Bvoiash Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 However though as far as I know its main role is transportation :). Celeborn beat me to it :).
nomdeplume Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Hey EA gave it weapons in LHX Attack Chopper, don't see why ED couldn't, too. :D Yes it was a tongue-in-cheek comment. I just don't think a thrust-vectoring jet that can come to a clumsy hover for a short time while consuming massive amounts of fuel really counts as being a 'merger' between a helo and a plane. Please, carry on. :)

Please, carry on. :) Is there any other planes that get a closer merger to helo? Oh no thats right... :) The systems would be fun, nozzle control, always close to your JPT limit, duct pressure, hover performance, water flow/content, sniper, brimstone, carrier ops... etc
GGTharos Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Is there any other planes that get a closer merger to helo? V-22. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
robmlufc Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 V-22. Things with spinny bits strapped to the front of engines dont count as jets :p
GGTharos Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Manufacturers of turboprops and pilots of turboprops might disagree :D Things with spinny bits strapped to the front of engines dont count as jets :p PS: Then again, that thing uses turboshafts. Still quite jet-engine like ;) Edited April 1, 2011 by GGTharos [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
robmlufc Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Manufacturers of turboprops and pilots of turboprops might disagree :D They may well do, trainee RAF pilots always insist they fly jets aswell but I cant find it in myself to describe the Tucano as a jet regardless of what type of engine it has.
GGTharos Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 If you insist, I'll stick pick the F-35B anyway ... the Harrier is just not in the cards :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
robmlufc Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 If you insist, I'll stick pick the F-35B anyway ... the Harrier is just not in the cards :D Ah the famous operationally proven and legendary F-35B, good choice! ;) Maybe in 40 years when it finally enters service.

RAF74_Raptor Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Like I said earlier I want the viper. However the idea of a properly done FA-18 Sim makes me drool as well. Either way I will buy it hopefully in beta just like I did A-10 because I want to support Eagle Dynamics. I came I saw I got blown up by a SA-8:pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.firstfighterwing.com/forums/content.php
Haggart Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Sure, I'ld make an alpha-tester for that airplane... Perhaps if ED needs some testers, I'ld love to use there my skills useful xD There's no "Overkill". There's only "open fire!" and "time to reload".

Jona33 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Nothing wrong with a jet fighter with lots of missiles. F-18 superhornet would be coooooooooooooooooooool Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Jona33 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) BTW, RAF74_RAPTOR. Brilliant sig. Edited December 21, 2011 by Jona33 Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

delta9856 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I'm definitely going to have to say F/A-18. I don't mind whether or not its a legacy hornet or a super hornet, just as long as I get carrier ops! If its not a hornet then an f16 is fine. Oli 'Scarecrow' Lusk Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Intel Core i7 3930K @ 4.20Ghz ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard 16GB DDR3 RAM EVGA Geforce GTX 680 4GB
Jona33 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Good choice Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Jona33 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Go back to P225 and then you'll see why everyone knows that it will be a FIXED WING US FIGHTER Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
GGTharos Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 The next flyable is a US fighter. I represent myself and a bunch of my friends who can't speak Engligh vote the Su-27 Flanker to be the next flyable aircraft in the DCS.:) Hope friends in the community and in the forum who have the same wish support it. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

sobek Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 :( Oh I see, one side per aircraft at a time. Well, in that case we support the Su-27 Flanker to be the next next aircraft in the DCS :smilewink: Unfortunately, ED's military contracts have a lot of weight when it comes to them making the decision about the next aircraft, and it seems right ATM the 'red' aircraft holders aren't buying. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
