I do not know what your trying to say, but I believe your talking about how there is no napalm in the sim. If I recall correctly ED was looking into it (I could be wrong). I'm pretty sure people want a versatile aircraft, one that has many roles including aerial firefighting, say a helicopter that has a combat version and a firefighting version. Or an aircraft that in the loading menu, you could take supplies or logistics, or water to fight fires. I don't want an aircraft that's only role is forest fighting, but one that CAN do the task of putting out/containing fires.

By infancy I implied that the sim still has room to grow, we just got the F18,yak52, and plenty more aircraft still on the way. I completely agree with your bottom statements, I don't want a half assed plane just because I like the aircraft, if it isn't to the threshold ED has set then I have no problem with it not being made. But if their is enough data, information that we can make the module and have it function very close what it should, then I say why not? I too don't want a simplistic incomplete version of the aircraft.

A E-2 could work like the GCI on the blue flag server, your not invulnerable, awacs works as a top down view (F10 map) where bandits pop up and you can guide teammates to the targets. And if a bandit comes after you, you gotta run and try and survive. I would recommend an E-1 tracer since it’s older and less things might be classified and it was used in Vietnam.

So if im in the F5 im just gonna turn and burn lol in a serious note it doesn't surprise me that the mig 19 can turn better, so it looks like if im in a f5 I m gonna have to get my shots off as fast as I can and get the kill before the merge. Or try to sneak up on him, who knows when the 19 releases I'll probably be flying that.

So is it proven that DCS can only support two engines or less, or is it a rumor, cause otherwise a C-130 would be amazing.

I've been hearing this MAC thing, I must be missing something but I have no clue what it means lol

Ik but we got small runways and stuff lol

I believe the beauty of DCS is that it’s still in its infancy, there is so much room for growth in the GAME. Believe it or not but majority of the planes we have if not all aren’t 100% complete. Many planes have sections and functions still classified. I mean you say u can accept compromises in one sentence, and then the next you say you can’t accept any and we should go play another game. We got the damn F-18 and I’m POSITIVE some parts of the plane are still classified. This is a sim, and even other study level sims aren’t 100%. If you really want to learn these aircraft and they’re systems. Go fly them in real life. I’m completely fine with u not wanting the F-117 and that’s completely acceptable to me, everyone has opinions and that’s ok. It’s just the fact that other modules have made compromises too.

What about an A310 aerial refueling, it’s a little smaller than the 767 and A330 and might better fit the map size we got. Plus quite I a bit of countries use it as a base for airway refueling and transport.

Now I don’t program or have done any modules. But if I remember researching the F-117 stealth capabilities is that it isn’t invisible, but delays the search radar from tracking you. So they will see you, but after you have flown away. Keep in mind that an old SA-2 was able to shoot one down, because the general moved the site randomly, so the F-117 flight planners had him fly right over the site. So another part is planning your flight to try and avoid Sam sites. I remeber making a thread about it and got flamed lmao And to the whole classified thing, a quick search brought plenty of manuals, but I haven’t read them all and don’t know if they are real or not. But stealth tech is still classified, perhaps we could substitute what the material is, with what it does somewhat. I would assume we don’t need 100% of all information on the stealth tech, but add an in game mechanic that acts as a substitute for it. I wouldn’t mind if it was FC3 as well. The F-117 is used for deep penetration strike, not sead. I also remember reading that when the bomb bays are open the plane is no longer stealthy so that’s a risk. For me personally I would love a new role and different type of aircraft, but I also understand why the module would be difficult to make.

I wasn’t born now I’m 18

Question: Since I’m not that knowledgeable about the Mig-19. I’m just curious about the maneuverability of the aircraft compared to aircraft we have around that era (F5, Mig21, etc) Does it have the thrust advantage to the F-5 like the 21? The 19 is looking fantastic! Definitely a buy! Edit: fixed auto correct

This thread is for funny things :/

Please remember this

Absolutely 100% recently had one a few hours away from where I live, would love to see this happen. They could make a C-130 which would be very versatile. It could have a variant to fight forest fires/ transport/ airdrop/ or aerial refueling. Just a thought!

Oooooo I like the sound of a sea eagle

LOL they got a countdown on their site y do dey do dis, I'm excited

The last news Razbam gave on the A-6 was a while back, now with the whole Falkland's theatre going on and the aircraft they want to make for that, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Heatblur produce the module since Razbam has their plate quite full, either way, whoever (if) makes the module, I'm sure it will be great.

Kind of surprised it’s not a aircraft from the falklands war since we are getting that map.

I was for the O-2 before but after seeing its armament I like it even more.I wouldn't want the development of the o2 to impact the f15 and those in development, if they have the resources to make this aircraft without delaying the rest that have been announced, then please go ahead.

Id be all for a militarised king air, tho I would suggest a dhc-4 caribou for the Vietnam era since its a more civil/unarmed military plane.

I doubt it as well but this would be an amazing feature.

A competent pilot sure wouldn’t get himself into a situation like that. Who says if I buy it I’m gonna go look for dogfights, I vote yes cause it could usher in something new to the sim. Maybe it’s time that DCS breaks from its run and gun type thing. That being said I’m not a huge fan of the OV-2, but I’m open to change and wouldn’t mind trying it out. I think people need to relax and let the sim expand, if it fails it fails then we know for a fact that we shouldn’t develop aircraft like it. No one is gonna stop making military aircraft, bloody hell the F-15E is coming. Let’s take a chill pill and see where this could take us.

Think of maybe a smaller medium range bomber that can still carry a lot of bombs but can go fast. Like an F-111

So when should we expect your module since its so easy to make one. Show maybe just a little respect for others going out of their way to make stuff for you.
