Not a fault of DCS that you can simulate all kinds of battles. It's a good thing. It's a shot in the foot. People will rush to buy a "super laser", 'cause no one likes loosing. This will cause other side, that is getting hammered, to do the same and the sales will spike. After that it will turn into a F-35 simulator. You can't really hide behind havig options, 'cause the people that run servers have the pressure of keeping them full - see paragraph above. i5-4690K CPU 3.50Ghz @ 4.10GHz; 32GB DDR3 1600MHz; GeForce GTX 1660 Super; LG IPS225@1920x1080; Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB; Windows 10 Pro

I started this thread to provide constructive open-source data to ED if anyone finds it for the F-35. I would like to keep it that way please so the community can assist ED if possible. I do not want this thread closed down. I will say as a free content creator, myself, Kandy, and Zipper created the "Into The Jungle" Coop mission that many have run on a dedicated server as well as the ED servers. We have multiple modules on the mission. Some aircraft far exceed others in performance. The key is to provide each player with a role specific platform to their choosing. Ours is a little unique where we do not have opposing red force players but randomized AI units. I have flown on those servers as well though as the red opponent and did not feel cheated. If there are concerns of an unfair advantage on public servers with a superior platform, I would highly encourage you to check out all the open virtual squadrons. There are plenty that range from casual to mid-mil sim, to straight mil sim. This would prevent the concerns you have of unfair advantages when playing on the opposing side. You could also find some people you trust and set up your own server to fly with them. That is what the boys and I do. One more thing I feel I must point out because this is not the first time I have heard it, you are absolutely correct Blue Force units hold the advantage on the battlefield in DCS. It is the same in real life, so in actuality, DCS is crushing it. American Military superiority dominates the red aircraft, so it should not really be a shocker that the F-35 would join that party. If you need real life examples, look at the Air-to-Air combat engagements from Desert storm/Deseret Shield going forward and convince me we have not dominated the skies since. One last keynote. We have never been under any pressure of keeping a server full. Anyone who hosts a server through ED or dedicated is not making money off of it and has no real incentive to keeping them full. A lot of times, its way for friends to link up and fly and most do not go through the hassle of launching a dedicated server or password protecting their ED server. I support the F-35 development and acknowledge it for what it is and will become in DCS. I think you will be just fine continuing to find servers where you are not getting smoked left and right if you are a red force guy. But if that becomes the case when the Lightning II is released, then welcome to 5th gen fighter reality against aging Russian equipment lol. Edited 13 hours ago by Devil 505 3
