"HUD or navigational implementations" That's the FLIR you're referring to isn't it? Is it an F-16? EDIT: I meant LANTIRN

Right now I'd say it's meant for flying seeing as missiles aren't modeled and bombs don't have shrapnel. Still better than anything else.

I recall they did say something about the other two modules moving faster than intended so hopefully that coupled with the lack of info indicates they are saving it for release like you say.

Any update on when the new modules are revealed/teased? I thought it was in 'a few days' but that was weeks ago.

The verdict is in, the people want an A6! :joystick:

Would the GIUK Gap include the actual countries or just the water?

There were a few others in the 0-5 range I just listed the F-5 because people kept guessing it.

I did a list of aircraft numbering avionics common to the F-14A/B: A-4 - 13 F-111 - 8 F-4 - 16 F-5 - 3 A-6 - 21 A-7 - 19 B-1 - 6 B-52 - 4 Harrier - 11 S-3 Viking - 9 Looks like a toss up between the A-4, F-4, A-6 and A-7.

They said the F-14B would be mid-90s, are you sure it's not possible it's a late-life upgrade A-6E? Just how rare were A6 HUDs? They also said 'HUD elements', not sure what that means. Looking at avionics comparisons it has to be either an A-6, A-7, Harrier, F-111 or F-4 in rough order of parts common to the F-14.

"it must be noted that several technologies developed for one of our other aircraft can directly be drawn upon to shorten the development time of the F-14. Elements include e.g. HUD elements or Navigational implementations." The F-14 INS shares commonality with three other aircraft: The F/A-18, which is already being done by ED, The EA-6B which is electronic warfare which is probably hard to get info on and the Marine Harrier AV-8B. It's a harrier isn't it? Source: http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/jetds/an-asn.html EDIT: D'oh, that's the INS for the F-14D AN/ASN-92 is shared by an A-6 Intruder.

Very ocean-y and very cold, hmmm...

But will we be able to take it off for an authentic 'nam experience? Either an A7 or A6 would be very high up on my wishlist, A6 being at the top. EDIT: They mentioned nav system of one of the new modules would share commonality with the f-14, the EA-6B prowler apparently does so maybe the later A-6's did too? Also shares commonality with the AV-8B harrier which I guessed earlier. EDIT2: That's the nav system for the F-14D sorry. The earlier F-14 nav shares commonality with the A6 intruder!

Super excited about the ground radar :thumbup:

uh-oh :noexpression:

Just tell us what da module is an fuhgeddaboudit

I always place the fixed net line that's below the pipper with the line at the top of the target

Come to think of it, Vietnam would be a bit unbalanced if it was down to air power in DCS. List of 'must-haves' for each side: US and pals: F-4 Phantom F-105 Thunderchief F-111 Aardvark A-1 Skyraider A-4 Skyhawk A-6 Intruder A-7 Corsair F-8 Crusader F-86 Sabre Huey AH-1 Cobra CH-34 Choctaw vs North Vietnam: Mig-15 Mig-17 Mig-19 Mig-21 Mil Mi-4 Mil Mi-8 Sim-level SA-2 You would have to REALLY flesh out combined arms and add an infantry component to compel people to play North Vietnam on multiplayer.

I really hope we get a Vietnam theater. How hard would it be to take the mig-21bis and make a timeframe-accurate variant? Would making a mig-17 and mig-19 be made simpler by having the mig-15 already?

Why does the mig-21bis only have radio presets? Was this to prevent defections?

Are LN going to tell us if we guess correctly? I'm now going to guess a starfighter for no reason at all.

+1 I fear it may never happen because of the bias against non sleek, non single-seat fighter planes :cry:

I would like to see the English Electric Canberra, maybe the US variant on a Vietnam map too.

It's already been confirmed the next two modules are one old aircraft and one modern one.

It's a zero isn't it

Is it a harrier? I'm only guessing this because I read you're a marine and you have a window there saying equalizer.
