RaTzo Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I would absolutely love to see a CH-124 Sea King in the game. Now that submersibles are finding their way in we need to add ASW into the mix. While I'm personally partial to the CH-124A variant, it could begin with the B models which use the same sorts of systems used on fixed wing ASW aircraft. I have expertise on both these airframes MAD, SONO, and SONAR systems. Would be willing to consult.

Blackjack_UK Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Nearly 3000 hours on Sea Kings, though Commando variant rather than a pinger. Happy to consult as well... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Capn kamikaze Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 You can sort of simulate ASW with fixed wing aircraft like the S-3 using the ground attack option, drop a bomb like a Mk-82 from the bomb bay as a stand in for a torpedo, use bomb in zone to set a flag, then set a trigger based off that flag using "time since flag" with say a 30 second delay, and then use explode unit to blow up a submerged submarine nearby. It looks fairly realistic.

ED incoming the Mine bomb on F/A-18C Hornet -Mk-40 Destructor Sea Mine -Mk-63 Quickstrike Sea Mine That can be efective vs ships and submarines, that can be add to S-3, not strangle ED add ASW torpedoes on ships, helos and aircraft on a future, as Depth charges.

Evoman Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 It seems like the new current DCS ecosystem of expanded naval operations is really going to make the S-3 Viking capabilities very useful. The S-3 would be be the only aircraft that can do anti-submarine warfare, aerial refueling, surface surveillance, surface warfare and electronic warfare. And on top of that it can operate off carrier decks. It even has a built in APU capable of unassisted starts.
Mr_Burns Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Is anyone discussing building an S-3, they can even do VIP escorts: You can decide what VIP stands for!
