I guess glide bombs are that overpowered thats everything needed to make Chinese CAS “OP”. Well there isnt any fire and forgets other than glide bombs and two vastly inferior X-29Ts.
Which Litening pod is that tho
Btw any word on if we getting a new blog or was only the hopkins?
I would love to see a proper air sim map. Like a HUGE one. One you have to use air refueling. One that has thearter defense systems you have to dodge/take out. I want to be scrambled to defend a scud missile attack agasint a friendly base or airfield. I want there to be AWACs!

It’s II and III but it is also all I have RN
Another mistake is the following. In reality, such air defense systems as the 2S6 Tunguska or ADATS should never operate in close proximity to tanks. For example, the cost of 1 Tunguska in the 1980s was approximately 3 T-72 tanks (and maybe 3 T-80 tanks, which were extremely expensive for the USSR), which is very expensive for equipment that can be destroyed by any harmless equipment with a large-caliber machine gun, tank, etc. According to army instructions, Tunguskas should operate at least 2-3 km from the front line (places where tanks and other equipment are), if possible, in cover.
It is easy to guess that the same applies to ADATS and other SAM systems, their cost is simply colossal, this is hinted at by the complete lack of armor or armor with a thickness of paper (7-15 mm) In the game, the idiocy of the gameplay forces many to drive into tanks, after which they instantly die, becoming easy prey.
Although it is interesting to listen to the fools among the military commission who wanted to make ADATS fight tanks, at most its missiles could be for self-defense, this is hinted at by the lack of a tandem warhead. An encounter with a tank is a guaranteed death for the SAM.
Upd:
I found other values for the range of 1.5 km from the front line according to the Soviet combat manual of the 1980s. But in my opinion, this is stupid, if the SAM is not hidden from the enemy, it will be instantly destroyed, a very expensive loss. The one who wrote the distance of 1.5 km never encountered a strong dangerous enemy, but participated only in sand games (combat exercises) and parades. I do not know what ranges are in NATO combat manuals, maybe the situation there is much better.
China should be well improved if they receive the SU-30MKK
I want it so large that you have to fly high to conserve fuel.
We need a SIM rework!!
no, it just has many KH-29, not IR FNF, so not a true top CAS.
RIP Air RB EC
RB EC can stay, but ykwim I want sim to feel more like sim. I want to be called to escort a B-17 formation with a P51. I want teams to be larger with the way bigger maps.
Most people play WT sim becuase they can’t afford something to play DCS on. Most of them will take a rework with very large smiles.
Su-30MKK does not offer anything impressive however. For CAS its either KD-88 on JH-7A and J-10A or J-16 with a much more diversed array of A2G
I said RIP RB EC, as the snail has forgotten about the game mode entirely.

Ohh srry
Huh, a brochure from 2023 for Litening II, dunno.
Anyways, most mentions I can find state a 1k x 1k CCD resolution and a 640x480 FLIR resolution for the Litening III
Ingame the Litening III has a FLIR resolution of 1200x800 however

Yeah, but also a lot of USAF aircraft are switching to Lockheed Sniper pod.
Are the servers back to normal?
Look at the Ram tank for example, it’s a cruiser tank, but it’s classified as a Medium.
So who knows.
Might be one of the whole “depends who you ask” type deal.
Germans called the Panthers a Medium tank, while I think the Russians/Americans classified it as a Heavy?
