snocc_ Posted June 13, 2024 Posted June 13, 2024 looking through F-86 pictures and reading through some references i found some weapons missing that could really breathe new life to the DCS F-86 if added to the game and would make the plane much more attractive for when the fc2024 version of this module releases. references for these weapons being used on the F-86F-35 can be found on T.O. 1F-86F-1 and T.O. 1F-86D-33-1-1 both of which are publicly available and easy to find manuals MA-2A The MA-2A is a lightweight 2 shot 70mm FFAR launcher mounted on our current hvar rocket rails available on jets after the F-86F-25 MA-3 The MA-3 is an expendable 7 shot 70mm FFAR pod mounted on the plane's hvar rails and available on jets after the F-86F-25, it includes a forward and aft fairing that detach when the rockets are fired similarly to more modern rocket pods like the lau-3 the 70mm FFARs launched from both of these launchers could have HEAT, HE, WP or inert warheads AN-M65 1000 pound bomb available to the F-86 since it started being used as a fighterbomber, this bomb is already modelled ingame and is available for use on the P-47 i believe adding these weapons would help freshen up and complete the DCS F-86F-35 experience and would help keep it from falling behind relatively to other upcoming modules of it's era and timeframe, with the popularization of the cold war in DCS and the upcoming fc2024 sabre it's the perfect moment for the DCS F-86 to get some attention from the devs 4 el articulo 140 de la constitucion
Kevin509 Posted June 15, 2024 Posted June 15, 2024 +1 To this post, would love to see more ordinance options for the Sabre without mods required. I would also add that it would be nice to have a tactical nuke like the Mig21, just to have reason to use LABS as it was really intended. 1
Flappie Posted June 15, 2024 Posted June 15, 2024 M-65 was asked internally a while back. I have no news to share for now, but I'll bump the request. 2 2 ---
