DCS: Uboats

[Rabbl]

Anybody want DCS simulated uboats with weapons?

New carriers need to be crashed with uboats.

I start a poll.

Nope

[Rabbl]

Nope

 

Please use poll.

To use submarines need, at a minimum, a map of the world ocean, will not she go to the Black Sea. It is better then strategic aviation, from the Caucasus to fly to Nevada:)

Good idea, but we need to firstly have at least, a limited underwater simulation, both open sea, coastal areas and hopefully even rivers. Also maybe not u-boats (if we get the right theatre for one, maybe) but maybe naval mines, amphibious vehicles, ASuW, maybe some improved Kilo classes (as is present IRL Black Sea Fleet). Having an underwater environment would add a whole new warfare aspect. :thumbup:

[Silver_Dragon]

yes, of course....... only need improve the engine...

 

Not uboat, but... :music_whistling:

Nice!, it would also be great to have submarine launched cruise missiles too.

I know there isnt many votes, but quite surprised by the poll, at least I would like some AI ones, and operations related to them... interesting.

I would like to drop depth charges from my Mi-8 on them:)

Same, AI definitely (we already have subs right? Just fairly awful looking unarmed ones...) the underwater aspect is the issue though - with underwater being fairly impossible with the current engine - maybe something for the future perhaps?

I know right! Adding any underwater aspect would instantly add a new form of warfare thats not only perfect for ships and submarines, but also any ASuW aircraft or weapons

I have a feeling uboats would feel at home here in the uboats thread :)

In most peoples mind, anything being added to the game will slow down the f-18 devlopment by x^2 amounts of months. x being how long it took to develop the new feature..

 

I'd love to see more vehicles in DCS :) you can pull the digital combat simulator card on trainers, but not on combat vehicles :)

Buuuut what's the point of having a huge fidelity proper carrier aircraft without proper naval aspects? That's like having incredible planes but no runways, or a ground attack aircraft but no ground attack aspect if you see what I mean.

 

I'm looking forward to the F-18 as well, I can't wait - super excited in fact, buuuuut in the back of my mind I feel without the other half (the naval aspect) what's the point of having a naval aircraft with at present a barely existing naval aspect representation

I don't know if you've been following development.. but.. Su-33, F-14, F-4U?

 

those will all take advantage of new carriers.. (maybe not so much the F-4U)

People may be taking it too literally. It might be better if it said "ASW in DCS?"

 

Adding only submarines wouldn't accomplish much, as there would need to be a LOT of other things added besides submarines to make it meet the level of simulation DCS is known for...

 

I, for one, would like to see it someday. I played Dangerous Waters back in the day and it can be a lot of fun tracking subs and ships by passive sonar. Voice command really adds to the realism for ship/sub simulations.

Devs in russian section says uboats timeline toooooo long to play it with planes.

Yes, if no time compress, would be weeks

Hell yes, I would really like to have them (as AI units) in DCS because:

- I want to perform ASW with ASW-aircraft like the SH-60 Seahawk and the P-3 Orion (we need them as well)

- They should provide an additional threat to carriers

- I want to play them as the ultimate goal.

 

Until then I keep playing SH3 GWX (SH5 sucks ;)) and Dangerous Waters :D

Time compress works in singleplayer.

Nobody says that you must play in module like this without TC.

[Devil 505]

If I am not mistaken, way back in the day was Naval combat not something ED said they would like to bring to the table at some point? I remember this is what fired me up to begin with. The Devs specifically mentioned Armor, Naval and of Course Aircraft. It sounded like they were looking at an M1 Abrams a while back but have heard nothing on it.

 

I do not want to deviate from the topic. Being former Navy, I would love to see a naval module come to the table. Maybe a destroyer or something a little more applicable for the maps first. DCS has something going for them that no other simulation does, the ability to expand on the base sim in the future via modules. Hopefully these ideas come to fruition in the future.

[marluk]

Submarines are certainly a factor on battlefield.

 

DCS is not only flying sim. The idea is to simulate all what armed conflict includes. Therefore we already have Combined Arms module.

 

Would be cool to have submarines. At least AI. And planes/weapons to hunt submarines.

 

Hence, I've voted: Yes!

[Pikey]

Voted yes because DCS is about the whole thing. There was no "but you can't have this" in the question.

[159th_Falcon]

Voted yes, tough i think CA should recieve some more love first.

(LOS issue's in AI vs Player combat)

[ebabil]

submarines are very exciting but at the same time very boring. being stealth killer is a cool thing but they are very slow. i used to play silent hunter for a while but always used fast forward
