toni Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Hey guys, just starting a new post.Direct question to ED with your opinnions attachet. When the Supercarrier series is completed, would be feasible adding the last two, CVN 76, CVN 77 with all its differences ? Or by the other way, would have more sense a new Carrier from scratch? The CVN 78 would be brilliant I think. Also CVs from other navies are a good option, the old Kiev class for the red side, Moskva, french Clemenceau,.......

Swordsman422 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 If they were going to extend the class in any direction, rather they did the first three; Nimitz, Eisenhower, and Vinson. Reagan and Bush won't look right without a Superhornet to fly off of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky146 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Agreed. With F14s and F/A18C/d you really need vintage surroundings. Clevo P775TM1-G laptop with 9900K and RTX2080. Airliner pilot by day and keen simmer on days off. Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaeagle Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hey guys, just starting a new post.Direct question to ED with your opinnions attachet. When the Supercarrier series is completed, would be feasible adding the last two, CVN 76, CVN 77 with all its differences ? Whether its feasible is largely a question of effort vs. gain. Aside from multiple differences on the 3D model - especially for CVN-77(the hull, superstructure, mast etc), there is also the issue of the Reagan(CVN-76) and Bush(CVN-77) having a three-wire arrestor system, which would require modification to the systems' code. Since the module will provide(eventually) five different Nimitz class carriers, the question is why you would need more and if the required effort is worth the bother for two more. Or by the other way, would have more sense a new Carrier from scratch? The CVN 78 would be brilliant I think. Why exactly? - the flyable carrier aircraft(F/A-18C and F-14) we have in DCS have both been retired by now, while AFAIK the CVN-78 has yet to reach full operational status and the aircraft(F/A-18E/F/G and F-35C) slated to operate from it don't exist in DCS World even as AI entries. So if anything, I think your suggestion for CVs of other nations would be a better bet(and more interesting) although... Also CVs from other navies are a good option, the old Kiev class for the red side, Moskva, french Clemenceau,....... ...those have the same issue as with the Ford class - namely that we don't have any suitable aircraft for them in DCS world. In my opinion, it would be a much better idea to look at additional surface/subsurface combatants and support ships than just saturating the sim with more CV/CVNs.

Greekbull Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think we are getting plenty of Nimitz Class Carriers in this module. I would selfishly love to see a Payware addon of the Enterprise. But I think we will have plenty to play with in the Carrier module as is...

WOPR Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The Ford is very different from the Nimitz class. It’s not reasonable to expect that ship or class with this module. It would nice to be to be able to at least put the hull numbers for the entire Nimitz class on the ships even if they are only user skins for the carrier and deck crew and maybe even allow end users to set up different names in the mission editor for the ATC menu.

Raisuli Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 ED launches a capable Ford class before the US Navy does I don't get why everyone gets to twisted around the axle. The Navy launches carriers into early access, then adds features (weapon elevators, the ability to launch aircraft) as development proceeds. EA charges tens of dollars for their EA, the Navy charges tens of billions for theirs. Seems to be ED wins by orders of magnitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rates up there with the "Sim fighter pilots are better than real fighter pilots" statement someone made a bit ago. I'm going to go lay down now.

Real Fighter Pilot: Will fly in (almost) any weather condition Sim Fighter Pilot: Has the power to control weather Real fighter pilot: Spends months at a time away from home defending their family Sim fighter pilot: Escapes their family for a few hours at a time to play a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FORD class is still Classified, and as of Right now, Broken in Real Life. It has so many bugs to work out with just the Catapults and Arresting gear it's not funny.

G B Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The Ford has overcome many of those issues lately. A number of CQ events have taken place aboard the Ford recently. It's not perfect, but it's not the old stories of doom and gloom anymore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
