  1. Yes, DCS needs Marine Corps rotary wing and it feels like it's missing them badly. AH-64 does nothing for me. Attack helos need to be moving around a lot and they should be built for the sea.
  2. I'd take an RF-4 module before an F-4E. The missions are pretty interesting, from the RF-4B to the RF-4EJ. Lots of cool stuff out there.
  3. The F-4E would be more interesting if they added these sorts of capabilities. I'm really holding out for a J or an S though.
  4. OK Devs, did you forget about this or perhaps still don't know about it?
  5. You have to choose the complete loadout from the loadout menu. You can't choose it individually.
  6. Hello, I think there should be smoke rockets available for the LAU-68 and the the LAU-10 pods. These are referenced in Hammer from Above: Marine Air Combat Over Iraq. Will you add them to the DCS Hornet so we can use these?
  7. Aerges could decide on that and they should
  8. I cannot get the Shahed to fire by using attack group, attack unit or fire at point. Does anyone know how to get them to work?
  9. I'll be sure to take care of myself and get yearly checkups until then
  10. You guys expect way too much if you are counting on a thin air promise that 'it's being planned'. If you want vaporware, all you have to do is look around.
  11. There's tons of MiG-21F overlap with the F-4E, but actually more so with F-4B, C and D. The bis is sort of a choice without a home, unless you would still want to go ahead and place the bis in the same arena as F-15s and the like. If you want to dogfight in the most likely of times and places, then the MiG-21F is your best choice. Then there's all the J-7 and F-7 variants, many of which but not most are nearly identical to the MiG-21F. The PF and PFM are okay, but have too many compromises for a sole focus in DCS - but if we are being aspirational, then a spread including the -F-13, -PF, and -PFM are what we need to cover the most active times where the MiG performed its intended role. To me, I'm not looking forward to placing the bis on the Afghanistan map, and the Afg map seems like a total fool's errand for the series; bomb huts in an Su-25 or do unending orbits in an A-10. No thanks. PS the MF is an awesome beast, and would have been a better choice than the bis.
  12. Noirth Korea deployed to Egypt to fly MiG-21s, which I'm thinking included -Fs.
  13. The F-13 had a great T/W ratio and a lower wing loading. The bis is a bloated pig, in comparison. As has been said, the F-13 has plenty of company when considering its very long service life and integration into F-7 models. It's the one version of the MiG-21 you literally can't miss with.
  14. If install this but disable it using the internal settings menu in DCS, will it still continue to fail integrity check?
  15. The bis is the most bloated version that was obsolescent before it went into production. The F-13 was on par or exceeded its competition, and as was said before became the basis for many similar variants and copies. We would get a LOT more mileage out of the F-13 than we are getting with the bis.
  16. The F-13 wouldn't at all be out of place, since it was in continuous use all over the world. Especially in any Asian map, it has a home. At least as much as our WWII stuff. I may have misremembered the exact type of MiG-21s used, but those Pakistani F-104s were not able to beat the MiG-21's low level acceleration, similar to how American Phantoms were surprised to be outdistanced by MFs in 1972 at low level.
  17. I disagree about the PFM being less desirable because the bis has taken some of its features. First, the PFM is lighter and more nimble than the bis. Second, the PFM has an interesting cockpit and systems setup. Third, the PFM was of a time where it made sense to have a dedicated point interceptor rather than a multirole fighter. I also don't agree the MiG-19P developers stole the F-13's thunder in anyway. First, the MiG-19P is so rare and nuanced that not even MiG-19 fans want to fly it. Second, the F-13 is a much better fighter than both the MiG-19P and the bis. Third, historically speaking, the MiG-21F-13 is the aircraft that famously defeated the F-104s in low level energy fights; gave the Israelis a black eye; challenged US air supremacy over North Vietnam, and kept US fights at bay over Cuba. Further, it was also the basis for the nearly exact J-7I and was the true basis for the MiG-21 Red Eagles program. The MiG-21F-13 is a huge appeal, and the bis is sort of a crutch variant that really doesn't do a great job of representing the MiG-21 in DCS alone, at all.
  18. USAF exchange pilots said the MiG-29Gs were wired for R-27Ts but they were not deployed.
  19. We have a bunch of pretty milktoast trainers. Wouldn't is be great if we also got a MiG-29UB to spice it up? Besides they look cool, in a really ugly way, and have a nice punch.
