SemperFi Posted Thursday at 10:33 AM Posted Thursday at 10:33 AM (edited) Hello, I enjoy playing Combined Arms. Unfortunately, the controls are very cumbersome. And the topography is too imprecise for ground troops. Would it be possible to develop Combined Arms as an RTS-like wargame? Just a small version with a third camera perspective and a simple interface? I know resources are limited, but I think it could enrich the game. Edited Thursday at 10:34 AM by SemperFi 5
TomCruise Posted Thursday at 12:34 PM Posted Thursday at 12:34 PM Even in VR, Combined Arms is unusable. When you’re in a vehicle, the displays are completely messed up, and aiming is impossible. RTS games — even very good ones — are sometimes perfectly programmed by solo developers. So it should be possible for DCS to at least implement a basic version. Marking and moving units, performing simple tasks, and so on — that should be doable in 2025.

The shop even says its not supported. In the future we would like to redo combined arms, maybe a combined arms 2, but I have no news to share at this time, our teams are already very busy with other projects and tasks. thank you 5 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

SemperFi Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago With this post, I just want to demonstrate the potential of DCS as an RTS. The concept of playing a wargame or a sea power game, supported by friends, flying air strikes against another tactical commander. This is already possible in DCS, but it's very cumbersome. VR isn't relevant for the tactical perspective.
