Bozon Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 SBD is a rare case of an outdated plane that ended up punching 2 categories above its weight class. It is unbelievable that this plane served till the end of the war and was critical at all major PTO naval battles (that involves carriers). The other obsolete relic to achieve miracles is the Swordfish. Recent studies indicate that the terrible climb rate of the SBD was due to the giant brass balls of its pilots. I want this module for the coolness factor alone (yes it will be terrible in multiplayer...) 1 “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!

Patersonski Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I watched the new Midway movie the other day and in all the scenes where the SBDs are diving on the Japanese carriers, through clouds and flak, the back seat gunner trying to hold off the pursuing Zeroes, all I could think of was - damn, can't wait to do that in DCS! Rig: i7-6850K, Sapphire 6900XT, 32GB RAM, Asus X99-Pro board. Gear: VPC WarBRD/MongoosT-50 Stick, VPC MongoosMT-50 Throttle, VKB T-Rudders Mk.IV Pedals, HP Reverb G2.

Jester986 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Something cool about the Dauntless I just learned was it also served with the Army air corps in Pacific as the A-24 Banshee. It had a few modifications like different radios, a different tailwheel, and no arresting gear but was pretty much the same plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoho Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This would be fantastic. Loved playing with it in the old Pacific Fighters game, and would definitely get it if it came to DCS World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildwind Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 that rear pop gun wont hold off anyone hollywood lies will only cause you grief That "rear pop-gun" killed a fair number of Zeroes, historically. Remember, the Zero was completely unarmored. Even the cockpit. You didn't need a big gun to kill it. All you needed to do was actually hit it (which was the difficult part, as it was extremely maneuverable) If we ever get the Zero in DCS, some players are going to be shocked to discover how incredibly fragile it is.

ctguy1955 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I would also like to fly the SBD and dive bomb Jap carriers. I just hope the F4U comes out soon... I am happy to have recently learned about the dive brakes on the P-47, what a difference it makes !

danythunder14 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 If one day ED develops its own WWII aircraft carrier maybe we will have an IA SBD like the E-2 or the S-3 for the Nimitz class aircraft carriers. Wishlist : SBD Dauntless, F9F Panther, F6F Hellcat, TBF Avenger, USS Enterprise CV-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
