Help Choosing a Module
I absolutely love my A-10C and the aspect of providing close air support, but I also like the speed, maneuverability, and A2A capabilities of the F-15C. I'm looking for a modern, in-depth multirole fast mover that I can use for CAS, something similar to an F-15E or a F-16. I've seen the F-5 Tiger but I'm concerned that it might have a limited payload and old systems. I've also looked at the Viggen and Mirage but I'm not sure how they perform in Air to Ground. And I also only want to fly NATO aircraft, I'm not really into Russian or Chinese planes. Any ideas?

Love the F-16 huh? Fast, agile, Multirole? Fly-by-wire?

M2000C. Closest thing to the F-16 we'll have in DCS for some time. I absolutely love mine.
Payload doesn't compare to the A-10 of course, and it can't carry any ATGM's. But a healthy assortment of bombs and rockets, as well as good guns won't leave you out to dry.

How do the M2000 guns perform with Air to Ground?

M2000, SU-27(33), MiG-29, F-15, F-16, F-18 have only HE ammo.
A-10 have AP, Harrier have AP, and maybe Su-25 have AP ammo.

I believe they're 2x 20mm cannons. And if i recall correctly, they're strong enough to take out all ground targets but MBT's.

you should wait just a few month and the F-18 will be coming out and its going to be crazy and have its own ship to land on and is ground attake and air

If you want a multirole fast mover, I'd say to go with the M-2000 for now, or wait for the F/A-18C and/or Harrier.
