Yeah, I mean, it isn't like Falcon 4 is being developed by anyone any more, so it isn't like you can equate it to the F-18, so therefore ED has to create an F-16... NOT ;)

 

Ah man, too many negations in that sentence, my brains going loopy. :D

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Nothing at all, It's free market, ... actually I'm prety sure EDs simulators of F18/AH64 would be superior judging from EDs current products. It's only my customer respective wish of market variety, as much as a speculation of mine that ED would rather turn to other planes, but basically just a speculation of mine ... :)

DCS F16C 52+ w JHMCS ! DCS AH64D Longbow !

What ever it is it's gonna be either US or RUS.. Because that's where the market is...

 

@Nielis - True right... That and the Jag.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Well, I voted for the F18 but only because the question asked which "plane" should be next. Out of the choices the F/A - (Fighter/Attack) 18 would be the broadest sim experience they could offer.

 

However, I would prefer an Apache sim next, especially with JTAC getting implemented.

Just my 2 cents....actually, my $60.00.

I would bet either 64A, f18 a or c model, f16....maybe a russian bird, but I feel the American planes might have more earning potential.

 

I'd be happy with anything really, I'm lucky that I don't and never really have had a favorite fighter plane/helicopter. Kinda like them all for different reasons.

i would like to see the Tornado. Just because I have so many memories of it. But if all really modern planes are off limits. I would want to see late cold war fighters and bombers and scenarios to match.

 

The US will never have an opponent that is as interesting as back in the day. Probably for another simulation company... But if I had a couple of million us dollars to spend. I would do so on a late cold war simulator. Missiles was worse... Avionics was worse... Better multiplayer :D

Ahh, and by the way... I really miss the planning phase in simulators :( Tornado by Digital Integration had this, after you got promoted. AV8B... don't know if you remember that one... Had it in spades. Total air war had it.

 

But then again... I liked Rainbow Six while it had the planning phase that got dumped because no one liked it.

The one with the eurofighter is especially funny as well. Same with the chunnel.

I want to see Apache. I remember that old commodore 64 game where u flew one.

If not the Apace, it would be real cool with a new Flying Fortress sim :D

Bomb some Germans ;)

Nah, but it would be nice with a new game where u fly over europe in a thick layer of aaa clouds, to use the northen bomb sight and so. A sim where u could shift crew position, to be gunner, pilot and so on.

 

The

Boeing/Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche

 

Is a real cool toy to.

Fixed that for you. You're welcome. ;):D

IL2 is great, but not for the B17, there was once a whole sim dedicated to this special bomber, it´s called B17: The mighty 8th. You could manually aim the norden bomb sight, take ANY position there was in the plane and manage your crew members(assingin tasks like putting out fires and help wounded crew members), in that sim you could also fly escort fighters and the 109, 190 and 262. It was my first flight simulator:thumbup: I can even remember my first kill, I was the tail gunner and fired a long burst towards incoming fighters, one of them, a 109 went down burning:smilewink: A great game, I think I still have it somewhere.

 

But back on topic, I would have loved to see a Mig-21 sim.

Modern conflicts are about asymmetric warfare, not dogfights. Hence I prefer another slowpoke for CAS purpose, like AH-64 - which could fly along the A-10C on a virtual Afghanistan battlefield.

Was that the B17 that was PC only? There was an even older B17 game (I had it on amiga, probably PC and ST too?) that was a bit better I thought. I dont remember that you could fly the fighters on the old one. It was pretty cool to put your plane into a dive to try and put a fire out and then limp home with only 2 or 3 engines :)

 

Anyway... Ill back down from the Harrier vote, instead ill give my vote to Tornado. Not least because the old Tornado game really needs some remake love!! My first experiance of toss bombing and runway denial action. I think DCS would benefit from a strike aircraft. Too many times in A10 so far and BS I feel the need to go off hunting SAM sites and high importance targets that arent really what i'm on the battlefield for.

 

Terrain following deep into enemy territory to wipe out the other sides runways to gain air superiority for your sharks and/or hogs? :)

My hope is that ED will want to keep the sides balanced between western and eastern, and likewise for fixed-wing and helicopters. If that is the case, logic would suggest we see either a eastern fixed-wing or western helicopter. Eastern fixed wing, I'm not sure but perhaps something that wasn't in the FC2 line-up would be interesting. If it's a western chopper then it really has to be the Apache or a twin-engined AH-1 variant. Perhaps one of these will provide a nice head-to-head experience against the Shark. To be honest, I hope they won't choose the Longbow. It's too far ahead and, along with the A-10C, will leave the Shark out on a limb.

I think DCs should make a whole pack of the modern fighters, helos, tanks and some mobile aa tanks and then get serious in multiplayer.

Imagine beeing the one sitting in that Sam launcher room and jut to be about to pop a Harrier comming close whan a A10 a**-Rap***s u from behind.

 

Would even be cool to be able tp play AA foot soldier and pop that bastard who was about to cluser bomb u.. i know, if all this is implemented i bet we have a lag fest :D
