Devil 505 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) On plans as AI unit with others WW2 assets, but not dates or new info about them. B-25 has a medium bomber. Edited February 18, 2019 by Silver_Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 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. System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse. Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 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.

msalama Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yeah, tactical bombers and ground attack / multirole AC is what we'd need the most. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 505 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 A flyable B-25 would be welcome in my hangar. One of THE most versatile aircraft in WWII.

Devil 505 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
