Max Thunder Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thank you so much! The F14 was my first plane in DCS and is still my favorite. That you guys now doing one of my favorite planes is just incredible.

I'm fairly comfortable and making that assertion. My post has nothing really to do with how it will release, if it will be early access, or what early access will mean in that context. My post was about clarifying (for the sake of getting ahead of inevitable rumors, wild conjecture, and feverish hype) if "2022" means some kind of module release or if it is just a placeholder date for a more fleshed out announcement with a lot more detail (in comparison to the teaser we got today).

War_Pig Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm so excited about this I can barely put it into words. The fact that Heatblur is doing the F-4 is amazing. While I'm sure that other developers could have pulled it off, HB has a proven track record of doing absolute justice to 60's and 70's aircraft. The Viggen and F-14 are my favorite modules in DCS, and I can't wait to have the opportunity to sit in the virtual cockpit of the F-4. I have no doubt that HB will depict the heart and soul of the Phantom in a way that only they could! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRCRob Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 This makes me very happy, behind the Tomcat and Intruder, this is one of my top 5 favorite aircraft of all time. Looking forward to what models you end up producing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "Coming in 2022" in the video description, Heatblur's Trello has said they have an unannounced module coming in 2022, now this trailer... the F-4E is coming in 2022 as an EA module. 2 minutes ago, comie1 said: Dude the F14 still isn't complete.

"Nearly Feature Complete" I know it's a hard thing to understand, but the F-14 launched in a Nearly Feature Complete state. What has been added since, is, in the grand scheme of the complexity of that aircraft, been pretty minor. TWS-Auto and Navgrid being the only features really missing at launch. Contrast that with the F/A-18C or F-16 launch, or nearly any other module launched into EA and tell me how my statement is incorrect again. 5 My YT Channel (DCS World, War Thunder and World of Warships) Too Many Modules to List --Unapologetically In Love With the F-14-- Anytime Baby! -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cytarabine Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I don’t know what I am more excited about; - the fact we are getting a phreaking phantom! - the suggestion of more variants (which has to mean a naval variant right? F-4J??) - that Heatblur are the developers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bies Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Great news! I'm more excited for F-4 Phantom than anyother DCS module coming!

Whiskey11 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 1 minute ago, Gypsy 1-1 said: Yeah, you could argue Jester AI and Phoenix being moved to the new API are also pretty big items. Most of the stuff that is or was missing are visual or assets (pilot models, Carriers, A-6E, engine instruments, IRIAF and Early A etc.) They are, as are jamming effects on the radar, but these features doesn't mean you can't use the jet to it's capabilities in the way that the F-16 and F/A-18C launches didn't have certain features like the fricken AIM-120 at launch (looks at Hornet) or a functioning damage model (F-16). The AIM-54 is perfectly serviceable in the current environment, and Jester was more than capable of the A2A role and most of the A2G stuff (sans LANTIRN) at launch. But LANTIRN was there at launch for a Human RIO to use. 1 My YT Channel (DCS World, War Thunder and World of Warships) Too Many Modules to List --Unapologetically In Love With the F-14-- Anytime Baby! -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViFF Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Any details what F-4E block this will be? Please pray let it be Block 53 with all the goodies in weapons, avionics, less-smokey engines and the slats from the Agile Eagle Program that improved maneuverability!!! Salute!

Just speculating here based upon the F-14 release, I'm guessing it'll be a late F-4E with the bells and whistles and an earlier E and other variants will come out later.

xuhao1 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It's really EXCITING that HB takes the development for F-4E. We will have a Phantom has same quality compared to F-14! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!NOW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
