Mike Force Team Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 How about adding anti-maritime and anti-shipping missions? What about enabling the F-1 to carry Harpoon missiles? What about creating a sea mine laying capability? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLTeo Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Aerges said somewhere on YT that they would like to include Exocets at some point, so we're definitely getting anti-shipping missiles. Sea mine laying seems less likely since it would probably require lots of work on ED's sight (and idk whether they had that capability in the first place). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonerCat Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I'd be happy if we get the exocet, but harpoons are a no-no. Never operated on the aircaft (afaik). As for mine laying, yeah, unlikely. I m gonna remain optimistic for the ASM's 3 Modules: F-14, F-15C, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B N/A, MiG-29, Su-33, MiG-21 Bis, F-5E, P-51D, Ka-50, Mi-8, Sa 342, UH-1H, Combined Arms Maps and others: Persian Gulf, Syria, Normandy, WWII Assets, NS 430 + Mi-8 NS 430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0uisc Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I would like to see AZ and CZ versions with an Angola 1980 map. For those who do not know, the Z variants were South African export versions, and they saw extensive combat in the conflict on Angola's southern border. The AZs did low level supersonic ingress strike missions and the CZs did escort for the AZs and other planes, like recon Canberra bombers. Their main adversary was the MiG 21 flown by Cuban pilots, although they probably also went up against MiG 17 and MiG 19s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't engage very much because the South Africans didn't want their limited supply of planes and munitions to dwindle for what was kinda considered a minor conflict, and on the other hand the Cubans helping the Angolians it seems were generally not keen to put pilots and equipment into to much risk, the south Africans as a result never used there more modern missiles, and once they faced MiG 23s with front aspect missiles they took to avoiding them and attacking at low altitude.

L0uisc Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Yes, the weapons boycotts of the 80s made airframes almost more valuable than gold. They couldn't afford to lose any. The South Africans developed their own short range IR missile to replace the unobtainable Magics. I don't know if they were used at all though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB can send to ED and implement them into DCS. Well the Type 148 Tiger [La Combattante IIa] should have MM38 Block I, instead of the incorrect RGM-84D that it has now, fairly sure BIGNEWY mentioned that they'll do the Exocet in Discord when I mentioned it, but no timeline yet. EDIT: Here's the link. Though regarding the F1, I'm not too sure about having Exocets on aircraft that never had Exocet; if we had an F1EQ-5/6, sure thing. That's if they're going for specifically Spanish Mirages (which would seem to be the case seeing as they are specifically Spanish variants).

Baco Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Within the constrains of rigid DCS traditions of down to nuts and bots realism, OK no. But It would be really, really interesting to have an incarnation of an Exocet missile in game that is not a MOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral_ZIPANGU Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Even as a Japanese, I would never mistake "F-1" here for a Mitsubishi build. I'm rather surprised that there are people overseas who know about Mitsubishi F-1. That aside, ever since the MirageF1CR appeared in the trailer video, I've been anticipating the arrival of an operable reconnaissance mission plane. Making bombing effect determinations from a reconnaissance aircraft's camera would make the missions even more fun. 1 Phantom Forever F-4EJ / F-4EJ Kai 1971-2021 Sorry, I don't speak English, so I use DeepL Translate.

Bananabrai Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I would also rather finally see a RECCE plane in DCS , than have the Exocet, even though I like ASMs a lot. Getting something entire new, a game changer, that would be so cool. Alias in Discord: Mailman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krez Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 An Exocet is possible given that the Harrier we have in game has a Maverick it never mounted or used IRL. So a precedent has already been set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's talking about a specific model of Maverick that in game we can use, but was never one of the actual varieties available in real life.
