Civil war is raging in Syria. A number of factions fight for survival across the country while around them their neighbours watch the unfolding chaos nervously. Emboldened by the support of the Russian Federation the Syrian armed forces strive to crush the breakaway Democratic Forces in the north, whilst in the northeast a violent insurgency is adding fuel to a raging fire. Committed to protecting the Syrian rebels, NATO forces, under the 'Joint Syrian Task Force', launch Operation Cerberus North to establish a series of no fly zones across Syria. As the chain of events in this deadly conflict develops, the regional powers are put on a collision course towards all out war.
Following on from the events of the A-10C campaign 'Operation Persian Freedom', Operation Cerberus North will pit RAF exchange pilot David 'Steep' Hill and his new VMFA-232 squadron mates into a deep and immersive story driven campaign set in Syria and the surrounding area. Based on months of research Operation Cerberus North offers an incredibly detailed and immersive scenario for Hornet pilots to pit themselves against.
This highly immersive campaign is set across 16 missions - spread over 21 parts, and will push your abilities to effectively operate the Hornet in a range of mission types.
1968. After a Chinese-backed communist coup, the Philippines started a hostile expansion, and its guerilla troops, the so-called “FC” are now controlling the southern half of Guam. WO Jack Wilson is being sent into this strange conflict to serve his one year tour as a member of the 4th Aviation Battalion at Andersen AFB. Fly resupplies, combat assaults, dustoffs, extractions, artillery spotting, psy war, sniffers, escorts and many other challenging missions. Put your skills to the test, and learn what it was like to fly slicks and gunships 3 feet over the jungle in the late 1960s.
Iron Flag is a training campaign for the A-10C II Tank Killer module. The goal of Iron Flag is to expand on the training missions that come with it and teach you new things not found there. Also, go more in-depth on some of the things that are included with the module and explain some of the tactics and rationale behind employing the A-10 C, its systems, and weapons so that you and your Hog emerge more lethal!
Baltic Dragon and Nicholas Barnwell, authors of the campaign, tried to make Iron Flag as realistic as possible, given the limitations within DCS and their knowledge. They have leaned on real civilian and USAF pilots, including a few A-10 drivers, other subject matter experts, and many within the DCS community to help them bring you the definitive A-10 training experience.
Battle of Krasnodar is a story-based campaign that will test your air-to-air and air-to-ground skills in a variety of missions while you confront US forces in the emerging conflict.
Your Mig-21bis squadron is tasked to defend the region of Krasnodar from an invasion of UN troops that support the UN resolution for the Independence of Soviet Union provinces. The UN response is moderate; however, the Soviet forces in the region are facing supply problems due to the rapid destabilization of the Soviet Union. The resources are limited, and often the VVS forces suffer lack of support. As a frontline fighter squadron, you will have to move between airbases as the conflict evolves.
The Constant Peg Campaign is based on operations carried out by the USAF's 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron, the 'Red Eagles'. These 10 missions are set in 1988 and replicate the unit's typical operations from Tonopah Test Range Airfield, Nevada. You will take flight in a MiG-21 to expose pilots from operational units to Soviet aircraft, and to replicate adversary tactics during realistic combat training scenarios. Face off against the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle in one versus one and two versus two air combat. Lead your flight against a larger force during realistic Fighter Weapons School 'Mission Employment' training and a 'Red Flag' exercise mission.
This campaign was designed in partnership with Steve Davies, author of Red Eagles: America's Secret Migs, host of the 10 Percent True: Tales from the Cockpit podcast, and the authority on Constant Peg operations. He brought with him access to the real Red Eagles pilots, whose technical guidance was used to ensure this is the most realistic experience possible.
As another sunrise breaks over the shimmering Iranian desert horizon, things in the Gulf are about to change in a big way. It appears that the I.R.G.C is no longer subservient to the Clerics as before. Fuelled by the recent severe international sanctions its new aggressive leader by the name of 'Asad' has sworn to take full control of the Straits of Hormuz. In response, an international force has been deployed to the area with the USS Abraham Lincoln at its heart.
As Lieutenant Scott Waters, call sign 'Ford', deployment on USS John C Stennis in the Black Sea draws to a close, both he and his wingman, are soon to become part of this new force in the Gulf. Things are balanced on a pin head, tensions in the Gulf are about to be raised to breaking point and beyond.
This Campaign follows on from Ford's exploits at the Black Sea on board the USS John C Stennis in the 'Serpent's Head 2 Campaign'.
The Campaign ethos, as before, is not to capture reality but create an imaginative, immersive, and engaging set of missions linked together with a developing plot narrative.
April 1989. The USS Valley Forge cruiser had an accident on the Black Sea just off the coast of the Soviet Union, and the USS Theodore Roosevelt is being sent there to support the rescue operation with VF-84 on board. Jaws, Jester, Ghost, Pyro, Caveman, Grip, Elvis and Glory, all hot shot F-14A Tomcat fighter jocks of the 'Jolly Rogers' are itching to see some action, but they might get more than they bargained for. Join them in fighting MIGs, intercepting Bears, defending the fleet, escorting Alpha strikes and much more in this relaxed, story-driven campaign that is an entertaining mix of realism and 1980s style fiction. Kick the tires, light the fires and make them 'Fear the Bones!'
'Zemke's Wolfpack', the 56th Fighter Group was one of the most famous fighting units of the USAAF in World War II. Flying the P-47 Thunderbolt throughout their time stationed in England, the Group had more ace pilots and destroyed more enemy aircraft in air combat than any other. A large archive of detailed combat reports written by the pilots is available online, and Reflected Simulations endeavoured to recreate these events in DCS World exactly the way they happened. Strap in to your ’Jug’ and relive some of the most epic air battles of the ETO in the Spring of 1944.
In August 2020, terrorist gangs, taking advantage of the turbulent internal political situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran, invaded its territory and occupied part of the country. The Iranian government has requested military assistance from the Russian Federation. You will take part in an anti-terrorist operation as part of a limited contingent of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, as a pilot of a Ka-50 attack helicopter.
Join Operation Persian Freedom for the A-10C Warthog and the A-10C II Tank Killer and take on the role of RAF exchange pilot Flight Lieutenant David ‘Steep’ Hill as he joins the US 74th Fighter Squadron on the eve of the invasion of Iran.
This story driven campaign is set in the Persian Gulf during the Arab Spring of 2011 and explores a scenario where civil unrest in Iran has resulted in the violent repression of it’s citizens.
