First off if Prowler from Razbam is seeing this, I'm sorry...but challenge accepted.

As per his comment on the discord:

Make a new post with a poll! 😄 

Anyway, YES, I WANT THIS!!!

Yes, I would like a Sea King module, either an HAS.5/HAR.5 or USN SH-3H, the only thing is that these aircraft (besides the HAR.5) are basically dedicated ASW aircraft, which is completely absent in DCS.

ASW equipment will also be classified, and it's likely British EW systems and RADARs will too.

There is the HC.4, but that can only do insertion missions.

Can't believe you are falling for this. Do you really think  for one minute that they will be basing their developement decision between AI and full module on x number of likes to one of their pics? Seriously.They probably made their decision long ago.

Besides I get your love for the seaking , I like it too. But its as if Razbam hasn't like 40 projects in various states of developement. I lost track of all their announcements.

No. But that doesn't stop a entertaining discussion thread...and we can all dream.

Hell, some of us even ask ED to fix stuff in the Black Shark - at least Razbam engages.

I think the idea is to visit the link also...an entertaining discussion thread here is probably not going to do anything to progress your Mk4. 

I dream of the Wessex!

Right, didn't read the OP thoroughly enough. 😊 

Followed the link, and the count is now 153. 😊

Im at the link but I cant see how I "like" the picture - forgive me. Discord is like a teenager to me - I dont understand it, I dont see its purpose, it frightens me and Im naturally suspicious of it.

Well, if you scroll up the page, you'll see a picture of a Sea King, unless it took you to it directly. At least I had du scroll up. Beneath it is a thumbs up icon, just click it. 👍🏻

I can see the image (Argentinian Sea King) and can see its got 153 thumbs up if I click on "reactions"  but there is no method for me to add to it.

If you can see the thumbs up symbol below the picture with a number next to it, just click that.

I just made it 154.

They are making the SeaKing as part of the AI asset pack that will come inclduded with the Falklands map right? It's not that far fetched for them to want to do a Helicopter module, and a SeaKing would be great IF....

and thats a big IF in CAPITAL LETTERS, something like SAR operations or ASW could be implemented in DCS World. Hell, AFAIK most helo's can't even land on ships in DCS World without some strange physics issues creeping up. Unless this is fixed and some additions like this are added to DCS World, it's just another cool transport helo. 

Specs: Win10, i5-13600KF, 32GB DDR4 RAM 3200XMP, 1 TB M2 NVMe SSD, KFA2 RTX3090, VR G2 Headset, Warthog Throttle+Saitek Pedals+MSFFB2  Joystick.

Don't forget the AEW7 variant (which is probably still classified to hell). 

Wikipedia states: "The main role of the Sea King ASaC7 is detection of low-flying attack aircraft; it also provides interception/attack control and over-the-horizon targeting for surface-launched weapon systems. In comparison to older versions, the new radar enables the ASaC7 to simultaneously track up to 400 targets, instead of an earlier limit of 250 targets.[30] The effectiveness of the AEW7 was greatly increased via the addition of a Link 16 data link, allowing gathered radar information to be analysed and rapidly put to use by multiple allied platforms in range."

So in effect this could theoretically provide us with a flyable poor-man's AWACS.

Yes, would like the Sea King. But man, RAZBAM has already promised so many aircraft and helicopters. Don't get me wrong, I love the work RAZBAM are doing, but there is still such a thing as overpromising..

Im good with that. 🙂

But I get your point. SAR would be great for all the "transporty" choppers.. ASW would be a lot of work for a pretty niche thing I think.

Well... Falkands era "Bags" used, if I recall, the radar from the AEW Gannet (or maybe the early Nimrod?) and were pretty much WW2 technology. That'll give us enough range and capability for a DCS map but it's not gonna be especially sensitive any more...

Hey buddy! You might need to go the their FAQ channel or whatever, and agree to some rules etc before you're allowed to "post" anything.
And I agree, Discord makes me actually feel old sometimes, and I work in IT. Just made it so have one year to go, before I make the half a century mark the other day.
