At first glance I thought I was looking at Steel Beasts Pro. This could in effect be an alternative to SB Pro, IMHO.

I've always been a fan of the electronic battlefield as it was envisioned by Spectrum Holobyte. Now it looks like our dreams will be finally realized. Here's hoping someone decides to model a Tornado (in the spirit of that golden oldie).


Gotta say, I love the direction DCS is headed.

Just to manage expectations, please do not expect ground vehicle control to be at the level of SB Pro. In this first iteration, it would be more akin to the Battlefield series. However, where it dramatically differs from BF3 is operational scale, inclusion of online JTAC controllers (an outgrowth of some of our military projects), interaction with DCS air units, indirect fire systems, and the 2D Command Map. While 1st person control of many ground units is possible, it will not be possible yet to act as a FPS leg unit.

While the first release of CA will be a big step for us in the direction of the digital battlefield, it is just the first step and there are many areas we plan on fleshing out in coming years (control of AI air and naval units, FPS role, higher detail terrain, different types of artillery rounds, improved dust and smoke, etc.).

Thanks

Wags, if your could indulge me.

I know the vehicles will be "simplistic" in comparison to DCS craft. But will key elements of these vehicles have correct items like engagement times and cycles. With a Surface2air asset, will (though the systems simplistic) simulate a corect time to attack simulating detection times, IFF times, and weapon deployment times.


Also, i am really keen to know more about the asset tracking and will this involve the creating of supply lines limiting available ordinance at a base. E.g. At the moment, any craft can load up on max effective weapons. so if 15 warthogs spawn in with max mavericks and all crash on take off and spawn again with max mavericks, will they deplete a current store of availble weapons thus limiting others to different ordinance until resupply?

Just interested in how it will work.

It could be entertaining, but it is no SB Pro. It does not appear to have much in terms of FCS.

I can't wait to get in a mobile SAM duckhunter , go to the edge of the forest next to the battle and tag some A10's whenpigsfly and the KA50 will not have a hope attack .
At least the first time I fire, if they spot my position after that...the story might not have a good ending for me help

I'm not Wags, but I can probably answer some of that for you with the caveat that stuff isn't final yet, AFAIK.

The reaction time required for various SAM systems depends on detection capability (how many radar sweeps do I need to call something a track?), to operators having to track the target, to missile gyros spinning up, etc. Since the modeling of these SAMs is fairly simple (plus, they're small rapid-reaction SAMs, I believe the larger SAMs will not be playable), you will not have to deal with all this, so in that respect, engagement times should be shorter for a player. IFF isn't a real factor here.
This much you can probably glean from the screenshots anyway.

I think the intent is to accomplish as you describe, but for now, no comment - ED will properly explain the feature when it is completed.

is there a difference in speed if you drive on road compare to fields/grass ?

Is there something like in Wargame: European Escalation to tell the ground unit to drive by road instead of direct point to point ?

When routing ground forces, you can either set multiple waypoints to reach an end destination, or command units to follow roads.

According to the ED forums,you can set your speed,formation and route,you can see this when you look at the screenshot of the map view,but how this will be done I'm not so sure.

I was talking if units are rolling on dirt/grass/fields
are they rolling slower than on roads

I wonder what will come first
CA beta being released
OR
BS1 -> BS2 "upgrade" people being included in the DCS World beta ?
