AndyJWest Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 If they've finally managed to give the Gazelle a plausible FM I'll be happy. If....
DD_fruitbat Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Casmo reviewed it on his twitch channel lastnight, got a big thumbs up, https://m.twitch.tv/videos/1838549493 At least one polychop guy was in the stream chat answering questions too Edited June 6, 2023 by DD_fruitbat

I also have heard it has very bad multi-crew integration, or is that a thing of the past? In any case, it seems like these days, there is something for everyone to be happy about or to look forward to (even you, lol!) Still think the Mi-8 is my favorite all time copter in DCS so far, and think it would be awesome if they gave it a facelift, including multi crew.

Fine. Gazelle? Not even close to being in control. With the new patch gazelle Get a lot of attention. New weapon layout totally new fm new aiming system. my setup is made for choppers. To me gazelle is a very responsive chopper I have a lot of fun with. With no tweaks on stick. But I find it a bit odd flying straight and level. Reviews say we have a treat 1
DD_fruitbat Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Well, i know what I'm likely to be doing tonight..... 4

Guest deleted@83466 Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Finally getting a look for myself at it, and yeah, pretty much like MiGCap's above, really going to be fun to explore

easterling77 Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Sinai looks gorgeous in all the pictures and videos and I will get it when the stable version (no early acces for me) will run it. For now I dont't have the time anyway (stumbling towards vacation^^) Edited June 14, 2023 by easterling77

Trooper117 Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 As the MiG-17 is now on the horizon, here's a little video that I hadn't seen before... MiG-17's vs F-105's.

The level of quality is great and I like the map a lot. Of course, this question is rhetorical, because we probably won't get a clear answer . But I suggest as another idea for next map:Vietnam or the Balkans. we are already negotiating, doing the terms of reference, we even have the first shots where I was able to fly. But until the contract is signed, I cannot say what it will be. But I will say one thing: - this map has long been requested by the users - and this is definitely not a desert map (enough, we ate enough sand during development ) Edited Saturday at 03:06 PM by OnReTech

IRL all the 105’s did was push the power up. Like a Lambo pulling away from a Abarth. A pilot on the FFP talks about MiG’s rolling in just 3 miles behind them. They just added power and even with missiles the MiGs just didn’t have the kinetics.
Trooper117 Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 There is no doubt that the F-105 had a better kill to loss rate than the MiG-17, yet the MiG's did shoot Thud's down. Another thing to remember is that the early MiG-17 didn't have an afterburner... (later versions did, the MiG-17F, I believe that we will be getting in DCS and was the most numerous version produced if I remember right).

Yep. "F" like in "Forsasch" (too lazy to load up cyrillic), in this context russian for "afterburner" or "reheat".

No doubt - they just had to catch the Thuds unawares or roll in close enough. I’m a fan of the MiGs..:always thought they were neat planes.
