BrzI Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I see the encyclopedia actually has some submarine launched cruise missiles. Are there any plans to add the ability for submarines to launch these from underwater while underway ? I totally understand that for what is primarily a flight simulator that is not a must-have - but it would be nice... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu_69 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Since operating submarines are invisible, a sub-launched cruise missile is easy to simulate. Just trigger an explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrzI Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Yes, but how do you get a submarine to actually launch anything ? Trigerrign an explosion is just part of everything that needs to happen. -launch platform waypoints -speed -depth -arms complement -target designation (this one is possible at the moment afaik) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu_69 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 DCS is a flight simulator, so I am addressing the pilot's (player's) experience. All a pilot will observe of a SLCM attack is the explosion. Any other effects really serve no purpose except cinematics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) DCS is a flight simulator, so I am addressing the pilot's (player's) experience. All a pilot will observe of a SLCM attack is the explosion. Any other effects really serve no purpose except cinematics. What if you want to chase after it or try and shoot it down or try some ASW. And like it or not DCS 1.5 and 2.5 had 'cinematics' at their core... I hope ED do at some time in the future implement submerged weaponry - the Mk66 Quickstrike is planned for the Hornet, and ASW aircraft are a thing - I mean, literally every naval helicopter I can think of has at least the capability for ASW if not orientated specifically for it.
