Why is there such a big Viggen hype? Has LN announced its development?

 

They have not, but it is one of very few aircraft that fits most if not all the hints given earlier this year, that is not still classified in some way. Also, about halv of leathernecks development team is swedish, so they might have some personal interest in finally getting a full DCS level sim of a SAAB aircraft out there. :-) (and being a swede myself, i would love it if that was the case! :joystick: )

Don't get me wrong if you love the aircraft no arguing with your opinion. My un-knowledgeable mind about the Viggen tells me that it did not have a "Ground Mapping and Targeting Radar" more than a radar that could scan the ground for navigational cues.

Gotta catch them all bandits! :joystick:

No, just some wishful thinking... partly based on some clues that are more or less confirmed.

 

I don't think there is much reasonable doubt that it's a Viggen. I'm not overly excited about DCS: Viggen, it's a low priority aircraft to me. But it is the only plane thought of so far that fits all the clues and seems reasonable given the development window.

If one module has to be a jet, I would love some European hardware for a change this time of year (3rd gen ideally). Saab always represented beauty and the beast for me... Draken being the beauty here naturally.

 

However beast Viggen would do as well... I swear the first thing I would try to learn would be parking on reverser like a baws! :D

The Viggen did have ground mapping radar and I'm pretty sure than targeting as well. It's avionics were considered quite impressive for the 1970s.

 

Also, here is a summary of the reasons that there is so much Viggen talk around these parts:

It's the only aircraft proposed by forum members that fits all of the clues and does not have parameters that exclude it: 2-place aircraft (ie, Tornado - Jester AI is supposed to be first released with the Tomcat), module under consideration by other Developers (ie, Harrier), development would earn you prison time in Russia for espionage (ie, Su-34)...

I wish I could believe you Sith, but you already told us to the contrary. :D

 

Of course that post has been deleted (part of the "I want to Believe" thread)...I bet many politicians wish they could do the same. :music_whistling:

Don't worry, I wouldn't have harassed much more. :)

 

Occasional comments about how cool their upcoming stuff is would suffice. ;)

I would actually be really excited about a Storch. Yes, I AM that type of geek.

I would prefer a Lysander myself. Neither fit many of the clues though.

How do you figure that? Simply announce what model will be released next. Including spell checking that can't take more that 2 minutes for the tl:dr version.

As has been stated several times by the devs, they have no interest in this, they want to do a proper announcement with working videos, PR material and the lot of it. They want to be ready to deliver a product quickly after announcing it and they want it to be good.

 

The way the F-14 was announced was a one-off, and should not be expected to be the way things work.

 

What would be best was just to lock down or ban these pointless speculation threads (really just even more pointless wishlist threads anyway) and just let LN finish their work in peace without soon 3000 posts of people doing "speculation" that gets nowhere
