GUFA

At the moment I just want them to bring the Kiowa to release. I am not a believer in 1 developer doing only xyz. Have some hope that a new third party/ies comes in and we get these at a greater rate. BTW great pics

Think RAZBAM are doing something in regards to Alouette 3 (AI for Sth Atlantic). Was in service with Argentine Forces during the Falklands war.

Outstanding man, absolutely chuffed at that news

Some minors, for your consideration.

Really with Marianas WW2 releasing in tnhe near future, It shouldn't be an afterthought...

I truly hope that one day These assets a deprecated into the game proper, using the LCS & MPF + for missions. Or even having a minor (FAC/OPV with Man pads_+ gun in AA mode) complicate what air-power can & cant do adds so much to the game play.Using an LCS to fly ASuW,ASW(come on ED wheres a Fire-scout) or Spec Ops (Black-hawk 'Sierra'/ UH-1Y) just seems like a wasted opertunity that adds to DCS .not detracts.

I get it the Bf-109 developer probably needed to build G-6 but thats water under the bridge now, simply stating my opinion that (A) something in the same weight class to the Mosquito. (2) WW2 Pacific is inbound and WE HAVE NO Japanese combat aircraft, period. Wonder what everyone's reaction to that will be?

Why go for a Variant, If it has to be a German Plane. then a Ju 88 gives axis air something that competes with the Mozzie. Also the Marianas is around the corner. We at least need 1 Japanese Fighter or ED is going to look really dumb

Dude, I'm not against an Afghan map, (That's why I want ED concentrating they're main efforts on the Earth) just want Afghan+++ and other maps faster+better SD: A:There was a time when there was ED wasn't going to have Helicopters, now we have 5-6. Couple of years back there was no way TAC Trans would be a part of DCS World, But now a 3rd party is bringing the C-130 to the Sim. and so on and so on... Ed has a habit of saying never ever until they don't So Relax, I'm not trying to hype, just watching the direction... B: " precise spherical Earth map for DCS" Isn't the 'Earth map' the "Canvas" & the mapmakers the painters

I really would like the Zero because it is available 'pre war'. Would very much like to see Aichi D1A 'Susie, B7A 'Grace' D3A 'Val' along with 'Betty'

What would a Afghanistan map be anyway. cant imagine it would be that large and cant realy see myself buying it without healthy chunks Pakistan, Iran or the Soviet" Stans"

Frankly, hoping ED quietly drops this one and puts its resources into the "Earth" map project. Let the third parties do Afghanistan and Indochina then after they release, implement Earth V1.0.

What exactly is a 1940s "BoB" layout compared to the 'Channel' or Normandy V1, V2. and how does that justify a new map of what we have any way? Just amalgamate them. 'Should' happen, IE. the 'Global'. but ED seems to want to go the most difficult way possible...

Going to be quite funny when Marianas WW2 drops and there is no Japanese Aircraft for players to fly. And paltry amounts of Japanese and US Ships and land assets to populate the map with.

Live Thread, Livveee!!! Now you'll notice my list has tiers, This is deliberate because I want to see DCS actually have competitive blocks that broadly match each other so no one country dominates. I really don't want to see a repeat of 2 Redfor Attack Helicopters and very little to counter them on the NATO side. Unfortunately ED doesn't seem to have learnt with nothing to counter the Chinook. I'm sure you guys understand and could present examples in the WW 2 side of DCS. You'll also notice a few Biplanes are on the the list. Apart from being frikken cool, I think they will be great in Alternative Universe multiplayer roleplay 1: Ju88 (early war), A6 Zero (again EW), Tupolev TB-3 or Illyushin DB-3, (I really would like some aircraft that represent that transition from peace to war like the I-16 does), the Macchi C.205 Veltro 2. C-47 Skytrain, Fokker Trimotor, Obviously not going please the DCS Fighter Mafia but with the C-130 inbound no reason to not to have them. Besides "Build them and they will come" Any USN Dive/ Torpedo bomber, Now my next selection are hard because I would want the some/all for the Pacific theater scenarios. Aichi Kokuri AB,AM,B,D series Carrier attack aircraft. And G3/4m, probably the 'Betty' in the near term. 3:Gloster Gladiator, Hurricane, IL-2, Beaufighter, P40 Warhawk and any (1) USAAF B type twin. 4: SM.79 Sparrowhawk, Fairey Swordfish, PE-2, Wellington and the Dornier Do 17. 5: Jets and heavy bombers.

Maybe as a dashboard wobbler The Herc gets this

He he ohhh stop

In terms of how we use our old mapped areas

So wouldn't be worth ED's time to re-use Items such as buildings, topography data and plants & trees? Would have thought that would save you guys a ton of time and money? I wont matter to me and other customers if the old maps are overwritten with the globe? Us users then simply define the area we want to use X km * y km and our system only generate that.

I think this is the last Big (huuuggggggeeeeeee) Priority that should be on ED's list. Once all the maths is done, a way of handling eras resolved and the current maps are integrated onto it. I daresay it becomes way easier for ED and third parties to bring maps to us customers. They (ED+third parties) will drown in money.

Hehe

Please for the love of.... the next FF FW Tactrans needs to be Redfor. This is one area (Yes among others) ED needs to do better. An Antonov 12 would just be what the doctor ordered. And with the Chinook inbound, getting a Harke, Hook and/or Halo is absolutely essential for Multiplayer campaign play. "Build them and they will come"

Here we bloody go Normandy 4.0 And yes Moooaaarrr map is always welcome

Belsimtech seems to have had an interest a while back but thats moot now after ED merged with them.

If a AH-1J/T/W/Z is actually something that's in the development pipeline. Pleaaase for the love of... actualy do a USMC Assets pack or 2. This is one thing that really grinds my gears not having the trimmings for the meal. I cant believe that we have Striker in game but none of the USMC LAV variants.
