what is Your personal DCS wishlist (and not just flyable mods)

[upyr1]

Here is my list

game mechanics 

• Cargo editor- we should be able to preload troops and equipment on transport vehicles.
• Airdrop waypoint- 
•  the ability to launch/spawn troops and vehicles from amphibious assault ships 
• fast rope repel and hover waypoint for helicopters
• give artillery the ability to fire multiple shell types and work with a forward observer and spotter plane
• the ability to load multiple weapon types on ships
• A generic control template for planes and helicopters, I'm not saying get rid of the vehicle specific ones just give us the ability to set default controls which DCS will use to populate a new module.
• waypoints for SAR operations 
• bring back the mission classification from Flanker 1

Assets

• More Naval assets especially WWII naval assets, we have 2 Normandy maps and there is a WWII Marianas map in the pipe so I would like the overlord invasion fleet and some Japanese and American ships for the Marianas. I'd also like more cold war and modern ships. 
• Korean war era assets- we have the F-51, F-86, MiG-15 now we need ground targets. So add some Red army assets to the WWII asset pack as well as some period aircraft to the core
• Vietnam war era- there are some aircraft in the pipe to flesh out the Vietnam era but anything will be welcome

Maps-

I'd love to see the fulda gap, Korea and something East front for the I-16 perhaps Kursk

modules-

Red AF WWII - the IL-2 and 10 are a must. I don't care which Yaks we get as long as they overlap with the I-16 and MiG-15

Red cold war- if possible Su-24, su-25 and MiG-27. Yak-38, su-7 and 9, I'm not too picky  really 

France

Super Entendard, Mirage III and V, and jagurar 

US F-84, F-884F, F-105, F-80, A-26, F-102/6, F-104  and F-111

F2h, FJ, F9F, F6F, SBD, TBF- anything naval from WWII and Korea

more Phantoms

British- anything really but the following are top on my list

Tornado, Sea Harrier, Canberra, Seafire, bucaneer, ( 

Japan- WWII  carrier airwing

You got a lot of good ones on your list! I'd like a bit more involvement with cargo on a whole, also in view of the big wish of a dynamic campaign.

Ok, I'll be the one to point at the pink elephant in the corner

My no.1 wish for DCS: Performance improvements

[Bremspropeller]

Some fleshed out SAR (and CSAR) could be really fun in the upcoming C-130.

Find people in the ocean in really $hitty weather, drop a dinghy and coordinate the rescue effort.

I've posted threads about that one, I've always wanted to preload troops and cargo on vehicles.

I'm hoping we'll get that with vulkan and multicore.

F-2, dynamic campaign, more assets for east Asia, J-10. A couple other red aircraft for the homies, about any aircraft from the last 40ish years.

I left a few things out and this is one of them. We might not have all the right versons but we do have all the sandies covered.

The A-10 is out already, the A-7 and A-1 are in the pipe

The dynamic campaign will be awesome I think that could use it's own wishlist 

[trevoC]

Full Fidelity Su-25 Would be close to the top on my list.

Other Bomber Aircraft (F-111 / B1-B / TU-22/95/160)

I feel that as DCS is a free to play (with Su-25T) that it doesn't really showcase the software well enough unless you purchase more modules. I think it would be nice for DCS to come with all three versions of the SU-25 (FC3 version, Su-25T and a full fidelity version). Players could then start wherever they are comfortable but see the capabilities of a full fidelity module. 

To be clear, I'd pay for a FF su-25, I just think it would complement the free product well. That aircraft got me hooked back in the day with the original FC. 

At very least, I think the Su-25T should get a cockpit/model upgrade to showcase the software. It should be one of the best aircraft IMO to attract people buying modules.

A FF su-25 is on the top of my list of soviet cold war modules especially with the Afghanistan theater I want to see the WWII and Korean war era aircraft more to go with the I-16 and MiG-15.

[DishDoggie]

Multithreading and 90 FPS in VR. I will supply all other Wishlist happiness with buying Maps and Modules and Single Playing my ass off in the best dang Combat Simulator ever made for FREE. My Wish list is almost done. Lol Everything over that is just greedy player I wants because I already got what I wanted. These are good days to be in DCS. Lots of good Wishes.

[SickSidewinder9]

I would love to see a lot more modern AI aircraft.  Yes, we have Civ and Military Aircraft mods, but a lot of those aircraft should be standard.  Even if they're low fidelity it would be nice to have.

And of course the ability to use both the hose and the boom on the 135 with the pods.

[Evoman]

I would like to see more variety of aircraft types for different missions. We already have plenty of fighter planes but have no other military types. But I am glad that the C-130 will be paving a way for other cargo aircraft with a cargo system.

I would like to see these aircraft someday:

C-2 Greyhound

F-111

Bucaneer

E-2 Hawkeye

S-3 Viking

 

 

 

[Nomatic]

For me..  

Modern H-60  

EH-101

CSAR Missions

Updated/Improved Troop Movement/Deployment/Fast Rope Animations

And a Dynamic Mission Generator. Like a quick mission generator, different than the dynamic campaign.

Well. that is a list…..generations following us will rely on it for a hundreds of years…just joking, there are some nice additions, especially the helo related ones.

I‘d like to see the CH-47 as full module not only AI and a AH1 cold war Cobra or a AH1Z Viper, a Super Puma (Caracal)….Uups, I wanna see all helicopters as full modules

Besides that we need multithread, vulkan, VR optimisation, dynamic campaign, realistic ATC, world map…..

[Gunfreak]

As many ww2 assets as possible both Europe and Pacific. More infantry,  ground vehicles , planes, artillery, ships.

Ability for helicopters to easily embark and disembark ground troops(with troops being modeled inside the helicopters and animations of going in and out.)

More Vietnam stuff.

More Korea stuff.

[Iron Sights]

I’d like to see more WWII aircraft. Maybe more eastern front stuff. HE-111, JU-87, Yaks and MiGs. I mean you have the Caucus map already. 

[dawgie79]

- Civilian Asset Pack

- New updated Huey

Not sure if you have heard yet but it was announced not too long ago that OctopusG has been working on the La-7 as a FF module. The module is very far along, and it is planned to be released into Early Access in the first part of 2023.

I'd have to agree with that. I'd also like to place pre built squads, platoons and companies on the map.

I've posted threads about trenches in the past. Along with the ability to garrison buildings I would also include the ability to storm buildings- basically an enemy unit enters a building then the game rolls some dice and factors in skill and numbers to determine casualties and success. If / when we get Iow Jima as a map, I'd love it if they included the Alaska as an asset.

Iowa-Class (WW2 and PGW configuration) and North Carolina-Class (WW2 AP) battleships

I've posted about the Iowas as well. I'm not a 3D modeler but I don't think the Korea and Vietnam configurations would be that hard to do if you have the WW and 1980s. Korea they were basically the WWII configuration with a helicopter flight deck, New Jersey had her dedicated AA guns removed during Vietnam and the ECM T and antenna on the bow added. The Iowa and New Jersey and both North Carolina-class battleships were in the Mariana's campaign. I figure the Iowas are the only battleships which should go in DCS core.

I've asked for a better system as well. I figure the best system would be the following

<category>-cruiser, destroyer, battle cruiser, battleship. (ECT)

<sub category>-for cruisers this might be heavy, light, guided missile, for battleships it might be dreadnought and fast battleship

<class>

<subclass>

<fitting>- for example if we are looking at the New Jersey we might have WWII, 1950s, 1960, 1980s for the Iowa-class battleships

<ship> I don't care if the ships are the same livery/ different model or different model we might have an option like <any> which assigns a differnt ship in each class  

then in the payload editor we would have a livery menu.
