303_Kermit Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) As in the title. In the light of upcoming F-4 Phantom I kindly ask for EC-121D Warning Star (College Eye 1967 Mod) as AI I think these asset will be crucial. (As Well as TPQ-10 radar). Those planes served as AWACS (before these name even came to life) from 1954 to 1978 in USAF (and to 1982 in USN).

SgtPappy Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I know everyone working with or for ED has their priorities... but this would be super awesome and immersive. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exhausted Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Period callouts as well? Yes, this is necessary for what ED is trying to do with earlier eras. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carss Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 100% agree, we need more assets from that era, I'd also love to see a KC-97 or KC-135A 6 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exhausted Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The KC-135A is already becoming necessary with the period direction of some of the modules. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upyr1 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The E-121 would be awesome. Here are some assets I want to see added USAF B-66, F-105, A-37, F-102, F-106, B-52D, B-57 USN planes A-3, A-5, A-4, C-1, E-1, S-1 helicopters H-3 ships SBC-125 Essex USS Midway USS Iwo Jima, maybe a Essex LPH like the Valley Forge would be awesome Vietnam era forestfire I mean forestall (maybe heat blur could modify the 1980s) USS Oklahoma City (I know she's a Galveston class USS New Jersey (she has to be on the list) Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer especially the Maddox Charles F. Adams-class destroyers Leahy-class cruiser USS Long Beach 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie_Mantis Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 While you guys are going all out for air assets, I'd argue ground assets are equally important. We'd need, at minimum: 1. US Infantry '65-'72, with M16 or M60 2. US/PAVN Mortar Teams 3. Soviet/PAVN Infantry 4. D-30/M777 Howitzers to hit 5. Early M109 6. PT-76 & T-54/55 (early) 7. M48 Patton III 8. Early airfield tractors and stuff that wouldn't be out of place on Tanh Sonh Nhut! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUFA Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) 100% agree with all suggestion above, here's my additions to the list: Air: All support aircraft from pre-war to present day. For example P-3 Orion/Il-38/Atlantique MPA. All C-135, RC-12 Guardrail, Grumman OV-1 Mohawk and any OPFOR equivalents. Or for WW2 how about Westland Lysander, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch. Sea: Would really like to sea some minor warships in the game. I would also like the ability to assign fighting men able to carrying SAMs in mission designer that are operable Would also like some amphibious ships such as LCVP/LCU/LCM/LST's. I am aware of the Mods available but more is always better. Ground: Well just to give you some inspiration: M-1 120mm AA M-2/3 80mm Maxson Quad 'Towed' M-167 'Towed' Oerlikon GDF 37mm 'Towed' And Some SAMs for BlueFor: Hint: a version is already in game Atilgan M-113 conversion And an old favourite of mine (+Already in game in towed form) M-727 Hawk Anyways just chucking it out there...

carss Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Can we also get other assets for other countries that go with the Phantom? How about the KC-747 for Iran, as Iran is the worlds only operator of the last KC-747? And how about the KC-707 for both Iran and Israel? 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
