But a nice F-15E with AI partner or player would be a nice add to the DCS series.... Edited April 13, 2011 by Shinigami La guerra, asi como es madrastra de los cobardes, es madre de los valientes.

Tracer2k Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 it indeed would, but i seriously doubt that ED, or any other developer could program an AI smart and complex enough to operate in the front/back seat of a fighter realistically, if they could, and would do the F15E or super hornet, i'd jizz my pants every day.. twice...for the rest of my life.. ;) WOOOOoooooo ------------------------------------------------------ AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2GHz Black edition 8GB DDR3 1333 GeForce GTX580 Windows 7 64bit ------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaspeR32 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm not sure, when the current AI basically climbs at a vertical angle to try and reach your altitude while stalling about 27 times in the process and falling behind about 50 miles I'm not too sure it could handle flying the F-15E while you tinker with radar/weapons.

A10Player Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 why not... ok voted for Tomcat but i miss really the Panavia Tornado IDS and or ADV ? :cry: This is my 1st choice, the doubleseater IDS, ADV or ECR Variant. Better all 3 ! :). So i think 99$ is a good Price for all 3 Variants. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jona33 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 i would like a tornado. Don't care which one. GR4 is good though ADV is cool as well Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrobes Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 That's a lot of pages.. I'm sure it's been said at least once already, but my vote would go for the Harrier GR-7. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-51_Razor Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Carrier operations just adds that one extra skill to be mastered above all the rest of the stuff you need to learn for these complicated fighters. Although I voted for the F/A-18, as far as I'm concerned, any current carrier based fighter would do. Those who think they everything about aviation, are particularly annoying to those of us that really do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jona33 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 my vote would go for the Harrier GR-7. :) That's a good point but why not the sea harrier. Then you get carrier ops as well.

Because from what I've seen that is primarily not the case. Even ground units. When I put their skill to excellent and I nuke one of their AA units they don't even try to take cover or drive somewhere safer. I've seen the one tank try and run in WAGS video but other than that I haven't seen it. Maybe I'm missing something in the editor that I have to script? Either way, there would have to be a HUGE improvement in AI for the multi-cockpit to work out.

DCS might not get a contract. Don't know what we're going to put on RN ships since the F-35 isn't going to enter service for ages. We'll start launching paper airplanes of carriers. Always remember.

Harrier went out of service at the start of the year mate, they are looking at selling the airframes to someone at the moment. Yanks, Spain and India are the favourites to buy at the moment and there is enough training material to probably not warrant a contract. Its a sad state of affairs the whole Carrier/GR9/F35 balls up.

JS Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) You seem to have totally missed the point of DCS. It is to take all the detailed specifications and information about a combat aircraft and recreate it in an extremely detailed simulation. That's quite hard to do with something that has never existed, right? Edited April 16, 2011 by JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomdeplume Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 You beat me to it automag928. I think he's throwing subtle hints into what is next to come. People were saying the same thing about the new F-15 models and all the screenshots in the installer. Could just be that someone somewhere decided to improve the pretty-dated looking E-2 model, just 'cos they felt like it. Hopefully someone will decide to update the C-17 model, too... :music_whistling: This may sound blasphemous to many of you out there...but DCS: X-Wing? or maybe DCS: TIE Intercepter? I'm not really sold on the whole concept of itty bitty space fighters. :D What I think would be cool would be a study-sim of a 'Battlemech'. You could do some really interesting things with 'slightly future' technology with that sort of platform. But, DCS isn't where it's going to happen, methinks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
