    After the Tomcat?

    in Heatblur Simulations

    Posted

    We need to be realistic, we're not going to get a Russian fighter that is post 70's. Razbam already tried with there MiG-23, but ED didn't give them the green light. I would love to see more Redfor aircraft, but it's just not going to happen. That said I think the Intruder would be perfect, that way we would have a perfect 1990's CVW.

    Purchasing the Persian Gulf Map for MP, who's buying it?

    I don't think the Persian Gulf map and NTTR are really comparable. If you're wondering why nobody flies on the NTTR, it is because of how limited it is with possible missions. Plus the setting never feels right for any operation that is outside of the training realm. Whereas the Persian Gulf map is ripe for possible missions, both historical and fictional. Its timeframe can span from the 80's to present time. It's the perfect home for the Hornet, Tomcat, F-5, MiG-29, MiG-21, etc... I think it will compete very well with the Caucasus. Especially since many of us love CV operations, to which the Persian Gulf is currently the only realistic option for that.

    F-14D??

    The same here.

     

    Specially the older and archaic, avionics, HUD symbology, etc are more my thing.

     

    Me also, I love the cockpit of the A/B, I personally don't like the HUD on the D. I think you loose some visibility that the A/B has with the HUD being projected straight onto the front glass with no combiners blocking vision. I can't wait to tame the TF-30, flying to its limits takes a lot of skill. Whereas with the D, because of the advancements made with its avionics, it doesn't require the same amount of time and training as the A/B.

    Well I'll be definitely purchasing the map, while yes, primarily for MP, I will use it extensively in SP. Though usually I only use SP for training to hone my skills for MP.

     

    Until we get a Dynamic Campaign, I see MP being the future for DCS.

     

    I think with SRS really starting to build it's user base on servers. I'm flying a lot more with people whom want to coordinate rather than turing the server into a free for all.

    I cannot believe I'm about to say this, as I would absolutely LOVE the F-14D, but I'm actually against it.

     

    It would require a massive amount of work, and I'd rather HB spend those man hours on a new airframe.

     

    Imagine if HB would do a Tornado for example... Wouldn't you rather have that when we already are getting the F-14A/B?

     

    This is what I also think. I'm also thinking that by making the D, the by far definitive Tomcat, wouldn't it make the A/B redundant effectively?

     

    But maybe I'm not looking at it in the right light. But I just don't see the point of the extra time it would take to give us the D, when we are already getting the venerable B? Especially when, as you mentioned, it's time that would be taken away from another module?

    HUD refresh rate

    This is a debate over preference.

     

    Half the people arguing against an unrealistically smooth HUD update rate are probably (like me) displeased with the incessant false medical claims that people use to get what they prefer. It's like the gluten free movement, when only a fraction of a percent actually have Celiacs. Show me a motion sickness or seizure concern that is not already grossly overshadowed by the use of head tracking and VR in a game that suffers from frequent FPS shifts and has lots of sudden perspective changes.

     

    What you do in trying to justify every want with a medical need is hinder those with actual medical needs. They end up restricted from certain activities due to their conditions because of so many specious claims requiring special consideration for that condition.

     

    If you just call it like it is and say we want a smooth HUD because we like it aesthetically, fine. But I don't think HB should include it in EA if it could cause any delay or if it would likely introduce additional bugs. If they can easily put it in as an option, sure thing. Have at it. But I'd rather they not have to spend significant time on that option.

     

    This is spot on, couldn't agree more with you! :megalol:

    I think the technical documents required for the APG-71 might be very scarce. I think we should just be happy with the A/B for the meantime. I think once they're done with that they should move on to other aircraft. But I'm completely on the side of Sirius with we should simply just let Heatblur finish the A/B first!
