Tango3B Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 As the title suggests, we are now in 2024 and the JF-17 is still one of the best modules in DCS. I recently started flying the JF-17 regularly in PvP again and it's just wonderful - still just wonderful. The flight model, the radar...everything. It's still just fun. So if you're still thinking about purchasing the JF-17...do it! You will not regret it. Yes, there are still bugs...there are some issues, but...but in my opinion there is nothing that is "game breaking" and the module is complete and out of EA. Also, and since the J-8 II has already been announced, I will definitely buy it, the JF-17 will continue to receive support, DEKA has done a great job over the years and so we are probably on the safe side here. Awww yes, the Jf-17...the Jefff...I just love that little thing. Thank you DEKA. Looking forward to the J-8 II! 12 1
Terrorban Posted April 10, 2024 Posted April 10, 2024 Definately agree with you there. I play a lot of modules but then always come back to this one as my main. I also use this module as benchmark for quality comparison. The little details, so many failures states and how flight affects the aircraft structure. This thing feels so real. After spending some time in JF, switching to other aircrafts make them feel a bit arcady with their flight characteristics. Deka really did put all their time and love in this jet and it shows. 1 Airplanes : A-10C II | AJS-37 | A/V-8B | F-4E | F-14A/B | F/A-18C | FC3 | JF-17 | M2000-C Helicopters : AH-64D | CH-47F | Ka-50 III | Mi-24P | Mi-8MTV2 | SA342 | UH-1H Other Modules : Combined Arms | Persian Gulf | Afghanistan TRAINED - LEARNING - LOW EXPERIENCE - ABANDONED

Falconeer Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 Yep, i can only agree with OP. One of the better module for DCS. Easy to learn, enough/decent weapons for different tasks, can hold it's own in a AA engagement, flight model is really nice and i love the 3 big screens. Would recommend and buy again any day 1 Planes: Choppers: Maps: Flaming Cliffs 3 Black Shark 2 Syria A-10C Tank killer 2 Black Shark 3 Persian Gulf F/A18C Hornet AH-64 Apache Mariana's F-16C Viper Afghanistan F-15E Strike Eagle Kola Peninsula Mirage 2000C AJS-37 Viggen JF-17 Thunder F-14 Tomcat F-4E Phantom
Flia Posted April 26, 2024 Posted April 26, 2024 I agree 100%. It is a very good module and a great aircraft. The avionics is really modern. If someone asks me whether I should buy the F-16 or the JF-17, for me the JF-17 is the clear winner. 2 PC: i7 9700K, 32 GB RAM, RTX 2080 SUPER, Tir 5, Hotas Warthog Throttle, VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Base with VPC MongoosT-50CM2 Grip, VKB-SIM T-RUDDER PEDALS MK.IV.

Iron Sights Posted April 27, 2024 Posted April 27, 2024 Getting back to the JF-17 in the last couple weeks. It is a joy to fly and is well done. Would love to them keep the updates coming. Great little all around jet. 1
jubuttib Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 My favorite plane module in the game, just so damn good and interesting. Shame about some of the recent bugs, but it happens. 1
deephack Posted April 29, 2024 Posted April 29, 2024 I also totally agree. I think the Jeff is one of the best modules in DCS as well as being refreshingly modern and just different. In addition Deka have modelled things which noone else has really modelled. The interaction with the ground crew, DTC, defog and the pilot getting cold.
