Slipp Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Whoops! What is the map for Viggen? :music_whistling: Are we still getting them this year?
Brisse Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Who knows. Maybe Leatherneck are just messing with us, employing maskirovka doctrine. Nah, just kidding. I already had strong suspicions of what it was going to be. There's no big surprise here, but that's not to say that there isn't any excitement. Of course I'm friggin excited about these modules! :)
Brisse Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 What is the map for Viggen? :music_whistling: Are we still getting them this year? We don't know, so there might still be some surprise, but I'm going to make a guess, and say it's Gotland or some kind of Baltic map.
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Iwo Jima though? Interesting choice for a map..... Think about where the F4U series saw the most action during the Second World War. :pilotfly: Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
Slipp Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 AJS-37 Viggen. So that means what? Anti-ship, Sidewinders, Mavericks? What else? :D
OnlyforDCS Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Hmmm Ivo Jima. WWII Carrier operations? Stepping stone for LN's F14 carrier operations? Im liking what I hear here. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.
Brisse Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Anti-ship, Sidewinders, Mavericks? What else? BK 90 cluster bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombkapsel_90
Slipp Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Hmmm Ivo Jima. WWII Carrier operations? Stepping stone for LN's F14 carrier operations? Im liking what I hear here. Iwo Jima will also be good for modern scenario! A stand in for Senkaku islands or something. Put PLAAN Su-33's on the repainted Kuznetov mod and US Hornets on Vinson and you have yourself a South East China Sea scenario!

iLOVEwindmills Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 http://www.x-plane.org/home/urf/aviation/text/37viggen.htm Not sure if this is accurate info but it seems like the answer is 'all the things'.
Tello Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Surströmming for everyone ! Merry christmas Leatherneck! I got my money ready [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TomCatMucDe Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 OMG - DCS: F-14 Tomcat for Beta Testing - DCS: Strait of Hormuz Map for Beta Testing - DCS: F/A-18C Hornet for Beta Testing - DCS: AJS-37 Viggen for Beta Testing - DCS: F4U-1 Corsair for Beta Testing - DCS: Iwo Jima Map for Beta Testing.......... ;-) But I don't think it means open beta for us soon. The only new things are the Viggen corsair and the map
Koriel Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Glad the suspense is gone now... By waiting too long LN has deprived itself of the opportunity to have their own announcement. I love the MiG, but I have too many modules already I'm not proficient at that I'll leave these two be for the time being.. Just as the Mirage. I will be getting the F5, but that's more out of sentiment than anything else.
rezn550 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 noooooo...... i always had a small hope that its not the viggen :(
Farlander Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Well, either way im really happy about the choice of aircraft! I think both these aircraft will bring a huge amount of potential to both ground attack and the ww2 scenario (carriers.. oh yea..)
Dahlbeck Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Anyone able to elaborate on that Steamdb site? Where does it extract the info from? How reliable?
StandingCow Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 noooooo...... i always had a small hope that its not the viggen :( I just want a multirole.... guess the wait for the F14 and 18 continues. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo

RaXha Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) AJS-37 Viggen. So that means what? Anti-ship, Sidewinders, Mavericks? What else? :D In short: Rb 04E (Anti ship missile) Rb 15F (Anti ship missile, originaly developed for the Gripen) Rb 05 (AG missile guided by a joystick in the cockpit. The missile could be fired instantly as soon as a target was spoted and automatically steered in front of the aircraft where the pilot could se it and visually guide it towards the target. It had a liquid fuel rocket engine that did not generate much smoke, and had a tracer element increasing it's visibility to the pilot. It's similar to the AGM-12 Bullpup) Rb 75 (Maverick TV guided missile) Raketkapsel m/70 (Rocket pods with 6 13.5cm rockets, up to 4 pods can be carried at once.) Sprängbomb m/61 (120kg conventional bombs) Bombkapsel 90 (cluster bomb) Two external 30mm autocannon pods can be equiped for air to air engagements, as well as Rb 24 missiles (AIM-9 Sidewinder). I'm not sure of the specific version, i know the JA 37 carried the Aim-9L but i'm faily sure the AJS had an older variant, most likely a version of the AIM-9P-3 modified by SAAB designated the Rb 24J) It doesn't have any internal countermeasures, instead it relies on external pods for this functionality just like the MiG-21bis.

Koriel Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Don't know, im not banned yet at least According to the Reddit thread it was posted at first in a seperate thread which was deleted.. If that's true it would be really really petty of whoever had done that.
Farlander Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 There is no surprise anymore.. :( :cry:
TomCatMucDe Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Don't know, im not banned yet at least dont worry about that ;)
