Northstar98 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 It's probably another 2-3 years down the line, the F-16C was teased in a very similar fashion to the Apache, and that was in the 2018 and Beyond video. Who know though, I imagine a fair bit of the technology was done on the -24P Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk. Terrains I own: South Atlantic, Syria, The Channel, SoH/PG, Marianas. System: GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX, AMD Ryzen 5 7600, Corsair Vengeance DDR5-5200 32 GB, Western Digital Black SN850X 1 TB (DCS dedicated) & 2 TB NVMe SSDs, Corsair RM850X 850 W, NZXT H7 Flow, MSI G274CV.

Nipil Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yet there are still some good news for us Soviet/Russian planes lovers on Russian section of ED Discord. Seems like early MiG-29 really is going to be done. Now that's the eagerly awaited module for me! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, I am disappointed knowing it's not something Eastern, but yet another American bird instead, of which we have had a lot in the previous years already. I guess people like me will have to wait much longer (till we are already dead and a little more, probably). This will be first dedicated blueforce attack helicopter. And a modern one at that. Redford for attack helicopters already had the ka50, and an upcoming mi24 from ED, so when it comes to eastern rotary wing, dcs certainly isn't lacking So no this isn't just another American bird.

lmp Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Depending on how you count the Gazelle, it could be the second one. It is going to be in a class of it's own in terms of capabilities. I still want the Hind more, but hey, at least it's not another JDAM truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Damn, I did not expect a Longbow. I thought we would just get the A-variant!

Snappy Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Well, certainly not brain-melting..Had hoped for something with fixed wings. Also don't see what the big "never been done before in DCS" is supposed to be? An attack helicopter for the blue side? We have helicopters, we have multicrew helicopters, we have attack helicopters,with the Mi-24 we will also have multicrew attack helicopters, so all done already. So its for blue and now what? Thats supposed to be the thing? It's not like blue side is already way over-represented in regards to "modern" aircraft. Good on the helicopter boys, but not interested in that, wont buy. Congrats to those who wanted it though. Regards, Snappy Edited December 18, 2020 by Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 So, looks like it's the Apache after all. A surprise, it was not. I wouldn't say I'm not interested, but it's not a priority for me, either. I am looking forward to the MiG-29, though. I liked the FC3 version, and would love to see it in full fidelity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Apache AH-64D "sigh" (thanks Wags for the hint) Will have to buy two again.... Thanks ED for an outstanding year and for melting my brain once or twice. (very nice clouds btw! can't wait to chase those. and: mooooo...)

Whoever says "My plane" via the radio menu ...will have their controls out of sync with the guy who was in control, and need to go through a lot of steps to do something that needs to be instant and, worse: which needs to be controllable by both parties at times. The problem here is that it can't just be one person at all times, at least not if it's done right. In your face! It turns out Huey looks exactly like I imagined.

lmp Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Yeah, the MiG-29 9.12 is certainly eagerly awaited by me. Especially if other Cold War jets follow. The 2000+ roster is pretty saturated now, considering all the aircraft that ED can't do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2000+ roster is pretty saturated now, considering all the aircraft that ED can't do. Yeah, that's the issue for me with post 2000s aircraft - we're probably never going to get peer contemporaries of a similar era. I think that going forward there should probably be a focus on mid-to-late Cold War aircraft and variants say from the mid-to-late 60s to early-to-mid 90s. 6 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Dragon1-1 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 TBH, I'm a bit disappointed ED went that way with multicrew, feels kind of like a half-measure. We'll see if it's any good, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if it's any good, I suppose. It caues… issues, for sure. Especially as far as not being able to hand over control properly if the pilot goes away, and the predicted problem with suddenly being handed control without warning. Funnily enough, that's pretty minor compared to the larger issue, though: it serves shockingly little useful purpose in the Huey (but that's more due to how its a secondary part of tertiary role, and the primary role has never worked remotely sensibly to begin with). ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.
