FalcoGer Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 I'd really like to see an E8 in the game alongside the E2/E3 AWACS, flown by AI and providing information of ground target locations for tasking. Obviously they'd need to know what the tasking is to provide such information and not just give any old truck because it's nearby while your job is to locate and destroy a convoy. Until such logic is there, they could provide enemy positions on the F-10 map, maybe even just as generic vehicles without information as to what they are. Or for platforms which support it provide data-link targeting information. For those who do not know, an E-8 is basically an AWACS for ground units. It has a huge air to ground radar antenna strapped underneath the fuselage and can pick up and track ground vehicles over large distances. 2

Would be nice to also have an AI controlled RC-135 that does the same thing but with radar emissions. -Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

Weasel Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Especially when we get a dynamic campain it would be glad if we get an E-8 Joint Stars or an RC-135
Dun_Aenghus Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 +1. They even had a Joint-Stars back in Jane's F-15 which functioned quite well so could be manageable. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
FlankerKiller Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I too would love to see the J pig in game, but for a different reason. I want to kill it, everyday. I want to saw it’s wings off with guns, to blow it too smithereens with missiles, to ram it in half with my own jet! But for real it would be great with a data link, and as an AFAC. They gotta get that whole air to ground radar thing figured out first though.
