Thanks! This is what I'm doing: The reason for the current placement of the two files is compatibility with OvGME. You just put the OvGME package (zip file) in the configured folder and enable/disable it. And the version information is shown in the GUI. 3 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

toan Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Fantastic Mods, Currenthill ! Your ships, as well as your missiles, tanks and infantry are absolutely amazing ! IMHO, your superior quality contributions and comprehensive sharing to the DCS arena is unequalled ! I have one question concerning the Chinese HHQ-9B long range SAM missile. I have observed in my missions that one single HHQ-9B launched from a Type 052D or 055 Destroyer can kill an E-3D AWACS flying 120 nm away at FL350 That seems a performance, indeed The E-3D dives desperately down to 400 ft ASL, but still can't escape the missile that flew up to 75000 ft, before hitting the very low flying AWACS most of all, neither the stock DCS Patriot and NASAAM, nor the Swedish Iris simultaneously active sites can intercept it.... A nearby (80 nm) modernized Arleigh Burke and Ticonderoga fired also a single SM-6, without success. So, I'm very puzzled about the way to counter that missile. Your help is welcome. Many thanks for all your super Mods ! Edited March 10, 2023 by toan 3

Many thanks for all your super Mods ! Thank you for the kind words. The HHQ-9B is indeed a very long range missile (in accordance to OSINT I should clarify). Don't forget that AWACS are pretty easy targets compared to high G maneuvering low RCS fighters. Unfortunately you won't get any help from the ground or ship based SAMs you mentioned, since they won't target and engage a surface to air missile, that's by DCS design. 3 hours ago, Lt.Turbo said: http://www.hisutton.com/Iran-IRGC-Air-Defense-Fast-Boat.html Interesting, thanks for the link!

Yeah, it's always hard to find exact dimensions, especially for the Chinese assets. But the HQ-17A is based on a variant of the MZKT 6922 chassis which is deceptively large with it's almost 10 meters length. 2 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!

Do you plan to make Tor M2E (I'm sure you already understand that its basically the same as HQ-17A) and Buk M2E using the same chassis? 2 Intel i7 9700k CPU Nvidia GTX 1080Ti 16GB RAM Samsung 256GB SSD Thrustmaster T16000m HOTAS

Good question. I'm actually not really sure how I want to proceed. For my own use I like the assets pack, it keeps it simple to enable/disable and I can put a prefix to easily identify the assets in game. But the asset packs tend to get really big which a lot of users don't like. The Swedish pack is around 12 GB at the moment. And the Swedish pack isn't really a pack at the moment either, it's more of a bundle of separate assets in a large zip. So I'd love to get more user input on this matter. 1 _____________________________________________________________ Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill Questions about my assets - check my FAQ!
