brettt777 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) I may have posted something like this already and I apologive in advance if I have. We really need a southeast Asia map that includes Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, maybe part of Thailand, and a good part of the South China Sea. We already have a MiG-21, an F-4E, and a B-52 in one of the asset packages. I understand we have an A-6 Intruder coming along with an F-100 Super Sabre and there is a very good A-4 Skyhawk available. A Vietnam assets package could give us a Forrestal or Kitty Hawk class carrier. Or... A Korea map that includes North and South Korea and parts of China and Russia, the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea, and maybe part of Japan. We already have a MiG-15 and an F-86 which were the two primary players in Korea. We could repaint some Mustangs as USAF F-51D's. And an assets package with a Midway class carrier. We could even have a real 4077 MASH location. We could also use more Pacific Theater WWII Terrain since we have planes like the F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair up and coming. Of course we'd need like, an Essex class carrier or two (Can you tell I'm ex-US Navy?). So.... what's the release date?

upyr1 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I've said it before I'd love both maps. My dream for Vietnam would be to have 2 or 3 variants. variant the must have early 1960s/early 1970s variant. We have the following "period" aircraft F-4 Phantom II, MiG-21 though wrong version, MiG-19 (hopefully) A-4, Bronco, UH-1 (wrong version), CH-47 (wrong version), OH-58 (wrong version) then on the way we have the A-6 (wrong version), A-7 (wrong version), A-1. We need more 1960s US and ANZAC ground assets, and of course some NVA and VC. I'd also say the following Naval assets- New Jersey, OKlahoma City, New Port News, Canbera, and some river patrolboats and gunships. Also NVA torpedo boats and armed sampan. Next possible variant a modern China vs Vietnam war this would focus on the Flanker, MiG-21 Bis, F-5E and JF-17 Lastly for the F4U a WWII/ first Indochina war. Korean I figure ideally there would be 3 maps. Obviously the 1950s. We need assets for the Red for as well as early jets. Modules I'd love for this would be the F-84, IL-2, FH(2), we have the F-51, F4U, MiG-15 and F-86 (I'm not sure about the Mozie and Spitfire) 1960/ "Second Korean" war there were a serious of battles fought along the border in the late 1960s which thankfully didn't result in a war. Modern era- we got everything here but the map. 1

MAXsenna Posted April 28 Posted April 28 It has been confirmed that it's not "an if" but "a when" both maps come, and ED will make them in house.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 2

Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk Great! In this case, it seems like ED should go ahead and place Vietnam Map and Korea Map in their own entries in the Forum under DCS: Tech & Terrain. Post an Announcement something like: "This is a placeholder for a long-range plan. Anticipated release MAY be in the timeframe of 2028-2032...to be announced at a later time." And lock that post. Then create a Wish List under each and move all of the related requests and wishes from around the forum to these respective Wish Lists. Allow others to add more related wishes/ideas to that folder. Maybe also with a survey: "Are you interested in purchasing the Vietnam Map at some point in the future?" ...and same for Korea Map. This way those interested can click "yes" to indicate so rather than post another topic to say so. 1

They won't do it unless it's officially announced and WIP. 8 minutes ago, Andrew8604 said: This way those interested can click "yes" to indicate so rather than post another topic to say so.

MAXsenna Posted May 8 Posted May 8 @Andrew8604 I agree with you in a way, while like @draconus writes, they won't do that. Personally, I believe they should make specific subforums in the Wishlist section for wishes that comes up ALL THE TIME. Like Korea, Nam, F-105, "automatic/easier refueling" and certain other items. Then they could as you write sort everything there, and if the wish is granted, purge and migrate over to a new forum in the correct place. This is most relevant for maps and specific modules of course. Cheers! 2

Honez Posted yesterday at 11:35 AM Posted yesterday at 11:35 AM I believe that these two maps would be among the most popular maps DCS would have.
