Mike Force Team Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) Can we have the B-58 Hustler as s full-fidelty module? I find plenty of declassified informant available on the bomber online. While it never fire a shot in anger during its career life from 1960 to 1970, it would be a great plane because it was really, really fast for its time.

Solution Logan54 Posted March 26 Solution Posted March 26 Yes, I want it in DCS. Very interesting aircraft. 1
bies Posted March 26 Posted March 26 B-58 looked great, fantastic era of aviation. And this otherworldly looking pressure capsule for supersonic ejection - when closed it still allowed the pilot to fly the aircraft. And it added whole lot of comfort in long flights as they can fly without pressure suits. 1 1

Late in the Hustler's career (owing to advances in Soviet high altitude air defense), their crews found themselves performing much the same mission as the modern USAF B-1B as they had had to now go low and fast. That really curtailed its effective range for obvious reasons. We're also talking a career on the shorter side, from 1960 until 1970. It was replaced by the F-111. So of all the 4 engine bombers the US has flown, the Hustler might work on our maps. 3 Reformers hate him!

It was purely a nuclear bomber. Now, that said... it was capable of delivering conventional ordinance. But the main mission for this thing was introducing cities to the Manhattan Project. I wouldn't mind seeing it in DCS, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about it being in as a flyable aircraft. An AI asset? Sure. But I'm on the fence about flying something with such a limited mission scope.
PLAAF Posted March 27 Posted March 27 What about the Canberra bomber? 1 My Adorable Communist Errand Girls Led by me, the Communist Errand Panda
Tank50us Posted March 27 Posted March 27 10 minutes ago, PLAAF said: What about the Canberra bomber? The Canberra would be a better fit as it has a wider mission profile. It did CAS, it did strategic bombing, low altitude interdiction, research and development (with NASA), and of course, tactical nuclear deployment 1

But I'm on the fence about flying something with such a limited mission scope. As long as it had the capability to drop the ordinance, that's not a huge issue. As is the limited mission scope. Were that the case, we'd only be flying multirole and tactical fighters. We've already got aircraft with limited scopes and focused mission sets. We have demand for things like the F-117 and WWII heavies, as well. The B-58 isn't so different in that regard. 7 hours ago, PLAAF said: What about the Canberra bomber? The Canberra would be an interesting choice, you'd just have to pin down a singular variant. What variant chosen would be very hotly contested as it was an extremely successful aircraft, even being one of the few foreign designed combat aircraft accepted into post WWII US service. My own preferences would either want to see an early Canberra akin to what Commonwealth nations had or the B-57As that the Pakistan Air Force operated or the absolute insanity that was the B-57G Tropic Moon III. 1 Reformers hate him!

This way you keep the interesting ones flyable, and the 'meh' ones as AI assets. 2
Mr_sukebe Posted March 29 Posted March 29 The Canberra would be a great addition, if for no other reason than the number of countries that flew it and the number of conflicts that it was involved with 1 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
