TonyStovepipe Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hello all. I already have the A-10c and I am after something else I can jump on when I need a change. I was 99% sure on getting combined arms to use it with the A-10c on missions so I can control the ground troops and also shoot stuff myself. But I am still unsure as read bad comments about it needs updating a lot to get some stuff working. So my other option that I like the look of is the F-15c as it looks like fun to fly :) So CA vs F-15 what do you think is best addon to get right now? Thanks for any advice. Cheers.

Lizzard Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 IMHO it depends on what you want to do. CA and F-15C are complete different "Games"..so do you want to bring some life to the Battlefield go for CA..if you want to fly a Jet as realistic as it can be nowadays (FM-wise) go for the F-15. So you question is a bit like "what to buy..a banana or a football?" My Specs: I don`t care..it is a Computer..a black one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I would more reccomend that you go buy the F-15 because it is more supported and much less buggy. DCS: F-4E really needs to be a thing!!!!!!

Ktulu2 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 FC3 is the best (you'll get the f-15 + the su-27 standalones (su-27 should be coming soon enough)). But F-15 if you don't want russian planes. CA isn't that usefull, as map makers are using big distances to separate teams, so you'll be spending your time driving/waiting for an aircraft to pass by.

Buy the football, you can do fun things with the banana but the football will last longer and you'll gain more friends, hell you're more likely to make more enemies than friends using a banana against others.

Why spend $25 to get the F-15C, and then probably spend $15-25 for the Su-27 or some other plane if you want them? Just get FC3 as you'll get a bunch of planes.

TonyStovepipe Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Thanks all. So I think everyone so far says f-15/fc3 :) I know what your saying about them being completely different, my decision was mostly based on what is more playable,useable and supported product. I love the the idea of CA but if you can't do much at this time then no point buying it just yet? And I am still learning the A-10c basic stuff but would use FC3 when I need a break some times :) I am leaning more to Fc3 at this point :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiJack Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yes, go for fc3, they are all great planes. :) Fly them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkr Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Flaming Cliffs 3 way better value I bought it an love having all 7 planes to pick my battles with their all cool, there's always little bugs in all code, just ignore the complaining droves, you won't regret it if you love sims. Buying individual planes makes no sense at the price an for later. FC3 best choice!

baltic_dragon Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Speaking about F15 - what is the difference (or: what is it lacking) in terms of realism / flight model when compared to A10C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayc00lio Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I got CA when it came out. Never even opened the game to have a look at it. Couldn't tell you any more about it than you get to drive and shoot from ground things. Get the damn jet!

JunMcKill Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) The difference is that F-15C have a standard system model, and in A-10C you have an advanced systems model!!, not only that things are clickable, but they do what are intended to. Both flight models are equal, PFM (professional flight model), but the gap in realism between the A-10C and F-15C in the MFD functions, weapons settings, etc, is huge!.
