Praise the lord.

I wish they would have picked something western and not so outdated. I'm sure some Russian is about to inform me how modern the Backfire really is...

>>29888354
It's the most modern big bomber you're going to get from Russia. They only got access to this through Ukraine. Russia probably wouldn't hand out systems modelling on the TU-160 which is the next one up.

>>29888242
big plane. Tiny bombs

>>29888377
Fair enough. I'm still gonna buy it. Imma just gonna complain about it.

Finally, a module that isn't another fucking light attack/trainer.

Better bombs

AJS-37 Viggen, F-14 and now this. If they keep this up I won't get around to killing myself until well into the 2020s

on the bright side, now I've experienced as much physical exertion as it gets in the Air Force

>>29888414
singles seat flyboys are the jews of DCS

always shitting on any suggestion that isn't an air superiority fighter and making up reasons of why they won't work in DCS

>>29888741
>always shitting on any suggestion that isn't an air superiority fighter

?

Su-25, A-10C, SA342, Mi-8, Huey and Black Shark modules are hardly air superiority, and there others that are multirole.

Air superiority is in the minority.

>>29888808
Difference between what people are suggesting and what's on offer. But the devs are starting to take suggestions and the fighter jocks concern troll about the other roles

Did they announce the AH-1 or was that speculation? They tend to announce things and go quiet. Still waiting on more news from my P-47.

>>29888818
Maybe suggesting air superiority is fine then considering theres literally a single aircraft dedicated to it and numerous ones that focus on ground attack.

Multiroles would be better though.

Look like FAB-1500.
And also cheked

>>29888885
> 69 × FAB-250
Holy shit, are the russians still using these for bombing runs?
The fuck would you bomb with 69 FAB 250?

>>29888909
Probably a single target considering their CEP

>>29888929
what target could need 69 x FAB 250?

>>29888909
area bombing like gori 2008

>>29888497
>9g

Poor guy must be suffering.

Do you actually need top physical condition to do this shit?

>>29888981
afaik its a crapshoot whether you are good at handling G's, biggest factors that help are being smaller and having higher blood pressure

>>29889000
Damn, didn't know that. I always thought being bigger, heavier and more muscular would help much more.

IIRC 9g was the max you could experience in fighter jets, is that right?

>>29889006
Sustained for any length of time 9Gs is pretty much pushing it for even top-tier pilots in G-Suits.

Instantaneous? People have survived triple digits.

"Moderate" "rebels".
