The Spit, Hurricane, 109 and 110 really need to be done as full modules.
The others could be done as AI either by ED or by Modders. (If anyone decides to do one).
That's only 4 full modules.
Also a JU-87 is in progress.
I would love to see P-40. E or F would cover most time periods and nations.
It could be used in Pacific, also as a Kittyhawk for Med scenarios with Commonwealth nations.
That said I hope they fix the AI gunners.
I did a quick mission where I placed 4 B-29's (Mod), 4 Mig-15's and 4 F-86's.
I placed my flight of F-86's too far away and by the time I got to the battle the B-29's had shot down all of the Mig-15's Lol !
I used to have a gentleman come in our office who was a navigator in a Lancaster.
He said they only saw a German fighter one time.
It was heading toward them but at a lower altitude and the pilot called out for the gunners to hold fire so as not to alert it.
It flew past them and kept going.
That said , can someone direct me to a detailed training video using the Litening pod and Harpoons in an anti-ship patrol ? I've looked through many video where the player knows approximately where the target is or has a waypoint already designated.
But nothing on a random anti-ship patrol that I can find.
I think something like that would still be considered "real world" in my view.
Just adjusted for gameplay purposes as it's an open water flight it shouldn't matter too much.
Planes could start with a reduced fuel load to simulate a longer flight.
Probably lots of different opinions on that.
As far as which would be quicker to make I have no idea but I suspect there wouldn't be too much difference once the scale and geographical boundaries are set. The maps we have now don't have every detail I believe.
I would not. Why do all the work for a place that doesn't exist interrupting normal development ?
Same thing for fictitious aircraft / ground units /Countries etc.
There are so many unique locations around the world that have never been done in a Sim .
I play DCS to be as realistic as possible. - Maybe that's just me but I would not buy or use one.
Correction : If it was a 3rd party free map that was close to looking like an area that we have no even close representation of now I might.
I only get 1 default(D Day Doll) - until I install the other skins(Flak Easter & Miss Mischief). Then I lose the default - if I choose US as a nation. If I choose UK the 1 skin is there but not the other two.
2.5.6 Open Beta
My folders don't have USA in the name either. Just DCS OPENBETA/Liveries/ 364th etc. Also D Day Doll isn't there at all.
That would be because I had no B-17G folder , I had to make it.
My full path is c:/users/owner/saved games /dcs openbeta/liveries/B-17g/
