Mig Fulcrum

Very nice add, the entire cargo mechanic is very interesting and I'm curious to know how it will be implemented in MP and Dynamic Campaign. I'm only a bit skeptical about the current map size for a cargo plane, I think they are still a bit small for a good implementation

Yeah, I always wonder what was the point of leaving blank pages in the real manuals

Many thanks, pretty clear now

Very nice thank you very much! I just have some question that I probably miss through time. When you say the A has no internal guide it means it have no radar? it never goes active? it is basically a Fox-1 that can be used in TWS. And about the error of the C, it means that once I shoot in STT it is pointless to maintain lock because it is active? Even if it is beyond its internal radar range? Or it become pointless to shoot C in STT? Or is it just a minor effect? Just curious to understand what the target RWR will display.

Nice, but the AMX is an attacker, not a fighter lol

Very nice list, I'd like to add some planes, feel free to pick whatever you want. Western Fighters: 1.98 F9F Cougar 1.38 F9F Panther 1.05 F-89 1.00 F-102 0.89 F2H 0.80 F-101 Warsaw Pact: 1.07 Mig-27 0.59 Mig-9 These are just the most produced but the list could go on: 0.54 Sea Hawk 0.51 F3H 0.45 Saab 32 Lansen 0.43 Javelin 0.42 F4D 0.34 F-106 0.33 EE Lightning (planned) 0.23 La-15 0.21 Buccaneer 0.20 F-11F 0.20 AMX Ok I stop with 200 produced

I got it but this thread is for E variants only (maybe F and some G too) but not for Navy Phantoms (or short nose in general) Once HB will announce the Navy variant we will all suggest your kind of liveries but for this thread stick to E Phantom.

I think you did not understand

Honestly since the famous modern (American) aircrafts are finished I would like ED concentrate on early variants of these modules, like F-16A, F-15A, A-10A and even F/A-18A. Pretty sure they would sell more than maybe more niche 3rd or 2nd gen aircraft. Let the 3rd parties do that. In this way we can simulate from early '70/late '60 all the way up to modern days.

I completely agree with that but I also find cool to be some kind of competitive even an a modern scenario with a much older F-16. But as I said I also like the idea of a nimble only-aim-9-equipped F-16 as you say.

How cool would it be? (This is a ADF but I think it is pretty identical to the earlier As)

No, being the ADF a post-OCU upgrade for blk15 F-16 it could certainly carry AIM-120 and there are plenty of photos showing it. Said that I agree a standard blk15 (or 10) would be very cool.

+100000 I would very much like an ADF because it still can be used in modern combat with TWS and AIM-120 as a multirole (can even carry Mavs) but it can still be used as a late Cold War asset using Sparrow an Aim-9. But a standard blk15 would be very nice as well (as far as I know it's the most produced block). If a blk10 will arrive I ask just one thing: GPU-5/A 30mm gun pod for Desert Storm CAS. Furthermore a blk10 can simulate a blk5 and blk1 with just some skins, differences are very minor.

If it is an option why not? +1 I totally agree on more realism

+1 on a FF A-10A, Desert Storm or even a earlier version

I remember HB said the B is late '90 (1997 if I remember correctly) and the current A is late '80 (maybe I'm wrong but I think 1989)

Oh yes this aircraft would be soooo cool, just hope for the afterburner variant. It remind me a lot the SEPECAT Jaguar. And it would fit in the (hopefully) future Balcans map. I would like a G-2 Galeb too.

As far as I know the current USS Forrestal is a '80 modification an that's cool but since there is no need for more modern-oriented carriers (we have CVN-74 and CV-59 for free and the whole SC module) it would be cool to have the remaining ships of the class representing different time frames. In this way we could have a carrier for almost each decade to make period-correct scenarios. For example: CV-59 - '80 CV-60 - Late '50 with still early deck markings and original armament CV-61 and CV-62 - Late '60 and '70s for future Vietnam scenario (along with the future naval F-4 by HB) and perfect for the upcoming F-8J (maybe one free and one part of the SC module). Just a suggestion, what do you think?

If you are talking about the F4U it'll definitely come first. If you mean A-7E my bet is on the Corsair.

If we are talking about F-4S it's not a '90s machine, it's a late '70s / early '80s. Pretty different.

Ehm no. HB is actually developing a true -95GR for the iranian version that will have a somewhat restricted weapon loadout, no TCS and no lantirn capability. They recently told in the recent interview once the -135GR Early is released it will "unlock" the development for the -95GR. Check their roadmap if unsure: https://trello.com/c/gTm512yI/15-f-14a-95gr-iriaf-version-bonus

To me instead 2025 sounds like a early-Alpha release

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't the PF/PFM the most used in combat variant of all MiG-21s?

Esatto, è quello che volevo dire. Oltretutto è strano che abbiano già ricevuto l' "autorizzazione" a diventare 3rd party ufficiale senza altri lavori in passato da dimostrare o un modulo dell'F-100 già testabile. So che hanno fatto una ottima mod dell'F-22 ma non pensavo bastasse. Vabbè, alla fine meglio per noi però è una cosa un pò atipica.

A PFM for recreating some Vietnam duels would be amazing, such a good match with F-4E and F-100D
