grafspee Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I think Spitfire has the lowest induced drag among all warbids in DCS. Spitfire's engine has more power then p-51's engine because lower supercharger gear ratios. Additional to this Spit is just light plane, just about the same as Bf109. IMO everything looks ok. If you pump 18lbs at take off this bird is flying :) Edited May 8, 2020 by grafspee System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmek Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Well, to be honest i think that ED and The Fighter Collection together have enough expertise and references to the real planes. It would be good to have a bit more solid facts than "I have never flown one" but "it doesn't feels right" before asking others to review their work. http://fighter-collection.com/cft/ F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk.

If you all say it's fine then I'll rest my case as I dont have time/commitment to do real tests on it. I'm just amazed sometimes at the things she can do from low energy and then the almost instant-takeoff... really? :) Kein Anderer als ein Jäger spürt, Den Kampf und Sieg so konzentriert.

71st_AH Rob Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 If anything the impression I get of the Spitfire is that it is too heavy. Watch one take off in person and it takes of like a startled cat, the tail in in the air in a few feet and the aircraft is airborne far sooner than I can get it off the ground safely on the Normandy map.

saburo_cz Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Tree reasons IMHO. ED does not manage their business according to someone promises. Aviable data sources. Money, the F6F has better potential to make money than the A6M. p.s. i would personaly prefer the A6M :) and btw. intewrview with Nick Gray, the F6F is one of his favorite airplane ... thats is my reason why i think why the F6F is possible candidate for next WWII DCS module F-15E | F-14A/B P-51D | P-47D | Mosquito FB Mk VI |Spitfire | Fw 190D | Fw 190A | Bf 109K | WWII Assets Pack Normandy 2 | The Channel | Sinai | Syria | PG | NTTR | South Atlantic F/A-18 | F-86 | F-16C | A-10C | FC-3 | CA | SC | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorhuhn Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) We already have two Fw-190 variants ... honestly, I would prefer a totally new aircraft, for example a Stuka, or a soviet fighter, like the La-5 or Yak-9 I am going with the Jak-9. But we defenetly need a Zero and P-40. ... a Pearl Harbor 1941 Map... and WW2 Assets Pack Update with USS Arizona and so on ... For the Zero a japanese aircraft carrier. Landing and starting with a warbird from carrier... awesome ... ... a WW2 Supercarrier module with Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, Hiryū, Shōkaku, and Zuikaku and some US Carriers of course. In my opinion more priority then Jak-9. But Jak-9 also priority of course.

Al-Azraq Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 My money is on a 109 G-6 that has been hinted lately by ED (I am leaving out the already announced planes). After that, I think that they are going to develop Battle of Britain, I am sure that Nick and Nineline are eager to visit that escenario.

WinterH Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 From what we know: - Outside of ED, Magnitude 3 is working on a Corsair - ED will still probably do the Me 262 at some point - Nick Grey said that Hellcat will happen at some point - Nick Grey has apparently also said that Battle of Britain aircraft (early Spitfires and Hurricane, Bf-109E) will be done at some point too, hopefully. - Same goes for the Bf-109G-6 it seems, which, as a life long 109 lover, happens to be the only variant that I don't care for in the least :P but I get it, most produced and all :P I think depending on how Corsair goes, we can expect Magnitude 3 to do more as well, perhaps like a Wildcat or Zero, they are at least making an AI model of Zero as far as we know. That's think, all the potentially upcoming WW2 aircraft we know of right now. If OctpusG decides to stick around, and make a second module, we may see another warbird from them perhaps, I certainly did like their I-16 :).

The A6M5 Zero would be very limited in scope. After introduction of the F6 and F4U, the Zero was pretty much fresh meat in any fight.

Yeaaaahhh, nope, sorry. It's widely known and historically accepted that Chennault's flying Tigers never, ever, faced a single Zero in their whole time in China mainland. Zeroes were naval planes and FT fought IJA aeroplanes, hence Ki-43s only though it's understandable they said it was Zeroes since in the air there's not much of a difference in shape and details. Propaganda aside, they did not combat Zeroes and their combat record wasn't bad but less stellar than said, sorry. Anyway, my point is, I would definitely like to see a DCS level Zero at some point which would be the perfect match for the Corsair and Hypothetical Hellcat down the road, and despite the difference in performance which I wouldn't deny is there, even with the current WWII planeset it's pretty much obvious how much a combat result depends on the pilot and not only raw performance. Not to mention the historical outnumbering isn't a thing in online servers. Should it be so dramatic as you say, the Spit IX would be always a sitting duck (which was also 'predicted' by some people) and despite the most ominous predictions it didn't really happen. Same would probably apply for the Zero. Anyhow, I believe it's easier we don't see a DCS Zero (expected IA aside) due to lack of performance and wind tunnel data not to mention real pilots to speak with than it not happening because planeset balance.
