Mike Force Team Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 Can ED add united states coast guard ships and cutters?
Tank50us Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 More ships period have been requested for a while now, ranging from both the small ships like the CSCG ships, all the way to the Iowa-Class. However, in the meantime some modders like @Admiral189 have been modeling these very ships and putting them in the game.
Mike Force Team Posted December 6, 2021 Author Posted December 6, 2021 Ok. Thanks for the response. When I see the Super Carrier Mod, I anticipate more ships would be forthcoming. When ED publicize new things, it is usually planes or choppers.

When ED publicize new things, it is usually planes or choppers. Is that so strange? I think most people still come to DCS for the "planes and choppers". Sure, more "other" assets would be great, but how many people will want to pay for those? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if ED did some research on this and came to the conclusion that not many people want DLC asset packs, which would result in them having to develop "other" assets with the revenue they make on modules. Anyways, stuff takes time @Mike Force Team. As you may or might not know, ED is a relatively small developer and their realism standard is extremely high, hence they can't/won't just pop out new objects/units without proper background research and use of officially declassified documents. Kinda like "do it right, or don't do it at all" Although some here do think differently, only ED knows what's best for ED... If they don't focus/work on more maritime units (which perhaps they are without any of us knowing), they do so for a reason. 2 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
cfrag Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 While I'd be happy to see more ships in DCS - why US coast guard? Since we don't have a map with US coast, what would be the point? Do USCG even operate outside US costal waters (I honestly don't know - anyone with better knowledge please educate me?). Or are you merely looking for a USCG skin? 1

cfrag Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 I stand corrected (and slightly blushing ). Thank you!
Seaeagle Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) IMO for DCS it would be better with some USNS (MSC) ships - i.e. fleet oilers, dry cargo/ammunition ships, submarine tenders, command ships etc. Edited December 6, 2021 by Seaeagle
