At the beginning of August 2024, I made a video about how only the unlucky guy at the receiving end of the missiles would defend when SAMs targeted a formation. To my surprise, ED promptly reacted and improved how AI formations are affected. These are, a few months later than I planned, some considerations about such a patch.
DCS’ AI is dated. Although ground assets’ defects may marginally affect the experience of the player, the air-to-air side has plenty of more tangible issues. One of the most egregious is the AI’s ability to react instantaneously to threats and regain awareness.
Only a few days before the release of the classic DCS’ “and beyond” video, coming the 16th of January. Here are some thoughts about the announcement.
After a few months collecting data, I have finally finished a new thrust-to-weight fuel & performance model. However, the amount of data is so huge that I had to break it down into multiple discussions. This is the first one, and we start with a bang with one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever designed: the F-14 Tomcat.
Following the extensive introduction of the previous Part I, we now dive into a more direct comparison of DCS’s active radar-homing missiles, using the same modus operandi, with a neat variation in the 10,000ft test.
There are several different Active Radar Homing missiles in DCS. This study aims to discuss and compare them, to use them better, and defend from them more effectively.
The first chapter of the study introduces the ARH missiles and the so-called “First Launch Opportunity”, along with missile performance and ranges.
