Help Choosing a Module

[nathan3219]

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?

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.

I'm very tempted to purchase now

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.
