Can't wait to install DCS-BS and jack some people up, and get jacked up!

It might be fun if there were unlocked servers with more than 1 person on them. I spent 40 minutes the other night as a JTAC on a pub server, and never once had anyone attack my targets. Either nobody was flying, or they were off doing their own thing somewhere else. Most of the time there aren't more than 2 people on an unlocked server when I try and play.

You can't play the JTAC properly in singleplayer, which really annoys me.

This is the first DCS product where I've actually felt like I haven't gotten my money's worth, and would consider getting a refund if there was an option. Yes yes, beta, early days etc...

I recommend hopping onto the SimHQ TeamSpeak 3 server every time you play. If there are other folks playing, and they all hop on TS3, you'll find plenty of friends to join up. I did just that last night and started with a single player "experimental" game, but folks started joining up and it was a great time. I ended up being JTAC for the other human A-10s and we coordinated a pretty good attack and had a good time, all around.

I think this modual will shine on an organised team server and would be immensely fun, which if we could get some organised SimHQ get togethers it would be great fun, it's similar to playing on a public server on arma 2, but play with a full squad and it's a different experience all together
