Devil 505 Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I think with the new Falklands map coming from RAZ and its size will start to show promise for heavy bombers. I know their will be criticism from the fighter jocks (I am one to) but I remember the days of Megafortress back on IBM. I really enjoyed the challenge of using each station. I know it was not realistic, but I got the same vibe from the Anubis C-130 mod. Hopefully that comes to a third party development at some time. It is only a matter of time before we start seeing bombers surface in DCS. Be it the Vulcan or B-52, I am thoroughly down for one of these modules and I think a lot of others will be to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkk01 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Interestingly, the recent Raz interview included a quip about doing the Black Buck raids on Stanley airfield... The audio wasn’t great, so the heavy sarcasm might have been imagined 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogster Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 It’s mostly overlooked but in 1960 the Vulcan and its advanced ECM suite made it a hot ship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sky_Shield Barnes Wallis and RJ Mitchell are household names in the UK but there’s no doubt Roy Chadwick was a quiet practical genius. The Vulcan was the star of UK air shows in the 70s going straight from takeoff to a full throttle ground shaking near vertical climb. Glorious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkickef Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The Vulcan is my number one favourite aircraft but I doubt most here would like it very much. Anyone who ever sat in the pilots seats will tell you that the cockpit windows are tiny and the view out is pretty appalling.

Goggz Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Sadly, there will never be a Vulcan in DCS, if only because there are no maintenance personnel left who understand the hydraulic control systems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogster Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Yes, I cant see it in DCS for the above reasons. A low level Blue Steel nuke attack does sound like fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar98 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The issue with the Vulcan is that for some inane reason the UK government classifies anything and everything about EW systems - even on platforms like the Vulcan, which left service in the early 80s!

joey45 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The EW suite wasn't that updated much from when it entered service till out of service, The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

And FWIW it did receive a significant update in the 80s with DASH 10, which is basically just an AN/ALQ-101.

MAXsenna Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I know the Marianas are not the Keys, but I bet you if the Vulcan ever came along, we would see a "Thunderball" remake. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfrag Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) To me, the Vulcan is a breed apart simply for its looks: there is no more elegant, graceful looking fighter plane than this. It's very presence seems to ooze poise, sophistication and confidence. No other plane, especially no US-built, can touch it. Not that looks ever mattered in warplanes (see Warthog), but still...
