The F-5E never was a big player outside of Third World Countries . Basically the same with the F-1. It was not a big player outside of the 3rd world and only saw service with France as the only Western country to use it which it did see combat in the late 80's into the 90's with them. I know there is a MiG-23 module in the works which would be a great addition but I would like to see more Western aircraft. The reality is with the F-105 ( after giving it much thought) we will never see it because its only combat was Vietnam and we will never get a Nam map for DCS. At least I do not see that happening in my life time. I don't expect to see a Vietnam map either as it will be a system killer. However any Cold war gone hot scenario from 1958 to 1984 would have involved the Thud. DCS is a sand box, and looking at our current map set, I think Eagle took that term a little too literally. So if you think Eagle and the other developers should focus on the aircraft used in the current theaters, that would be fine. However we still need AI aircraft and more theaters.

Marsvinet Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 A Thud is one of the aircraft I would like the most for DCS. An aircraft that went into combat so hard and so long that half the fleet was lost. Who would not want something like that simulated? Especially since in many ways it is a 20 year older Viggen, with all the quirks that come with trying to cram as much brand new technology as possible into the airframe. The Phantom may be the well known Vietnam era aircraft, but the Thud carried the torch for many years before the Phantom started bombing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upyr1 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 We have flight manuals. So we need to find out more about using the radar I think we could do a community mod for the b. If we use the standard flight model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
