Devil 505 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) So I have not posted a Vietnam suggestion in a while, but after watching the short documentary below, WOW. ED really needs to bring the Bronco to DCS. Not only did it start in Vietnam and has since been flown in every major conflict, it still is being looked at to be used in the future. Every major conflict has seen it reinstated to the field. This is a perfect attack/recon aircraft to bridge a gap between Helo and Fighters. Not only that, the potential for multiplayer in this would be very exciting. A back seat spotter designating targets for Hornet or Viper drivers. The armament was pretty impressive and its short take off ability on virtually any surface makes this a prime candidate for all maps. Really hope to see this legend make it into DCS. Before anyone says it, yes I know Razbam has mentioned it and even had some screen shots of it, but I think it is on the shelf for awhile. They have their plates full with other projects. Let me know what you guys think about seeing the OV-10 makes its way to DCS. Edited May 20, 2021 by Devil 505 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangs Out Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 On the topic of OV-10 it is important to specify the variant. IMO, the most prolific and used variant , the OV-10A should be modelled .+1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterH Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Razbam did show multiple times some WIP images of a Bronco a few years ago. I remember them saying that it was a side project of one of their devs. I suppose there's still a chance of them completing it. I'd personally find OV-10 really cool in DCS. 2 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar98 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) +1 for an OV-10A I would also like an OV-10D for post Vietnam scenarios (mid-to-late Cold War 80s variant, though an OV-10A still fits here). I would like to throw in the YOV-10D, but it was only 2 prototypes, though it shares a lot in common with the OV-10D (just adding an M197 20mm rotary cannon in a turret). However, I'd happily take the OV-10A alone. It's kinda like a Cold War take on a Mosquito, though for light attack and observation, it's also a pretty decent counterpart to the IA 58 so it gets my vote.

Devil 505 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Glad to see the positive feedback. Great aircraft and believe it or not, I know a group of guys here that use to fly them and still maintain 3 static models here in Fort Worth, along with a massive list of other aircraft. Hope this becomes more than a side project at some point. It would be a ton of fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murgel Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I real would love to see her in DCS. There are so many missions which require a AFAC in order to be realistic. Also I would not go for the A-Version but a later one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordant Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I think personally if ED did the L-39, Razbam could do the OV-10 with great returns. Similar purposes, apart from training. It's an incredible airplane and I'd love to see it flying in DCS one day.

Eight Ball Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 "A Lonely Kind Of War" is a really nice book about a FAC flying OV-10 in Vietnam.

Devil 505 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Razbam was working an OV-10 and had it flying in game. From what I read awhile back, it was put on the back burner until they finish other projects. I am sure it will be coming at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCrash Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I have all the NATOPS for the OV-10A/D and aviation experience as well as experience in generating polars for airfoils, would be glad to help out to make an OV-10A/D.
