upyr1 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I was wondering if there would be any chance of seeing a WWII adaptation of the combined arms?:joystick:
ED Team NineLine Posted February 8, 2014 ED Team Posted February 8, 2014 Question was posed early on, but at the time they didnt know, I would ASSUME though that if its built upon DCS World, there is no reason to think it couldnt be done, even if its after release at some point.

Home Fries Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Don't see why not; we currently have WWII era stadiametric sights for the tanks anyway, so I can't see where the stretch would be. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
VincentLaw Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Question was posed early on, but at the time they didnt know, I would ASSUME though that if its built upon DCS World, there is no reason to think it couldnt be done, even if its after release at some point.It might be as simple as dropping all the files from \DCS World\Mods\tech\CombinedArms into \DCS WWII\Mods\tech\CombinedArms and maybe activating the license a second time. Certainly on my list of things to try, but of course the modern themed interface will be completely immersion breaking in the WWII setting. They already announced that all aircraft modules would be interchangeable between both programs. It is not a stretch to think that other assets may be interchangeable too. From what I have read, it looks like DCS WWII is just DCS World with a new interface and a new install directory. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Marko321 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 What an opportunity For a third party developer to make some quality armour modules Tiger Tank. T-34 /85. Sherman. It would certainly make DCS WW2 The ultimate WW2 simulation.
VincentLaw Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Yes and no, I am sure there would be some differences.Of course, I forgot to say all of the WWII specific vehicles, static objects, maps, and maybe a new F10 view/mission editor theme that may be included (and the exclusion of such modern things). I don't mean to trivialize the amount of work involved in the project. There may be other differences, but I expect that maintaining complete compatibility of all of the aircraft modules between the two could become a challenge if the two programs diverge too much. That said, CA is relatively generic and I would think (perhaps incorrectly) that it would be relatively straightforward for the developers to port over even if it is not directly compatible.

ZQuickSilverZ Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Congrats for asking probably the most loaded question I have ever seen on the forums.... Honestly I would rather stay with modern armour. If I want to play WWII I will go play IL2. IL2 is working on player usable ground units as well (last I heard... they may already have them). Does IL2 (the new versions) not satisfy your want for WWII? I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons. "I've seen steering wheels / arcade sticks / flight sticks for over a hundred dollars; why be surprised at a 150 dollar item that includes the complexities of this controller?! It has BLINKY LIGHTS!!" author unknown. These titles are listed in the chronological order I purchased them. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Does IL2 (the new versions) not satisfy your want for WWII? And what is wrong with having a choice. There are many fans of ground warfare out there, looking for a good WW2 Tank Sim, Think of the possibilities having a ground and Air sim mission on the same map at the same time. DCS have yet to make it work with CA but It would be a lot less complex a task in a WW2 environment. Less sophisticated AAA etc. With a WW2 armour element to the new version It would bring a whole new level of dynamic environment to DCS. DCS is the best Air warfare sim on the market, But its ground warfare element needs improving
ED Team NineLine Posted May 25, 2014 ED Team Posted May 25, 2014 What RRG does has no bearing on what ED does, so why take issue with wanting the same functionality in DCS WWII? And no IL2's that I know of have a real functioning ground game... Congrats for asking probably the most loaded question I have ever seen on the forums....

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Does IL2 (the new versions) not satisfy your want for WWII? no
Continuo Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 no David, haven`t you been flying Cliffs for a while? You were comander of JG26, right?
ZQuickSilverZ Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 And no IL2's that I know of have a real functioning ground game... I did not say they had them... I said they are working on them. I honestly have not really been keeping up with it. The information I gave was based off of a video I saw of a truck following a road that was supposedly player controlled. It was nothing fancy, just a cargo truck. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons.

Does IL2 (the new versions) not satisfy your want for WWII? Combined arms 1942 might do World War II better. the ultimate question in my view is how hard would it be- is it a case of designing a new interface and adding period equipment or something more? Frankly I'd love to see them set it up so can have the whole WWII cold war eras.
Teapot Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 <snip> Does IL2 (the new versions) not satisfy your want for WWII? No. :music_whistling: I'd like to see the whole shebang in DCS. Honestly, after flying in DCS ... I just couldn't stomach flying WWII with any other sim ... unless of course DCS started doing X-Plane WWII modules. "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft." Wishlist Terrains - Bigger maps Wishlist Modules - A variety of utility aircraft to better reflect the support role. E.g. Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking!

My personal thoughts on the matter is that I'd rather see other things developed first (bombers, for instance).

Hans-Joachim Marseille Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) "T-34 vs. Tiger" is an immensely enjoyable game. If a 3rd party could incorporate such a game into DCS: WW2, that would be a real pleasure! I would want to command a Tiger II then ... visited this beast of war yesterday in La Gleize (Belgium). Edited September 7, 2014 by Hans-Joachim Marseille
NeilWillis Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Of course you'd want a Tiger II. But you'd only be allowed 1 for every 30 T34s of course, and I'd take a JS3 - just for balance, naturally!

But you'd only be allowed 1 for every 30 T34s of course, and I'd take a JS3 - just for balance, naturally! Not really, 800 litres for 100 km through rough terrain is hardly fuel efficient. The guy at the museum told me they didn't run well on American fuel ... it couldn't run uphill on that fuel lol. So much for capturing Allied fuel depots as a strategic source of refueling during the battle of the Bulge. Though it could really pack a punch and was virtually indistructable from the front, this one was damaged after facing 15 Shermans with it's sister tank. The barrel was severed by their fire.

Flycat Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 I still remember they said we had decided cancel the 1.2.9 patch,and next patch is 1.3.0 with DCS 2.LOL the Moderator on the forum isn't the employee of ED company,they didn't really know the plan of ED. So we should be skeptical of what they told about. LOOOOOOOL

So we should be skeptical of what they told about. LOOOOOOOL It's been my experience that a plan is something to deviate from. Unforeseen circumstances have a tendency to require changes to any plan and to blindly stick to a faulty plan is just plain ignorant. It's interesting watching the progression of the next big release. Back to the topic: I'd like to see combined arms developed for WWII. It seems like a natural development alongside the aircraft and maps being developed and hopefully we can have warships and other naval assets as well. As for tanks, I prefer the Sd.Kfz. 171 Panther. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
