Also units don't take proper damage or in a realistic way. Like if you drop a bomb next to a shilka or a gepard and do 20% damage they will still keep firing at you, even if masked with the explosion. You DON'T need a direct hit to incapacitate a vehicle or prevent then from firing. Especially radar guided, they are supposed to be sensitive equipment, not bomb/direct rocket hit proof. Don't even get me started on the EXTERNALLY FIRED tank machine guns. DCS has a lot of realism problems with basic gameplay. I mean a weapons platform is only as strong as it's weakest link. Like a radar dish or a human being.

I've only been playing for a bit with the new version, but so far it seems fantastic. The Picture and Friendly Picture features are immensely helpful. Why they aren't at part of the core DCS game is beyond me. If anybody from ED is reading these comments, you guys really, REALLY need to reach out to Enigma, Yink et al and get them to collaborate with you, because the ECW version is VASTLY superior to what is in the core game. Its so much better that the AWACS/GCI in the SP experience feels unfinished and shabby compared to what the ECW devs have created. It is so much better that it makes it harder for me to pitch new prospective DCS players (and like many in the community, I'm actively trying to recruit new people into the hobby!) when I have to explain why a community-built server offers an experience that is so much better than the core game. Help us out, ED, and hire these guys!

I have a question about how the F-4 will be implemented. The F-4 was, of course, a very widely used plane, so I believe it shouldn’t be a credit hog to earn. On the other hand, it will definitely outmatch many other CW airframes in terms of missile capability. Will there be a credit cost for certain weapons, instead of the aircraft itself? Depending on which versions of the AIM-7 are implemented, I think that maybe the later model of the AIM-7 should be held behind a credit paywall. I don’t think it would be right for the F-4 to have full weapon capability if it were to be an easy to get aircraft. Only the older AIM-9 and AIM-7 versions should be free, then make the improved versions unlocked with credit. Also, will the Pave Spike be permitted? I know that ECW favors dumb weapons, but since the Pave Spike is not an easy pod to use, I don’t believe it will be overpowered. On the other hand, I bet Jester will be able to use it quite effectively. Would there be a way to permit the Pave Spike ONLY on multicrew F-4s? That way, only players could be able to operate the pod, which would make it more balanced in my opinion. I guess these questions could only be properly answered once we get the F-4, but I’d love to hear your ideas for the moment. Thanks.

Could you explain a bit more how the csar and attrition math works? I did a troop drop and on the way back recovered one csar. I got greedy and tried to recover another one close by, but crashed in the landing. If I recover one I'd lower attrition by 0.6x the value of the recovered pilot and if I crash I'd add 0.7 to the attrition, which doesn't seem worth it. Is that the calculation?

Should we expect an improved version of 2.0 to appear later down the line? I have a very short amount of time playing 2.2, but first impressions felt like a straight downgrade from what we had before. I will add more to this once I have more flight hours in the new system and might even change my opinion, but I'll be completely honest and say first impressions were not great. It's far better than any other DCS server I have played for sure, but it's still worse than before. Edit 1: Just in case it needed mentioning, my only complaint is regarding the whole frontline system. The changes to bombs and points are very welcome. The new EWR was nice, but take this with a grain of salt since I never engaged enemy aircraft with the new system.

The F-4 was a very widely used fighter, so I bet it will be easy to get. I like the idea of having to earn certain weapons though. The F-4 has a rudimentary targeting pod that I think would be a very good credit item. It’s not an OP pod in the slightest, and it will be extremely hard to use, but it has the potential to be effective, so I think it should be kept.

Its a hard balance I get it, but instead of limiting the plane, you should limit the weapons each player can take and if they come back with those weapons not used they get them again.
