Jumbik Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 If Iam not mistaken the Harrier does not have Tacpack yet. The A-7 does which makes it the best bet for next DCS module. Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc.
Wizard_03 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Want an F-15 with a clickable cockpit. +1 I want one that can sling paveways! DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer:
Vampyre Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 +1 I want one that can sling paveways! A-7 can do that and use HARM, Maverick, Shrike, Walleye and HOBOS as well. Additionally, it would be a great replacement for the Su-25T as they are similar in performance and war load. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

AG-51_Razor Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Would love to see this also, but: Carrier ops = problematic at this time 2 seater = problematic at this time I could not agree more but, given the time most a/c have taken to get out to our desktops, i am confident that the problems with carrier ops will have been solved by then. As much as I would really love to see the Intruder to come out next, the A-7E Corsair II would also be an awesome addition to DCS World 2. Again, this assumes an acceptable multiplayer carrier operations environment. Basically, anything with anhook on it would be accepted with open arms - as well as an open wallett! :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

The A-7 is a great attack aircraft, but I'd prefer an AV8B+ Harrier first as it can use the HARM, Maverick, Harpoon and AMRAAM missiles and do the same operations that the A-7 could, while also being S/VTOL :D

I too would like to see an AV-8B or Harrier GR7 in DCS as well but the A-7E brings more to the table as a Su-25T replacement and would be easier to produce. That and I would like to see a early to mid 80's CVW with flyable DCS level aircraft to perform multiplayer Alpha Strikes with. From everything I have read the Marines leave the SEAD/DEAD mission to the Prowlers and Hornets and Anti-Ship doesn't seem to get any training time whatsoever. The USMC Harrier is all about CAS for the Marine Rifleman on the Beachhead. I'm not sure about the Italian and Spanish Navies though they might train with Harpoon and HARM. Anyone have any info on the Spanish or Italian Harriers? Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

nick10 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Harrier please. All half this community wants is a carrier capable modern strike plane. In absence of a hornet (coming) or a rafale m (how good would that be!) it's gotta be the harrier. No more obscure weird aircraft for DCS!
Moos_tachu Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Harrier please. All half this community wants is a carrier capable modern strike plane. Funny, 'cause indeed the Harrier is half all of that: Half-carrier, half-capable, half-modern, half-strike, and half-plane! :D :D :D Just kidding ;) I've never been so much into this bird personally, but I understand other people liking her :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mud, wind and fire.

I'm not sure about the Italian and Spanish Navies though they might train with Harpoon and HARM. Anyone have any info on the Spanish or Italian Harriers? Spanish army uses the harrier as multirol. From CAP (multimode radar and BvR capabilities with amrraam), antiship (harpoon and seaeagle integrated) and CAS with mavericks and all sort pf dumb weapons. It only lacks maximum speed but has much superior agility than most of other aircarfts. During 80,s the old model beat the agressors F5 and F15 american squadrons among others. You just need to know how to use it... But the point is that is perfectly capable of figthing any other 4th aircraft, and it would be realistic if you use it as any rol.
phant Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Anyone have any info on the ... Italian Harriers? CAS and RECON. Bye Phant

Odd, most of the pilots I have talked to say the Harrier is not a very maneuverable bird in BFM. Of course they were Tomcat, Hornet and Super Hornet drivers.

ESAc_matador Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Odd, most of the pilots I have talked to say the Harrier is not a very maneuverable bird in BFM. Of course they were Tomcat, Hornet and Super Hornet drivers. My mistake. Superior at low level, low speed. I am not saying that as figther is the best! Sure not BUT with the last radars and equiped with amraams, a couple of Harriers or three are a very dangerous weapon. regarding the stories about them defeating agresors and F15 just read "over the falklands" written by Sharkey Ward, the commander of the 801st (Hermes). In any case, Harrier is more like an 80s multirol, so yo can do many things, not exceling in any, but with good enough performance. On the other hand A6 and A7 are pure bombers. I prefer the harrier for that ( and... May be because i am an spanish navy commander son, and i have been in Rota Naval Air Base (Spanish) and in all the spanish carriers. First the Dedalo ( former U.S.S Cabot), pp e de Asturias and the new one, and I have seem many many Harriers flying over me one day after another. Edited September 29, 2015 by ESAc_matador

Cool Breeze Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I think with a few additions to the code and some new buildings Harriers and Viggens could operate near the FEB and be very harmful to the bad guys. All the while operating off of roads! If Leatherneck produces the Viggen like many are speculating this could be a very effective team! Great potential, especial if someone produces a Baltic sea or North sea map! Very 80's cold war!

Vectury Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I hope either the A-7E, the A-6 or the S-3B.

Sarge55 Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I agree the M2000D should be next. Of course once ED figures out A/G radar...

fixen Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I would really like a A-6. I have no idea why, but I have an obsession for that aircraft. Ofcourse it would have to be multiplayer ready. Though I would also like a F-15E, harrier and many more. Not much of a fan of the A-7, but that might change.
