aileron Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 P-51D because I'm an American, and proud of it! For some reason your statement reminded me of Prothero from 'V for Vendetta.' "I'm a God-fearing Englishman and I'm goddamn proud of it!" Gazelle for me then the Spit. Even though I'm an American, and I love the P-51 I'll start with the Spitfire.

Reflected Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The 109 and the Mustang. As much as I LOVE the Spitfire and the way ED modeled it, ever since its release I started to appreciate the P-51 even more. I can't wait to roar across Normandy at treetop level and strafe whatever moves. Also, to dive into a large formation of B-17s head on with my Messerschmitt.

msalama Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Well I think I'll get my trusty old Mi-8 and see the sights, then have a quiet aperitif or two somewhere. The missus can fly back if the aperitif count exceeds two, mind :D The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

horseback Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Spit IX because it's the only aircraft in the current inventory that actually flew combat missions over Normandy in the summer of 1944. The Mustang, Dora and Kurfurst versions we have were all later war (or mixed) models; I can save them for a bit later. cheers horseback [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Here's your new Mustangs boys--you can learn to fly 'em on the way to the target!"

BuzzU Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 This is an easy decision for me. I consider DCS a simulation. a simulation means to me that we're simulating real life. Even if it is in a different time. So, as a loyal American and putting myself back in WW2. What would I be flying if I was a pilot? The P-51 is the obvious choice. So is the P-47 if we get that. It doesn't matter how it flies or if it's the best plane or the worst plane. I would have had to deal with it back then, and i'll deal with it now.

Conroy Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 K4 for me even if i would have preferred a G10. Why K4? Because it is a Messerschmitt, and because we still don't have a FW-190 (Dora is somenthing different from a "classic" FW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foul Ole Ron Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Not sure if they flew missions, but a good supply of P-51D's were on hand for D-Day. Think he meant that the D model Mustang in DCS now is a model that came into service towards the end of the war. The K-14 gun sight was only starting to be a field mod around July '44 and it was October '44 before they were factory fitted in the 20-NA block. It also would've had fabric elevators around the Normandy timeframe instead of the metal elevators it currently has in game. Having said that the performance of the in game Mustang would otherwise be pretty close to the Normandy version. The same can't really be said about the 109 or 190. So really out of all the WW2 planes in DCS the only one that actually fought at Normandy was the Spit IX. But anyway it is what it is and there'll be plenty to enjoy with the new map and hopefully over time things get aligned better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always not use the K-14 sight for more authenticity. Personally, I don't like it that much. However, I wish we had all the power we should have.

Just get the appropriate skins and thatl be good enough place holder until ED gives us a P51D rework for ETO. the changes from a ETO P51D20/D25 to D30 arent major changes anyhow and have to do with things that wont really have an impact on your dogfights ( like newer radios Or such) Edited March 24, 2017 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUICE-AWG Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It will be the P-51D for me until I find a module that attracts me or if there is a WWII Module Bundle sale. I would truly like to see a multi-crew B-17G with working Guns, Bombardier, Radios, Pilot and CoPilot, the full crew! "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets."
