UH-1B sometime in the future?

[-MadCat-]

DCS never was to provide a complete and coherent war scenario, Wags said that himself.

Hence it's futile to complain about modules that "don't fit together" all too well.

The "Spitfire in the middle of Strelas" is a problem introduced by the mission builders alone, not by ED.

 

 

But to comment, why I voted "No":

We need more different airframes instead of variants of already existing ones.

Another variant of the UH-1 can in no way whatsoever bring as much enrichment to DCS as a totally new airframe would.

 

My 2 cents.

I would prefer a 212/UH-1N ..... better lifting capacity and faster .

BAMM! Exactly what i think!

212 would be really nice.. (and then a 214 :D )

Dear badger66, this is not true. The 212 has a lot of equipment that add a lot of weight (radar, sonar, torpedo (all of witch are pretty heavy)) and has almost no lift capability apart from this. But anyway, WE NEED ASW HELICOPTER!!!!

So following that, ne need for a Su-25T after the old Su-25, no need a DCS A-10Ca after the Lock On basic A-10, then a FC3 A-10A ( so three variants of the same model )

 

Guys are also working a new version of the F-15 etc etc ...

 

If you're into the Huey thing as some are in their F-15 Eagle etc , you would easily agree for any other variants of the Huey, and the Bravo model is the closest

For what?

Not to derail the topic any further, but your paragraph about variants isn't a fair counterpoint to what some of us are saying.

 

The other versions of the A-10 do not have the full capabilities (AFM/Clickable cockpit, systems etc) that the DCS:A-10C model has. They were a progression in terms of detail upwards.

 

If this topic was about a wish for a DCS level Huey B and we currently only had a FC3 level model, I'd be all for it, but it's not.

 

Same goes for the multiple F15 projects. We don't currently have a DCS level product, and it just so happens mulitple teams are doing them independantly of each other.

 

I can fully understand the enthusiasts requests for variants of the current UH-1H model, I really can, I just feel with DCS not being a mature product (we've only got two 3rd party modules thus far, all from one company), the overall health and growth of the platform would be better served by different airframes rather than variants.

 

Especially when you consider people like IRIS are currently focusing on FSX due to it being the bigger platform.

 

Bigger platform = more potential customers = more interest in actually developing products as you're more likely to make money on them, which in turn later on, leads to more variants for the enthusiasts :)

[Hueyman]

Yeah I have to agree

[scrtagnt69]

I personally would love to see a UH-1B but my fear is many would find something to complain about in the end due to the loss of horsepower and load capacity( it's too slow..I can only carry 7 troops..etc..Boo Hoo )

 

UH-1B-960 hp T53-L-5 engine vs UH-1H 1400 hp T53-L-13 engine

 

The product that ED/BST has produced and delivered has exceeded far beyond my expectations (despite some features initially said to be included haven't been) Everyday I see at least 1 post of somebody whining bitching and moaning about something ..Get over it and be thankful for what you have been given. The best UH-1 sim to date that is constantly evolving to an unprecedented new level that is setting the standard for rotorcraft simming.

[McBlemmen]

Wow , surprising amount of no's oO

 

Not that it bothers me , i voted dont care. I love DCS huey a lot , like seriously A LOT. Its probably my favorite module , but i think another huey variant would be too "samey".

 

But to be fair i'd probably still buy it xD

[hansangb]

My feelings exactly. I would rather see AH-1 Cobra module before other variants.

[BIGNEWY]

I know I have said it many threads, my personal preference is for the early variants of any aircraft, that's what I like.

:)

 

edit

 

damn you hitman, now I am hungry :P

[hansangb]

I'd buy that too! I figure these dev's need the support! :)
