Mike Force Team Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 When the F-4 is available, will we be able to use it in the South Atlantic Map?
Zad Fnark Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 You can use any plane on any map. 4 Questions are a burdon, and answers a prison for one's self.

Only if you speak with a heavy English accent!! Also only after the map is released! Which might nor might not happen before or after the Phantom launch. My guess is both will appear this year though, so the wait to get both shouldn't be all that long.
joey45 Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Yes as we will get the airfield with the long runway. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

F1GHTS-ON Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Didn't the port Stanley runway have some form of cable/arresting gear installed from late'82 /83 to accomodate the F-4s until MPA was built? Not as violent as a carrier stop, but enough to help with wet/cross wind recoveries. In DCS even a simple carrier single wire should/could be added to map? Edited February 26, 2022 by F1GHTS-ON 1

It would have had a cable for sure, but I think the runway was extended just before the Phantoms got there. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
Mike Force Team Posted March 1, 2022 Author Posted March 1, 2022 In addition to the F-4s, we are likely to have the F-15s available. At least, I saw the F-15 flying in the South Atlantic map videos. We can have loads of fun attacking and defending our positions using both jets. MFT
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 There's no limitation to what aircraft you can fly on what maps aside from runway lengths. So, I'd really imagine that yes, the F-15 and the F-4 will be quite available on South Atlantic. Reformers hate him!

Ala13_ManOWar Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 It's said we will have them eventually, maybe not in every airport, possibly the newer maps first, maybe newer maps only, but who knows how will they be or when we'll get it. In Marianas it's been said they won't be just the paint on the runway but usable in due time. 1 "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

Dragon1-1 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Ideally, it'd be a placeable piece of gear. AFAIK, most airports that we have don't have them built in IRL (it's mostly US military bases that do), but there are portable arresting wire installations to help with that.
addman Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Reading "The Phantom in Focus" by David Gledhill atm. After the Falkland war they extended the runway with AM-2 matting (metal runway planking) so they could take-off and land with the Phantoms there. They also used arrestor hooks and cables to shorten the landing distance considerably.
