Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List

[CheckGear]

I want to see a "USAF '94" mod:

 

- F-4G "Wild Weasel" V

- F-15C/D Eagle

- F-15E Strike Eagle

- F-16C/D Fighting Falcon Block 25

- F-16C/D Fighting Falcon Block 30/32

- F-16CG/DG Fighting Falcon Block 40/42

- F-16C/D Fighting Falcon Block 50/52

- F-111F Aardvark

- F-117A Nighthawk

 

If they could simulate each aircraft to the FC3 level (semi-study), then that'd be greeeeaaaat...

[Python]

Oh no offense taken at all brother how is this?

OMG I just read, it is VIPER, not a Falcon?

 

Looks great! :thumbup: Viper is a common term, but an unofficial one, as mentioned above, it doesn't really matter which name you use. If I were making something official looking like you just have, I'd use Falcon. Although in this specific case, I'd probably use "Sufa" just to confuse things further lol.

[SilentGun]

Oh snap it is an 'I' isn't it OMG. I need to fix this when I get home.

 

 

Isn't the F-16 in the pic an "F"?

[Python]

Isn't the F-16 in the pic an "F"?

 

 

Nope, it's an F-16i Sufa. I'll have to break out my modern viper guides to check, but isn't the F only used by the UAE?

I think your right about the f-16I (considering its Israeli paint)

 

But I think the F-16F is used by more than just the UAE

Someone asked for the F-18E Super Hornet box art?

 

Here ya go:

Block 50 Viper. A true multirole fighter, and a western SEAD aircraft.

 

Some articles to convince you all .

I suppose an F-22 or Typhoon would be sexier, but either of the latter is unlikely to happen.

Super Hornet is just too close to the Charlie Hornet, which is on the way.

Can you guys explein me how to build a team?

Typhoon is happening, but I agree the C and E are very similar, in the avionics department, and there's not much the E can do that the C can't its just bigger stealthier and has longer legs when you get right down to it, and in my opinion the F-18 was supposed to be a lightweight fighter anyways.

 

The E model is a little too big and plus loaded down with the extra fuel and firepower it's almost underpowered. I'm looking forward to having a nice little C in the game.

 

But we need a late model viper some day for sure, or I'd take an F-15E of any era.

Razbam will do F-15E they will use F-15E that is already in DCS after they finished the M2000C.

F-15E is next as one said on facebook but things can change will see in 2017 when M2000C is out.

[Wizard_03]

Yeah that's the word, hopefully by then front and backseat multilayer will be sorted out and A2G radar will have a solid technology base so it won't be so hard to move it over, that's one bird that would sell like hot cakes.

 

Edit: so I just checked the M2M site forums and they mentioned the F-15E back in June (of this year lol) It sounds like they are waiting on some DCS features to be finished first, probably some of what i said above, to start implementation in DCS. I suppose once 1.5 is out and L-39 Front and back is done we'll see some head way on it.

Yes they wait dual seat to be implemented.

Last I heard (couple weeks maybe) their plan is Mirage 2000C, A-7E and AV-8B in that order. I occasionally see users mention the F-15E, but I've never seen RAZBAM officially state they are going to make one. Either way, I wouldn't buy an F-15E. Not a fan of 2 seat "fighters."

[SPEKTRE76]

That's F/A-18E/F!!! :mad:

 

 

Sorry I am not familiar with the 'Bugs'. I was a Tomcat guy. And this one is the 'E'. The 'F' is a two seater.

They're still by-and-large the same aircraft, just like the F-16C/D and F/A-18C/D. I would like to see both the "E" and "F" variants should they release a Super Hornet module.

 

BTW, I noticed that when I look at some air wing compositions, certain squadrons that employ the F/A-18C were indicated as flying the F/A-18C(N). Does anyone know what the "(N)" denoted?

More likely than not it indicates a night attack version. That means the airframes are lot 12 or later jets. Link please?

Thanks for the data.

 

Its interesting to me that, even as recently as the early 1990s, the ability to attack at night and in poor weather was still very much a work-in-progress.

The Night Attack lot 12's and later are denoted by the "N" designation. From the book, the evidence is found in the fact that there no "N" designations prior to 1990. Additionally, I know that VFA-146 and VFA-147 swapped their jets (Lot 16's) with the forward deployed VFA-192 and VFA-195 (Lot 10/11's) around the time that the Kitty Hawk took over fror the Indy... 1998. Luckily, all four of those squadrons are listed and you can see when they swapped the Night Attack Hornets from CAG 9 on the America to CAG 5 on the Kitty Hawk.

Remember the L-39 will open a new chapter regarding 2 seaters including multiplayer).

Having 2 seater version of the F18 and F15 could be very interesting

[XeNoise]

I know it's one of the most classified planes but i would pay loads of cash for an aprox version of it.... Might be OP in multy, though..

Very interesting stuff. Thanks for the insight. So basically, anything Hornet prior to 1990 had limited night-attack capability?

JSTARS

 

Ok just for kicks asking. How long will it take to get are JSTARS?

The lot 11 and below aircraft can still conduct attacks at night, they were just not optimized for that mission. The lot 12 and above have NVG compatible cockpits among other upgrades to improve their overall effectiveness. The NVG's enabled the pilot freedom of maneuver. Before the NVG compatibility a pilot had to use the FLIR pods to look around in the dark... which is not optimal in a combat environment.
