S-3B Viking

Day one buy for me. This would be a fantastic addition to DCS. I know some would not care for it, but seems to be time to expand DCS just a bit more...so either this or a C-130 variant would be quite excellent.

Yeah, continue asking for more toys to "fly" bozo without even reading the manual instead of asking for a better simulator. Virtual pilots ask for better ATC, better IA, better weather, more realism. Kids and fanboys ask for more planes in beta.

 

Just graduated from Dale Carnegie, eh??

It's Kongamato trying to sidestep his ban again. Third time round now ;) He has, shall we say... ''issues''?

Hmmmm… Interesting choice! I wonder how much stuff it did besides just burn circles in the sky looking for subs or tanking other jets. To me the only real appeal is the 4 player multi-crew, but I think it's pretty well established that the side-by-side cockpit arrangement doesn't work just yet in DCS, so we're prob limited to tandem cockpits only. To that I have to humbly disagree with Mr. Mule and say bring on the Tornado!

I'm a little confused. Why is a side-by-side seat arrangement more difficult to realise in DCS than a tandem arrangement?

 

P.S.: Yea, if given the choice I'd have the Tornado over the S-3 myself, too. Not to take away anything from the Viking, though.

+1 The S-3 would be a great addition to the fleets capability's. It would also be one of those unique airplanes that would attract new flight sim pilots to DCS that are not interested in combat roles but would be attracted to the aerial refueling, electronic warfare and surface surveillance roles. Even just having the S-3 implemented at first as a refueling tanker would be of great use as it would be the only flyable tanker and the only one ever capable of operating of an aircraft carrier in DCS.

It's more difficult because there are two people using the same cockpit and touching the same switches so there is much more stuff to sync.

This would be a first day buy for me for sure! I don't even see the need, or desire, for a multiplayer cockpit. For me, it gives the mission planner to ability to be much more flexible, or creative if he could use a human to provide the refueling services. :thumbup:

 

Not to mention the other roles it can perform, such as anti shipping!

What DCS lacks is a transport plane. F-16 was the last fighter I will buy.
