Currently they, and mavericks will be replaced by the common air to ground missile whenever that enters production, if it enters production.

aaron886 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 This I realize, my question is what other advantages are there? Lighter and more is an advantage in and of itself. Smaller and more precise munitions are becoming more popular because of the changing face of CAS... think of air support in Afghanistan and the possibility of Blue on Blue, or civilian casualties. We certainly aren't killing tanks over there, so the smallest boom that can still get the job done is what we need. Same concept as the Small Diameter Bomb.

Avilator Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 None. Currently they, and mavericks will be replaced by the common air to ground missile whenever that enters production, if it enters production. This makes the most sense. I know lighter and more is always good, I was just wondering if there was any other tactical factors that favored the Hellfire. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain!

STP Dragon Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 DCS:BS <-> DCS:A10 : It was announced! If this will not be compatible ED will loose a loooot of fans! DCS:BS <-> DCS:A10 <-> FC2 : I think ED will try it but will not get it to work.

Fahhh Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 AFAIK BS and FC2.0 share a very common structure. So the hardest part will be in making A-10C work with BS. From then on, making it compatible with FC2 I believe should be an easier task. And I doubt that they will leave the A2A guys fly on their own in FC2.0 until DCS:Fighter comes out. These are my main thoughts though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid_DK Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't think ED should spend time getting DCS: A-10C to work with FC 2, if you want to fly A-10's there an ok A-10A play with that, I'd much rather see energy being spend on the next DCS title, and having seen a short glimpse of the new F-15C (Thanks GA) One could hope that there was a DCS: Pale Eagle in the works...

GGTharos Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Currently what the next title will be is unknown, and as far as I know they may not even have yet settled on a specific aircraft within ED itself. However, there are definitely likely candidates and there will definitely be a next title. And another after that. And another. I don't think ED should spend time getting DCS: A-10C to work with FC 2, if you want to fly A-10's there an ok A-10A play with that, I'd much rather see energy being spend on the next DCS title, and having seen a short glimpse of the new F-15C (Thanks GA) One could hope that there was a DCS: Pale Eagle in the works...

Eddie Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Will playing Flaming cliffs 2 beforehand help you out with DCS A-10C? Perhaps in the respect of tactics and it'll give you a good idea of air to ground attack geometry, none on the FC aircraft are anything like the A-10C to fly or fight. If you've never done any fixed wing mud moving before, it'll help you get the tactics and attack geometry in your head, but in terms of flight model and aircraft systems not at all.

Nickhawk Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I read in an interview with Matt Wagner that DCS: A-10C will be released in a downloadable form by end of this year, is that true? And how long it would be take for the boxed version?

I'm not sure we got a proper response from the other thread, but will the sim be released at the same time as the downloadable game for those of us who prefer purchasing through Steam?
