Except WT and DCS aren’t comparable in most aspects. One is a MMO, F2P game, the other is a study level sim.
One is somewhat acceptable (given the development time and effort that goes into developing practically every aspect of functionality possible, and in most cases where that functionality doesn’t yet exist, DCS devs support and improve their models)
Whereas the other is perceived as not acceptable because a) the development time and effort required for an aircraft in WT is substantially lower than that of a WT aircraft, and b) the functionality you get out of a WT Jet is far lower than that of a DCS. Hell, in DCS if you pay much more than 20 quid you expect a fully fleshed cockpit that is interactive in most instances, and has a PFM and decent radar modelling to boot.
And they don’t have the godawful grind that WT does. Two sides to the same coin.
Also, I take issue with the skins, I’ve seen some excellent, highly detailed skins for those jets, just as WT has excellent creators too.
I believe it was proven in testing that Gripen could carry R-darter but due to cost cutting the missile was retired before further testing needed for the operational capability. I don’t see the point of removing it when possible as it leaves a once filled gap in the uk tt
I haven’t gotten to it yet, currently researching the Type 63, I had a lot of fun using the Object 211 so I’m looking towards the Type 63 as I’m researching it, but the Type 62 is right after I’m done
Unique? They literally made the another plain grå viggen and made the TT have the old premium model. Literally everytime they make a minor nation vehcile thwy go out of there way to avoid spending 2 seconds finding unique camos to try and make them stick out a bit well unless you’re russia or the US.
How much AIM-120C-5 better compared to AIM-120B?
PS hate F-18 honestly, they could add early EFT already instead of massacring Switzerland into a subtree of big nation.
F-2 early or XF-2A could be a premium at this point, looking at the JA37Di. It wouldn’t have top tier ordinance so it would qualify.
F-2 late with J/APG-2 (for WT it’s just more range but that just puts it in parity with current top tier radar ranges) seems fine though I don’t expect AAM-5 anytime soon as I’m not sure we’ll see the AIM-9X and IRIS-T soon.
I have +5000 hours and spent +2000EUR on the game and I have yet to recieve a single reply from Smin in the last 5 years I use forum lmao. Like people ask the dumbest shit here and he gives a reply 0.1ms later and when I actually have an important question, he ignores me. It´s not even like I spam ping him. I probably pinged him like 5 times in the past year.
Yesterday I asked him about decompression to at least 14.0 since the F-15E recieved improved engines.
Smin - crickets.
5-10 minutes later he answers like 10 people in a row.
Dunno man… It feels like: We extracted enough hours and money from you, so fuck you. That´s exactly how it feels.
Smin is not required to answer every single question especially when they are questions for the devs, he gets pinged like 200 times a day, he moderates the forum from all you hooligans who go offtopic every 3 minutes.
You gotta see it from their perspective, is this something Smin knows the answer to, and if he does, is he allowed to say?
And if he doesn’t know, is it important enough to warrant chasing a dev for an answer? It could also be that there simply isn’t time to do this?
Maybe because those silly questions are very easy to answer
I agree decompression is an important issue, but again, Smin is not a dev. He probably doesn’t know. In all likelihood, the best he can say is “wait for official news”.
It may feel like that, but I almost guarantee that’s not the intent. I believe Smin is trying his best.
My advice would be to be persistent but polite. Maybe try again some other time of day. You will get an answer eventually.
