DetroitDieseL Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I'm just going off of what I have experienced in the service. And we will see what happens. I didn't mean to derail anybodies opinions of this- just wondering how its going to play out- and keep it realistic at the same time. If you want peace, prepare for war....

kingneptune117 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Posted May 14, 2010 Viper, what do you mean the patch is out? Also, I think speculation is perfectly fine. While it is possible we wont get to fly the C model until early next year, ED said that it would come out at August this year at the very earliest. I think we are all underestimating the DCS team.

EtherealN Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 He means that the patch for DCS:BS is released, since the discussion was derailed into whether helicopters can survive in an FC2-style (lots of fighters) environment.

SFJackBauer Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Thinking hypotetically, ED can make in the future as they made now with DCS / FC2: - Launch BS - Profit - Launch FC2 - Profit - Patch FC2 to be compatible with BS - Patch BS to be compatible with FC2 - Launch A10 - Profit - Patch BS to be compatible with A10 and then: - Patch FC2 to be compatible with A10 OR - Launch FC3 - Profit In the end, money is the blood of an enterprise. We dont know if the money ED earns by selling to us is significant or not compared to their military contracts (i think is not...), but money is money. Even if it justs helps to cover fixed costs. But one thing I can be sure - if we ever want to see that kind of integration and beyond A-10, we must show our support to ED by BUYING the bloody thing. Then we can talk about compatibility and such.
