Buznee Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Some suggestions.... We should definately focus our choices on the application of the aircraft in the campaigns as well as being able to work well with the other DCS aircraft in multiplayer. As for helicopters, how cool would it be to have some CSAR (combat search and rescue) You gotta work with your crew (was it the jump master?) letting you know how to move in hover. little to the left, little forward, hold your hover, hold your hover, while your getting shot at and then you have the a-10s and other aircraft doing support. And then your winch gets stuck and you gotta use your backup and you got the jungle penetrator or basket used to rescue the downed pilot? While you also have a gunner keeping things clear in the trees. Then after recovering the downed pilot you lose an engine etc. How cool would it be to be flying a blackhawk. You could do CSAR, medivac, or you can arm it with some guns and rockets. Many interesting campaigns with something like UH-60 or a UH-1. I seriously think having CSAR ops would make DCS even more unique and appealing. As for fixed wing...Naval ops would be great. What about the old navy hotrod, the A-4 Skyhawk? I think we definately need a carrier ops aircraft. Or how about the coolest turboprop, the OV-10 Bronco.
congo Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I think a FAC aircraft would be neat as hell, OV-10 or Mohawk, Fly out and spot the enemy, radio their coordinates and wait for the heavys to arrive.
diveplane Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 time for a twin seater jet. su30 or the f15E strike eagle. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
Gael Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Did somebody notice it's 2009? C'mon, F-16 should be at the Smithsonian next to the Tomcat (I know I'll die for this but I'm drunk :P). I would like to see modern warfare, not 35 years old aircrafts from the cold war. I vote for Eurofighter, Su-35 or F-22.
Grodin Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 #1 F-18 / AH-1 #2 F-15 / AH-64 #3 F-16 / Hind Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

Get the flight and systems and weapons manuals for them and its a done deal ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

Exactly I highly doubt the good people at the US department of defense are about to give the detailed workings of their newest fighter hehehe. Wish lists are great, but I'd be happy to have any plane/chopper DCS decides to move forward with if it gives me the playability of the KA-50. Love it
verana_ss Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I voted for F-16 but from others post(not in this thread), product line has been already determined therefore sadly, these questionnaires cant shake ED members heart :cry:
Sanch0 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Most wanted DCS airplane? hmm I waiting for any fighter... :joystick: PVAF "A fighter without a gun... is like an airplane without a wing" dedicated to F-4 Phantom
the_pantman Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 English Electric Lightning.... Except I suppose it wouldn't be much use except for blasting around on a joyride, so I would go for any model of Harrier, Tornado or Jaguar. Would also love to see a super etandard or a Mirage 2000.
Eddie Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Mud hen. Multi-engine, multi-role & twin seat. The way forward.
dragonhammer Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I think the Harrier or Tornado would be an excellent choice. For one they are older planes so its easier to get the technical details. The "newer" planes like F18 are still covered with a veil of secrecy, wich results in a sim with ALOT of guess work and thus unrealistic. The second point is that those planes are not crammed full with computers so its easier to implement in the state the sim is now.

AFAIK the Tornado features lots of up to date systems that are, to this day, classified (at least the upgraded versions do). Edited January 10, 2009 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Sunjah Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I think the Harrier... I've always thought that was a cool plane. Vertical take off if needed, that is sweet! The F-35 is supposed to have a variant that does that as well; both the Navy and Marines of the USA are buying something like 350 each. It looks like a really cool fighter! F-35 Lightning II {check it out} Remember, on Nov. 4th, vote for Black Shark for President!!!
Boulund Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Something that I as a swede would love to see is JAS 39 Gripen NG. Along with some proper small roads with "flygrakor" (road-side emergency airbase) on them to give the perfect JAS-feeling ;) Core i5-760 @ 3.6Ghz, 4GB DDR3, Geforce GTX470, Samsung SATA HDD, Dell UH2311H 1920x1080, Saitek X52 Pro., FreeTrack homemade cap w/ LifeCam VX-1000, Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.

barrypotter Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Tornado. Awesome fun plane that 1. Anyone who has played Tornado by Digital Integration will know what I am talking about.
Yskonyn Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I'd go for the Harrier on nr 1. We already have a great helo module so vertical takeoff characteristics are possible I'd say and the aircraft is a technical marvel and would be *very* cool to operate in a full detail sim. Then the Hornet because I loved my time with Jane's sim! Then the F-16 to get all the Falcon doodz in here so we have a nice big family of simmers duking it out with eachother with the different modules. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Asus Z390-E, 32GB Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz, Intel i7 9700K 5.0Ghz, Asus GTX1080 8GB, SoundBlaster AE-5, G15, Streamdeck, DSD Flight, TM Warthog, VirPil BRD, MFG Crosswind CAM5, TrackIR 5, KW-908 Jetseat, Win 10 64-bit ”Pilots do not get paid for what they do daily, but they get paid for what they are capable of doing.

Kodiak Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Im waiting for the AH-64 (2-seater = coop?) and would like to see the Harrier too. Would be very hard to Hover with that thing.

That would be my choice as well. The Harrier would be a cool idea as well. That is definitely something I would like to try in a realistic sim. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Call Sign: Warhammer
