equinox137 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Not a complaint, but just curious... Does anyone know why the Reagan subclass carriers (i.e. CVN-76 and CVN-77) aren't modeled in DCS Supercarrier? For that matter, how come the Ike and the Nimitz aren't either?

LORD FLASHEART Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Reagan onwards have a ‘bulbous bow’ design which makes the hull different in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Reagan has a ship class [Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), George H.W. Bush (CVN-77)], as the actual Gerald R. Ford CVN class [Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), John F. Kennedy (CVN 79), Enterprise (ii) (CVN 80), Doris Miller (CVN 81), CVN 82]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Yeah, down the road a second SC focusing the Ford class with the Super Hornet would be stunning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger22 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I think we should have gotten the Big E and Nimitz, they provide a much larger range of scenario for what is coming to DCS. 5 "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."

Paladin1cd Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Gunslinger I thought that as well given the time frames we have for airframes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reagan and Bush also employ a different 3-wire arrestor system, which I guess could be a bigger problem - i.e. not just a 3D issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin1cd Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'm not against this addition, but honestly I'd rather have carriers for the planes we have. By the time the Bush was serving we didn't even have Tomcats. If we had a Superhornet sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaeagle Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yeah the Roosevelt subclass really should be sufficient for "modern" US carrier ops - spanning from the mid-80'ies to present day. For this resources would IMO be much better spent on diversification of escort ships(such as a Flt. 1 Arleigh Burke- and a Spruance class) as well as a replenishment ship(like the Henry J. Kaiser class). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Personally, if we were to get more carriers (which seems unlikely), I'd rather go for the Nimitz subclass, it's a bit more appropriate for our aircraft and we can get a replacement for the Flanker 2.5/LOMAC CVN-70. The Ronald Reagan subclass is certainly era appropriate (for the Hornet at least) and best fits the Marianas map, but personally, the Nimitz subclass is more appealing, due to it being a bit more appropriate for our selection of aircraft. As for our current ships, they're in a mid-to-late 2000s configuration due to IBPDMS Sea Sparrow (as opposed to ESSM), RAM Block 1 and Phalanx Block 1B. I'm with Sea Eagle in that an Arleigh-Burke Flight 1 would be great (especially seeing that the current Standards lack their secondary AShM mode that they have IRL, and due to our current Flt. IIA being a hybrid of different ships) and an auxillary ship such as a Supply-class fast combat support ship, and an Henry J. Kaiser replenishment oiler.

Tank50us Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Personally, I'm all for having more carriers, regardless of class. But that's just me and my attitude towards the game. I will not say no to new things being added, no matter how new or whacky it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
