Is the GSH cannon on the 24P capable of penetrating a MBT? I'm thinking in terms of the benefits of using it over the GSH-23 gun pods. (Other then the obvious factor of having two extra hard points)

 

I wouldn't count on it, cannons really are for strafing lightly armoured or unarmoured targets and are typically ineffective against the armour on most MBTs, of course top-down shots and side (hull) shots will probably yield results - not sure how DCS models armour.

 

Heck even the GAU-8 doesn't exactly make mincemeat out of the better armoured tanks.

The 30 x 165 mm Round with Armour-Piercing Tracer Projectile is intended to engage light armoured targets.

/ Moved to chit chat and merged with the old thread

 

Sorry BIGNEWY but why this topic was moved to chit-chat (Reality sub-group) ?

It's a main topic of a possible next module of DCS ! Nothing to do with reality...

It was just a question in the disucussion on the Mi-24 canon, notting more. All the rest of the disussion was linked to the possible Mi-24 DCS module...

A topic similar to the F/A-18C meanwhile BSK dont create a Module section in the forum. That post has very good as others.

GSh-30-2 is probably the most powerful aircraft cannon after GAU-8 in the sim. There's also Ka-50's 2A42, but they are very similar with Gsh-30 series anyway.

 

There's also the MiG-15Bis with N-37D but I doubt it is a high velocity armor piercing kind of desing.

 

So it will probably have some capability of hurting things like T-55 and M-60 from weaker angles like behind, sides, or above. More modern things, even from weaker spots I think you'll only nick them.

 

You'll make a mess of lighter armor like Bradleys, BMPs etc. GSh-23 isn't all that great against them, it can deal with them but takes some skill and effort.

Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V

I wouldn't expect to do any tank busting with it thanks to the extreme accuracy of AI MG gunners in DCS, but it should wreck squishier stuff.

I will like some more info about this Helicopter. Maybe one picture of work in progress, please.

 

As ED plan the P version, is pretty sure we will get the RWR of this powerful version.

 

In the video below you can see the RWR in 0:55min. There you can see to the right side the classic RWR we already keep in touch in game in our RU aircrafts. Just notice the left side we get a kind of modulation knob with a digital display that show MHz and KHz and This should be a kind of signal receiver knob for the automatic flare dispenser depending the power of the signal received then automatically the countermeasures will be dispensed.

 

Any better idea about this interesting stuff?

Language barrier. Pretty sure it is the top priority ED module now and next inline for release from them. BST resumed work after the F-5 was released last year. I suspect it was paused again for the Hornet but it can't be all that far from completion given how long they've been at it.
