There are no political factors built into the game at all so it is up to the user to assign purpose to the missions they fly. The political side, if it is mentioned at all, is usually a generic afterthought and is also not really considered within DCS at all. Carl von Clauswitz said that "war is a continuation of politics by other means" and the only attempts at the inclusion of this aspect are usually generic blurbs in the mission briefings. As far as the scope of DCS is concerned the tactical weapons being proposed for inclusion fit well with the size of the maps and add to the variety of mission sets, both offensive and defensive, within DCS. My position remains that if it was in service, actively trained to by its crews and has enough information to be modeled it should be included. There are instances of weapons never used in combat that are in DCS already which effectively nullifies that argument. ![]() Historical Fidelity- The fact that a weapon was never used in anger should not preclude its inclusion.
