the Dog sabre would be awesome. Seeing the Italian nickname was Kappone I hope someone does a livery with Al.

I used to follow a guy who flew the Phantom from the Midway. He was with the vigilantes so that may have been him behind the stick of one of the birds in the video

https://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article9.html states that The Block 50/52 is the current production version of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It features the Improved Performance Engines, either the F110-GE-129 for the block 50 or the F100-PW-229 for the block 52. The F100-PW-229 is lighter and more powerful than earlier F100s, and had been flying at Edwards AFB since mid-1990 in test ship #81-0816. Both engines are rated at 29,000lbs of thrust (129kN). This version first appeared in late 1990. It was unofficially designated F-16CJ/DJ for the same reason as the Block 40/42 unofficial designation. The first Block 50/52 F-16 rolled out of the Fort Worth facility on October 31, 1991 (#90-0801). Production of this version is still ongoing and will be expanded well beyond 2005 with the latest aircraft delivered to Greece and Israel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So the F-16C block 50 and 52 entered service after ODS Looking at https://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article7.html the block 40/42 could carry HARMS though it looks like they were added later An article written ODS or shortly after https://www.airandspaceforces.com/article/0791weasels/ it looks like the available modes were limited

True, but the Solomons would still be a good map.

You forgot about a notable battle in the Solomons campaign, Guadalcanal. It is one of the Solomon Islands. The real question though is how big should the map be?

As it looks like we might be getting a folda gap map, I would love to see an A or early C model

I have stated this before, if there are noticeable but minor differnces between two blocks such as weapons then it would be nice to have a multipack. Though with the 50 and 52 I would like a few things cleared up, my understanding of things is that the main difference between the Block 50 and 52 was the engine, and the CJ came in both the 50 and 52 variant as the defining trait of the CJ is the harm targeting pod. Next do you have any documentation about either the 50 or 52 carrying the Shrike, as I'm thinking the last Shrikes were fired in Desert Storm and the 50 and 52 entered service after the last Shrike was gone. I know the F-16 carried the Shrike in Desert Storm and earlier, and with the upcoming folda gap map those blocks would be nice to have. Lastly, the Harpoon, if this is, in fact, a difference then it would be a good reason to add the 52 to the existing viper module. I know the engine and flight model would be slightly different so even if I am right that would be the only difference then that alone would be the reason to have the block 52.

The question though is what % would be the same?

While simply slapping a Soviet livery on the model we have won't work, I'm still wondering how hard would it be for Dekka to tweak the model and add the tail gun, right nose and antennae?

and if they had waited until the 28th it would be on the anniversary of the first flight

My dream map would also include Sicily

The main question here before we get to the technical issues, are if you saw a Tu-16 and an H-6 sitting on the flight line without any markings how hard would it be to tell them apart?

I know there are quite a few differences, though the question is how hard would it be to convert the existing model?

We have the H-6 in the Chinese asset pack would it be possible to get a Tu-16 based on the H-6 model?

While they might not be identical the real question here is how much time they think it will it take

I think this would be a good request for Dekka. I don't think it would be too hard to convert the existing h-6 into a tu-16.

When comparing real-world and DCS explosions it is important to ask not only what sort of bomb was used but also what was the target? If a massive explosion in a video could be an ammo dump exploding or it could be the DCS explosion is too small

My qustion right now is if there is enough information for an F-111B?

I know we can't have a Mideast map now due to TDK limits but looking at what ED is doing with Afghanistan, I could see it as an eventual possibility. ED could model blanks spots then set up a system where the maps would load as needed

I would love to see a WWII or Cold war Eastern Europe map. I don't expect tosee a modern era one . I would love to see an expanded Caucuses map and one for Kurks in World War II.

Yes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCB-27?wprov=sfla1 It looks like the SCB-27 rebuilds were done shortly after WWII the 5-inch turrets by the Superstructure were removed.

The La-7 is in the works by Octopus-G so there is no reason to cancel it. I would agree we need the Zero and other Japanese planes especially as flyable modules. However we still need REDFOR assets for the Korean era as well as World War II. There is no reason to to have both.

We have the AD on the way it's the A-1H variant (ad-6 pre 1963). The A-1D (ad-4N) was a night attack variant I would like some more information but that could be interesting. My next question is would the planned Essex Carrier work? I know they went through a scb refit. We also need the redfor

We need some ground assets at the minimum some infantry with ppsh.
