E-8 Joint STAR

This would be an interesting asset to add. An AWACS for the detection of ground vehicles.

+1 for sure. I just retired from the 116th. I was one of the most senior electricians on that pig, and it is a pig. It's got a character about it for sure. Being a modified aircraft make it "interesting" to work on. I went all over the world with that thing. I've even been onboard for some IRL missions. It did great work, and is still pretty relevant. It's absence from DCS has always struck me as odd. Of course the radars performance is classified. I don't even know the full capabilities, but I can tell you it is impressive. But it belongs in the mid 2000's era that the modern DCS modules occupie. They could certainly guess the radar performance of an Ai model. It would be an awesome AFAC jet. I guess the difficulty would be that it doesn't have a visual on the target. But it should be able to serve as an AFAC. Hell we have Predators and Reapers doing that role. 

While I was serving I used to wish they would implement it so I could come home from work and kill it. I probably would kill it as part of my morning routine now, lol. Just gun the crap out of it with the Tomcat every morning. I was hoping to outlast it. But unfortunately my spine had other ideas.

A long shot but this and a Rivet Joint + a Compass Call. There's mods for them but they deserve to be in the core game.
