What could a modern U.S. first strike on Cuba look like?

What could a modern U.S. first strike on Cuba look like?

In this fictional DCS World WarGames scenario, the opening phase of a large-scale air and naval campaign begins over western Cuba. Tomahawk cruise missiles launch from an Ohio-class SSGN, B-2 Spirit bombers strike the Cuban Navy, F-35As conduct SEAD/DEAD missions, B-1Bs crater key runways, while F-22 Raptors provide overwatch and EA-18G Growlers dominate the electronic battlespace.

A huge modern warfare simulation featuring stealth bombers, cruise missiles, air defence suppression, naval strikes and joint-force planning.

B-2 Spirits vs the entire Cuban Navy… probably fine. 😬 A fictional DCS World WarGames first-strike scenario with Tomahawks, stealth bombers, F-35s, F-22s and Growlers.

DRAG RACE: 1940’s-1960’s Fighters – How Much Did Aircraft Improve Over 20 Years? | DCS

Leave a comment

Experience an epic fighter aircraft drag race in DCS World featuring the newly released F-100D Super Sabre! We put some of the fastest military aircraft from the late WWII, Korean War, and early Cold War eras head-to-head in a low-level 5-mile speed challenge to see just how rapidly fighter technology evolved between the 1940s and 1950s.

Competing in this high-speed showdown are legendary aircraft including the F-100D Super Sabre, MiG-21, MiG-19, FW-190 D9 (Focke-Wulf 190 Dora), and Bf 109 K-4. From powerful piston-engine warbirds to early jet fighters and supersonic-era aircraft, this race highlights one of the most dramatic periods of aviation history.

In just 15 years, fighter aircraft top speeds nearly quadrupled. Which aircraft will dominate the drag strip and claim the title of fastest fighter in DCS World?
