Falcon BMS 4.38 - Maverick Missiles Back to Fun with a Better Controller

The use of the targeting pod for Maverick missiles' boresighting and aiming has always been problematic with my old trusty Thrustmaster Warthog throttle.

Leading with Tanks - The 3rd Panzer Division on the opening day of the Poland '39 Campaign

I’m playing Wargame Design Studio’s Poland ‘39 and it is a wargame in which some of the scenarios play on quite literally “tank country” (flat open terrain with the ocassional natural barrier in the form of a river or a wooded area). 

Small Unit Tactics - The Hidden Flank of the Wedge Formation

Every squad formation can be evaluated by the firepower it can deliver in all directions. If a particular direction is not covered by enough weapons, this is considered as a vulnerability and an opportunity for the ENY attacking from that direction/angle. The concept is masterly explained in "Squad-Level Infantry Rural Combat: Small Unit Tactics and Battlecraft for Infantry and Recon Units", by Special Tactics LLC.

DCS AH-64D Apache - Tactics Primer - Rule #2: Use the Maximum Standoff Range Available

 DCS AH-64D Apache - Tactics Primer

Some 13 years ago, I started posting a tactics primer series for the Black Shark flight sim. This series relied heavily in Richard Sheffield's Gunship Academy. This book was originally intended as a sort of "strategy guide" for the wildly successful Gunship by MicroProse.

I once started a redux/remix/repost of that series, with the help of DCS's AH-64D Apache. The subsequent patches/fixes (?!) of the DCS module made me drift away from the module because  it became very tricky to fly. The latest patch has included some major changes in the flight/stability systems that appear to be pointing in the right direction, so I think it is time to resume with the series.

You know the usual story: an observation post spots an enemy formation, then the commander decides when and how to engage. I have been a bit busy working out target handoffs by observations posts with Steel Beasts ProPE and Armored Brigade.
