At least two people agree we are in the month of December. After looking into my Walt Disney World crystal ball to see what might happen in the near future, I see some possibilities. They will either drop more hints about the Eurofighter or actually make it available for sale. Additionally, the F-4E might be publicized in a newsletter update to everyone. Even more so, the South Atlantic Map might be available before Christmas. After rubbing my Walt Disney World crystal ball so more, it quit working. It does not tell me if any new mods for ships or gunships will occur. Sheesshhh. Time to send the crystal ball into Disney's crystal ball repair shop. And now back to reality. It is possible that ED might be releasing planes, mods, and other things before Christmas. During Christmas, consumers are likely to spend, spend, and spend money. Yet, ED said they postponed something(s) until January 2022. In the meantime, we will likely need to be content with what ED is offering until they give us new information.

You are not thinking like the military regarding needing hours to change the oil on the Apache. It is called "gainful employment for military personnel." Thank goodness I am not a standup comedian; I would keep falling down and laughing at myself

Bummer. Ok. Thanks for the response. That makes sense since I do not see any refueling probes on Apaches in online photos or in the Hollywood movies.

What about adding the EF-11 to the F-111? You have the fighter/bomber version as well as the EW version. Two great types of F-111's to use for the Syria Map or the Persian Gulf Map.

I second the suggestion.

We need to add something else. Add the function to do Rapid Runway Repair after an airfield is attacked. EOD can clear the ordnance away and then the civil engineering squadron can work on restoring the airfield back to operation in under 4 hours. You can also have one or more sweepers on the flight line, taxiways, and runways in operation to clear away FOD. Additionally, in the winter time, you can have snow removal equipment on the airfield. For example, you can use snow plows, snow brooms, and urea spreaders for airfields during wintertime.

ED, any plans to have a third party software vendor create the desired features for ships and submarines? With the understanding there is an agreement on the price and clear objectives stated, a third party vendor with expertise in creating ASW mods/programs/ships/subs/planes could create them for us. Clunky submarines that are hard to use is not fun. Perhaps the battle damaging for the modern ships and WW2 ships could be improved. Develop it, build it, sell it, and people on ED's website are very likely to build it.

Whatever version of the F-4E (or other variant), I am certain that virtual pilots will enjoy it. If many people contact the developer through the forum, then they might be inspired to create additional variants of the F-4.

Sounds like a great idea. I second the motion to create the Barents Sea map. In the meantime, the closest map we are likely to see is the South Atlantic Map when it is available.

I have not seen any Apaches with refueling booms, either. Therefore, I see the developers/programmers could explore adding one to the Apache.

Can a refueling boom be added to the Apache for air-to-air refueling?

Make it, post it online, and people will buy this (I think).

The super-duper dedicated ground crew person(s) can do an oil change after refueling. The pilots will have peace-of-mind knowing their chopper has grade-A JP-8 fuel and new engine oil.

Well, so much for socializing. Not likely to happen. Shucks. If there is a lot of snow, then everyone will have to grab snow shovels to clear away the snow and ice. They will be busy.

Let's add the ability for the ground crew to do an oil change for the chopper when at the FARP.

I want snow skies for my Apache (when it is available).

Maybe the ground crew, ground chief, and pilots could play tic-tac-toe on the icy winds. It would create great wonder.

Thank you for the response. This is helpful information.

Will pilots be able to do FARP? Like in the Persian Gulf or in the Syria Map?

We need to add animated ground crew with ice scrapers clearing frost or snow off the Apache when it is snowing in the game. It adds to realism.

Mumbling to myself at no information or indication of Viet Nam map. Ok. Moving forward, the F-4E can be used for the Syria Map and the Persian Gulf Map. At the same time, I wonder if the F-4E could be used in the South Atlantic Map when it is available.

Virtual pilots, which includes me, are rejoicing. We can use the F-4 in the Syrian Map or in the Persian Gulf Map. Which, in my mind, leads to another question. Does the mentioning of the F-4E "coming soon" mean that a Viet Nam Map is also being released? Enquiring minds want to know.

For the FOD that escapes detection and gets sucked into the jet's engine intake, wow is the plane. Expensive repairs at hand as well as one less war-ready plane.

Creative minds can use photos/videos of various ships/submarines available to the public to create systems. It's just thought.

ED should create their special gaming keyboard, gaming mouse, gaming speakers, and gaming headphones. Design these items for optimization purposes to be used specifically for DCS world. I feel these products would become popular.
