SH-50 and CH-53 remodel

[Devil 505]

Hey Gents,

 

Is it just me does anybody else want to see a major AI overal model for the CH-53 and SH-60? Everything else looks really good right now, but those two helos are burning my eyes. Especially the SH-60. With the F-18 and F-14 coming out, we need a proper AI model done. I know there are priorities but I hope this gets done in a future update.

and the title, I meant SH-60 not 50

as bad as the sh-60 is, the s-3 suffers even more as not only is it as lowres as the sh-60 but the geometry has more errors than any other model in game.

 

bear family, su-34/30/17 are also very old models, mig-23/27 are in a slightly better position but still deserve more love considering their historical ubiquity.

AI Models have been slowly being replaced.

I doubt that ED has forgotten this issue, especially with carrier ops on the way. It doesn't seem logical that serious effort would be placed into a new CVN only to populate it with less detailed aircraft models. Aircraft are crammed so close together on a carrier deck that it would be hard to hide old models.

 

With that in mind, it seems likely that the S-3 and SH-60 will be updated. Plus, I'm pretty confident that the rest of the airwing will be fleshed out (more or less) including an AI Super Hornet. Without other members of the airwing, the ability to create realistic scenarios falls a bit short. Seems like a worthy effort if so much time is invested recreating all of the F/A-18C's systems.

 

That said, these things probably go in waves. Currently, the Normandy map is up next among map updates/releases so you can bet that most (if not all) of ED's 3D resources are going into those objects and AI units. Once Normandy is more or less done, then the Caucasus map is up and 3D models for that region will be a priority. Strait of Hormuz and the Hornet module would be the impetus to upgrade these USN objects, so I wouldn't expect to see those updates till SoH and Hornet are nearly done or in Early Access.

 

Lastly, the CH-53 seems like a pretty important upgrade for the Strait of Hormuz map given the historical role of mining and anti-mine operations in the Strait. The CH-53 and the F-4E (for the IRIAF) are probably near the top of the list as needed 3D models for that map (IMHO).

 

So I bet it will happen, but not before a few other things are done first.

 

My 2 cents. :)

Number one priority should be getting the MIG-29S 3D model done, because we actually fly that aircraft. The A looks wonderful and I would like to see the same treatment applied for the S.
