DieHard Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 So, I flew the Burning Skies server today. Worked my way up to 25,000 feet. Nobody flies up here where the Spit's performance is ideal. Let's get some bomber modules of the era and force higher altitude fights. A.I. does not interest me at all. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might help bring some action up to altitude...

DefaultFace Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) eekz already has a mission with bombers. We tested it at the burning skies event last year. Was a fun mission but when I asked when he was going to add them to the regular mission he said he didn't want to till Normandy. Not sure about the altitude changing the balance too much but it'd certainly be interesting for a change.

I'm use to shooting down and escorting AN-26's, and C-130's. I'll be shocked the first time I go for one of those WWII era bombers and they don't start dropping flares.

golani79 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 We also had a server running with an escort mission but most of the players didn´t even bother to rendezvous with the bombers and most of the fights went down on deck. And then people were complaining that they weren´t able to find other players ... so some time later the mission was changed. >> DCS liveries by golani79 << Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurfürst Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 So, I flew the Burning Skies server today. Worked my way up to 25,000 feet. Nobody flies up here where the Spit's performance is ideal. Let's get some bomber modules of the era and force higher altitude fights. A.I. does not interest me at all. 25 000 feet is hardly ideal for this LF Spitfire, it has a low-medium altitude engine that best works anywhere around (or under) 16-20 000 feet. At 25 000 feet, its running out of breath (engine power).

ED Team Yo-Yo Posted January 26, 2017 ED Team Share Posted January 26, 2017 25 000 feet is hardly ideal for this LF Spitfire, it has a low-medium altitude engine that best works anywhere around (or under) 16-20 000 feet. At 25 000 feet, its running out of breath (engine power). You must be thinking the HF variant or the XIV, which we do not have. It depends on what "performance" you mean. As you can see, thought the critical altitude is about 21000 ft for max speed, the maximal speed does not decrease significantly at 25000. If you mean climb at the climb IAS - yes, 16000 is the critical. Anyway, at combat speed the best range will migrate to higher altitudes due to ram pressure addition.

philstyle Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Running out of breath! Ha! It was a poor choice of phrase. "Running out of breath" is typically used to indicate imminint athletic failure. Applying the metaphor to an aspirated aircraft engine is appropriate at the altitude where that engine is no longer able to gerate any thrust at all. So, it definitely has no place at 25,000ft for the Merlin 66! However, if Kurfürst simply means some like the merlin starts to loose thrust as that point, on a curve towards zero thurst as altitude increases, then fine, it is "runing out of breath". But that's similar to saying that 1-year-old babies have started dying... true from one perspective, but taking massive linguisitc liberties in the process.

mjmorrow Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I would really love to see study sim quality bombers added to the DCS World line up. I would love to learn to sim fly planes like the B-24, a B-25, B-17, and B-29. Specifically for the Normandy map and given the fact that players like to stay low and fast, maybe a De Havilland Mosquito B.IV Series II would be a good first bomber? A Mosquito seems like a really fun plane to sim fly. :thumbup: MJ [sIGPIC]http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/mjmorrow76/SPAD%20of%20a%20new%20generation_zpshcbftpce.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exray Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 This is silly. You need player bombers because the OP is too snobby to shoot down AI? Why do you need a player to fly straight and level when you shoot them down when an AI can do that just as well? Come on get real. Player bombers won't work without multicrew and if they can't manage that for the Huey, what makes you think they'll pull off anything with more crew slots? Please, it takes years to get a plane into DCS this would really be a huge waste. i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.

Please, it takes years to get a plane into DCS this would really be a huge waste. I actually have a friend that finds flying a fighter boring and useless. Work of a fighter revolves around the bomber. They escort bombers and they intercept bombers, they win air superioty so the bomber can get through or to make it impossible for enemy bombers/groundpounders to attack their troops.Those are primary tasks of a fighter. Without the bomber, there is little purpose to a fighter. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.

exray Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Should go play those other WW2 sims then. Considering the length of time it takes to get a single seat fighter into the game, why go to all the trouble for a bomber with a big crew when 80% of the function will be handled by the AI anyway? It would be a huge project that doesn't make practical or financial sense. 1 i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.
