DCS WWII Updates | Latest Open Beta Release

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

Thank you for this! WWII DCS is my primary mode of playing DCS, so attention here is always especially welcome.

[@dna8695]

fantastic. DCS WWII doesn't get enough love

[@davidwaVR]

Sounds like they need to open up a contest for people with the knowledge and skills in the community can help add minor assets and graduate up.

[@bowsewr7074]

Man makes me really miss Storms of War. It was the shining light of DCS WWII multiplayer. Haven't flown WW2 since the server was taken down

[@romagnolo]

I love your videos! Not only you bring new exciting stuff to show us, but how you edit the videos, and also your voice (call me crazy, IDK) is very nice to listen to.

[@DBSTH0R]

3:49 B-17G top gunner doesn't rotate with the top turret... :D

[@eaglefirefly]

Oh man I never knew this channel existed! This is gonna be super helpful thank you!

[@wilbuzllf5057]

Superb, thank you for these posts and updates!

[@speed-of-heat]

for the mission editor waypoint autofill wouldn't a check box be a more standard UI rather than a change in text on a button ? but great feature either way

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Agree :) I bet this button would raise some questions. Would prefer if it was closer to the waypoint options box as well so it would stand out more if it's pressed or not.

[@christianloose9875]

+1. My first thought as well. Strange UX design choice.

[@krippz7980]

Great video!

[@bitboydcs9825]

Good update, thanks for the summary!

[@wraith444]

On the subject of UI improvements, would it be possible to add an option that when turned on would prompt the player to select which logbook entry they want to use when starting a flight? I've recently been trying to do a permadeath Liberation campaign using a separate logbook entry and I keep forgetting to swap to my immortal logbook entry for when I fly less high-stakes flights.

[@hmleao]

very cool

[@juansuarez4151]

Yeeeeesss thanks for mentioning the fuse… I was going to ask about that. Let’s keep bringing life to ww2 dcs please, some stuka or 110 now that there is 2 propeller engine module. Maybe a zero also at least AI to pair it with the Corsair. Thanks for the good work.

[@bronco5334]

Me410 and/ or A-26 Invader. Almost all the WW2 modules are extremely late-war, so we might as well go with very-late-war twin-engine attack to keep with the existing set. Also, both the Me410 and A-26 have interesting remotely-controlled turrets, which are about the most advanced systems mounted on WW2 aircraft (and DCS excels in accurate modeling of advanced systems). Me410 can be heavy fighter, bomber destroyer, ground attack, medium bomber, and torpedo bomber.

[@johnvanantwerp2791]

[Trystan] Well done! Nice AI improvements

[@pogo1140]

Anyone working on an A6M# as a counterpart of the P-51, F4U?

[@callsignnictmere465]

How does one get in a ground vehicle? I suppose it is set up in the editor as a player. With that can we crew ww2 armor or just specific vehicles? Thanks for the updates I look forward to trying them out! Thumbs up 👍

[@British-Dragon-Simulations]

Good job Sir!

[@PILOTZ-li7sw]

👍👑

[@herrlogan17]

I really wished for more, because WWII is so much fun. I wonder, if someday we will have more cinematic campaigns for WWII.....maybe :/

[@gunschel]

Thanks for the update. Well done as usual. :) I personally wish ED would focus more on finalizing the existing planes such as A8/F8 with EN which has been requested 1000 times instead of working on Combined Arms that literally noone is using.

[@kinggooseman5373]

I use it, I enjoy using it with friends

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

I 100% agree that a 190 F-8 needs to be top priority along with stuff like C3 for the 190 A8, but some of new new ground assets have been helpful to me. I was really glad to see AT guns and field howitzers added for both sides, which I've had a lot of fun using as targets/things to defend.

[@gunschel]

@@hanswolfgangmercer Since the F8 was promised during early access I feel it's overdue. But sure some nice new assets are never bad. Some placeable lights for night ops would be especially beneficial and easy to do. Along with some beacons which would benefit the Mossie and the German warbirds with the now functional AFN-2. All those things can be done in a few hours. But we get new gun sights for tanks nobody I know uses. Imo that decision making is hard to understand.

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

@@gunschel Oh I don't disagree

[@MrECheez]

Most of my World War II assets are missing. Even after a clean reinstall. I haven’t been able to open a ticket yet. Does anybody have any ideas? A few things show up like the zeppelin and a few statics but that’s it.

[@lankypilot778]

Thanks for update. Would there be any chance we'd see an undo button in the current editor or would that require a whole new system?

[@WinchesterDelta1]

Nice :)

[@dishdoggiegaming7254]

I will test this out. My hope is the WINGMAN I make will now Fire at the AI aircraft head on in a dogfight start. They do not Now and the AI enemy Aircraft don't neither.

[@waltergreif4836]

10Q!

[@rustyshackleford2841]

Anemic attempt at keeping the WW2 improvements going. If WW2 fails is not due to lack of players interest. All I can do is believe. I still believe.

[@BunialskiTrip]

Not much to be honest

[@garymyers6638]

The word is oriented, not orientated.

[@spanuehspanueh7216]

Either word is usable and grammatically correct, and one is common in usage in British English, military, and the technical fields. Style guides are not the be all, end all of the English language.
