WolfK33 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Nope, it's an Aresti plan, for aerobatic figures. Aha !:thumbup: So we should look what aircraft flown by various display teams fit the other hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfK33 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The jugoslawian (or just jugoslaw ?) Air Force display team "Leteće zvezde" used a bird called Soko G-4 Super Galeb. Hasn´t that bird been suggested before in this thread ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moafuleum Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 No matter what it is in particular, i hope for a redfor aircraft. Just for the sake of balance in DCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absha Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 One guy on reddit (slamonfingers) said something right : "[...] it might be a F-100 Super Sabre? It fits the 'super' clue, looks a bit like the shadow in the recon photo, and served with the Thunderbirds." I could add that the A-4 Skyhawk could also be a theory, having served in the Blue Angels. Or, due to "suprises", it could be a CM-175 Zéphyr. Soko G-4 Super Galeb. Hasn´t that bird been suggested before in this thread ? Yep, best guess from my POV.

Krasniye Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'm sorry but I really hope they haven't been hyping us up for a trainer. :/ Yes I know the G-4 is a light attack aircraft but it's still not that capable. Everything is unconfirmed though so maybe there's still hope. >>Find my liveries (new model MiG-29 Liveries!) and mods here<< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vatikus Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hint 4 is in Dolphin´s profile: https://forums.eagle.ru/member.php?u=47878 Note that the filename ends with ".gif.jpg." I have no idea about that stuff, but could it be that it´s a gif and we can get it "moving" somehow ? Is that some electronics stuff, a plan for wiring something similar ? Which means that the box from yesterday is an aerobatic box: Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDieing Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This thread is great fun. 50% are just the most random airframes that ever flew this planet, the other 49% is people just randomly calling 'proper' aircraft they want the most in DCS and try to connect the hints to it, and 1% is actually trying to connect all the hints and then make an educated guess with substantiation.

firmek Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A-4 Skyhawk seems to be the best guess for the moment. It matches the hints for "bird, supper bird" (hawk) and the connection with aerobatics as it has been used by Blue Angels. Just speculating but A-4 had been developed since some time as an independent project. Joining forces or taking over abandoned project may be another fact to consider the A-4. Additionally the A-4 does not seem to be extremely complex, making it a good project for for M3 which are probably not such a big team after the split. However, if that's the A-4, ED has to really thing about assets for it, including the era carrier. On the other hand if it is A-4 I'll start to have some real hopes for Vietnam period reflected in DCS. Just throw in F-105, Super Sabre and with F-5, MiG-21, MiG-19 there should be a great start for DCS journey into that period. PS 1: Great find Vatikus linking the hint from LN page with aerobatic box :thumbup: Sorry but forum does not allow me to rep you but if anyone else can kind request to do it ;) PS 2: It would be an ironical coincidence if it's A-4 as it's not exactly the most prettiest plane in the world while there was a lot of planes with "controversial" look posted in this thread. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very plausible to me. Let's hope you are wrong!!! If it really was going to be that bird, my reactions would be like :huh: then :( , and finally :mad: I do like trainers, and some of them - being the most popular training planes with many airforces - make perfect sense in DCS and find a big group of interested users. L-39, Hawk, absolutely. A T-38 would be welcomed by many for sure. The C101 already was a niche plane from the very beginning... but a Yugoslav Super Galeb???

I guess the reason for this choice is, that Dolphin has probably flown the Super Galeb himself, just like their previous module, the MiG-21.

Robert31178 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 "Just speculating but A-4 had been developed since some time as an independent project. Joining forces or taking over abandoned project may be another fact to consider the A-4." That would explain all of the drinking on the beach pics by the Community A-4 devs lol.....but really I would say they are probably not doing that. they just refused a request to hop on their team and help from another dev who has another A-4 project going, stating that the reason for their refusing the help was because the team works really well together after having worked for 2 years as a team - it wouldn't make sense for them to join another team based on that.
