thaihorse Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi. Don't exactly where to post this but the reason Im posting is just to make a suggestion. I would like to see a simulation for the F4 phantom some day. Your list of planes wouldn't be complete without this beloved and classic design. And while youre at it I would also like to see a complete model of the AH64 Apache helicopter. It would be great to see these soon. Thanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester986 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Try the wishlist subforum under the 2.5 forum. Also F-4 was being worked on but it got put on indefinite hold. There was an attempt a long time ago to do an Ah-64 but news on it stopped and we haven't heard anything official. Unofficially it seems like they still want to do one but there is some sort of roadblock. Either module is years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Gee Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 You'd think with having their very own carrier module, having more possible modules to interact with it, such as a F-4J series Phantom, would be planned. Not sure if any of the TR subclass carriers had Phantoms on them, but the earlier ones did. Perfect chance to re-package the current/soon to be old Stennis into a re-branded Nimitz/Phantom package to open 2022 with.

FlankerKiller Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 +1000, DCS F-4E really needs to be a thing. I don't really understand why the big push for the forth gens. Without full fidelity 4th gen Russian counterparts the online arena is crippled. But F-4s , F-14s, A-7s, A-6s, F-15As, Ah-1Qs, tangling with Mig-21, 23,25s, Su-17s, and Mi-24s now that would have been interesting. Lots of FOX1 and FOX2 action. Lots of getting in close for CAS. But I'm off topic, the F-4E needs to be taken off the back burner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evoman Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Last I heard about the F-4 was that work had began on its development but it was put on hold to do the F-16 first since there had been a huge crying/demand for the Falcon. Eagle Dynamic said they would pick back up development once they got the F-16 and F/A-18 squared away along with other projects in development like the P-47 and and Mi-24. By the way the particular model that was in development was the F-4E. https://belsimtek.com/news/1787/ Edited January 29, 2020 by Evoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester986 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hopefully they'll put out a full fidelity F-15 and we can put the teen series behind us and get to the more interesting planes. Rest assured though when a Phantom comes out I'll be flying it on the Iranian side Bug hunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Low Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Yes, I would love an F-4, especially the carrier version. And as another user mentioned, we need a dcs vietnam to go along with it: map, units, missions, skins, and of course a dynamic campaign. Dcs should focus on Vietnam era once it gets the 18 and 16 completed. It's the best way to move forward given protected info surrounding many 4th gen aircraft and obviously 5th gen. Edit: think of all the aircraft yet to be made that are from that era and which could be used in a Vietnam map. Aside from several migs for redfor, bluefor has F-4, F-8, A-7, A-6, A-1E, FU?? The corsair... , and ED could license the community A-4 and finish fleshing it out. When was the ah-64 first flown? Near the end of Vietnam or after? You might be able to stuff the apache in there too Edited January 29, 2020 by Relic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlankerKiller Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Yea, the uh-1 was there to put big smoking holes in stuff before the ah64 came around The Ah-1. Although there was a UH-1 that had 4 flex mounted M-60s, rocket pods, and a freaking 40mm grande launcher on its nose. And do not forget the Loch. Vietnam would be cool beyond belief. Back when you could actually put fly a missile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodak Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Look on the plus side, these last few releases have really raised the bar in fidelity and quality. There's plenty of SME's for them with great published information, as the sim building steam roller gets its gears in full motion we should end up with far higher quality early gen builds as a result. Success on one end normally transmits to the other. From my viewpoint the frequency of releases has really picked up steam, thinking we're on the hi side of complexity, there's a great chance the gravy days are coming for the early stuff as a flood. We'll soon see it in how WWII kicks off with a proper map or two with a couple more airframes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have no idea what the "eagerly anticipated" module might be, but people have been wanting a 4th gen red air for a while.

Baco Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I agree with flankerkiller, I believe that the Phantom II would have been out, compleated and in ifs full glory in a year an a half, instead they are still fighting with 4+ and 5th gen uber planes after three years... Yeah they sold a ton, now they need to sell "whatever" to finance finishing what they already sold. The F-4 does not need new systems, weapons or complicated new modes... Everything it needs is working allready perfectly on the F-5. Well yeah multicrew, they gave us the Huey with the promis and here we are still... ED should have done the Phantom II, the Crusader, the Corsair II, Thuds, instead of half (if lucky) baked teen series.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F4 fills a huge hole in the CW arena since almost everyone flew F4's of one sort or another. The 104 is the only other blue CW plane that saw as much use IMO, until you get to the F16A but that was only for the last few years of the CW. It would be great if they did it, since we already have or will have most of the migs, all that red would need at that point would be decent striker and clicky CAS.
