BSS_Sniper Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 There also needs to be a S3 Viking, because one of my squad mates flew one, an A6 Intruder and A7 Corsair. I9 9900k @ 5ghz water cooled, 32gb ram, GTX 2080ti, 1tb M.2, 2tb hdd, 1000 watt psu TrackIR 5, TM Warthog Stick and Throttle, CH Pedals
Python Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 There also needs to be a S3 Viking I'd like to see that, I have Henry Hoover standing by to record the sounds.. South Korea may be giving them a new lease of life soon also which would be nice to see. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
McBlemmen Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 There also needs to be a S3 Viking, because one of my squad mates flew one. what kind of logic is that?
Dudikoff Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 S3 Viking? Would there be a big difference between flying it in DCS and in Flight Simulator (at least for the time being)? ;) i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!
frasberry Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I would kill for an A-6 or a F-4 Phantom 2 in DCS!
fable2omg Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I know this thread is old but, People want the MiG-21's rival? I think they're up for a disappointment, unless they mean a F-4 version that never fought against the MiG-21, because I'm pretty sure the MiG-21bis from the 80's (Which I think is the one simulated) will outclass an F-4 from the 60's in every flight characteristics.. I think the F-14A is a better competitor. We should all know in this forum that we never have to use the radar on the Mig, the R-13M1 has almost the same range and efficiency as the R-3R, and the R-60M wrecks everything, so a F-14A, unable to track a low flying MiG-21bis, with AIM-9Ls, versus a MiG-21bis aided by an EWR, is a more fair fight in my opinion, which is why I think Leatherneck Simulations did a good choice by developing the F-14 instead.
J7G Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 While I think you're right in one sense- that most people when they think MiG21 v F4 it's with the Vietnam War in mind- I would argue that the -21bis, being that she entered service in 1972/3 is a natural contemporary enemy of the F-4E up until the late 70s when the Eagle et al where fully in service. I say this with a hypothetical Euro war in mind but you could also extend it out to the various Israel/Arab states conflicts from the mid-70s through to maybe the early 90s I'd say. All that said calling something a "rival" as if it was the only one is a bit of a simplification. After all, the MiG21bis was mostly used for point interceptions, specifically bombers as I understood it, the F4E for ground attack and Weasel, for the most part.
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 If you wanted an actual contemporary for the MiG-21bis, the F-5E would be it and not the F-4 of any stripe. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
J7G Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Go on explain it. By contemporary do you actually mean "of similar performance"? Because those are two different things.
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Go on explain it. By contemporary do you actually mean "of similar performance"? Because those are two different things. Similar in role. Both are light fighters built with similar philosophies in mind. Reformers hate him!

RoflSeal Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Similar in role. Both are light fighters built with similar philosophies in mind. Yeah, but contemperory means built/produced/living around the same time. So both F-4 and F-5 are contemperories.
JukeBox_TOM Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 This should had been a teaser trailer for DCS......
Myst Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 If you wanted an actual contemporary for the MiG-21bis, the F-5E would be it and not the F-4 of any stripe. The F-5 is a more accurate contemporary, I'd agree. Honestly though it's proper opposite number is the Mirage III.
J7G Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I feel like I need to mail you guys some dictionaries.
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The F-5 is a more accurate contemporary, I'd agree. Honestly though it's proper opposite number is the Mirage III. Or Draken, as well.

Cool Breeze Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 This should had been a teaser trailer for DCS...... Thanks for that Tom! All this time I've been ok with not having an F-4 in this game to fly. Now I want an F-4 here, almost to the exclusion of some other modules! Thanks for that! Killer video!

JukeBox_TOM Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks for that Tom! All this time I've been ok with not having an F-4 in this game to fly.

And have had a serious draw to buy back in to prepar3d v3 so i could fly the lead sled... but it just desserves to stretch its legs in DCS.
domini99 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'd like to see the F4, BUT: I'd prefer to see the newer/newest phantom. I'm kinda done with old planes that cannot compete with the modern ones.
TomCatMucDe Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 F4 is honnestly ugly. since the question is asked, i dont want it personally :)
Tirak Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 F4 is honnestly ugly. since the question is asked, i dont want it personally :)
scottb613 Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I'm kinda done with old planes that cannot compete with the modern ones. Hah - I'm just the opposite - in MSFS I spend all my time in the 737-200, 727-200, and the MD-80... The Phantom would be high on my list and a good adversary for the Mig-21... Regards, Scott

Frisco1522 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Anyone be interested in an F-8? Back me up on this... Frisco1522
theGozr Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Older Jets are way more fun. :) Bring it in. Fly it like you stole it..
