they also got support for 4 python 3/4s with the tiger 3 upgrade, it would be an amazing second variant to see in DCS they've been stationed at punta arenas in recent times as well so it'd make for a nice fill on the south atlantic map

all i've seen on the capability to take 4 aim-9s is that it was tested but quickly dropped due to flutter issues with the sidewinder rails, though apparently the tiger 3 upgrade and the F-5EM fixed this problem by using different IAI pylons for python capability under the wings. Maybe that's a good choice for a 4 missile F-5, would be cool to see but would also be a bigger undertaking for ED personally i'd rather see an older F-5 first so we can finish filling out conflicts like vietnam or iran-iraq but honestly any extra F-5 version ED could make would be greatly appreciated for a package like this

you shouldn't have to pay extra for the module you already bought to work properly after so long. Either way it was already cleared up that the bug fixes and problem solving will also come for free to the people who only own the original F-5E module so it's a non-issue i still find the upgrade package sad, now it seems to just ammount to a 3d model and texture pass which, while nice, still doesn't bring any new product really worth paying for and is a treatment new and old modules from less capable 3rd parties have gotten for free. I would've been more than happy to pay 3 times the price if it had introduced a new version even with minimal changes like an earlier basic F-5E-2 to complement the F-5E-3 similarly to what has been the case already with the A-10C2 and BS3 upgrades, in comparison this one just brings an opportunity to pay for no new additions to the sim and has worked to fuel the recent rumours of financial struggle in ED, considering recent events of issues with payment to 3rd parties and with some of the recent ED releases feeling rushed and being far from the quality of earlier EA releases overall it makes me worried for DCS's future and it makes me sad for ED's current state If ED really is struggling for money i would much rather be able to donate directly than have to sit through disappointing practices and seemingly poor management like this

extremely sad update tbh. 10 extra dollars if you own it and a jacked up price if you dont for stuff that boils down to bug fixes and textures just makes ED look bad. maybe if a new F-5 was developed like with the A-10C2 or BS3 it'd be a good upgrade module and be worth more money but the newsletter makes it sound like it'll just be the same F-5E-3 as always and that's a shame

any chance it'll be removable from the mission editor like the one in the mig-19?

really hope the huey gets a good rework that brings it up to the level of quality of the mi-24 and other recent helicopters soon, it becomes more needed every year that passes and the comparison to other helicopters in the game is starting to feel frustrating. as for possible variants i'd love to see any of the early vietnam era hueys like the UH-1B to D or maybe an early naval UH-1N or AB-212/ASW, not very picky in that regard would honestly pay for anything that could be brought into the game to breathe new life into the huey.

+1 would love to be able to fly this thing if possible, i'm jealous of the AI right now lol

i'd be all over a 21F-13 or PF/PFM module if mag 3 could make one, bis overhaul is also very needed

no just 80mm rockets

T-38 would be neat but personally i'd rather see an F-5A or an earlier F-5E/E-2 before it

would love to see a bomber version of the mosquito in DCS some day

if possible an F1EDA would be a very welcome addition for me, we've already been given a lot by the devs but i'd still be very happy for any further F1 variants they could make in the future

completely agreed, i think paying for different variants where there are enough major differences involved like the mi-24P to D example is reasonable and helps the devs help us its generally very hard to recreate any real conflict scenarios in good faith in DCS and it would be really helpful to have more variants of our current airframes to alleviate the tensions currently felt even in some of the most popular scenarios people want like vietnam, the iran-iraq conflict or even ww2 and the normandy campaign. It would be an especially wise move now that competition like il-2 korea and other possible post ww2 installments to the il-2 series are popping up and threaten to steal a large chunk of the playerbase interested in these kinds of scenarios

looking through F-86 pictures and reading through some references i found some weapons missing that could really breathe new life to the DCS F-86 if added to the game and would make the plane much more attractive for when the fc2024 version of this module releases. references for these weapons being used on the F-86F-35 can be found on T.O. 1F-86F-1 and T.O. 1F-86D-33-1-1 both of which are publicly available and easy to find manuals MA-2A The MA-2A is a lightweight 2 shot 70mm FFAR launcher mounted on our current hvar rocket rails available on jets after the F-86F-25 MA-3 The MA-3 is an expendable 7 shot 70mm FFAR pod mounted on the plane's hvar rails and available on jets after the F-86F-25, it includes a forward and aft fairing that detach when the rockets are fired similarly to more modern rocket pods like the lau-3 the 70mm FFARs launched from both of these launchers could have HEAT, HE, WP or inert warheads AN-M65 1000 pound bomb available to the F-86 since it started being used as a fighterbomber, this bomb is already modelled ingame and is available for use on the P-47 i believe adding these weapons would help freshen up and complete the DCS F-86F-35 experience and would help keep it from falling behind relatively to other upcoming modules of it's era and timeframe, with the popularization of the cold war in DCS and the upcoming fc2024 sabre it's the perfect moment for the DCS F-86 to get some attention from the devs

lim-6 posting would be awesome in DCS

lmao

same here, would be perfect as a separate add-on variant if it cant be part of the main chinook module

+1, ch-47C would help mission makers out immensely and would fit in perfectly with a lot of our current maps and conflicts where only having the F available can get a little awkward like the falklands or the persian gulf while we wait for vietnam

hello make the B-17 on the newsletter screenshots a full module thank you

that's fine with me, i'd still rather see our current module improved before more versions are added

it would be very cool to have both the UH-1H and a UH-1N or other huey versions but at the moment i'd much rather see a UH-1H module overhaul before adding more variants into the mix

bomber

it would really be amazing to see more light antitank aircraft as unique as this ingame, hopefully it can be made in the near future as it has some strong potential to open up some very interesting new gameplay possibilities for the red side especially

Completely agree with the original post, it would be great to have more variants of the spitfire ingame in general

i mean removing the function as well
