Beirut Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 I'm debating a buddy about this and I want some input to use as ammunition against him. Thank you. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

AndyJWest Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Yeah, we're discussing coolness here, not what should be in DCS (i.e. both, obviously). The names alone are enough to determine the winner. One's named after the God of Fire, and the other's named after something that eats ants... 3
Hiob Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 The Vulcan looks like one of those child toys or cheap RC drones made from styrofoam. The F-111 is not only cooler by looks, but also by mission. 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
LuseKofte Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 Vulcan rocks. Saying something else is heresy. Or a general lack of good taste 4

G.J.S Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 One makes the sort of howl that makes it seem almost unearthly, has a look straight out of a sci-fi film, can cavort around the sky at altitudes that can embarrass quite a few fighters, and comes from the same stables as the Lanc. The other can, as evidenced in the picture above, light it’s farts. 5 1 - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
whiteladder Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Have had the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of a Vulcan recently, my vote was easy. Edited December 30, 2023 by whiteladder 2
Mogster Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 Ahhh, the days when you went to an airshow and you could almost sit on the edge of the runway. I mean… It’s a Vulcan, it’s at Woodford 2
Qcumber Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 The Vulcan is an iconic plane. It has to be the coolest. The F-111 is not a "cool" plane but it has always been a favourite of mine and would be fantastic in DCS. To summarize. Vulcan = coolest F111 = best for DCS 2 9800x3d; rtx5080 FE; 64Gb RAM 6000MHz; 2Tb NVME; Quest Pro (previous rift s and Pico 4).
Glide Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 I am loving the F-111 from the GKS guys. It's very cool to be in the jet that General Dynamics made before the F-16. You really appreciate the leap ahead with single seat and all the automation that came with the F-16.
