIM-9X and Hellfires? ^_^

I suggest the Israeli tank Merkava Mark 4M with the trophy system. I don't know if it can be done but if so it could be the most powerful and technological tank in dcs.

[currenthill]

Shahed 136 LM 1.2.0 released!
Changelog Version 1.2.0

• Removed incorrect smoke trail after booster launch
• Changed RCS to better reflect realistic engagement ranges

DShK HMG 1.1.0 released!
Changelog Version 1.1.0

• Fixed traverse glitch
• Added capability to engage small drones

We are lacking the low altitud TR Unit. Any chance in the future for this Unit?

Hi Currenthill, first I would like to thank you for your effort... then I like to suggest the Iranian anti-ship missiles like the Nasr-1 or the Noor ones, those coastal anti-ship missile systems follows the same philosophy of the Shahed 136 drone launcher mounted on top of a "civilian" vehicle.

Another good suggestion would be any of the Iranian indigenous medium range air defense systems like this ones:

Implement those ones would be great for the Gulf and Syria maps allowing to mission makers (like me) to do more realistic scenarios.

The updated version of the DShK will now engage drones like the Shahed 136.

Hi,

Maybe interesting asset to the combined arms:

Chinese air defence system LY-70

OVERVIEW
LY-70 Mobile Air Defense Missile Weapon System is designed to intercept air targets such as high-performance combat aircraft, cruise missiles, air-to-ground missiles, UAVs, guided ammunitions & rockets and attack helicopters in high-density attack and strong electromagnetic interference conditions in all weather at day and night. The system is mainly used for critical asset air defense and escort air defense.

The LY-70 combat vehicle integrates AESA search & tracking radar, E/O search & tracking device, weapon control, missile launch, two types missiles including active radar homing guidance missiles (LY-70R missile) and IR staring imaging missiles (LY-70IR missile).

MAJOR FEATURES

• High Integration Level & Quick Reaction
• Strong Mobile Combat Capability
• High Combat Proficiency & High Survivability in Battlefield
• Strong Fire Power & Multi-target Engagement Capability
• High Anti-Jamming Capability
• High Reliability and Easy Operation

SYSTEM COMPOSITION
LY-70 weapon system is composed of combat equipment and logistic support equipment Combat equipment consists of LY-70R Missile-in- canister (MIC), LY-70IR Missile-in-tube (MIT), Combat Vehicle (CV) and Firing vehicle (FV). Support equipment consists of Logistic Support Vehicle (LSV), Missile Test Equipment, System Simulator and Training MIC/MIT.

 

LY-70 weapon system employs modular configuration, and the configuration is flexible as per actual battlefield requirements.

Proposed configurations are shown in following table.

Improvised weapons of the sandpeople! They look intimidating. Iran has very capable scientists despite country isolation. I'm creating a model of a "scientific-industrial" object so that it can serve as a target for airstrikes. Something like a nuclear facility site. It would be nice to see these air defenses in the game, to cover the plant from an air attack.

Yes, they have great scientists and they combine knowledge from Russia, China and USA/EU.

We can clearly see that Sevom Khordad, Sevom Khordad D9, Tabas and RAAD-2 are modifications based on Russia's Buk-M1-2 / Buk-M2 / Buk-M3.

RAAD-1  uses a modified missile from the 2K12 Kub/Kvadrat system and DEZFUL is, obviously, a TOR variant.

[SuPe7]

Where is the Sky Sabre SAM system CH? Are you still intererested to make it in the future? If yes I try to find you a 3d model for that. Just let me know.

russia Ranchet drone ls it possible to add?

[dorianR666]

another cool SAM:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPYDER

also used by israel and georgia allegedly, which makes it relevant to dcs scenarios.

 

though it would require adding also Python-5 or Derby missile, which might be difficult. i suppose if thats too difficult, you could copy aim120c and aim9x flight models and autopilots, just with a new 3d model and weight.

Derby and Python are already available as part of the JAS39 Gripen mod

This @currenthill 
 

its a tricky mod. Because it’s not a regular guided weapon. Actually it’s a little aircraft that kill itself.

I was thinking in how make possible that. 
 

1- Make of it an little AI Aircraft (it’s the only way you get him to Orbit in mission editor)

2- Change in programming the way him will perform inbound attacks as for example launch a rocket at 5m range. 
 

3- ones the rocket is on his way, auto destroy the Lancet drone.

Its mode of operation unfortunately isn't really easily emulated within DCS.

I'll look into it. When it comes to the missiles, I made the Python-5 and I-Derby ER for the Gripen a long while ago.

Exactly, it would take some ingenuity to emulate its operation within DCS.
