A few months have passed since the announcement of the MiG-29 9.12A. Nevertheless, I still see frequent comments about the inutility of the Fulcrum against the upcoming F-35 and other post 2010s fighters. And every time I ask myself: why do people bother?
DCS players see the game in multiple ways. Some like to just depart and shoot. Others like to plan with their Section or Flight. Others again like to expand the previous by adding correlated asset coordination: controllers, tankers, EW assets, et cetera. Realism, or lack thereof, affects these multiple categories of players differently.
To follow up on the recent question I asked on this channel, here are some additional thoughts and considerations regarding the upcoming Full Fidelity MiG-29 9.12A developed by Eagle Dynamics.
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.
This article should have been released a few weeks ago, along the related video about engaging jamming aircraft. I took a longer route instead, discussing the topic with the community first (on r/hoggit and elsewhere), and receiving lots of interesting comments. Long story short, DCS has a ton of issues when it comes to combat and interaction between different objects.
Another post written while killing time and bored to death whilst on holiday. This time, some thoughts about VR and 2D.
