How would an IL-28 work in DCS as a module? I mean if it were made it would be the first pure dedicated bomber in DCS wouldn't it? If it's done then do you think it could open the possibility to a B-52 in the future?
Yes, packs is certainly a possibility, and they already have a pack with the Carrier, Su-33 and F/A-18 already being available. I don't think it'll ever be truly free
I initially thought Deka was going to make only Chinese aircraft. Nonetheless I'm happy if they are making other aircraft too.
IMO a good suggestion would be the Sepecat Jaguar (hopefully Darin II or III specs) as this is operated mainly by Indian Air Force to this day and is highly upgraded. It would make for an excellent attack aircraft plus be advanced enough to fit in a modern day scenario!
Since the Kuznetsov is also getting an update and is said to be added with the Super Carrier module. What about those that don't own it? Will they get a new Kuznetsov model or would it be the old rusty low poly one?
And if they get the new model what would be missing from it that the SC users would have?
I hope we can make a fictional Cold War mission in the PG map, say using Iran as a blue country maybe using IIAF F-5s as the mainstay against say Iraqi Migs which captured UAE
We're also getting the Forrestal class Carrier from HB, plus more Cold war planes like the Crusader from Mag3, A-6, A-7 and A-4 from Razbam. I know there's still a while for them but still
Yes but that's an exclusively Korean war server. I was thinking more along the lines of the current Cold War missions we have a generic US vs Russia situation and applying it with other countries and maps.
Also soon we'll have the F-4 Phantom which can also be Japanese, with maybe a few USAF F-5 on deployment against Mig-19s, Mig-21s and 15s of China and NK. I also forgot the upcoming Mig-23 by RAZBAM would also make a great addition
I've a suggestion for upcoming Mariana Island map. Can it be more of a China/NK vs Japan centric scenario with Japanese Sabres as the mainstay vs Chinese and NK Mig-19s/15s?
Welp it would always drive people to doing more research and seeing what DCS already has, and how they can replicate it in DCS using what they have. It'll also drive dev teams to develop more modules or more assets, therefore making the game more immersive and playable.
Not to mention adding assets to one map for a certain faction might just fill the need for another faction in another map too
I was recently doing a single player mission in the Hornet and noticed the startup sound of my AI wingman sounds way more realistic than mine. Especially during that spool up howl that the F404 makes during startup.
On the player Hornet it's too high pitch and short while the AI it's a but lower and longer which is kind of what the actual Hornet sounds like....
(with a bit of echo too :P )
Don't forget, PAF also flew the Sabre, and the IAF the Mig-21, both of which were the main players during the 65 and 71 war. This also gives the opportunity for new aircraft like the Hawker Hunter, Foland Gnat, Lockheed F-104!
Yes exactly what I'm saying. Bringing the Vinson to Stennis spec with more spawn points. Or it could also essentially be the new Carrier DLC itself when it's out (not sure if this is possible but in case it is)
I think it would be smarter to simply include it with the Su-27 as they're the exact same airframe at the end of the day. Making it a separate module only means people would buy that and not the Su-27 resulting in a decline in sales of that aircraft
I think the theme of FC3 and the Wallpaper in it is pretty dated in DCS and could use a rework. A new wallpaper featuring the J-11 among other aircraft as it is exclusively an FC3 aircraft. Could we possibly see a new theme song also used?
