DCS seems a little sweaty at first glance and doesnt match that sim arcade itch that war thunder does, but i dot kinda want a HOTAS now that my PC can finally run DCS (got. a better PC recently) and i want VR goggles to try it with too but have no idea where to start yk. and DCS in most representations seems like a purely dogfight game although I’m sure its not. I should probably look into it
Depends entirely on server, I prefer the PvPvE style, so going on a mission to deal with some SAM site with HARMs, then dealing with enemy flankers in the AO, it’s not for the feint of heart gameplay wise but I personally enjoy the longer form matches and scenarios
Would literally be unable to play with 50% SL reduction. I’m already barely making like 20-40k sl for a 90 minute battle with my props, and my foolish idea to fly my sabre and demon left me broke.
F4U-4 costs like 4K to spawn, max income with 1050 score, 15 minute survival and landing… 730x15x0.92 = 10K. If I die after 15 mins and thus not land, it’s 8K. And more realistically I’d get 0.86 or 0.75 activity. And if I die before 15 mins I’d get alive/15. With half SL, you’d need to stay alive like 30 mins to afford 1 respawn - the same situation a lot of korean jets already suffer.
Horton: 17.4k to spawn, makes 1430/min so 0.92x15x1430 = 19.7K. You make 2.3K in your first 15 minutes max. If 50% SL reduction, the Horton now earns -7K SL for perfect play in the first 15 minutes of sim gameplay. For 2 cycles of perfect gameplay (kill 2.5 planes for 1050 score, survive 15 mins, land afterwards. Twice), it earns 2000 SL. Another 2 perfect cylces of gameplay (WHOLE hour of 2.5 kills/15 mins and never dying)… the horton can afford 1 respawn.
Maybe ARB would be still viable. I can right now brain off head-on a mig-21 in my F8U-2 and die immediately and make 3K SL/game/5 minutes. Actually doing well can go up to 46K. But it’d kill air sim for all but premium players, and even they won’t be able to progress just not go bankrupt

I highly doubt that one would stick, considering people would review bomb them again.
Dude same i want longer form matches soooo bad in WT, it kinda hurts
Currently Rafale is one very potent 14.0 aircraft.
If anything F-15C and Su-27SM need to be brought up to 14.0.
Yes they should, all but Sweden have an equivalent aircraft.
Gripen E is equal if not better due it its advanced electronic defence it can house, and the C can hold its own right now, i would argue its stronger then the F16C but that might be my play-style and love for canard aircraft!
As is F-18C from Finland.
We’ll see how effective AESA is from now until March, and likely March to June as well.
It’s not. Only 6 missiles and a downgrade over the M2K flight model at higher br.
nah, I don’t slurp down compression, downtiers as a general rule shouldnt happen

It’s the same exact amount of MICA EMs with a direct upgrade to flight model, radar, and RWR.

You joking or serious lmfao?
Nope, there was a bug when entering on pilot view you could fly underground, they fixed it on this patch.
How I feel you have no games in SU27 or SU27SM…
You know, that soviet air is worst on top tier atm on air games…
They should not,… current Rafale F.3R or EF-2000 are too advanced and held back on capabilities.
Neither Typhoon nor Rafale are held back.
9 of the 10 tech trees have equivalent aircraft.
Su-27SM, F-15C/E, Typhoon, and Rafale are not too advanced.
If they dare to even think about it, we will make the early 2023 “revolts” look like a child’s play by comparison.
That being said, even the backlash there was over the mere possibility made staff members need to come out to deny it to be a thing, so it appears even that was enough to keep thethreat in check.

Good riddance, I would’ve just outright dogged on war thunder on every platform imaginable and started a boycott movement. See hi ether like their economy reduced :P

That’s what happened, hahah.
As soon as the leak was released and we saw that change listed, we set the Forums on fire; barely 2 hours later, CMs were already on full damage-control mode and reassured us that such economy nerf was NOT planned or going to happen.
I don’t know if such change was planned but cancelled after seeing our reaction, or if the leak was unreliable/false and it was never really planned; in either case, I am happy to think there’s no danger for now.

Maybe it was to test where we were putting the line down

Interestingly though, the same leak stated that Gaijin planned to split the tech trees in WW2 and Modern vehicles, which has actually been a quite popular request for some time. Such plan was reportedly cancelled after the whole and brief backlash event.
Perhaps Gaijin planned to split the trees, and they thought that a SL earning reduction was warranted since people wouldn’t need to purchase as many vehicles as we do now; but, upon seeing the backlash over the SL nerf, they decided to scrap the whole concept.
