DCS SITREP #19 2024: PolyChop's Kiowa Lands, Huge Updates for the Phantom II, RAZBAM Rhetoric

The Kiowa is absolutely amazing. Polychop knocked it out of the park with this one. A big Thank You!

RAZBAM situation has killed all my enthusiasm for DCS. I appreciate the more measured takes such as yours and Enigma's on the situation.

I'm glad you pointed out Spud's content, it's a shame how broadly speculative it is, nevermind the clickbait and "oh i don't wanna make this video but I had to" type of shit

Kiowa is becoming my best module. The openness of the cockpit is highly imerssive. You can hear the launches, the explosions, everything.

awesome comments on the RAZBAM situation to be honest, going by what's known, pointing out that there are alot of unknowns and there are lots of speculation, really nice.

I think with Enigma, his point was we don't know the status of these modules because we're waiting on developments, and they're already amassing issues. Meanwhile, they continue to be sold while their fate is uncertain and are aging. When consulting the anonymous devs, I also agree with what was said. This looks awful on us, and it's really bad for flight sim as a whole, especially since there was hardware products pushed to market for these modules. Overall, I think he had some legitimate criticisms. With Spud tho, I have the exact opposite opinion. People are waiting for a definitive statement on the situation, and that title was made to exploit that. Fine, he's just going to assume the worst and things won't work out. That's okay, that's his decision, and we all have lives to live. But the title doesn't give that context, it states it as fact when people are looking for information. Meanwhile, the video itself offered literally nothing to the conversation, at all. It was just a complete waste of time.

Salute and respect for all who give their lives for us to live free and ''peaceful''

My Harrier is still working as it should. All I can do is wait………

Thank you for your true words at the end about the razbam / ED topic. We should all be patient and wait for them to resolve it and not start speculating and creating more rumors about the whole topic.

good words on the RAZBAM "situation" . Got the feeling for the last 2 days some youtubers are just looking for the most distopian announcement/ thumbnail to get clicks.

The Kiowa is everything i wanted it to be, along with flying the F4 on Cold war servers, i honestly havent had this much fun with DCS in a long time! side note, happy you called out... ''PotatoTit'' for his stupid clickbait video

Well said Prickly! Have always enjoyed your content and as an aside, it’s cool to hear an Southern Hemisphere/ANZAC perspective. Keep up the great work!!

If you go on the DCS forums and find the F15 Razbam discussion you will see a statement recently by Nineline that if you are concerned about your F15 not getting completed, they will credit your purchase in full for another module. They would rather you wait for a resolution but they WILL credit you if you are concerned. He also said if the situation ends up NOT being resolved down the line, they will still offer credits so no need to panic now. It appears customers can relax about their investment at least. As for the Kiowa, it’s now my favourite helicopter. Great job Polychop.

The razbam modules development its officially stop like 2 months ago but still on sale on DCS home page. ED should suspend the sales too, that looks more commercially responsible.

Prickly...good to see you use the swear words for the right occasion. Well said!

We should remain calm but strong and just demand, as you said, settle your case so we can move forward as a community. Both sides have considered the community, i.e. us, important until now. Well, now we'll see what it really means.

100% with you on that situation. It is extremely strange to say something about the future of Razbam studios having zero information on the subject.

I'll also mention that the recent Mirage issues came from changes that were accidentally pushed, and they've been reverted since then. It didn't come from it "degrading" which is the popular narrative now. It takes a while for mostly complete modules to get much in the way of issues. If things truly go south I'd imagine they'll offer refunds for the other RB modules that are somewhat recently purchased like they're doing for the Mudhen already.

Thank you Prickly.

Helicopters are notoriously difficult to learn, whatever you do on any one control requires some input on all the other axis, if that’s the trouble that people are having, then there is nothing wrong with the flight model.
