Ground forces sim battle is actually really fun

too bad they never fucking run it anymore

So been out of the loop for a while. Whats in the pipeline for DCS, currently?

As far as I know

>Announced
F-15C AFM/ASM
Mirage F.1

>In Development
F-14
F/A-18C
AV-8B
AT-27

What am I missing? What am I wrong on?

>>149649520

F-15 already has AFM

There's a Mirage III in development, VEAO has the P-40 in the works, AJS-37 by leatherneck at some point

>>149649520

They're add MLP/FIM variants also in a couple years

>>149649402
They do its like a preselection of tanks and aircraft. I wish they would bring the old sim back though I did not get to play that way much because I did not have a joystick

Main things holding back the DCS experience:

Shitty explosion effects - this is either slacking or bad taste

Shitty gun/bomb/rocket release sounds and shitty cockpit noise sounds - this is caused by amateur sound engineers thinking what the microphone records = what the human ear hears. Only way to get close to authentic sounds is to sculpt the sound subjectively i.e. add a bunch of bass to simulate the warthog cannon vibrating below your ass

>>149650614

The shitty sounds are easily fixed with soundmods- most of diveplanes stuff is good, and the genuine huey sounds mod is ABAP

>>149650909
idk why they would do high quality flight models and artwork on the planes then fuck up the sound so badly

do they just not hire actual sound designers?

>>149650995

Probably not. They very consistently fuck up sound.

If I'm understanding this correctly, what you're supposed to do is aim the pipper yourself so that in the time it takes for your shells to hit the target after being fired, the target would've flown to the position your pipper is currently pointed at when you originally fired them.

Honestly it just seems like an overly complicated explaination of Kentucky windage but I may be missing something.

Is it true that the mig21 radar is broken right now?

If you were going against F-5s, then maybe it was because those are tiny, if compared to say, a bomber or a meatier fighter aircraft (F-15s and whatnot)

I didn't have much trouble acquiring a B-52 at 30km or so distance whilst being vectored by AI GCI.

>>149670937
Pretty much this.
Not sure if just due to it's WIP nature and the size but I rarely see F5s on the MIGs radar.

The AI in DCS are really inconsistent.

On anything but expert I feel like they're useless, but set them on Expert and suddenly their planes' performance no longer matters and they have eyes in the back of their heads. Fuckers start shooting flares basically any time you get close, as well, and always when you're on their six, so you're usually gonna waste a missile or two because fuck you.

You don't even need to do that with an AIM-7

You just need to have him within the angle of the antenna, cant remember what the degree is but you this thing called cranking where u turn 50 degrees from the target both ways and pull in the throttle, so your missile goes far but you dont

>>149707093
Steer dot is only important for when you launch. After that is irrelevant for any middle the F-15 uses.

>>149707421
Missile*

>>149705253
>You keep the steer-dot in the circle
You don't even have to do that, just keep him locked. The steering dot is simply to guide you to the best pitch and heading to get the best loft and lead for a kill on the locked target. Simply put, if you can keep the dot in the circle as the missile comes off the rail you'll have the best range and probability of a kill assuming the target doesn't try to evade.

For keeping a target locked in the F-15 after you fire an AIM-7, you need to keep it within +/- 70 degrees horizontal and +/- 35 degrees vertical

e.g. a 140deg horizontal and 70deg vertical cone in the front hemisphere

>>149710189
to clarify, it wont make it any more accurate to keep the target centered once you fire, you just need to keep the plane angled within that cone so the missile doesn't go blind

when you watch some people in youtube vids use the AIM-7 they use it in close like an AIM-9 because they just center it and go full afterburner - the way they used it in desert storm was to fire it at full afterburner then pull the throttles in and snake left and right and up and down within the 140deg horizontal/70degree cone to get maximum seperation

Any good 'space dogfight' novels written with an attention to realism, if that makes sense?

A realistic sci-fi 'aviation' fighter-squadron series, I guess would be the summary.

To be honest I loved the X-Wing Rogue Squadron series growing up; something like that but perhaps written by a veteran fighter pilot.

Would the Hawk and L-39 be any trouble if you threw them into matches with the MiG-21 and F-5?

>>149712458
Much lower T/W, no radar or RWR, but it's obviously not as bad as putting them against 4th gen aircraft.

>>149712559

Do you think your favorite flavor of icecream can stack up against 4th gen fighters though?

>>149712559
The Hawk can actually get up to a decent speed and carries a very similar load out to the F-5, It just has no ranging radar, afterburner or RWR. And one 30mm instead of 2x20mm

Yeah, basically having all-aspect heaters in a WVR fight is enough by itself to create trouble. This is actually where all the autism about F-5Es being 4th gen slayers comes from

Basically in an exercise in the 70s or 80s, they gave F-5 aggressors all-aspect AIM-9s and restricted the F-15s and whatever to making visual ID before they could shoot. The F-5s traded with the F-15s at something like a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio despite being shittier in almost every respect. Anyway the lesson was that it actually was more cost effective to lose two or three or four 2 million dollar planes to shoot down a thirty million dollar plane than the other way around and this eventually led to the lightweight fighter competition and the F-16A, which eventually mission-crept back into an expensive multirole superfighter

In DCS if you go into F4 view and then reposition the camera to face forward on the nose and get the speed up to 500 knots/military power in a fighter, then set the time acceleration to x30 that's the exact speed of an ICBM

with the time acceleration if you go at the top speed of a scud (4500 knots) its quite easy to control. the top secret SR-72's alleged top speed (2900 knots) is a piece of piss you can go under bridges

So the F-5's AA2 mode computes lead but only with a manual lock, and AA1 works in dogfight mode and is supposed to compute lead, but doesn't?

>good battalion- or higher-level ground combat sim games
There's Combat Mission of course, it usually operates in lower levels (few companies n stuff), but IIRC there ARE scenarios for battalion sized battles. Please investigate. Be warned though, that micromanagement _IS_ real and it's worsely optimized (and has a worse business modell) than DCS. (and looks shitty) There are individual games for Normandy/Italy/'44 Eastern Front/Ardennes for WW2 setting and has a modern game (set in 2018?, I dunno -- but no tom clany bullshit) for a hypotethical war between US (+Ukraine) and Russia.
ignore Shock Force and Afghanistan, those are trash

They have demos for each game, which all have enought content to judge if you're into that style of game. Otherwise you can't torrent them, except for an ancient version of the Normandy game which is like the vanilla version with no updates.

I've just looked at some of the demo videos for 4.0 and it looks like absolute garbage.

The geometry isn't anything special, the particle effects are something I'd expect from a game 5-6 years ago. The textures are all low-res.

Most Russian planes lovers are really not like what I mentioned at all. I have met a few that were F-15 teir delusional though. Roofies on the 104th is a prime example of that.

Literally never ever

Hang on for a couple years and we'll have straight of Hormuz full-fidelity carrier ops with F-18s and F-14Ds, supported by Emirati and Qatari Mirage 2000s, battling Iranian F-14As, Mig-21s (pretend they're J-7s), Mirage F.1s and F-5s for control of the persian gulf while A-7s and AV-8Bs fly strike missions

Wew

Still could use a MiG-29

Otherwise, Hormuz should be the map, nevada is like trainers:the map while hormuz will be like our F/A18 white whale holy grail

>reminder that the F-5 flight yesterday got removed

What kind of cool planes do you think we'll see in development once Trump kills NATO and all of Europe needs to start defending itself?

> try MiG-21 campaign
> fumbling around in the dark looking for enemy fighters AWACS called out
> find one, lock, move in for R-3R launch
> get removed by S-300

I thought they fixed the RWR behavior?

No, we have an -3 standard F-5E, which is not a US exclusive aircraft. In fact for a long time US aggressor F-5Es didn't have an RWR at all.
