Honestly I was never really a hornet fan (the intruder and tomcat rule!)

But I was intrigued by this DCS module until I found out there would be no A/G radar, TFR, or FLIR capabilities.

If I'm going to fly the slow and short legged hornet, I at least want the capability to navigate and bomb a target once or twice (unlike the A-6 which could bomb a target 16 times nope ).

A/G Radar and that stuff is in development.

Yes we all know that, but what we don't know is how long that will take. 2 yrs, 5 yrs?

Just think of it this way -- ED has had all of that time and this is all that they release with the Hornet. They are making the A-G radar from the ground up, whereas I would think they've re-used as much of the FC3 A-A radar as they can, yet the A-A radar is still incomplete. I would say 2 years minimum.
