Operation Wags Prize Drawings with NineLine! | DCS | DIgital Combat Simulator
Operation Wags brought together the DCS community for one of the biggest, most chaotic, and most meaningful events we’ve ever had the privilege of being part of.Over two absolutely unhinged weekends, creators, pilots, mission builders, GCI teams, developers, and communities from across DCS threw down on Blue and Red for nonstop combat, questionable decision-making, unexpected heroics, and a whole lot of laughs, all in support of Wags.Weekend One was basically a Fox 3-fueled meat grinder. Weekend Two? We took the Fox 3s away and politely encouraged everyone to settle their differences at much closer range. Predictably, violence ensued.In this episode, we break down the ridiculous scale of Operation Wags, some of our favorite moments from the air and ground, the stats, giveaways, behind-the-scenes insanity, and the incredible people and organizations who helped make the whole thing possible.More importantly, Operation Wags proved what can happen when this community decides to rally around one of its own.There were fights. There were laughs. There were friendships made. There were questionable tactical decisions. There may have even been an OPSEC violation or two.But somehow, against all odds and probably several sections of the Geneva Suggestions, we pulled it off.Operation Wags may be over, but what this community accomplished won't be forgotten anytime soon.#OperationWags #DCSWorld #DigitalCombatSimulator #HighAlphaHooligans #DCSCommunity #FlightSim #MilitaryAviation #CombatFlightSim #EagleDynamics #VirtualAviation #FlightSimulation #DCS
