Greekbull Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Man signed on and saw DCS Viggen under the LNS thread and thought it was an announcement! Common not cool! Please change the title of the thread so others will be saved the extreme disappointment thinking they are opening the LNS section to see a real announcement... 1 AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | ASUS Crosshair Hero X670E | 64GB G Skill Trident Z DDR5 6000 | Nvidia RTX 4090 FE| Samsung EVO Plus 6 TB M.2 PCIe SSDs | TM Hornet Stick/WinWing Hornet Throttle and MIP | VPC T-50 Stick Base | TM TPR Rudder Pedals W/Damper | Varjo Aero/Pimax Crystal VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet Carrier Strike Group One(CSG-1) Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNeves Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I seriously hope that this aircraft is not one of the two still unannounced ones.... Becaise if it is, of the 3 aircrafts to be releassed by LNS, it will join the F14 on my "not to buy list" And BTW, do we really need a thread like this?? :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Your eyes only see what your mind is ready to comprehend" ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - Intel I7-6700K - 16GB DDR4 @ 2400MHz HyperX Savage - Strix GTX 960 DC II 2GB OC Edition - Seagate 1TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaflight Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So, to get away from the useless speculations about other aircraft: what kind of loadouts could we expect for eg. the AJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion213 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 You guys just broke the forums! Broke the forums? The forum seems fine. The hearts and will of the users...well that's a different story. :( -Nick ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieg Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Options top to bottom: -16 x 120 kg bombs + droptank, OR 16 x flarebombs + droptank -3 x Rb 04 ASM. This was a transport mode, since the one fitted to the central pylon couldn't be fired. (Could also have been a planned option) -1 Rb 04 in transport mode + ECM and flare/chaff pod -2 Rb 04 + droptank -2 Rb 75 Maverick on wingpylons -2 Rb 75 on inner pylons -2 Rb 05 AGM, rough equivalent of AGM-12 Bullpup + Countermeasures -2 Rb 05, CMs, droptank -2 Rb 05, 2 gunpods, droptank -2 Rb 05, gunpods -2 Rb 05 -2 6x135mm rocket pods, CMs -2 rocketpods, droptank -4 rocketpods -2 gunpods -2 gunpods, droptank -2 Rb24/Rb24J Sidewinders, droptank -2 sidewinders, 2 gunpods -2 sidewinders Computerpower and wiring are the biggest limiters regarding number of weapons carried at one time. More could be hung of course, but it couldn't be fired. There has also been some surprise at forums over some of these options as some of them simply weren't used. (mounting on different pylons for no apparant reason) The droptank was used as often as possible (always during peace) and was really considered an extra tank, only to be dropped in emergencies.

Skjold Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 To summarise, three planes that do fit the hints that are modern and that is NOT the Viggen are the Panavia Tornado, the Harrier of various configurations and the Yak-38. And that the bvelieved propeller plane are likely to be F4U Corsair or F4F Wildcat with Wildcat not being very likely as of now due to it being made by VEAO? I would love a Tornado in DCS, so kewl!

Skjold Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I would love a Foxbat, but i dont see it being made anytime soon due to it being such a one-trick pony, essentially only one type of missile on it from what i understand. R-40 and no gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Hrothgar Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The standard PD model uses R-40R, R-40T and R-60 (max 4, outer pylon pair). It is a one trick pony of course, but speed is a really good trick. For comparison, F-15C in DCS is also a one trick pony (spamraam and run away) and yet it's the most popular FC3 fighter by a wide margin in MP. In any case, my opinion on the matter is unchanged from nearly a year ago when I last posted in this thread. The MiG-25PD is still #1 on my fixed wing eastern block wishlist. #2 is a MiG-23MLA+MLD pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skjold Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That thing cant dogfight. What a prey in MP. Well its not really a prey if you're flying Mach 2.5 at altitude. If you fly it right you would be very hard to kill, but would also be really hard to kill anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartuil Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I guess max Glimit for it is 5G right? So u use your speed to shoot BVR and fly away. i7 2600k -- Noctua NH-D14--Asrock Z75 Pro3--ASUS GTX970 Strix --16Go Ripjaws X 1333--Thermaltake Smart M650--CoolerMaster Silencio 652S--AOC E2752VQ-- Sandisk Extreme II 480GB--Saitek X-52 Pro --SAITEK PZ35 Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Hrothgar Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It wouldn't have to be BVR, you could run down an F-15C from behind, send an R-60 up his tailpipe and fly away in near complete safety regardless of if your missile hits or not. Think Me-262 vs P-51D or F4U vs A6M. Flown properly, the MiG-25PD should be borderline invincible compared to the F-15C and Su-27. The trade off is it's very difficult to get into a good firing position. I can't think of a more interesting fighter to fly in MP against other humans in DCS tbh. It would be totally unlike the FC3 fighters and MiG-21Bis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirak Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Um... if you're blitzing him at Mach 2.5, all he needs to do is turn towards you and fire an AMRAAM. You'll never get into position for a heater shot, speed was a fantastic trick in an age before missiles, but now... well if you're coming at me at Mach 2.5 you're just increasing the closure rate for my missiles.

QuiGon Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 If he sneaks up on you from behind with no music for a Fox 2 shot you probably won't notice him. The problem here is of course, that he needs to find you first which is difficult without using the radar. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
