PhantomHans Posted April 2 Posted April 2 (edited) Hey Heatblur, I'd like to suggest some development of more AI opponents. Jets that aren't necessarily so detailed or polished like the ones you'd see on your friendly airbase, but jets that are good enough to be in your gunsight. For example... MiG-21M, 21SM, 21MF. The existing 21Bis module is great, but the AI flight model is total garbage with the jet sometimes turning more like an F-16 than a MiG-21. The radar is also shockingly good compared to the F-4Es APQ-120. The M/SM/MF series are a little less advanced than the 21Bis. The M has older RP-21 radar, the SM and MF have RP-22, but only the MF has R-60 missiles. Building one of these as an AI opponent would allow for a more realistic experience going up against the Phantom's classic adversary in the skies. (Earlier versions like the 21F-13, 21PF, 21PFM, and 21S, would of course be great to have, but would be probably better suited up against an as yet unreleased F-4B/C/D series jet.) An earlier or export MiG-23 like the MiG-23M, or export variant like the 23MF and/or MS. The 23M and 23MF would be very similar, other than the export Sapfir23 radar on the MF being downgraded and the MF using the R-13M instead of R-60. The 23MS would have the MiG-21s RP-22 radar, and weapons fit of R-3S, R-3R, R-13M. Earlier or export Floggers would be great opponents to the F-4E and historically fought against it, and the 23MS in particular has some famous history against the F-14. An earlier SU-22 Fitter version. We currently have a late model SU-22M4 modeled, which is great. An earlier version would have R-3R/R-13M missiles as an option and could have fighter mission types like intercept, escort, CAP, etc added to represent their occasional use as fighters. Iraqi SU-22s went up against Iranian F-4Es, and of course Libyan Fitters have some famous history against the F-14. I know Heatblur is busy, but so many of the existing cold war modules would greatly benefit from some more adversaries. Edited April 2 by PhantomHans 1 More Cowbell VF-84 Tomcat Skins!

So you know they planned since many years to make a Draken, then the A-6 and look what we got. Either get in line or better make a wish here: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/1027-dcs-wish-list/ 16 hours ago, PhantomHans said: The existing 21Bis module is great, but the AI flight model is total garbage with the jet sometimes turning more like an F-16 than a MiG-21. This was reported long time ago. You can add weight to it to make it more realistic. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

To be fair, his wishlist item is for HB, so he is posting it in the HB section, best to let them answer if they like.
