I got plans for that gizmo, think Kosovo Air War (with the Caucasus map standing in for that region)

Soooooo fun fact I voiced âThe Kidâ in Debden Eagles. Found out from Reflected that they provided withdrawal support on one of my Great Uncleâs bombing missions to Germany in â44.

There was some verbiage in todaysâ newsletter about the ground unit AI being tweaked. So I had a go strafing some BMPâs in an A-10. Used to be a death sentence. No more! There were gobs of tracer coming up, but all missed to make the experience exhilerating yet non-frustrating! Yay!
You guys test it out some too, see how they do vs choppersâŠ

Excellent!
I donât do the âHogâ, but would like to (my 4th clone, twice removed, does, but he doesnât talk to me).
In the Harrier and faster Iâve not had a too difficult time with guns (low down) BUT the MANPADS never seem to miss, no matter how hard/fast I mash the flare button. AI set on average. I get nervous below 15,000 AGL 
if I think they may be around (never really know).

Fly an offset along the AO that brings you into MANPADS range, they are fairly easy to dodge when youâre not too close. You can then deal with them before going in for guns.
Beware of Tunguskas though I have noticed that they like to keep their radar in search mode or even off and ambush you using saclos instead of radar and their smokeless rocket motors are incredibly hard to spot. If you miss the missile launch youâre most likely never going to notice them before impact.
Just ran that one. What a blast! It should be one of the instant action scenarios for the huey!
Sadly my DCS crashed when I was in the mopping up phase. I got killed once by a ZSU-23 emplacement, but that was when I was almost hovering in front of it, so fair play. When I was zipping about letting the door gunners get some, they sprayed a lot but hit zip. Good!

An interesting comparison

Great comparison. Watching the real pilot to see what his queue is to bring up the tailhook, he appears to be checking right. I wonder if he gets a signal from a deck handler, or is looking in his mirror for state of the cable?
