Get Some Heavies In: AC-130U and MH-53J Pave Low III

[freelancer2011]

Maybe it's time to bring-in some of the bigger planes and choppers. :) Either yourself or a 3rd-party developer.

 

And, in Multiplayer, you can have friends take on the various stations/roles within each aircraft: pilot, gunner, etc.

 

With the C-130, you can take it in various directions:

*KC-130 - for those wanting the need to just play a support role/providing fuel for others.

*WC-130 - it might not be such an exciting gig for some but each to their own :P ;)

*MC-130J Commando II - a mix of both of the above.

*HC-130J Combat King II - for those keen on logistics and if they don't deliver supplies to a remote AFB on time, they get the wrath of their online mates who can't continue with the mission until their supplies arrive. Think of it as a more critical version of the baggage handling process in MS FS :)

As much as I would like a C-130 variant to mess around with ED has fairly recently stated that they have no interest in doing any haavies or anything else that requires multiplayer that is more than two seats.

So it will pretty much be left up to the 3rd parties.

 

 

 

These topics are talked about in the first two questions in this interview.

+1 for the Pave Low!

Pave Low will be a nice answer to the Mi8, although the BlackHawk will probably be more appropriate. As for Fixed Wings, ED was clear indeed that it is not going to happen. DCS FW pilots just want to shoot and blow things up.

I think it has more to do with cpu demands of modelling 4 engines (especially with props) , customer demand , map sizes , etc .

[BaD CrC]

Ah ah. OK, that was a bit harsh maybe. :). Although I wonder what else you can do in a DCS FW. But I can't say I am flying them in DCS.
