I have a new idea for ED..Please listen

[thesystem]

did anyone sya fighterops? How long are they allready just creating the game? Not even see real in game screens just renders and so on

[192nd_Erdem]

That'd be pretty boring. Here's a typical mission:

 

Take off.

 

Bomb some enemy in the mountains which you can't see.

 

Try to evade poorly launched Stinger, Redeye, Blowpipe missiles and maybe some AK fire.

 

Get back.

 

Meh!

actualy that not boring for them cause was a nightmare for many pilots and troops..when americans started helping the afgain with weapons etc and the stinger AA was not poorly at all was very efective and did shot down many low flying USSR planes if readed the reports of people who was there that time in that confliect.. death ratio was very high for both sides but if you havent knowen russia has lost 3 million troops and pliots in that war..

 

thats more then death ratio that americans had in vietnam exect for the MIA ones that still in vietnam prossibley but vietnam was a short war...Russia war kept fighting through 1968 to 1989 hehe heck body count... so picture this if was in that war dont think be most scareyest war in your life fight bunch of ghosts not knowening where enemy is and where he is hideing...

 

thats bloody scary they jump at you before even knew they were there...

 

 

thats what we did in world war 2 but we were still useing same tactics like samurai did fight to our deaths keep fighting to last no surrender and to die in battle is one greatest honor can give show family fight to your best life and death are the same...but war it self is the naturaly the enemy...wars never stop till earth is no more....

 

back to USSR and afgain...truely think this one that play the biggest part afther world war 2..lot stuff happening and someing never want tel your kids the horror pain that both USSR an afgain faced...

 

so think this would be a hughe huge leap for ED and BS take on something that can be reminding there past and herraged one last time...history not ment be forgotten it is ment to be relived isnt that why we like flying and the planes and stuff becuase of history....

 

what you think?

 

 

sorry type to long but need express my open mined brain...

 

i know us japanese history lovers but we do like what we do in life...

[zaelu]

Some parts of our history are meant to be forgotten... some should.

[nscode]

death ratio was very high for both sides but if you havent knowen russia has lost 3 million troops and pliots in that war..

 

actually, there were very few Russians in there...

The Russians lost three hundred helicopters in Afghanistan.

 

And more than a hundred fixed-wing aircraft.

 

. . . . I fail to see how that can in any way be described as a "boring" air war . . .

[Avimimus]

It might work! Both Nato and Russia have fought in Afganistan...

 

I would personally want to see a flyable hind...

[Avimimus]

 

. . . . I fail to see how that can in any way be described as a "boring" air war . . .

 

In addition there are a number of cases of helicopter pilots landing to reload in the field (in order to return to much needed attack missions sooner).

 

I also heard that the Soviet pilots were well known to dump most of their rations and replace them with heavy weapons in case they were forced down and fell under attack while awaiting rescue (the mujahideen were encouraged not to take prisoners...)

 

With the new infantry models one could get a great variety of counter insurgency missions goings.

[Brit_Radar_Dude]

I would be good to go for some Spratly Islands action, just for a change up. :D

ROFL - at least the map would be easy to make!!

Boring for a game, *like* flight sim. I'm not talking RL here, and maybe you shouldn't pull it offcourse.

 

And I fail to see how losses due to shoulder launched missiles and AAA fire can be described as an "air war". . . Was there even a decent dogfight occured?

 

Maybe a "fictional" scenario where US involves and we can get some decent action. But as it is, it's certainly not my interest.

[rogue_blade]

id say an Israeli campaign over anything. think about it nothing would be more fun. they see or have seen the most air to air action. they have f15's and f16's and before that had mirage III's and such! that would be truly amazing.

 

again i suggest an Israeli campaign before any other :thumbup:

The Falklands War didn't involve "a decent dogfight", but you can't deny it was a very serious air war . . .

 

You're taking a fighter-centric view. No, fighters didn't take part in Afghanistan . . . but that doesn't in any way mean that airpower wasn't a major and decisive tactical tool.

 

 

So while there may not be much for the fighter people to play with, the air-to-mud guys would have a ball with an Afghanistan sim . . . .

 

Time to reiterate, perhaps, that ED IS moving towards air-to-mud . . . . at least for a little while.

[192nd_Erdem]

Dunno, I see so little "mud-moving" opportunities for an Afghan map rather than a full-blown Balkans map with lots of countries and equipment involved.

 

Still, it's ED's choice. They'll have a one shot to make money.
