Whoa does the Canadian one actually change the metal color in the pit?

Sounds like a jack of all trades

I don't know very much about it tbh. Apparently, the Gull Wings weren't designed for any aerodynamic benefit, but don't detract from the plane's performance either. I've just heard people say its a boom and zoom aircraft, but how will it compare to the wwii fighters already in DCS?

Lol where is this from?

Lol it fits but it kind of seems like a vague tease. I'm not as excited for the Corsair as the Viggen or Tomcat, but I've definetely become much more interested in the plane.

Very interesting stuff guys, thanks! I didn't know DCS was so in depth with this, but I'm not surprised.

I just got the P-51 this morning, and I've been having a lot of fun with it on the Dogs of War server. One of the things I particularly like about the plane would be all the engine management that needs to be done. You need to decide how much you want to open your radiators, careful to not let the engine run on the ground too long without a consistent airflow. Once your in the air, you need to manage your manifold pressure to keep your coolant from getting too hot. These things were especially important on the server I was doing, as apparently at the time the outside temperature was supposed to be hot. I wonder how these things will carry over when we Normandy comes out.

Too much hype.

No... Burma???

Yes but one that is bred for dogfighting, and is a perfect rival for planes like the mig-21 and f-5, both historically and in performance.

Your probably right. The missile burned up high most likely because thats where the air is thinner and it can make more out of its short thrust time, but the diving action it did would force a new dynamic on the target. As someone else said, the rwr won't always catch the missile, and for most planes the F-14 will be firing the Phoenix out of their sensor range.

Sounds good to me :lol:

And I'm pretty sure the Jug is being developed by ED, possibly being farther along then Spitfire.

Very cool stuff man, thanks for sharing

In the Korean War, the F-4U was used extensively, along with the P-51 (in a ground attack role) A Korean theatre would be very cool, and would give the Sabre and Mig-15 something to do, while opening up a lot of new possibilities, even with modern planes. (Mig-21, F-18, F-14, A-10c, etc.) I would still love Japanese warbirds to be added as their aesthetic and characteristics fascinate me

Apparently it was leaked today that ED had a Crimea theater planned. A modern day one, but it would still be awesome for WWII combat. Also I remember the op mentioning Il-2 and Il-10. I would love an Il-10, and while not being as iconic as Il-2, it would fit very well into DCS theatres. Its a late war plane, and would fit in Korean theater. A Korea theater would fit Mig-15, Sabre, P-51, Leatherneck's F4u, and an Il-10 if someone did that.

Mostly we just need AI bombers of all variety. B-24, B-25, B-17, A-26 for Americans, HE-111, Ju-88, and maybe a Dornier for Germans. I'd love to see a bomber module for DCS, but I don't think a big one like a B-17 is likely even after multicrew. I think an A-26 module would be very nice, or a Beaufighter. A Bf-110 would be a great multi-crew heavy fighter that would open up a lot of possibilities including nightfighting, bombing strikes, and recon.

I've always wanted a tank sim in DCS. I believe something like an M1a1 Abrams would be a good start, or a russian tank such as a T-72. DCS needs WWII ground units, and wwii ai aircraft. When these are released with Normandy, I would love to see a wwii tank sim in DCS.

How exactly does programming an "explosive element" in the rounds affect the damage? Does the damage model take into account this coding and take on more devastation?

I didn't realize the Huey had nvgs. I currently don't have the heli, but that makes me a lot more interested in it.

Beautiful

So excited for this module

I'd love an F-13. If any other variant was added besides Bis, this would be it, because it is the most varied. Other variants are good too but their more similar to bis just with less systems and perhaps even lacking a gun. The F-13 would be a fun interceptor to fly, especially with Razbam now working on a mirage III.

That makes sense. Its also pretty easy to roleplay an earlier mig, by just restricting yourself to older weapons. I'd mostly just like to see some variety, which can be accomplished in making a Middle Eastern pilot model for Gulf of Hormuz (wearing older soviet flight helmet, and perhaps a big mustache) or a North Vietnamese pilot model. It may not seem like a big deal, but the current pilot model looks too much like Novak.

Your right I don't know what I was thinking
