B-17/24/25

Any word on heavy bomber modules? Pretty sure I do not have to express the desire for these. I have not scene the subject brought up in a while. Had a gloomy day where I began missing Flying Fortress and taking off in the B-17.

On plans as AI unit with others WW2 assets, but not dates or new info about them.

 

B-25 has a medium bomber.

Baby steps guys. A heavy bomber really needs multiple crew positions, and right now, there’s still work to be done to get just 2 positions to be able to fully work as preferred.

Let’s see how the work on muliticrew for the F14, C101, L39 and choppers go first.

About "Pilot-able" bombers, ED only working on a Mosquito bomber, has unknown if a B-17/B-24 or B-25 coming to DCS, and ED will need first implement some functionalities.

 

I dont see "realistic" a heavy 10-11 crew bomber into DCS with 5-8 hour bomb mission times in the actual maps, a A-26, B-26, H-111, Ju-88 can be more feasible.

Yeah, tactical bombers and ground attack / multirole AC is what we'd need the most.

I understand the perspective of waiting on multi crew to be fleshed out, but the long hour flights I would tend to disagree on. You should try the old school B-17 Flying Fortress Mighty Eighth. The flights were a decent time, but no hours on end.

 

I think Jester will take a long ways when it comes to future multi crew functions. I think in the future Larger bombers will find there way into DCS, just like our Tomcat and Viper that is on the way.

A flyable B-25 would be welcome in my hangar.

 

One of THE most versatile aircraft in WWII.

No reason why the twin engine could not make it in at this time. As stated before, it looks like Jester is making leaps and bounds for AI RIO, Co-pilots, and BN's. It would be awesome to communicate on that level, especially the new voice activated stuff, with your gunners and co-pilot. They are already showed the video of Jester running through the start up checklist with the pilot.

+1 for B-17
