Grim_Smiles Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 it is either a varient of the F-4 that the marines never flew like the F-4E, or the F-14 The next project isn't an F-4, people really need to let it go already. Cobra's statement below also likely eliminates an F-14 as well since the RIO is the same issue that eliminated the F-4 as the next project. We love the F-4E. Really, who doesn't? However, I think it goes without any saying how difficult building an aircraft such as the F-4 really is. Not only is it an incredibly complex aircraft, but just the additional gameplay considerations that have to be accounted for as well: like building an AI RIO for you when you're flying Solo. Right now we have already partially transitioned into our next project. Some of you will be pleased, some of you will be very disappointed and some of you will, without a doubt, want our heads on a pike. In many ways, creation of FS aircraft is comparable to art. If we were driven by market demand alone, the F-4 would probably be at the top of our list. However, it is important for us to follow our passion, vision and if we are to invest thousands upon thousands of man hours into building DCS aircraft, we need to do something we genuinely care about. It is the only way to ensure that everyone really wins. Cobra said next plane is something close to their name Letherneck(if i understood correctly) and what i found after a fast search was this: "Grumman F6F Hellcats drawn from U.S. reserves were used extensively in Flying Leathernecks." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Leathernecks :/ Also a drawing of a Hellcat on the leathernecks title page. Except Cobra already said it isn't one flown by USMC and Hellcats were flown by USMC pilots in WWII. So our guesses of F-5, Harrier and Hellcat are wrong.

SDsc0rch Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 its frustrating because he said their next aircraft was "closely related to their studio name" (leatherneck - a nickname for the USMC - ) - but then (somewhere - source?) people are saying they've said it WAS NOT flown by marines.... *sound of record scratching #RiddleMeThisBatman i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

That was the post where Cobra corrected himself, saying that it was not flown by the USMC. Also; I managed to bork the "marine" part of our next project, it was actually not flown by the USMC. It is an aircraft you'd expect to have been; but wasn't. ;) It may or may not have two engines.

SDsc0rch Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) ah! thx john looked around - found this thk u for clearing that up for me.. -- so, its an aircraft he (mistakenly) thought the USMC flew - but didn't --- you'd think it was flown by the USMC though.. hmm i'm thinking short-range, smaller, A-G capable.. they seem to like jets, but not current-day modern -- 3rd generation/vietnam or thereabouts..

WolfK33 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I´m not very sure, but funny enough I watched Top Gun this evening on german TV, and Jester has a blue helmet with gold stars, although it seems a bit different... Yes, he knows how to play his puppets, lol Edited October 25, 2014 by WolfK33
Random Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Provided their next module is as good as the Mig21 I'll be happy! Personally I'd like a suitable opponent to the Mig but which one? F4 would be great but as stated it's not gonna happen yet...

Yes, he knows how to play his puppets, lol LOL,maybe we can played F-14 of IRIAF vs MiG-21 of IRAF in the future. thank you buddy.
Flycat Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 well,he used photoshop make two helmet of jester in one pic. funny that,two part of helmet is a little different on the color. LOL
Morgue Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 well,he used photoshop make two helmet of jester in one pic. funny that,two part of helmet is a little different on the color. LOL ...what? It's a reflection
WinterH Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Skyhawk was the mainstay of Marines, if we are talking about an aircraft that wasn't flown by Marines, may be it's an A-7 ? :) Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
TurboHog Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I really think it is the F-105. - Air force only, no marines - may or may not have two engines depending on how you look at it (two inlets, one engine. If you don't know you might think it has two engines when standing in front of it) - apparently flew in a grim reaper livery 'Frett'
King_Hrothgar Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It could be an attack plane. The A-1, A-7 and especially the A-37 are all very USMC-ish and yet weren't flown by them as far as I know.
