O-2A Skymaster

Simple question

O-2A Skymaster in DCS?

Absolutely. It's almost identical to its civil variant just sans interior and prop spinners. It also carried a few rockets, gun pods, and bombs. So you end up with something that satisfies both the people who would like to see some civil aviation in DCS and those that say military only.

The question on everybody's mind will be though whats going on with a certain controversial modder who's announced an O2 project? Feel free to delete this comment if said controversy would impede development...

I think the OV-10 would be a much better choice personally. I'm guessing info about it should be easy to come by as well?

I would really like to know about this, since if so, its a coincidence

It's a very thin line

On my Behalf Razbam can continue on this project,you guys are more qualified for this Job, My self and silver dragon started it about more than 2 weeks ago,but there is really nothing done than just a few blueprints of the aircraft and weapons,hud and gun piper,i also started modeling the rocket pods and other weapons the O-2 carries.

 

 

Again please if this community wants this plane please you guys make it,the O-2 will be in the right hands,i still have a lot to learn before I can fully make a module.

 

So please bring this aircraft to DCS.:thumbup:

Feel free to take these if needed

Early work on the Weapons.

Hi all

 

I have the same opinion with cubanace. RAZBAM has better resources, team, experience and talent. Expected see them into DCS some day.

 

Best rewards.

A well...to be honest, i wasn't aware of this.

Cubanace, thanks, it's a poll on a may or may NOT be project in a future, as usual, i always ask the community. Of course none of this have an impact on current developments

OV-10D/G Bronco please, before someone unqualified calls dibs.

[Flagrum]

"do you want X in DCS?" If "X" can fly, then the communitie's answer will always be "yes!" (ok, even if it does not fly, it would probably be "yes" as well ...) :D

 

Personal hype factor: 1 / 5

 

"weired" aircraft with quirks or oddities, just unusual or unique aircraft are always a huge plus, but battlefield capabilities (in DCS terms) are very important.

 

So, for me, for example: F-14 > F-18, AH-1G > UH-1, but also A-29 > O-2A > Yak-52 / C.E. II

OV-10D/G Bronco please, before someone unqualified calls dibs.

 

Ditto

[Jester986]

I'd like to see an OV-10 as well but I'd give it to the O2 because of it being dual use with general aviation and it's uniqueness.

Actually, there was an F-35 discussion that lead to the cancellation, as the majority was ranting about the impossibility of doing this to DCS standards and a stunning majority of answers where "no"... Just saying. :dunno:

[MBot]

If the question is simply whether I would like to fly a Skymaster or not, then the answer is yes.

 

If the question is whether I would like to fly an aircraft like the Skymaster, I would strongly suggest to consider the OV-10A Bronco instead. Just the plain, steam-gauges and Mk1 eyeball A version (no FLIR and stuff). In terms of system and weapon complexity it should be similar to the O-2A, while offering more variety, being more widely used and generally being much more recognizable. Also consider that the OV-10A has worked together with your own AV-8B and could operate off your own Tarawa LHA, so it should fit in quite well with your product line.

While nothing's wrong with O-2, and it would be nice to have in DCS, I too have a preference favoring the OV-10 Bronco. I've seen one flying a couple months ago, and was strangely more exciting to watch than even the MiG-29, Gripen, various aerobatics aircraft and T-129. There was something in the way it sails through the sky and still appearing agile with its funky looks.

[Einherjer]

Bring it on! It’s a beauty! But I also think the Bronco will sell better

[jamespejam]

I´m absolutely into COIN aircraft, and would DEFINITELY buy an O2-Skymaster from Razbam. But if we are talking about this category of airplane, i would prefer an OV-10 or the ALMIGHTY Pucará!

On a larger stage the O-2 is very important. Fits into a Vietnam Era map very well with the F-4 and MiG-21.

[Gaanalma]

YES!!!!!!!! Forevere!

[Schmidtfire]

O-2A, yes.

 

Main reason: I have a Saitek Yoke waiting to be used for something in DCS :)

[Furia]

O-2A Yes!! Time for something a bit different.

The O-2A had an awesome combat history over Vietnam but required special pilots.

It could be used in a variety of missions.

I am sure it would have its public.

Me among them.

[norbot]

Nice, but as already some other guys said, the OV-10 Bronco would be even better. :D

[Johnny Dioxin]

Use for O-2 in future DCS World, combined with CA and Huey/Hip:
