At least one Century series plane (pick one)

[carss]

Which Century series plane would you like to see in DCS and how soon, and by whom??

[TWC_SLAG]

An F-100 would be a good choice, for sure.

An F-100 would be a good choice, for sure.

 

Oh I love the F-100, btw I am in contact with a pilot who flew both the F-100 and the F-106

[kontiuka]

I know this is very superficial but I just can't stand the looks of the F-100 or the deltas. Voted for the other 3.

[BravoFoxTrt]

Thunder chief AKA The Thud would fit right into Vietnam era so far with whats in DCS currently

 

A Mig-19 would be nice as well. just saying.

[Beagle One]

the F-104 because it was widespread in cold war europe well into the 80's... just like the MiG-21.

[NeilWillis]

Seconded, the F104 was available to any farmer in West Germany - as long as he had a big field for it to fall into!

[Aginor]

F-104 (best) or F-105 would be very great.

F-100 would still be nice. The rest is not interesting for me.

[Vitormouraa]

F-106 for the win..

[NeilWillis]

No F-111 then? :music_whistling: :music_whistling: :music_whistling:

[Grafit164DK]

I have voted for F-101 - in my opinion the most beautiful plane in the history of aviation (especially B variant)

[Kev2go]

f105D, and second pick for me would be F100D super sabre.

 

Not a fan of the F104 , really dont like the airframe design , In any case F105 is #1 for me because eventually when we get a phantom and A6/A7 ( latter of which is actually planned by Razbam) we will be able to have Vietnam Scenarios. F105 was the primary Fighter Bomber of the 1960s period. Not just Vietnam but for a 1960s/ early 70s Hypothetical Cold war gone Hot scenario in Europe. F105 fits in the legacy era time period. Ultimately why would i prefer a F105 as a fighter bomber over the F100? becasue the F105D would be fitted with a Radar , as well as RWR, and have some SEAD capability, whilst the F100 fighter bomber, was strictly a Day Fighter/Bomber. In any case both platoforms could launch the AGm12 bullpop, and would be fantasitic to have a aircraft in DCS to launch Bullpops. since it was one of the first types of air to ground guided ordinance.

What about F-4 phantom II ?

There are several there that I would love to see. The feasibility might vary with the aircraft but I would probably go for the Wild Weasel variant of the Thud if I had to choose.

My dream sheet choices out of UPT were F-106, A-7, F-4 in that order. I can't support the Six for DCS. It's weapons and weapon system is not suitable for anything we do. It is an interceptor tied to GCI. It was an AIM-4 and Genie truck. A hitile and a nuke. The weapons system was designed for ground directed intercept of Soviet bombers that would be on the receiving end of a canned sunshine surprise. The AIM-4 wasn't even effective for bombers as it had to hit the target hence the hitile descriptive. The only sure hit for an AIM-4 was the ground. It was found to be a very good BFM machine when TAC decided they had to begin learning DACT WVR again. Still it didn't have suitable weapons for WVR against fighters since the weapons bay Vulcan had been removed and was a one turn and done unless the nose was pointed down hill. The Deuce is the predecessor to the Six and far less suitable to DCS.

 

The Hun is a possibility. It has some challenging flight characteristics but is a very good high speed FAC, used by the famous Misty FACs in VN, a decent CAS/BAI machine, and can do day VFR A2A. Might be fun.

 

The Voodoo is a very decent recce bird for the time but is less at everything than the Hun. It is also a lead sled with a few nastier characteristics than the Hun. Unsuitable.

 

The Thud is probably the best of the choices although it is behind the F-4 in my opinion due to Double Ugly's greater versatility. The Thud is a great bomb truck with range and unsurpassed low level speed. Tthe Edsel Station Wagon is about the only US jet that was faster down low. The Thud would probably get my vote although I'd prefer an F-4 with the F-8, A-7, A-4, or A-6 right there with the Thud as too close to call. An interesting possibility for VN era use is the A-1D/H/AD family of Skyraiders. CAS/SAR workhorse par excellence. The only thing the A-10A had on it was speed (that's funny shit right there) and a gun.

 

MiG17 or MiG19 is also right up there too but only if the F-4 were available.

 

F-104 was a point defense interceptor with a gun, AIM-9, and Genie capability. Minimal radar usually GCI directed day fighter. Short range and duration. Most sorties were in the .5-.7 hour category. One pass, maybe two if you can reverse back through the fight and go home. BFM is limited to how well you can extend or zoom climb to reposition to reattack on the way home. I had a very limited A2G capability but had to choose between bombs or fuel to attack anything much outside of the boundary fence. Not much fun all in all. Would love it but like the era's interceptors I think it is unsuitable due to lack of versatility.

 

That's an old guy's opinion if anyone wants it.

[Tirak]

The Voodoo's too limited in what it can do. 4 Falcon Missiles? Er, no.

 

The Dagger and the Dart are both interceptors, again, not flexible dogfighters. Sure they look sexy, but they have nothing to fight since there's no bombers, and frankly I'm not a huge fan of Deltas.

 

The Starfighter is one of the ugliest fighters every build by man. The G variant has ground attack sure, but it's hideous, I would never buy it.

 

The Thunderchief is a fighterbomber, emphasis on the bomber. But it's dumb bombs. Sure, a Wild Weasel version could be interesting, but I've never really liked the aircraft.

 

The Hun is the only one worth while from the list of the Century Series. America's first supersonic in level flight fighter, the D was used all the way through Vietnam. It's a rough and tumble drag racer, and you can practically smell the oil and soot from this quad cannon monster. Give me one of these.

[WinterH]

F-100 and may be F-105 for me. Both versatile, and F-100 is rather pretty too!

 

Deltas are very pretty, but I have to agree that their use is very specific, "one trick pony" kinda specific at that. F-104 is kind of historically significant but honestly it would be something I would consider in a sale. Arguably it would be a MiG-21 rival, though an often losing one. Now in F-5, it has a more interesting rival anyway.

 

F-101 is a non starter for me. Just don't find it too interesting and also it look plain ugly to me .

 

Now F-111 isn't really considered one of century series but, I would prefer having that one to any of the centuries.

[Random]

 

The Starfighter is one of the ugliest fighters every build by man. The G variant has ground attack sure, but it's hideous, I would never buy it.

 

 

Couldn't disagree more! I love the look of the F104.

[carss]

Kidding me, the F-104 is one of the sharpest sleekest fighters ever built!!

[Vampyre]

As stated, the Deuce and Six Delta's would be difficult to implement in DCS in its current state what with the small maps and lack of real GCI. They are just too specialized.

 

The Voodoo would need to be a version that would be useful within the framework of the current game... An F-101A/C or RF-101C would be optimal. The F-101B, being an interceptor, would have the same limitations as the two Deltas.

 

I voted F-105, F-104 and F-100 in that order.

 

The F-100D or F-100F would be good choices as they were used from the late 50's to the mid 80's (in Turkish service). It would be interesting learning to handle this jet.

 

The F-104G would also be a good choice due to its ground attack capabilities and the use of it with Kormoran missiles by the Marinefliger. It also had quite a long service life with multiple air forces and would have figured heavily in the fighting in central Europe had the cold war gone hot.

 

The F-105 Thunderchief would be great to have in DCS especially in its F-105D and F-105G forms. It would be a great aircraft to have in DCS as it is an older fighter bomber. I'm having a lot of fun bombing with the F-5E and I think these jets would be really fun as well.

[Knock-Knock]

I went for the F-104. Was a tough choice between the F-100 and F-104, both having served in RDAF. But went with the F-104, because its a bit crazy, and if that howl can be replicated, yes please :)

 

And on that note, Ill just slide this F-104 walkaround in:

[carss]

Knock-Knock I completely agree with you, btw you can choose multiple planes. Also I would certainly love to see both the F-104 and the F-100 in service with DCS. Both planes were being developed and to my absolute sadness, both got cancelled :(

 

Also here is an amazing modern documentary of the F-100

[StandingCow]

My grandfather flew the F-100... so I gotta go with that. :D

[QuiGon]

I would love to have a F-104G fighter-bomber in DCS :)

 

The F-106 with Genie would also be nice :D

[Dingo_Bob]

F-106 so we can recreate Chase flights over Nevada

 

 

 

Although we can do that now with the F-5 (T-38 substitute)I suppose :D
