    So I guess in conclusion what I'm saying is the Flanker needs some love, I don't know how that can be achieved but the red planes are defiantly in a bad place right now and could use some sort of assistance. Back in the day the Flankers at least had a Datalink advantage over the blue aircraft and could lure blue into bad situational awareness areas and confuse them and kill them, but since the new updates to DCS the blue side have seen a major improvement to their data link so red don't even have that advantage anymore. Now I'm not saying take a garbage missile and buff it just to create a balance in the Sim, the last thing I want to see is DCS balancing things like its battlefield but in the real world East and West are always fighting for an advantage over the other one and it seems like right now blue aircraft have moved 30 years into the future and red is still stuck in the 1980s. Anyway I welcome your thoughts on this topic guys let me know what you think. Thanks for watching and all your support with the channel, Much Love.

    If you remember the release of the JF-17 with its SD-10, the issue about the whole AMRAAM kinetics was only addressed the moment the AMRAAM was no longer "the top dog". I don't foresee a more modern red plane coming to DCS anytime soon, for two reasons, one of which you mentioned:
    1. Chinese and Russian limits of information release.
    2. Likely to sour a majority of the DCS community (F-series pilots)
    Its fun to think back to the days when DCS Su-27 and F-15 combat was interesting, one having AMRAAMS, and the other having datalink. Each one could leverage their advantage differently leading to an even playing field.

    I couldn't agree with you more. When I fly the "blue fighters" I pretty well dominate the sky against the red and its gotten boring so I recently started flying the J-11 and I love it. It does get frustrating when I'm going head to head against a F-15 and he is able to launch on me and I'm sitting there waiting for launch authority lol, the only way I have had some success is to do a lot of missile dodging and dragging them into my firing range. I doubt they will do anything about it, they seem slow to get things done(I'm still waiting for the F-16 maverick which they have saying is close to being done for months now) I think they are more interested in releasing new half completed modules then actually finishing the already released modules. Thanks for the great videos.

    10:42 ED is a Russian company, they're going to be much more restricted by Russian government desires than US government desires. Also, at least as far as US hardware goes, there's an awful lot of open source data on US weapons systems out there, and as long as ED is very very careful to document their sources so that they can prove that they're not using classified data to create their models, they don't need US government approval for anything. Things may be, and are very likely, much different for both modern Russian and Chinese hardware, and whether there are any protections around recreating the performance of that hardware.

    • @TheRibbonRed

      I don't think the Russian government restricts that much info. Attempts at 1:1 recreations? Maybe. But I think creative liberties are not only allowed, but maybe endorsed. I mean, we can see this a lot on games like War Thunder or Stalker where Russian/Soviet weapons are either better, cheaper, more readily available, or some combination of the three.

      DCS may be the closest thing we have to a 1:1 experience with military aircrafts out there, but it is by no means an actual 1:1.

    DCS Mig and Su aircraft are suitable for simulating the early 90s.
    Do an interview with one of the DCS managers to see what their plans are on the red side in future.
    The Su-35sz simulation, I think they wouldn’t get enough information about how work the plane avionics and systems . Maybe the Su-27SM with R-77 could have a chance to get meaningful information to simulate in DCS.
    The Mig-29s simulation is incomplete, no simultan four R-77, lock only two, no Lazur systems.
    The 80-90"s russian aircraft is use the different thactics than Nato.

    Always get a kick seeing you fight in and win with Flankers and Fulcrums. The underdog fighting the merciless giants, I admit to getting tired of seeing everyone flying NATO aircraft.
    It would be nice to see the MiG-29M or SMT and Su-27SM in the game. Not the highest end fighters like the Su-30SM or 35S but certainly respectable steps up from the late Cold War stuff. But thats up to the Russian and Chinese governments and what they say goes. Or a Third Party willing and able to begin working on them, something people forget about.
    BTW I really enjoy the external views of you flinging the Flanker and Fulcrum through the air. Really get a sense of their power, agility and handling characteristics and the cinematography is excellent.

The radio call announcing that a weapon has been fired is intended to help avoid friendly fire, cueing other pilots to avoid maneuvering into the path of harm.

    It's so sad to see this kind of fight probably will never happen for the J11 in DCS. The J11B is still largely in service in China, and it is still classified. J11B can take PL12(AKA SD-10) AND PL15 very long-range missile which is super powerful with its newest AESA radar. J11A's cockpit is also incomparable to the J11B's glass cockpit. I assume the Red side will continue to have a very hard time in the future because the F15E and Eurofighter Typhoon are coming to DCS, and they are probably will be on the Blue side. What is even worse is that there are really no other options for the Red side to have except for the Chinese and Russian aircraft.

    PL12(SD10) was developed by major Russian missile design buro NPO Vympel (R77 family developers) , to fit Flanker pylons that carried R77 . To be potentially used with all Flankers in times of joint war effort. J11A is original test firing platform for PL12. Interchangeability of the armament is inherent basis of a Soviet school of thought that ensured versatility among all Soviet/Russian Flankers and their younger Chinese twins. GK Chairman `,)

  • @WangGanChang
    @WangGanChang 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well, there is a photo with J-11A with PL-12 from the official Chinese DoD website. You can tell it's the J-11A rather than J-11B, since the IRST is offset to the center line in the normal flanker position rather than right at the center line like the B version.
    eng.mod.gov.cn/news/2018-07/16/content_4819381.htm
    So flying J-11A with SD-10 is sort of legit without a J-11B make over. Though in real life, there is probably some electronics refit to make it work. BTW, Su-30MKK are seen with PL-12 as well, so the refit appears to be quite common for Russian flankers in Chinese service.

    Awesome video dude, the camera work is amazing.
    Agree with your points, but I think it's important to be careful to not sound like "we've got to 'balance' the game so that both sides are even". No, this should be as close to a simulation as possible and should be as realistic as possible, but of course like you mentioned, there may be some roadblocks such as licences and permissions that are preventing us from getting newer red missiles.
    At the end of the day I feel like it's a never ending one-upping war when it comes to these new features and weaponry in DCS (obviously, this is the case in real life), but it's just funny to see that you throw in your 2c about the R-77 then someone comes along and tosses their 2c about upgrades for a, b, c, d, x, y, z and justifying why it should be in DCS etc etc, never ending haha

    • @GlowingSpamraam
      @GlowingSpamraam 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      -he mostly meant to balance in terms of what aircraft are added
      for example russia lacks its upgraded su27s and migs along with r77-1 and r77s and upgraded r-27s for most aircraft while nato gets its aim120 spam and vastly upgraded planes
      all in all nato is in the 1990s to 2000s while russia is 1980 to 1990s and are significantly behind in terms of bvr since they lack the r77 and r77-1 which is basically an aim120 equivelant

    right now its up to the servers to implement the balance. if you want what you say you want, remove the 120C, limit the amount of amraams you can take into the air, disable nato datalinks or some other factors the curb the power of viper/hornet. Theres really no other options right now unless ED is going to get proper CFD and guidance updates out the door for red missiles

    I have the hornet and the viper, as well as the flaming cliff planes. I don't really like the eagle, I love my viper, don't really care for the hornet, but i love the flanker and J-11. I really like the flight model. It's a challenge of its own compared to the high fidelity planes. But I'm not impressed with its long range capability. I find myself defensive before I can engage because the missiles just don't have the speed or range. Still end up in dog fight range for best use.

  • @imnobodyanon9430
    @imnobodyanon9430 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's the saddening part about recent management of simulator games, release an update to some parts, neglecting the other side, making it terribly unplayable for the neglected side, so it seems as if it's a constant buff nerf fiesta, while really, it's just an incremental update. ED would do very well if only they withheld the new missile updates until they can come up with a similar counterpart from the other side. I'd rather have periodic updates that changes the *whole* game rather than have the game updated constantly but it's a partial update that neglects some other aspect of the game which is now incompatible with the more recent updates. Imagine I update my house with a brand new floor, but I have not yet put any additional weight bearing pillars to hold the new floor up, isn't that just asking for the house to collapse?
    props to the servers that withheld the newer updates and keep the game in the older flavor to keep the gameplay coherent

  • @entropyembrace
    @entropyembrace 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Even the Russian missiles we have in DCS now are grossly under-performing compared with all of the IRL information we have on missiles like the R--27ER and the base model of R-77. We know from your interview with Nick Grey that they are planning to do a major kinematic performance update on these missiles to make them more realistic and I fully expect that like the AIM-120 update this will result in a major improvement in performance for these missiles in DCS.
    Even when that happens it would still be nice to see technology updates for Russian and Chinese aircraft come to DCS. I'd really like to see full fidelity modules for more modern Russian and Chinese jets added too.

    It all does sounds good to add more modern Russian missiles variants so we don’t have to use soviet era versions, but there will be only one who will not gain on any of those additions, red carrier bois, we will be stuck with the R-27ER and ET while other flankers will be using at least EA models, the only alternative is to jump chassis to J-15 or mig-29MT
