Larzei Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Many of us nordic and scandinavian DCS players are looking forward to the Kola Map -if it would release one day. The latest and only news on this is from september 22 in the Orbx subforum, so it would be nice if anyone could provide an little update on this one. 21 A-4E, F-5, F-18, F-16, UH-1H, KA-50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) We did get a tease of an update from (presumably) the Orbx Discord (posted in the unofficial roadmap thread). But yes, very much looking forward to the Kola map - it's easily my most anticipated map by a long shot. Perhaps now that this forum has finally been opened after all this time suggests that we might be closer to getting an update?

flecktyphus Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 This is going to be THE map for me. No doubt. Georgia is okay, but lacks proper pine and fir forests, big open marshes, Northern mountain ranges... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Would love to see this map used with the Viggen and Tomcat. It seems by far the best Cold War setting we will have in the game. Completely unenthused for yet another 21st century TGP smart bomb plinking campaign. edit: not implying anything about BD, Reflected or their previous campaigns. They are the best thing this game has going for it. My comment was aimed at the choice of aircraft and the way they seem to be inevitably employed in DCS.

Caveman655 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I would love to see a remake of the campaign for Jane's F/A-18 once the map comes out. I know the original is the Super Hornet and not the Legacy Hornet we have but thats fine. One of my favorite user files campaigns is a remake of the Iran campaign from Jane's F-15 (albeit it is modified to use the F-14). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
