bullitt757 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I would like to see this plane behind the stick, it looks like it already has a great amount of detail into it.

Kang Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Flying is one thing, but the big question is how one would implement its function. Have a radar scope and a (hopefully a little upgraded) CA-like command interface to vector around AI flights?
Evilducky Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Even if the radar is a MFD display that would do kind of a like a "fog of war" with a radar sweep on an F10 view. That would be good enough to make things more interesting.

That would be good enough to make things more interesting. Interesting idea and an E-2 module would fit great with the F-14 and A-6. Speaking about the radar and F10 view, I would like to be able to see a radar range circle at least added. As it stands now, I create a flight plan for an E-2 in the mission editor but I don't really know the extent of the radar coverage. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"

I agree with the fitting in part, i think the e2c would be a would be a great addition to help in multiplayer and even single missions to cover more aspects of real life scenarios
Eight Ball Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I'd love to see this happening and a recent post on reddit suggests many others would too. While I fully understand ED unwillingness to do any guess work with their aircraft I think some exceptions should be made when the extended gameplay opportunities largely outweight the lower realism level. Combined Arms is a prime example. a F-22 or an AH-64D have some unique capabilities but ultimately they add very little in term of gameplay. On the other hand, even a light AWACS simulation would open completely new doors. ED could develop an AWACS simulation and make it available to all AWACS aircraft, the development would be funded by the E-2 module which, as an added incentive, would have a fully modeled "radar post" while the A-50 or the E-3 would just have a custom F10 view. Also right now, if added to a mission, the ground commander slot is available no matter what. It'd be nice if it was tied to some vehicles and aircraft. It would indirectly create high value targets. There are already a number of suitable units for this in the game Edited October 4, 2018 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)

AeriaGloria Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Why can’t the A-50 have a radar post? Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Kayos Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 A Hawkeye would be an awesome addition to DCS. Especially multiplayer. First day buy for me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
bullitt757 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 Why can’t the A-50 have a radar post? What do you mean? like also have the A-50 as a actionable aircraft so we can have say a hawkeye crew vs a A-50 Crew?
bullitt757 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 A Hawkeye would be an awesome addition to DCS. Especially multiplayer. First day buy for me. Same here, I think Id put a deposit down for it to aid with development if the right people were to take it on :thumbup:
bullitt757 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) This video should inspire a developer, when I saw it for the first time I thought it was gonna be a release or something, kinda made me mad it wasnt:mad: Edited October 4, 2018 by bullitt757
Buzzles Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I would like to see this plane behind the stick, it looks like it already has a great amount of detail into it. And do what exactly? AWACS planes, just like tankers, have a mission profile which is basically just take off, fly massive circles for hours on end, land. Pretty boring from the pilot seat imo. A radar operator position would be neat for multiplayer to replace the existing CA/F10 slots that some people take up, but they'd probably not be enough usage or demand to warrant the cost of a full module for that.

Just because you dont have an interest in the aircraft doesn't mean others do not. From a "barney" as in break it down barney style for the slow ones, yea they fly around for hours but I mean com'on I have yet to see a boring online session that was actually meant for something. Plus, you could say the same thing about a bunch of other aircraft that just fly around. Most active aircraft just "fly around" unless in a deployment. Others have expressed interest and so do I.
Buzzles Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Just because you dont have an interest in the aircraft doesn't mean others do not. Conversely, I actually think it's a very interesting aircraft. I just don't think it's really that useful as a pilotable one in DCS. I'd rather ED leave the AI one as is, but make the radar operator an actual position that can be taken up by any client in MP. Same for the A-50 for the Redfor.

jafa Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 :thumbup: from me too , Eightball said all no need to say any more. Cheers Jafa [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Tobi1304 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 And if someone would do the E-2 Hawkeye they could even make the C-2 Greyhound which is very similar in some parts and we would get a carrier landing capable cargoplane. :) vCVW-17 / VF-74
Montes Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Flying an e2 can be very interesting for who we are not interested in fighting but to be part of the missions. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ebabil Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 this is a damn sexy plane to watch. even c-2 grayhound is ok for me if hawkeye too complex or too confidential FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5
Rescue Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 This and/or 5he S3-B makes far more sense and open possibilities than the Christian Eagle IMO.
