The poll was a loaded question to begin with.

 

WOULD YOU LIKE A NEW AIRCRAFT FOR DCS?

 

Very, very few people would say no to additional content.

Because a poll is going to distract Devs? You(anti-poll-posters) are also talking about a poll that was setup LAST YEAR April. None of what you are saying about the F14, F4U or Viggen existed as far as we knew and it was a good time to ask; hey, whats next? we'd love to see some parity in DCS and you did an amazing job with the mig.

more like, "lets distract the DEVs from finishing current work with a poll for aircraft that possibly impossible to develop"

 

I wouldn't go that far.

 

With F-14, AJS-37, and F4U-1 in their advanced states and with other aircraft they've developed, LNS isn't getting distracted by these polls.

 

Their plate is full and if someone doesn't like what's on offer? That's unfortunate.

Apart from the E/J/G variants i mentioned in this thread.I would like to see the RF-4 Phantoms too.I think it would be fun to dodge SAMs while taking pictures of potential targets.I would love ED to create different kinds of roles for aircraft like Reconnaissance and Electronic-Warfare planes among others.

Just saw this on the video/photo thread

What you can do with a Phantom, see 30:24 ff

 

 

The Phantom can also fly sideways :=)

 

This seems interesting, section 4

I know I posted this before, but it is still funny.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

I can't breathe! I always got a kick out of that interview! What an awesome mod!

I'd LOVE to get the F4 Phantom but honestly, I prefer flying alone ie a single seat fighter rather than a dual. I would've preferred we vote for an F105 Thunderchief or something - yeah I know its not exactly a fighter but it'll carry a mean bomb load (plus do SEAD work).

 

Just the logistics of trying to get someone to fly backseat...unless it can be done with an AI that will call out radar locks, etc...then I'll definitely be interested.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a F-4E with modified wing. Or a F-111E/F, but I doubt that such complicated aircraft, that needed two people to employ all system, will ever work. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I think any combat multi crew aircraft (i.e. F-4, F-14. F-15E, F-111, A-6, etc.) will leave people feeling like Star Wars episode 1 to 3, meaning you don't know any better and like them, lie and say you like them or honestly hate them. :D

Depends on what kind of friends you've got. I've got two guys in my clan with no interest in flying planes, but they said they'd love to fly as a backseater.

Not about the your squad mates, not about people you know, the question will it work? Several other games tried this and between lag and other problems it never works (From my experience) I posted this on the F-15 thread;

we will see I guess.

I can understand the concern, however I've had very different experiences in ArmA and PR than what it seems you had, so I don't view it with as much skepticism I suppose.

I hope ED will improve AI to where SP players like me can work in multicrew planes & helos and have a smarter AI that can interact with you like what LN is doing with the F-14 RIO.

Been in love with this bird for longer than I can remember. So yes I would be ecstatic if it would be a dcs module.

 

Patience is no problem here :)

I'd like them, although if what I've been reading is correct in most of the combat accounts in vietnam that most firings of the AIM4 and some of the AIM9 were failures.

 

IIRC, Col Robin Olds, in the book "Fighter Pilot", talks about how useless the AIM-4 (Gar-1 to 4) was. Also, starting at 9:50

Steve Ritchie mentions that only 11 of every 100 AIM-7 worked.

F4 is a good ideal , but I love Mig23 more XD

But Mig23 does not make a good Mig21 rival ;)

Mig-21 eats the F-4 PII alive. In fact, any aircraft can eat the F-4 alive.

 

Wanna cool aircraft? Like really cool? F-14 TOMCAT.

 

They should focus development on that! Anything else is secondary :pilotfly:

While I do agree with wedge about focusing on the F-14, the F-4 is just as iconic, and for me, the earlier the plane the better, I much prefer being the under dog, so that when I win it feels like more of an accomplishment... I will never understand how people don't get bored of using aim-120s, not that the F-14 can use them.

 

earlier to a point... anything that can IFF is basically it... if there was an F-104 that'd be better...

 

I think the F-4 needs the mig-19 for a roughly equal competitor, or maybe an EE lightning.

F-4, Tornado and F-14 being some of my favourite airplanes, I don't like two seaters in simulation. I see the dual crew stuff in DCS very situational, and handling everything just one person is unrealistic.

 

Still plenty of possibilites: F/A-18, Mirage III, MiG-23, (Super) Étendard, F-16, even realistic versions of F-15, Su-27 or MiG-29...

 

That being said, I know that many two seaters would be very successful sellers.
