joey45 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 ^^ most of them was old airframes and was cheaper to scrap them then reforbish them.. Similer to the Jag.

Jona33 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The problem with stuff like the MV-22 and F-35/22 is they're are too secret for DCS to model. Also for UK helicopters u forgot the Merlin. Best helo ever. The harrier and Jaguar are going out of service or already have. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Dragon Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Merlin added, thanks :thumbup:. The list has no make to flyable, has to AI aircrafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostiken Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Because to downgrade the F-22 enough so they could have sold it without compromise would have essentially forced them to develop a new airframe. The real joke there is that the current F-22 *is* the downgraded foreign one :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The real joke there is that the current F-22 *is* the downgraded foreign one :D It still kicks anythings ass that you might want to throw at it, so where's the point? :) Good, fast, cheap.

Agg Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The problem with stuff like the MV-22 and F-35/22 is they're are too secret for DCS to model. Too secret to be flyables, but not so secret that they cant be AI controlled. Id love to have a U-2 in the sim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmlufc Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 ^^ most of them was old airframes and was cheaper to scrap them then reforbish them.. Similer to the Jag. Harrier airframes are relatively new and they have only just been modded up to GR9 with two more modifications bought and paid for, its costing the government 7 times as much to keep the Tornado's flying compared to Harrier, so no not really cheaper to scrap them.

joey45 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The Jag would be nice but alas the TIALD is still CLASS.

Weta43 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 so no not really cheaper to scrap them it is cheaper if you intend to remove the planes, their pilots, their support crew & all costs associated with upkeep, and not replace them or their capability with anything... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinigami Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Well I add newer planes like Mig-29M/SMT/M2/K and Su-30MK,MKI in the end all the family of newer planes of Russia thought they don't make it playable.

Jimmy C Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If it's a fixed wing aircraft, then my vote is for the F-15E. If it's to be a rotary wing aircraft, then I'd like to see an Apache. Somehow, I feel that I'll like what ever they choose to go with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy C Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If it's a fixed wing aircraft, then I vote for the F-15E. If it's a rotary wing aircraft, I'd like an Apache. Then again, maybe they could do some older aircraft from either the Korean war or the Vietnam war. Back before they stuck all the super radar n weapons and you could get into a gun fight. F 86 vs MiG 15? F 4 vs MiG 21? It could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnider Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think a good DCS Platform would be the F-111C , because: -Its Unique -The isn't any other simulators for it (that i know of) -Its fast! -Its not brand new or really old so it shouldn't be that hard to get info on. -It has a 2 person cockpit where the pilots sit next to each other so it won't be too hard to make -Its versatile -Its interesting but at the end of the day I would be really happy with the super hornet as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrape Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If the F16 was so great the indians would have taken the deal the US was giving them on them. No, they wanted something better. Euro fighter is getting the nod over the inferior F16. not sure why the US could not have sold the F22 with downgraded avionics and engines or something. Who needs 11 billion dollars to stimulate the economy though. The US doesn't sell any weapon or platform it can't defend against or counter effectively. If we sold 22s then it would mean we can beat it. Right now its the the US air dominace trump card.

Jona33 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think it would be good to have another helicopter. Ideally a Merlin or Black hawk. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
power5 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The US doesn't sell any weapon or platform it can't defend against or counter effectively. If we sold 22s then it would mean we can beat it. Right now its the the US air dominace trump card. Thats why I said downgraded. Like a Chinese F22 basically. Hell sell it with no radar or avionics and leave it up to the indians to throw in some of their own from some other current plane. Cant be that hard to equip an F22 with other parts. :music_whistling: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
