MiloMorai Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 otto you are already psyched out by the mighty Spitfire. ;)
nervousenergy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 If any plane will sell Warthog extensions, it'll be the Spit. I'm already thinking about replacing my 8cm extension with a 12. Or just get a 1:1 column replica from Spitsim... but then my wife would kill me before the 109's could. A Hispano armed Spit will definitely push back the turn and firepower advantage the K-4 brings today, but it'll be a right handful to fly. Should be very interesting.

Gunrun_KS Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 A later model 190 would be the only thing on the other side of the fence that would spark some interest for me. As for the British, a Typhoon/Tempest would be lovely. The spit will be very welcome on the blue side, keep the 109/190's on their toes. I'll stay with the mustang though until the thunderbolt arrives.

313_Nevo Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Talking about ACES HIGH, maybe some kind of event will boost a little server population in specific times. Like mentioned ACG CLOD sunday events. Like squad night or something, so all people will know that during this day(s) and hour(s) there will be something going on.
Griffon26 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I think if there going to be more iconic planes implemented the Servers will get fuller and fuller time by time. Of course some advertising is needed too! Maybe offtopic but I need to mention it :D If the He-162 A-2 gets added to DCS (Let me dream pls :cry:), I will take a closer look for the WW2 Era :D Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Never parachute into an area you've just bombed You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.
otto Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) otto you are already psyched out by the mighty Spitfire. ;) I don't know i you read in a previous post about my 5 spitfire mk25 kills with a g14 (from another simulation) .All with energy advantage on me and some of the pilots experienced pilots.Of course this hapens rarely. It all depends on the pilot, i got shot down by spit 9's sometimes because i'm impatient and turn fight them all the time or make a mistake. It's all about the pilot and having fun i don't belive 109 or spitfire is "bestest".I had a lot of fun flying 109 g6 vs spit 9 and the 109 in weaker in every way. Edited February 4, 2015 by otto
The_Pharoah Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 a Typhoon/Tempest would be lovely. +1 for that. I'm also keen on Edge. I'm so over the current map. Its just.....bland. Once we get a dedicated Normandy map complete with time period vehicles/weapons/etc, I reckon you'll get more traffic. I've always thought that it would be great to have a channel-type map (south eastern England, western europe possibly incl Norway, etc) which was always on, there would always be something for even single players (online) to do eg. fighter sweeps, 'rhubarb' missions, bombing missions, strafing missions, escort, etc. And the transit to/from the main AO wouldn't be that long either. Again though...have the correct map and you'll get more traffic because it would truly become a 'proper' WW2 server (not a make believe one based in Georgia).

313_Nevo Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 If I can remember correctly I have done all these things fighter sweeps, 'rhubarb' missions, bombing missions, strafing missions, escort, etc. already on actual map instead of crossing channel of course. My point is that this is not limited by the map, but by the mission setup imho. Of course proper map can bring some immersion to many players, there is no doubt.

Gunrun_KS Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'm sure a new map and a new plane (Spitfire/P47) will definitely put us in a really good spot once DCS releases them. I've been thinking something that would really open up the western theater would be adding some kind of twin engine fighter for each side. The possibility of missions would be endless with just those two planes alone. It would put a lot of emphasis on night fighting and ant-shipping. It would also open up another mission for the fighters having to cover them or intercept. As much as i would love to fly or even escort B17s. I think this would be more bang for your buck and more of an addition to the theater and collection. Any thoughts?

The first 3rd party dev to make a twin engine, multicrew fighter/bomber (or just bomber) will make a lot of sales.
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 key thing is the map.without it there are only very few people who really manage to immerse themselves enough to fly current dcs as a ww2 sim, no matter which ww2 aircraft they release i think.

I would be fine with the units, if I had to wait longer for Normandy, I would be fine with era specific units. I mean its already been established that a few of these planes didnt operate around Normandy, so its not dis-similar to flying them over the current map. I mean there are parts of the current map that Germans did make it to in WWII. Units, era specific comms and such, and I could make great scenarios on the current map, but right now there is just too much to pull you out of the illusion of being in the 40's.

EDIT: also i have to disagree with the " I mean its already been established that a few of these planes didnt operate around Normandy, so its not dis-similar to flying them over the current map." flying over a normandy ww2 1944 map in a k4 is maybe not exactly historical correct.but you cant compare that with flying over a modern day map where you constantly have to look at things like nuclear power stations and the like.

IMHO, If DCS produced an immersive environment, they would command the World War II flight sim market. The biggest competition does not even have the basic physics of the atmosphere correct and is on its way to becoming a console game classic for 12 year olds. Let them compete with Warthunder. Give the adults something to enjoy and spend adult money on. Answers to most important questions ATC can ask that every pilot should memorize: 1. No, I do not have a pen. 2. Indicating 250

They say his cockpit is fitted with a tap........ Chuck Yeager tried to beat his record.......tried He is........The most interesting pilot in the world! I dont always dog fight, but when I do, its to get some fresh air...... Stay frosty my friends 1
