New DDCS Update



New DDCS Update 4/24/2019



We are pleased with how much fun the community has been having on the server from the last major mission update. We made helicopters great again! Over the past month we addressed balance, performance, and polishing the mission. Below is the mission change log



• JTAC unit: limited to 1 per person

• Forward Observer slots added (no perms required)

• Ship spawns for the AV8B and Su33 are still bugged (ed bug)

• Increased f18 and f14 slots to 6 on the carriers

• Increased f18 slots across the board

• Unique callsigns added to aircraft relying on BRA calls

• U.S. Frigate added to protect the fleets.

• Naming convention change for Farps: Main Operating Base (MOB) and Forward Operating Base (FOB)

• The number of pads has been decreased on the map to improve player/server performance (over 50 players including units moving and no rubber banding!)

• Weapon restrictions have been lifted except for nukes. Remember there is a cost to what you carry.



Why we lifted the weapon restrictions. We believe the restriction of only 2 aim120s limited options for the f18s/f15s and hampered their ability to hold ground once dominating the airspace. We will continue to watch closely, and balance accordingly based on player feedback. Balance is a hot topic so if you are going to comment about it keep it constructive and respectful. A flame filled rant about balance will get no attention from us.



The Future of DDCS



The main features of DDCS Modern are now complete and it’s time to look into the future and see what else we can do to grow and bring the community even more fun. We will be putting focus back into our Bush war server and have you guys/ladies get your monies worth out of your cold war era aircraft.
