Krieg Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Wait, what? I just don't follow. In my opinion it would make sense for LN to create an opponent for the Mig-21, so it won't have to go up against the myriad of aircraft you just mentioned. But instead creating a good setting for a campaign/era (A new map, probably Gotland, with perhaps (hopefully as to avoid airborne starts) a bit of east coast Sweden and a bit of west coast Estonia/USSR.) The F-14 is a contemporary (even if superior) to the Mig-21Bis and the AJ-37. Don't worry, more Russian craft will come with all certainty. If you believe a certain one is coming, start a happy thread, professing your love and why it should and could be it! The DCS Viggen hasn't been confirmed and there is no need to get sad over piecemeal launches in this thread.

Krieg Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 A Mig-25 would be awesome as a future DCS level module. It would need it's proper opponents/targets to shine though, meaning little capability in multiplayer without specific scenarios around bombers/recon aircraft. An interesting option would be a Mig-25RB, with recon/strike missions and high-speed dashes into enemy territory.
WinterH Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I suppose I just don't like the piecemeal way we are going towards a good plane set for campaigns/eras. The only 3Rd generation DCS level aircraft we have currently is the Mig21/F5E... What do we have against the F14, F18, Mirage 2000... Nothing only FC3 level Mig 29 and Su27... :( I recall you were championing for a MiG-23 in next aircraft speculation thread am I right? :) If so, may I ask just how different would it be? MiG-23 is a 3rd gen fighter, and not even a particularly hot one among other 3rd gens (aside from speed and acceleration). MiG-23, even MLD, vs F-14, F-15, F-18 and Mirage 2000 would only be somewhat different than same scenario inside a MiG-21Bis. Besides, 3rd gen fighters are a pretty darn hot period for combat aviation, more in DCS the merrier, and Viggen is one of the most interesting 3rd gen fighters in my opinion. I would love 4th gen Russian fighters but doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. But why not a more complete DCS : 3rd Gen era meanwhile ? 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
AG-51_Razor Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 ........... the F18C has been in development for ages, and seems to be nearing completion (Eagle Dynamics). Just curious, where are you getting your information about the F/A-18C?? I have not been able to find a single thing in these forums about it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

BravoYankee4 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 This forum never stops amaze me. First, we have speculation thread that was mutated into a Viggen wish list. Then a separate Viggen dedicated thread is created and it instantly gets flooded with other aircrafts wish lists :music_whistling:

BravoYankee4 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Ahhh... frustration is high. I need to know if I should stick with Mig-21 or not for my coming cockpit build. However, if I decide for another aircraft those plans will not go far without DCS-BIOS support anyway... but still. I need to know :pilotfly:
BravoYankee4 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Well, that is fine for me as well. Even a Lansen would be fun. Going 1 vs 1 with a Mig-15 in a Tunnan would be awesome. Or maybe a J-21R... Or a DC-3 so the russian pilots have something to shoot at without being downed by later gen US fighters...:music_whistling:
Vectury Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I would love to see the Mig-25PD and the Mig-25BM. Maybe the latter is the most interesting one since the Mig-25's air-to-air/dogfighting capabilities are rather limited. I see it performing well in a high speed penetration of the enemy's airspace, while destroying SAM sites and ground radar stations before others can intercept it.

Vectury Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Tbh, the upcoming Mirage 2000C is somewhat multirole (as in, AA and AG capable, though its AG capabilities will be a tad bit limited) It's not a real multirole. In that case the MiG-21 would be multirole as well. Agree. The Mirage 2000C's role was mainly as a fighter/interceptor. The 2000D is more focused on air-to-ground. I would perhaps call the D as more multirole capable than the 2000C. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Bacab Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Agree. The Mirage 2000C's role was mainly as a fighter/interceptor. The 2000D is more focused on air-to-ground. I would perhaps call the D as more multirole capable than the 2000C. Correct me if I'm wrong. Neither the D or the C are true multirole. Eventually the C was used for AG duty whereas the D never was used for AA missions due to its nearly blind radar.
Manuel_108 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Here's an idea: Why don't we just wait it out?
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Definitively needs an Ikea skin. Gold!!!! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Mayo2017 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Oh boy, I log in to see a thread titled "DCS Viggen", get super excited, and it's just the exact same stuff that's been repeated 1500 times in the wishlist thread. Awesome. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vampyre Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Oh boy, I log in to see a thread titled "DCS Viggen", get super excited, and it's just the exact same stuff that's been repeated 1500 times in the wishlist thread. Awesome. Same here, the title should probably be changed to something a little more appropriate... like "Just another wishful thinking thread". 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!"

Krieg Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Great, now they're never going to announce DCS Viggen, in fear of breaking the internet we so badly need.
