GaryIKILLYOU Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks Cobra for the update as well as all of your team's hard work. You guys are by far my favorite 3rd party developer. I'm really looking forward to Monday! :) My Specs:Win 10 Pro 64bit/ i7 6770K 4.5Ghz/32GB DDR4/ GTX 1070 SC/Samsung SSD Warthog Stick/TWCS Throttle/TrackIR 5
Alicatt Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 New carriers????? Looking at what is behind the team page on their website looks kinda flat toppish... http://www.leatherneck-sim.com/team/ Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
ED Team NineLine Posted March 1, 2015 ED Team Posted March 1, 2015 I just hope you don't get bogged down for 4+ years on a map for 1 plane like ED did. ED has spent most of this time on building EDGE/graphics engine, not NTTR. So I dont think it takes 4 years to build a map by anyone...

ESA_maligno Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks Alicatt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had not seen !!!!!!!
gunterlund21 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The real question is, how did they solve the two-seater problem? Isnt two seater a DCS world issue? I think Eagle has to set the standards for this first? I was in Art of the Kill D#@ it!!!!
Flagrum Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Looking at what is behind the team page on their website looks kinda flat toppish... http://www.leatherneck-sim.com/team/ Hrm ... USS Yorktown (CV-5)? Edited March 1, 2015 by Flagrum
Zilch Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Of course! Such a ship would make far more sense to operate your F6F's or F4U's from than the Carl Vinson. I'm hoping for the Enterprise! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:
Jester Darrak Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 At the moment the background image is of a P-38 Lightning. My guess is a Pacific/Midway Theater considering the Facebook picture of the rising sun flag and a possible A6M. And the Tomcat might as well get a Lybia Theater as it was their first place to down MiGs and become the legends they are now.
javelina1 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 oh man, this would be awesome! http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/Alicatt_photos/Aircraft/Team_Background6recht_zpse105mdfk.jpg MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control
emg Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I guess that by the time the F-14 will be out the multi seat problem will already be solved in EDGE. Might also be why Belsimtek is creating the Hind. They need to make an AI RIO anyway, so they don't really need multi-seat multiplayer to release the F-14.
Akatsuki Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Alright, rubbing my crystal ball again... F4U and A6M for 2015. F-14 for 2016. As for the theaters i see lots of water around a small island in the Pacific...
VincentLaw Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Looking at what is behind the team page on their website looks kinda flat toppish... Definitely a Yorktown class. Launching from the hangar deck catapult would be cool. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vampyre Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 At the moment the background image is of a P-38 Lightning. My guess is a Pacific/Midway Theater considering the Facebook picture of the rising sun flag and a possible A6M. And the Tomcat might as well get a Lybia Theater as it was their first place to down MiGs and become the legends they are now. My thoughts are for a possible Solomon's or Philippine sea/Leyte Gulf map. We have seen the Corsair Cockpit, the pic on the website that looks like CV-6. Putting those two clues together suggests a post Midway scenario as the Corsair was not used in Midway. Cobra, I take it one of the new features you will be working on will be the implementation of Torpedoes as viable anti ship weapons? The Midway scenario would be interesting as well as there were new types being used for the first time in that battle. I would love to have a TBM Avenger or B-26 Marauder. Not really looking forward to the Devastator though... Torpedo 8 anyone? Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
Slipp Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Alright, rubbing my crystal ball again... F4U and A6M for 2015. F-14 for 2016. As for the theaters i see lots of water around a small island in the Pacific... Nah, F-14 is 2015. Otherwise they wouldn't be teasing with it so much.
Belgeode Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (Holds breath excitedly).... Passes out from the hype... Can I kick the tires and light the fires yet? Is it Monday yet? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
MBot Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Here is my crystal ball reading considering the latest hints. I think one of the releases this year will be the F4U with a carrier and a small pacific island map, such as Tarawa. If the 3rd aircraft is a Japanese fighter, then the second small map could be Iwo Jima. Both theaters are supposed to be significantly different from each other: Tarawa would be a tropical atoll, Iwo Jima is a volcanic island. The Tomcat I assume will come 2016. What throws me a little off is the mentioned air-ground radar. The F-14D has one, but I would be very surprised if the get this Tomcat variant. Otherwise the 3rd aircraft has to be something more modern than a Japanese WWII fighter.

SDsc0rch Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 if they make american WWII fighters and an american carrier(s?) and they're hinting at japanese a/c to counter the US aircraft.. doesn't that mean that (at lease "eventually") there is going to have to be a japanese aircraft carrier?? i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

xxJohnxx Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Alright, rubbing my crystal ball again... F4U and A6M for 2015. F-14 for 2016. As for the theaters i see lots of water around a small island in the Pacific... Don't really expect two prop aircraft to be released. I rather assume it would be two modern birds (one of them being the F-14) and one prop. I could imagine that the F-14 and the prop are released 2015 and the other bird maybe next year. But I guess, soon enough we will know more! :joystick: Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled
Bullfrog_ Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 if doesn't that mean that (at lease "eventually") there is going to have to be a japanese aircraft carrier?? With the P-40F and F-4F coming this year, I do hope we get a Japanese fighter as well. I'd love the Hayabusa. 1
Sleksa Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 What throws me a little off is the mentioned air-ground radar. The F-14D has one, but I would be very surprised if the get this Tomcat variant. Otherwise the 3rd aircraft has to be something more modern than a Japanese WWII fighter. Wasn't the tomcat also able to use the lantrin pods which had some kind of a ground mapping radar?
