The_Pharoah

hi. Bit late but thought I should reply. Would absolutely LOVE a full South East Asia map of Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia in the late 60s period. Would really make the Huey shine. Being able to do ops like: - troop transport - troop insertion/extraction - medevac - gunship support - night missions (no NVGs so flares)

oh and it'll have names we can actually pronounce corrrectly!!

Go with the UH-1H. Best all round heli imho and perfect to start learning in. I'd stay away from the gazelle. The 'flight model' on that chopper doesn't seem right. I'd leave the Mi-8 as last - she's a big girl with massive rotors and is a lot more forgiving than the Huey.

we've seriously needed a MODERN NATO utility helicopter after the Mi8. And no the Huey doesn't cut it. The Blackhawk is in use by armies all over the world so would be the perfect choice.

This. When I saw the 30mm chain gun I went...'oh wait, it can't be...please....' and then BOOM. Floored. Now we can pair the Kiowa with the Apache.

+1. this is especially a PITA when you're doing carrier landings and you miss something like the alt setting. Out of interest, how am I able to get an alt setting online if its not published?

+1 for this. Are we able to remove the chat as well? That annoys the crap out of me.

I've said this before and I like throwing it every now and then. I wish ED would concentrate on developing a 'complete scenario' for jets like they are for WW2. I'm talking say Vietnam or Korea. But develop it properly so that you have all the correct assets and map so we can actually have DCS Vietnam servers running which includes say: Map: SEA (North/South Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, bit of Thailand, Gulf) A/c: all the main Vietnam era a/c (F4, F105, A6, A1, Huey, Mig 17, Mig 19, Mig 21 - all correct era a/c) Assets: SAMs, AAA, naval assets, etc So yeah a full and complete scenario where we know we are fighting the proper ver of F4 (say the Es) vs the correct ver of the Mig 17/19/etc. Also being able to use the Huey like they did during the war. Same for say a Korean conflict. We already have the F-86 and Mig 15. But complete it with the other a/c the USN flew (F4U, F-51, F-80) plus all the required assets. Nothing annoys me more than servers that are filled with every a/c in a 'do whatever you want with whatever you want' scenario....because theres no immersion whatsoever.

thanks guys - yeah even those ARMA/OFP animations would be awesome. DCS I find is also about the little things...thats why we love DCS..ie making all the switches in the cockpit work (or most anyway) so we can properly start/navigate our a/c or helicopters...but then having an empty cargo bay kills it. I wish there was a mod or something out there.

DCS is make believe. Yes I know. But there's nothing worse than having to pretend to see troops in your huey and instead rely on a notification. Can we get this added to the game? Even if its a fake set of soldiers just standing in the huey - its better than an empty seating area.

Hornet all the way for me for all the points noted earlier. The key thing is, the Hornet was developed as a naval multirole fighter from the get go (i understand) whilst the Viper was developed as an air superiority fighter...which was then converted to A2G. I still love the Hornet.

I did initially before I learned the systems. I still kinda do for the A10, only because I don't spend much time in it now. Same for the Mirage, F5, etc. However most of my time is spent in the Hornet which i always start manually.

THIS is what I'm interested in.

any idea what time this is expected to roll out? i"ll be honest - I was/am excited about FS2020 coming out...but a little part of me was even MORE excited about the Syria map being released!! c'mon ED..lets get that map rolling! :)

Damn this would be awesome. Not just for having a NATO attack heli (finally!) but also, finally we can welcome Brits into combat!! I don't think we have anything that the RAF/RN used/uses as a front line fighter or chopper as yet until now (and with the incoming Typhoon). I'm ignoring training a/c (and the harrier...which is the USMC variant). Am I missing something?
