AI aircaft ED MUST have redone with the release of this map

[FoxOne007]

Marianas ofc has the large bomber base on Guam, but with the current state of some AI aircraft it would almost be better not populating it than placing horrible Lock On quality AI aircraft. IMO the following AI aircraft MUST be redone when ED releases this map:

 

 

- B-52H (Obviously)

- B-1B (Obviously)

- C-17A

- S-3 (carrier ops)

- SH-60B/F (carrier ops)

- Tu-95

- Tu-160

 

 

And also add the following aircraft:

- B-2A (an obvious must)

- KC-10 (larger tanker to support all USAF assets with more fuel)

- EA-6B Prowler (carrier ops)

- P-3C (for sub hunting, so some actual working subs would be appreciated too)

- C-5 Galaxy (to make airbases in general a bit more filled up with realistic transports)

 

 

 

Let's hope ED takes note and does work on these assets

TBH Id rather just see an EA version than wait for new AI models I may not use

[Ala13_ManOWar]

I believe S-3 and SH-60 are being redone at this moment due to supercarrier ops.

 

 

S!

[BIGNEWY]

We have plans to improve many older models.

 

It just takes time and hard work.

[FoxOne007]

Alright, looking forward to seeing these new and improved assets!

[Northstar98]

I wouldn't say it's necessarily a must. Nice to have? Absolutely definitely.

 

That said, the old models are long overdue an update, it would also be good if the weapons loadouts were updated where applicable, as well as some of the weapons (namely the GBU-27 and AGM-86).

 

Would definitely like a P-3 but at the moment, while lots of improvements have been made to submarines (they can actually dive and in some cases shoot), there's still a long way to go, even just with the basics; so at the moment, I feel that DCS maybe isn't ready for ASW aircraft yet, especially since like 80% of its stores aren't implemented (especially depth bombs and sonobuoys, even if the latter just sits there bobbing around not doing anything).

Working AI KC10, AI C5 and AI P3 also already in the excellent Military Aircraft Mod if you are not averse to Mods.

Yeah I am aware but from personal testing the KC-10 doesn't function properly and it only just a prop, and so are the C-5 and P-3, they're nice as props but it would be nicer to have them properly functional in DCS natively so no one has to download such important and imo essential aircraft (besides maybe the C-5) as mods. I think all current aicraft in MAM should be 100% part of the game by default, so that LHA's and CVN's can have their proper assets along with any land base

OP, you may forget that Syria is from third-party, they may not have luxury to sit on a finished product until someone updates the old AI models and/or adds new ones.

 

Which coincidentially brings me to a point I just had the other day, I think the reason beta releases feel so rough is because they don't want to sit on much and just get it out ASAP, just as people wanted ... but not necessairly works in practice as we seen.

 

 

Anyway, Tu-22M and Il-76 (+ fully animated cargo-rack paradrop!!! one day) is my vote here :)

Well then it's a good thing he is talking about the free Marianas map that ED is making and not Syria by Ugra Media... ;)

Meh the Tu-22M3 looks decent enough, maybe some minor tweaking around the engine area, unless you mean adding an older Tu-22M2 variant.

 

The Il-76 on the other hand could do with some work, as could the A-50 Mainstay.

I mixed the threads up sorry ... doing too much at the same time, right this moment I was in the process of closing down the freaking tabs and windows I have allover the place, busy busy.

By the logic above, the S-3 would have been updated with the Super Carrier.

and the SH-60B...:D

It is going to be updated though, isn't it?

[Worrazen]

Well, pretty much all the AI's would be need of some touchup due to the need by the new damage model, I'm not sure if all of that could be glued onto the new models.

Yes it is being updated along with the new In Flight Refuelling psychics.

[Andartu]

and the SH-60B...:D

 

 

 

I think it would be totally ok to draw a big red circle around the whole thing :D
