AIM-9D, AIM-9G and AIM-9H are Navy developments of the Sidewinder. The USAF went with the AIM-9E instead of just following the Navy's lead. When the HB F-4J or F-4S releases I assume the Navy versions of the Sidewinder will be included... and they will also be needed for the F-8J Crusader.

Agreed, Flankers are a lot lower on my list of wanted RedFor aircraft. Been enjoying the MiG-29 quite a bit. It would be nice to see some MiG-25PD/RB/BM's, MiG-23MF/ML/BN's, MiG-27M/K, Su-17M2/M3/M4 and even the Su-24M/MK. Never really been a fan of the Chinese clones but a Q-5 Fantan, J-8B/D/H Finback or JH-7A Flounder would definitely pique my interest. I'm glad that Red Star are bringing the aircraft like the MiG-17F Fresco to DCS for that mid-cold war era (1960-1970's). Imagine the fights between F-100D's, F-104G's verses MiG-17F's, and hopefully MiG-21F/PF's.

...and with the exact same combat capability as it was physically incapable of firing weapons. It didn't even have a cannon.

To sell them to countries who also have large stockpiles of ex-soviet weapons. Ukraine and India immediately come to mind.

It's up to the mission maker to balance the missions. If you want redfor/bluefor balance with historical parity, the MiG-29 (and FC3 Su-27) will be pitted against aircraft available at the very end of the cold war (1985-1991). Its historical peers currently in the game are the F-14A/B, F-4E, F-5E, and Mirage F1CE/EE/BE. All of the other modern fighters are mid-1990's-2010's upgrades.

The CH-3 retained the water landing capabilities of the Sea King and, funnily enough, was more stable than the Sea King on the water due to the larger sponsons located further aft on the fuselage. I wouldn't say no to a CH-3E Jolly Green either, but I also don't expect ED to make one due to its relative obscurity and correspondingly perceived lower potential earnings from a CH-3 module.

Well, yes and no. They could get away with doing an SH-3G or UH-3H as they were utility versions of the H-3 Sea King which wouldn't need the ASW fit. Now, While I would buy it, I think most would want the fully ASW missionized SH-3H. That being the case, I doubt ED would bother developing it. While I'm hoping for an AH-1F, It might be something like a UH-1N or CH-46E and that would also be good.

Thanks for the tip. Now, If only ED would add some more liveries, it would be more useful in MP.

Is there any chance we could get more skins for the AI C-47? The Normandy D-day invasion happened a long way from the Pacific. I recently downloaded some 3rd party L2D2 skins but when installed it completely overwrote the default skin no matter what country was selected so that was a no go. It would be nice to have more Army/Navy/Marine Corps C-47/R4D, a Japanese L2D2 Tabby or two, and Russian Lisinov Li-2 skins available. maybe toss in a Commonwealth Dakota skin or two as well.

From the trailer it looks like all they have now are Polish and Russian skins. Will there be any other Warpac or Middle Eastern liveries?

I doubt ED will revisit the AH-64 with a radically different earlier version of an already complex module. That has not been their modus operandi with the single exception of the significantly less complex FW-190A-8 and FW-190D-9... and I think other factors might have been at play there. The best US Attack Helo you could hope for would probably be an Army AH-1P/Q/E/F Cobra for CW Germany. I wouldn't hold my breath for that either as ED also has a history of doing the most modern and capable versions of an airframe that they can legally get information for so I expect that if they do a Cobra variant, it will be a Marine Corps AH-1W Super Cobra or AH-1Z Viper. As for an AH-64A, the best one could hope for is a third party to convince ED to allow them to develop an AH-64A. The problem with that being it would rightly be considered as sales competition to ED's already existing AH-64D which would be negatives for both ED and the potential third party developer. A lot of money goes into creating this software and, at the end of the day, it has to be maximally profitable to even be considered for development. Would I like to see a cold war AH-64A? Absolutely! Do I think it is going to happen? If enough people ask for it maybe but as it stands right now, not a snowballs chance in hell. I would love to be proven wrong though.

Looks like the DCS authorization servers are down. @BIGNEWY

Back in the 80's Ramstein AB was home to the 86th TFW. They operated the F-4E from 77-85 and the F-16C from 85-92. They didn't become an Airlift Wing with C-130's until 1992. The art on the tower should look like this:
