markturner1960 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I know we already have the Forrestal, I have not personally used this asset yet, what are the thoughts on getting the kind of Supercarrier functionality us Hornet guys are now so used to implemented on the Forrestal ? Would seem a backwards step if we had to go back to pre Supercarrier DCS tech to use the naval version........ I know we could of course the Supercarriers if we are not being picky about era correct assets etc.....

Northstar98 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Pedantically, while the Forrestal is technically in a post SLEP, 90s fit (by then the naval Phantoms had gone, think they were last on Forrestal in the early 80s (F-4S), before SLEP), though there's nothing stopping you from using it, and is the most appropriate asset for naval Phantoms currently. The F-4E though is not carrier capable.

some1 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Technically no aircraft carrier we have in game is suitable for F-4E, but that's hardly anyone's fault 3 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro

Cheers I don't know how many Naval Phantoms we have planned but we really don't have any carriers that are period correct for the Phantom. The Forrestal is a 1980s configuration which happened after the F-4 was retired. I don't know how hard it would be to reconfigure the existing forestall model to a Vietnam configuration but that should be done. I would though love to see period correct battle groups added. I figure the Kitty-hawk class would work, as would the Enterprise and Midway for the US Navy and I would also like at least one Royal Navy carrier as well.
Turd Ferguson Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 A British Carrier from the 70's would be amazing, even better if it also had the jolly good bit of encouragement the Air Bosses are showing to the Buccaneer pilot from 5;20 onwards Oh hell, let's go nuts. Swords for forty eight thousand

markturner1960 Posted January 26, 2022 Author Posted January 26, 2022 Yeah, I am just basically saying it would be nice to have an "Older" carrier that has Supercarrier tech and fucntionality when the naval variant F4 drops..... 1 System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
