At release will be an F-15E around 2005.
Legacy UFC
Full AN/APG 70 AA and AG
Lantirn TGP
My guess at release it will have all dumb bombs, GBU-12 and 10, 24 (maybe), GBU-38 and 31, CBU-97/87 103/105 (maybe), AGM-65 (maybe)
Guys, don't be so angry. 56 U$S for a preorder is not so bad compared to the rest of the modules.
I guess most people don't remember but the F-14 on preorder was 70U$S.
Don't forget the cut of ED and the discounted price, if the 3rd party also sells its product on steam it has another 30% cut.
ED can sell on steam and use miles since no one else is taking a cut.
The A-10C also, but I don't remember if each engine had their unique performance.
I don't speak of the FC3 aircrafts since I don't fly them since a long time.
Will the engines performance be unique for each engine? At the time of the trailer video its not the case.
Both engines have the same exact FF, Temp, RPM, nozzle and pressure.
I was thinking this could be the case since it's the first 2 engine aircraft for Razbam.
Thanks for the updates.
In 2005 the F-15E still used the Lantirn? Is the exact same targeting pod as in the F-14? I know the F-15E also carry the lantirn navigation pod but the resolution of the targeting pod is very bad for a post 2000 era.
You say the 24has no energy to reach the target at maximum range? That may be a bug. For what I saw when I used it, the bomb doesn't fly ballistic (it has an autopilot).
I will test it later.
As a side note I never drop a bomb or shoot a missile at maximum range, always at around 80%. Also I believe the DLZ desn't take into account the wind.
press SP on the right, that will put the TGP on snowplow. You can also slave it to another steerpoint (TMS down) or change to visual/DTOS and use it with the HUD/HMD.
Also the TGP moves faster with less zoom.
As others said, laser in DCS is around 8nm. The bomb will pick the laser up to the 8nm and then it will turn around.
The bomb may have energy to reach the target beyond 8nm. The target may be iluminated from other source.
Agree, atm if you want rain you need to select preset with overcast. A mix of overcast/scattered would be nice.
I was hoping the dynamic weather to generate clouds in 2.8.
I imagine it is possible to change it in the control page. But in DCS is not implemented so the bomb is really inaccurate with wind because of the BLU-97 flying away from the target.
Having the possibility to change the altitude may increase the chance of hiting the target?
From what I understand the german EF2000 received the meteors on 2018, so it will be a 2018 frankenstein aircraft.
It's hard to tell if it will be a mid 2000 aircraft since it will have features of wathever they can find and will not focus on making a particular plane.
Not a fan of that.
