Any preview of the Carrier Module ?

[Mars Exulte]

indeed ED promised a full detailed carrier including crew etc etc with elevators and stuff, so far we only have a basic standard oldstyle carrier which is sthe Stennis.

 

 

They didn't 'promise' anything @@ And they are working on deck crew animations right now (few posts up some pictures)

I thought when they said most realistic simulation of a carrier they meant from a pilots perspective.

Not a detailed inner workings including radar ops etc.

Somewhat related, I noticed last night the Tarawa is becoming very detailed and has a smattering of personnel around the deck, driving tugs, etc. I didn't think any of that was out yet, but apparently the crew expansions are already beginning to take affect. Didn't appear to be any animations yet.

At least they could update the old Kuznetsov model they had been teasing in screenshots and videos since 2015:music_whistling:

I don't really care if any of you agree with or believe me, use search and starting trawling comments about carriers if you really want to see what has/hasn't been said.

 

 

 

They were talking about doing two carriers, the Nimitz and Kuznetsov. Giant CF ensued in and around WWII assets pack sales. Nimitz has been released, the Kuznetsov postponed. It's totally logical they're going to do yet another Nimitz, but this one will be waaaaaay better @@ The "improvements" discussed are for the ship we have, as all screenshots have shown.

I don't think it's a matter of believing or not. Not necessary to believe, we remember that stuff was talked about, just as they say it was put down in the way of paid module (because of people reactions here in the forums, and WWII assets pack experience I guess). New Nimitz happened in the form of Stennis which is new by the way and way better than previous CA available (but we didn't fly from it in order to know how much new and better it is before Hornet), not only that but it's still being developed with more features, and Kuznetsov is coming but later. So, it's not a faith thing, is a that's what we already have and are gonna get.

 

 

S!

Lets end all the confusion. There are 3 US carriers either being updated or created to compliment upcoming modules. The Tarawa for the harrier, the Stennis for the hornet, and the Forestall for the tomcat.

 

The carriers will be added to the main DCS files for free to everyone. This is partly due to multiplayer requirements. There are no paid carriers.

Actually there will be 7: Kuznetsov, Tarawa, Stennis, Forrestal, Ranger, Saratoga and Independence.

Wait, what? Ranger, Saratoga, and Independence?! First I've heard of that! :D The more the better, of course!

The mighty CV-59, Heatblur Forrestal Class carrier leaves drydock for the first time!

 

While the art team begins the texturing process, we'll be bringing her systems and functionality online. The Heatblur F-14 project includes the free DCS addition of the Forrestal, Ranger, Saratoga and Independence Forrestal class carriers amongst other free included content.

 

And waiting the RAZBAM "USMC/Russian" and "Falklands/Malvinas Pack with:

-Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB)

-LHD-1 Wash

-HMS Hermes

-HMS Invincible

-HMS Illustrious

-HMS Ocean

-Project 1123 Kondor [Moskva]

Yet....

Nice to see all these new ships coming. That is an area that has been lacking for some time.

Hopefully more Iranian assets will be added soon too.

[Mars Exulte]

Oh wow. I completely missed all that. Must have been inverted when they made the announcement.

 

 

I'll see myself out :p

[DowntownSIX]

Interesting, so did all the buyers of the AV-8B fund the LHA-1 then? Sort of feels like that.

I would imagine, that 3rd parties would get a compensation from ED for adding supporting assets to the DCS world, or that asset contribution is taken into account when doing the contract for the main module.

 

This is just a guess though and i don't know if stuff like this is allowed to be discussed here. Would be off-topic for this thread anyways...

If there is no new Nimitz carrier...

They want to finalize carrier ops and work out all of the bugs that exist with it in SP and MP before moving on to doing it for the Kuz would be my guess.

Thanks!

Well, now it does make sense.

A carrier deck crew is very much needed and i really hope that is something that is in the works. I also hope they improve the Optical Landing System on the carrier. It needs to be made a bit more visible....

 

 

Deck Crew? Absolutely. I need some help hooking up that ruddy launch bar!
