Kayos Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'll fly the F-18 along with the others I like. I usually switch it up. Can't wait for the F-14 (which will probably take over) and the F-16 eventually. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StandingCow Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 For the first month or so it may... but things will eventually even out again, ESPECIALLY during the early access period. On servers like Blueflag there are only so many slots... and you won't get much done without helos. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadg Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 it will be like the harrier. at first all you will see online is exploding F/A-18 everywhere. billions of dollars worth :) then after a while everyone will fall back to the aircraft they are best in.. to claw back some self respect. this is what happens in competitive games like lol that get lots of new "champions" My Rig: AM5 7950X, 32GB DDR5 6000, M2 SSD, EVGA 1080 Superclocked, Warthog Throttle and Stick, MFG Crosswinds, Oculus Rift.

Eviscerador Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 To be honest I don't see the F18C flying CAP like the Eagle or doing CAS like the Harrier / A10C / Su25. The only one which can take a hit on sales is the Mirage 2000, which has the same multirole Gen4 appeal, or the Viggen, which is a pure strike aircraft. Anyway, almost each one of the DCS modules is special enough to justify the purchase. The hornet can be the jack of all trades but master of none. You can do everything on it, but you can't do it better than specialiced hulls will do. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouPhrontis Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'll still have plenty of time for the AV-8B, the SA342 and then might be convinced of perhaps the F-14 with a RIO.

DieHard Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) I just bought the Hornet on pre-sale offer. (LOL! I have most all of the others already... ) I might play with it awhile but will wait for Chuck's Guide for it when it most likely appears. Chuck is a lot quicker at learning the new stuff than I am. He has a real gift for creating tech manuals. As to the Harrier? The 3rd party stuff is never ready for prime-time at its release date and sometimes not even 2 years later. I will wait awhile and a good sale. I have sim flown both : VRS SuperBug and somebody made a Harrier a few years ago. I know of a retired Navy pilot that sim-flies the VRS SuperBug on P3D with his squadron guys; it is very realistic! And P3D ain't cheap! >>> https://www.prepar3d.com http://vcw-8.com https://www.vrsimulations.com/superbug.php -+- I welcome comments and critiques as the VRS SuperBug has been out quite awhile. Too bad DCS_World could not include total sim-war like Arma and incorporate the flyboys to support ground troops missions like in the real world. Historically the Navy supports the Marines in country. Edited May 17, 2018 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hornet won't have the full "do it all" multi role capability for a while yet so I doubt it. Once JHMCS, AIM9X, AIM120B+C and Link16 are up and running I expect enthusiasm for the Eagle to take a hit though. Otherwise there a quite a few players who seem loyal to their Hogs, Harriers, Mirages and red team jets. F14 will diversify the player base too.

Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Nah, not at all. The Hornet is fun but people have the aircraft they actually like and love, and that's beyond capabilities. The majority of players would rather die in their favourite ride than live in one they don't connect with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 If I were new to DCS now, I probably wouldn't purchase most of the modules. And with the F/A-18C just two more weeks away, that's a no-brainer. Anyway, the depth of the A-10C and Ka-50 modules doesn't go away, just like the brilliant feeling of flying the Huey, to name just my personal favorites. For instance, I can easily imagine AFACing some Hornets in the A-10C, that would be immersive, realistic and probably a great experience for all involved. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFire Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Despite owning all modules except the choppers (I have the Ka-50 but can't get on with it) I'm still looking for something that will prise me out of the cockpit of my Su-27. The F-18 may do that for a bit. I was looking forwards to having a Eurofighter, but I guess that may or may not happen now. Dammit, I want my 4th gen red air!

javelina1 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 From time to time i hop over to fly all the different modules. I enjoy all the different aircraft. Make missions, integrate audio files and/or military chatter. It keeps DCS interesting. :D exactly what I do too! Though for the last 3 months, the Harrier has been my go to bird. :thumbup: Definitely looking forward to the Hornet.
