My Dream wish list for DCS.

[DaveRindner]

Obvious things;

 

F-16C/D Block50 and higher. Module. UAE Block 60, Blk72-V (A man can dream).

Somewhat realistic ATC, tower, and ground handling/plane director features.

 

 

Modules of my desire

;

F-16C as above

Japanese F2, with HarpoonER, and SLAM

Tornado

AV-8B (USMC) with LHA

Typhoon

Detailed SU-27 or Mig-29 module, with PFM , and ASM, 29K Naval variant

UH-60L and or MH-60R Blackhawk modules.

AH-64D(A will do also), but needs to detailed

AH-1W with Night Targeting-navigation Sytem, detailed.

Tiger

MI-28N (will accept MI-24 in place, but prefer MI-28)

LSO and director lights for US Navy frigate and cruiser helicopter operations.

Multiengine cargo/gunship. C-130 family, or C-27. I would not expect SPECTRE AC-130! But something that would require multiengine rating in RL.

A-4 or F-4

Last generation A-7E as operated by Hellenic AF, and Desert Storm era USN A-7E.

Sepecat Jaguar

Russian Navy variant SU-25, with Kuznetzov compatability.

Any low tech , non-tail dragger, and not covered by X-Plane or MS Flight Simulator and 3rd party.

 

Weapons payload, and sensor expansion module packs for purchase;

AIM-9X, AIM-120C-5/7/8, AIM-120D, Chinese stores for Chinese aircraft, Israeli Python4,5, and Derby, GBU-15, Popeye(for B-52H) bomb, MK-65 mines, R-77 family of missiles and plumbing upgrade for SU-27, SHAR night/low light attack sensor upg for KA-50, R-73 for KA-50, JHMQS with AIM-9X Block1, Sniper/Pantera pods.

 

Big ticket AI , ground units, and installations.

KC-10 replacing KC-135

U-2R (AI only and need not be 'realistic')

Chinese strike and fighter aircraft. Aircraft that are unique to China, and are not copies of Russian types.

LHA vessel

French carrier

Expeditionary airfield runway.

Forward deployed refuel-rearm point for helicopters.

Road dispersion runways.

Infantry at squad, platoon, company level. (This should be easy). With CA

Armor and artillery units as section, platoon, and battery . With CA

M-60A3 MBT (Turkish) with CA

 

 

Across the board accurate fuel flow for altitude, met, and drag condition of player and AI.

 

Theaters;

Korea

SCS/Taiwan

North Pacific (Aleutian Islands and Bering Straight),

Baltic Sea/Scandanavia,

Expand NTTR to include Ft.Irwin, 29 Palms(MAGWC), China Lake

Iceland-Greenland (aka North Atlantic) for modern scenario

 

Pt. Mugu US Naval Aviation weapons range.

or

Pensacola, FL US Naval Aviation training center

or

Norfolk, VA US Navy East Coast naval aviation training area.

Forward deployed refuel-rearm point for helicopters.

 

We already do have FARP's in game...

[RyboPops]

KC-10 replacing KC-135

 

I would very much prefer that it's KC-10 IN ADDITION TO KC-135. Both are still used.

I kinda like where DCS is going at the moment (besides the WWII / Modern split). I don't see the point in having ultra-modern starwars planes (F16 Block 70 / F22). Less and less flying your plane will happen and more and more using the gizmos. Taking this to an extreme will get us to the next evolution in war planes, which is automated planes without human control, which will mean we battle each other by coding them. I'm guessing few of us here wants to do that (I do want to but not in this game).

 

I'd like to see the range of middle to late cold war era planes filled out. F16A (maybe early C), Mig23/27, 25, 29, A4, Phantom, A7, F111, Mirage F1, Su17/22 27, F18, F14, Mi24, Ah64A, Tornado, Jaguar etc.

 

This way we can have battles that involve some gizmos but that still requires good piloting and hands-on skills and coordination between players.

 

Having a push button that kills an enemy without fail at long range is boring for everyone. Along with all this we need some functionality implemented into DCS, stuff like better runway denial, more realistic AI (at the moment you can't really surprise them, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING), better damage modeling etc.
