Coming soon to the DCS: F16 Viper is the MK-84 AIR. This 2,000 lbs general purpose bomb is fitted with a BSU/50U tail assembly ballute that provides high speed, low altitude delivery. The high drag of the bomb allows the aircraft to avoid the blast pattern. This can be an excellent choice to destroy runways, enemy unit concentrations, and high-value targets that require a low-altitude attack. You may select to deliver the bomb in either low-drag or high-drag mode based on mission requirements. The inert, training version will also be available.

We are currently working on a variety of weather system enhancements. In the above screenshot you may see the progress on the ice halo effect. Also in progress is the addition of cirrus clouds and moving clouds that are affected by wind direction and speed. The next task will be a preset selection window that will allow for rapid weather tuning using the Mission Editor.

Originally deployed aboard ships in the Second World War, the towed version was named the KS-19 heavy calibre anti-aircraft cannon, which also had some surprisingly good utility in the ground attack role against heavily armoured targets. Look out for the Soviet 100mm cannon coming in the next Open Beta.
Compared to the 23 and 57mm anti-aircraft artillery guns, the KS-19 allows engagement of targets at even higher altitudes. When combined, the three types of AAA provide a layered air defence umbrella.
Thank you again for your passion and support,
Yours sincerely,
