Right now, US and russian illuminating bombs works prettry well in DCS, i use them in night operations.

Is there a chance of receiving at some point any model of illumination bomb for the Mirage F1?. You know, those things were used at the time when those planes were flying and it opens up the possibility for night operations. And before anyone says it, no, those illuminating rockets are awful.

When there are only "two weeks" left...

How do i feel at this point...

Is this RuAF spec? https://newsbeezer.com/vietnameng/russian-pilot-bombed-syrian-rebels-with-us-gps/

I agree with you in almost everything you said, I said all about the lack of realism about the scenarios just to demonstrate how absurd it is to make a drama about the date of manufacture of the module, or the realism in having nvg, when we have in DCS a lot of even more controversial situations. I have years designing missions in dcs, I know very well that it is necessary to bend reality a little from time to time. This is why I do not understand or justify the controversy with the implementation of nvg in the hind, nobody forces you to use it, it is optional, it can even be deactivated. We know that it is common for each country to implement its own modifications to these helicopters and experiment with new technologies, even if it wasn't designed for that, so it is not a break with reality to allow it, as long as you experience the problems that you should have in a cockpit not adapted for nvg, and YES, you will experience that. You need to turn of almost all the lights, lower the hud brightness and you'll be blinded every time you shoot something, but i think it is useful for navigation (specially at low altitude), and this is VERY important for any attack helicopter in modern scenarios. So people who like extreme realism can lock the NVGs in the editor and fight the Mujahideen in Afghanistan around the Burj Khalifa in the 80s.

Speaking of realism, it's funny that some people worry about the helicopter's manufacturing date, but not the fact that they expect it to be used on missions in Afghanistan in the 80s, folks, we don't have an Afghanistan scenario in DCS, we also don't have a scenario from the 80s or 70s, you criticize the lack of realism in the implementation of the helicopter, and at the same time pretend to imagine that Dubai in 2010s is Afghanistan in the 80s, are you serious?. Most of the scenarios we have in DCS are from 2000s+, the oldest is Caucasus, which is based on the mid-90s, even the liveries of the mi-24 are contemporary!, people don't realize that the helicopter that we have in DCS is still flying today by some countries, almost exactly the same, with small modifications, we have to think about the Hind, as a vanilla version of what several countries fly today. I'm sorry but it's hard to take you seriously when you demand realism and pretend to fight the mujahideen over nevada casinos, if we really want realism, we must understand that DCS offers us possibilities between 90s-2010. (or WW2) This is the realism you want?

I don't think that having night vision goggles on the helicopter is a big deal, first of all because it is optional and second because it seems to be practical, at least for low-level navigation, but not for combat operations. Keep in mind that the fact that the helicopter is a model produced since 1972 does not mean that you have to use it in a mission based on 1972. This helicopter is still flying today, with almost no modifications in some cases. Each country has made its own improvements, such as adding modern communication systems or GPS systems (just plugging it in some place), but it remains almost exactly the same. So being able to use any accessory from the modern world should not be seen as a crime or a challenge to reality, because it has been shown that despite not being designed for that, they can be used. I agree that it is unrealistic to have nvg in a mission set in the 70s or 80s, because that technology was not yet available and there is no precedent for that to happen, but we also do not have a scenario based on the 70s in DCS, so you decide. "Mi-24P (Hind-F) The gunship version, which replaced the 12.7mm machine-gun with a fixed side-mounted 30mm GSh-30-2K twin-barrel autocannon. Often fitted with night vision goggles for use in the Hunter-killer Role." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mil_Mi-24_variants

Jammer was active, that makes any difference? R27-ER is suppoused to be a semi-active missile, it can't guide itself... right?
