DCS Super Carrier, or how Will learned to love skittles of all the wrong colours

2021… Winter.

No, I heard from a reliable source the pilots don’t use AG radar! So there’s no reason to implement it; instead, going to surface modes will have a message “are you such a wuss that you need AG radar when real pilots don’t?!”

You know?? All kidding aside,I really have been wondering,In this Modern day,Drone Flying,Laser Guided,FLIR World…How much A/G Radar is in fact part of the modern mission?

It’s gotta be, what with all the advances in equipment like the APG-81. Kinda silly to put money in that stuff if you’re not using it. Also, stuff like the LITENING pod adding SAR mapping capability.

Think about clouds. For the past decades most wars have been fought in rather dry places, so the FLIR faction had high tide. Also DCS is basically a good weather sim… But a theater with months of bad weather might change priorities rather quickly.

Which will hopefully change whenever the new cloud system gets implemented and properly synced in multiplayer.

Problem is that in today’s PC military, this will become an “alcohol related incident” and guys who work hard will be severely punished for playing hard as well.

The real problem is the camera. Otherwise you could have everybody involved claim to have walked into the same door on the way out of the club.

Im sure every generation has complained about this, but man it seems to really be accelerating the grumpy old man process in me (I’m only 36). How do you expect a bunch of warriors to act? I get there is a line to be drawn, and in my day, it was usually when you went to actual local PD jail or someone was hospitalized. I mean there was all kinds of jackassery going on when in garrison, and nobody really ever got in trouble except for the two aforementioned cases. I’m talking literal dumpster fire barracks parties the night before deployment, and no one even got a page 11. Hell, most of the time when someone got picked up by the police out in town, they dropped them off at the gate and the OOD went to pick them up. The one exception, is DUI. They hammered your ass for that.

It was a Master Chief who’s Boat Boo started the fight with his wife.

So they were probably a bit busy…

Anyone else notice the Arleigh Burke class destroyer in the background? That’s the first screen of that we’ve seen that I know of. Nice to be getting new surface ships.
