Next theaters and aircraft

[The Falcon]

The F-16 one of the toughest planes

and the place where the battleship BISMARK sank.

 

YES please a Rio de la Plata Map! LOL ;):D:joystick::music_whistling::music_whistling::music_whistling:

For me I think it would have to be the Baltic Sea, around 1980-1990s

 

This map is humongous, probably too big, sitting currently at around 700,000km^2 of which approximately 300,000 of that is water. This is pretty much twice as big as NTTR, though again, much of this map is water

 

 

Includes:

 

• North Germany - including Lagge and Schleswig air bases
  
• Northern Poland - including Malbork and Świdwin air bases
  
• All of Denmark - so including Karup and Skrydstrup air bases
  
• Southern Norway, including Rygge airbase, I believe there are other reserve air bases around the region.
  
• Much of southern Sweden - including bases for Skaraborg (F 7) and Blekinge (F 17) as well as bases for Västgöta (F 6), Scania (F 10), Bråvalla (F 13) and even Göta (F 9) and Södertörn (F 18) air force wings (these have bases with hangars built into the terrain if I'm not mistaken though since the 70s not in use, still would be fun to have though).
  
• All of Kalingrad Oblast and it's associated air bases (Chernyakhovsk and Kaliningrad Chkalovsk air bases)
  
• Estonia - (Ämari air base)
  
• Roughly half of Lithuania - (Šiauliai air base)
  
• Latvia - I've just managed to squeeze in Lielvārde air base
  

 

As well as the plethora of military installations present, presumably plenty of highway strips present as well as naval bases and radar stations.

 

Plenty of potential for this map, there's enough land area to facilitate ground based warfare, but obviously the focus is on naval and amphibious warfare. Although to get the full experience from this map, proper implementation of amphibious warfare would have to probably come, as well as perhaps proper underwater implementation to facilitate submarines and their weapons, as well as naval mines.

 

Obviously a tonne of assets would probably be necessary for this map, chiefly ships, but also coastal defense and RADAR systems. Not to mention MPAs and other military aircraft not already present as AI units.

 

Yes it would be heaven, no doubt about that. BUT, i believe the tech is not there yet, no PC could run this map in a reasonable manner, and it would take over 5 or more years to make. The population density in that area is huge compared to Georgia, the sheer amount of huge modern cities in that area, (specially capitals with landmarks and iconic places) is just too vast.

 

I believe that if a Nordic map is to be made, it should be small, Or with very low detail (witch we know ED won´t accept doing), or cover a smaller less populated area like Murmansk, and the north of Finland, you could have enough water for carrier operations and trying to top the red fleet from exiting to the Atlantic on the north, and a set of several important Russian and Finnish bases.

 

Or a map centered on the Baltic Sea With Gotland on the North, down till Gdansk, include Kalingrad, and teh coast of finland.

 

I would love a Golf of Finland map, but modeling St. Petersburg and Helsinki alone would take for ever ;)

For me, there are two no brainer maps that need to be built for DCS. The first is the Korean Peninsula and the second is a map of South East Asia to include Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.

 

The Korean theater, in particular, is very useful for present day "what ifs" ans well as the Korean conflict and even back as far as WWII. The same could also be said of the SEA map. The aircraft that we presently have for Korea, F-86, Mig-15 and P-51 are almost all we'd need for the Korean Conflict and the F4U Corsair is on the way - albeit the wrong model for that period - I certainly wouldn't let it spoil my enjoyment of recreating that period. A straight deck carrier of just about any class would be acceptable also.

 

There is an Essex class carrier with an angled deck in the pipeline coming from the Community A-4E project and Heatblur is going to be releasing a handful of Forestal class CVs that will go with an SEA map, not to mention the previously mentioned A-4, an A-6 coming from RAZBAM and there is a very good rumor floating around that The F-8 Crusader will be coming sometime from the folks that brought us the Mig-21. Oh yeah, did I mention that we have a Mig-21? and the F-4 Phantom is also coming. And let's not forget about all the helicopters we have to play with!!

 

The F-16 will also be coming out to dominate the skies of Korea as well! :thumbup: To quote a pretty good band of a few years back, "The future's so bright, I've got to wear shades!" :pilotfly:

Yep :(

 

Even if you chose a 1970-1990 era to model...
