Woogey Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 You must not have seen the picture of the F6F on the Home Page? The guessing was over a long time ago.
King_Hrothgar Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 They also have an F-4, P-38, F4U, F-14, and an IJN flag in various banners and backgrounds. I wouldn't read anything into such things. A background image is a background image, nothing more.

A background image is a background image, nothing more. Why Wouldn't you read into them? It is far more unlikely of LNS to put images on their website of aircraft they are not working on, then the way you explain it. Judging by the Detail of the Mesh they show, the F6F will not be Ai. Think about it logically. If you ran a similar company, would it make any sense to essentially advertise a product that you had no intention of selling? Edit: On what page have you seen an image of a Corsair? I would really like one as well, but have scanned all that can be scanned. I did not see a single image of the F4U. They made a great choice by doing the F6f IMHO. Edited March 2, 2015 by Woogey Add Info
Sporg Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Just a little fun fact: The F6F night fighter version had radar. And it could spot ships. In theory, this could be the "ground radar" plane they are taking about? ;) Edited March 2, 2015 by Sporg System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use

Edit: On what page have you seen an image of a Corsair? I would really like one as well, but have scanned all that can be scanned. I did not see a single image of the F4U. They made a great choice by doing the F6f IMHO. A pic on facebook showed the F4U cockpit almost completely darkened out along with an F-14 outline and IJN flag. In any case, the images on their website predate the MiG-21. They also have more pics floating around in backgrounds and banners than planes they are actively working on. So clearly some really are just pretty background pictures at this time. I should also point out that it is not uncommon to do that. The main DCS website has an AH-64 featured very prominently on it's main banner. ED is doing a number of projects right now but the AH-64 does not appear to be among them. Of course, LNS may very well plan to do all the planes they use as images in their backgrounds. But that's not a bet I'd take. And it does raise the question of why isn't the F-14 among those backgrounds on their website?

I'm sure it was at one point, some of the images have changed recently, I don't remember seeing the carrier on the team page before. Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron

Cowboy10uk Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 All this F-14 talk... broke down and bought the F-14 for Prepar3D.... now I am more than hyped up for Leatherneck's announcement tomorrow. :thumbup: very very tempted myself. If it's a true high fidelity model, will be the perfect training tool for DCS F14 and hopefully will make the time go faster until she arrives.

Kuky Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 ...That just leaves the elephant in the room. The answer is Monday. We will announce one of our new, advanced modules on Monday. Apologies to those of you who have spent half the night up mashing your F5 key, but we need the extra day to facilitate the creation of our announcement materials. For those of you with sharpened pitchforks; there are free sausages in the fridge and I see you've already started a sizeable fire. Just grab a seat until Monday. This totally made me laugh! :lol: now... back to page 2 and start reading the rest of the replies here :) I wish you all good and planeful (derived from fruitful :D) 2015! About that ground radar thing... could it be more modern version of the MiG-29 that has ground radar?

Slipp Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 No idea about Rudels new avatar? Any thoughts? It is a picture of the main character from The Wind Rises. Anime movie that follows the story of the creator of A6M Zero.
Grundar Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 It is a picture of the main character from The Wind Rises. Anime movie that follows the story of the creator of A6M Zero. A zero would be very, very cool to fly with,a long overdue WW2 plane and one that is not frequently modeled.
Slipp Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 So we are talking about Corsair, Tomcat and Zero? But since they're also making appropriate AI units for their modules, it is also possible that Zero will be an AI opponent for the Corsair. (since we've seen Corsair's cockpit and therefore can assume that it's a flyable)

King_Hrothgar Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I'm sure it was at one point, some of the images have changed recently, I don't remember seeing the carrier on the team page before. Possibly, I don't look at their website often. In fact I've only done it to see the background images :P. In any case, for my speculating I prefer to stick with things we know as the basis. They've left far too many hints at an F-14 for the next project to be anything else. They've also said that their next 3 planes will give something for everyone. And finally they mentioned the A2G radar in this most recent update. The something for everyone part is very telling I think. An F-14 + a pair of WW2 planes (especially PTO related) doesn't come anywhere near meeting that requirement. Far too may people want another Russian jet and have no interest in a bunch of WW2 stuff. I think a single WW2 plane is likely, but not two of them.
Manuel_108 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe we'll get 2 WW2 planes and the F-14 next year? Seems like the most probable case.
S-GERAT Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 It is a picture of the main character from The Wind Rises. Anime movie that follows the story of the creator of A6M Zero. So.. if we are going to get the Hellcat and the Zero, and they are talking about a A/G radar mode.. that means we're going to get the f-14 D ?? I can't believe it.. :joystick:
FlyingHighAU Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 an F-14 and a japanese zero would be great. then we can recreate the scenes from The Final Countdown. NkOsXNF_ZoM
Alicatt Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Just been reading through my Tomcat Bye Bye Baby book again, lots of references to how the Lantrin system on the Tomcat was better than the one on the F-15E as it has a bigger display and higher resolution There are quite a few mentions of it in the book, but I liked this one: The Tomcat with LANTIRN is an awesome bomber. It’s actually better than the F-15E' date=' although my Air Force friends will beat me up. Really there’s no comparison. We had that huge screen, and much better resolution. With the Strike Eagle you can put the bomb on the building. With the Tomcat you’re putting the bomb into the third window from the left, from miles away.
