Worth it on sale??? or wait another 6 months?

The JF-17 was released " feature complete", waiting 6 months won't bring anything to the module, you should decide based on how interested you are in the aircraft and your wallet.

 

I haven't flown mine much (~12 hours) but that's down to the number of modules I own, rather than anything being "wrong" with the JF-17 - it's performed well in all the missions I've created for it and has some nice/unique features.

 

It just isn't as iconic/familiar (or have the same number of DCS bugs) as the M-2000C, F/A-18C, AV-8B, etc., so doesn't get the attention it deserves from me.

 

YMMV.

Bought Jeff on release. Few things were WIP, but overall was pretty much feature complete. It's also my main plane I use.

 

Love Deka as developer too - good interaction with users and very fast response to problems and fixes.

One problem - not enough pylons) and ofcourse HMCS. Love this jet.

 

Embrace this limitation! 

 

Though Block III seems to have provisions for cheek mounted hardpoint.

If Block I can receive such update, and if PAF decides to implement this, maybe we will get this additional hardpoint in the future... Like 5-10 years from now...

Even without the Block III version there.  I can do just fine with the 7 hardpoints it has now.  

 

It's a light fighter, not a Su-27 or F-15E, people need to understand this. 

 

Still one of the best modern modules in DCS.  And ED could learn from Deka and RAZBAM on the stores modeling, having g limitations is real and fun.

In case you still doubt or for anyone who reads me now ... buy it without hesitation! I hesitated one year and now I make up for lost time without my favorite jet ... 😍

And the vapour cone too, it's displayed in certain conditions. Can't believe DCS as a whole doesn't have it!

Yeah I noticed it last night when I was defending against a player in a F-15C who launched ALL of the Amraams at me.  I had four of them at one time behind me.

It is one of the best modules in DCS.  Beautifully done, many toys to play with and unique as well in terms of MFDs, how they are set up, HUD information, of course various types of weapons.  I bought it quite a while ago but have only really just started flying it on a regular basis and it is most enjoyable.

Dude, it was worth it on launch day, it literally launched basically feature complete the best module launch DCS has ever had. Just needed some bug fixing.

 

Also great news about EXP/DBS, getting those boys designated who are close together is hard.
