DCS: Mig-15bis - My First Kill
With Eagle Dynamics holding a store wide sale right now, the time is auspicious to dust off one story I had in the file cabinet.
A true combat aviation classic has found a virtual home in DCS World. Made by third party company Belsimtek, the digital bird has very few buttons not implemented. With great flight, avionics and weapons models, the hard earned kills you get flying the Mig are to be savored over and over. Thanks for the track recording feature, Eagle Dynamics!

Combat Mission Black Sea - The Unfair Death of PFC Roller and The Predictable Demise of Most of His Squad
SPOILER ALERT: these two micro-stories are from a canned CMBS scenario. I will not mention the name of the scenario and avoid birds-eye views of the battlefield, but I recognize that you may realize which scenario is this from.
Arma 3 Now Has Built In AI Suppression
There were and there are third party mods for AI suppression. From the videos that I've seen, one could argue that those work better than the new Arma 3 built in suppression features. But I am happy to see all these goodies slowly creeping into plain vanilla Arma 3.
In this very simple custom, single player setup I am about to make contact with an enemy rifleman. |

Thinking of Becoming a Paratrooper? - Combat Mission Market Garden AAR
... You better be a gifted tactician because firepower may not be an asset you can count for most of the battles.
Excellent stock scenario from Combat Mission Market Garden module. This scenario is about the fight of B Company around the Heumen Bridge. By the way, I wrote a Command Ops blog entry about this Regiment a few weeks back.
Men from the 1st Platoon, B Company, 504 Parachute Infantry Regiment move towards the Heumen Bridge. |
IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad - I Came Here Just for the Maps
There is so much bad feelings around Battle of Stalingrad among long time flight simmers that is almost contagious. Due to my age, I limit my bitching to ten minutes a day (barely enough to deal with co-workers) and I try to enjoy the games as they are and not trying to vent about what they are not.
To my surprise, a flight simulator that at the beginning I didn't care too much about is becoming a staple in my virtual flying record.
Yeah, it looks fantastic. I get it. |

Comms Restored
Yet again, and of all things, the blog has been the target of repeated hacking attempts.So I contacted Google and they suggested me to close the comment section until they figure out what was all about.
I think it's sorted out now.
I know I am not the most talkative and responsive blogger out there but I appreciate your input.

Command Ops 2 - Economy of Force
According to the principle of force, a minimal of the total combat power should be applied to secondary efforts. To the "All American" (82nd Airborne Division) of the 1st Battalion/504 Regiment, it was hard to see themselves as part of a secondary effort. And ever harder to see their combat mighty as minimal.
