The F16 has been done done done. We need a hardcore mud hen!

 

If we get the F-15E,with that much fire power, that much speed,we will not be able to find anyone to fly A-10C buddy... :pilotfly:At least i'm assuming that way..

I will buy it but I probly wont fly it I love the A-10. The only thing that will pull me away will be the AH-64.

Has it really? There hasnt been a high fidelity F-16 simulator since Falcon, which was released 12 years ago... Id love the next DCS aircraft to be an F-16, but right now Im looking forward to the Hog :D

Agree! It would be great with two ground attack aircraft of the 1991 Gulf War. All we need is a new map of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, and we're good to fly in the Gulf War!

 

But... the F-16 also would add more options and depth. (Crossing fingers for both):D

GW? Ok... so gimme MiG-25 :joystick:

 

Btw, i'm pretty sure that there is a topic for future aircraft wishlists :music_whistling:

Mig-25 turned out to be a pretty underwhelming aircraft.

Wasnt mig25 a recon bomber? I would love to see DCS with 15 flyables, but I will be a bit old by then at the current speed. Not sure how long IL2 took, and not sure how accurate their FMs are, but it is enjoyable to jump into many different planes.

The Mig-25 was designed as a high altitude interceptor in reaction to the U-2 and SR-71. It was fast but performance in other areas was lacking. It actually prompted the development of the F-15, which turned out to be a much better aircraft.

not really. it turned out to be less than what it was believed to be, but that doesn't make it underwhelming. not to the f-18 shot down by it, at least.

That F-18 shoot down was just suspected, not confirmed. True, the Mig-25 could go fast, but it made a lot of sacrifices in it's design. Very poor maneuverability, poor low altitude handling, heavy weight and inefficient engines gave it a very short combat radius.

 

I think the Mig-29 and Su-27 where much better aircraft.

You do know the circumstances under which this happened, right?

The F-18's were told to wait for F-15 cover, and were denied self-escort.

From the appearance of the mig25 engines I can believe they were inefficient. Looking at images they seem absolutely massive. The thing should have easily been able to beat an SR-71

What does appearance have to do with engine efficiency? :P

if it were not tragic, that would be so family guy material.

Ya, you really can't compare the Mig-25 to the SR-71. The Mig-25 could do a very short burst to Mach 3.2 with full afterburner in which the engines get destroyed in quick order. The SR-71 can cruise at Mach 3.2+ for very long distances.

Yup .. that day the USN went off on the USAF and told them their flights would now be making their own decisions and using USN controllers.

SR-71 engines were completely different from the foxbat. This ones were just big turbojets, while the blackbirds were hybrid turbojet/ramjet. The reason why it could fly faster for longer periods was because it switched to ramjet mode for supersonic cruise. An option the mig didnt have. The mig did surprise the Israelis and were the only Iraqi aircraft capable of clashing with american aircraft and live to tell the story, thanks to its shear speed. (But then didnt score much a score either)

Were they armed with anything for self defence?

Other funded improvements to the A-10 fleet include a new data link, the ability to employ smart weapons such as the Joint Direct Attack Munition ("JDAM") and Wind Corrected Munitions Dispensor, and the ability to carry an integrated targeting pod such as the Northrop Grumman LITENING targeting pod or the Lockheed Martin Sniper XR Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP). Also included is the ROVER or remotely operated video enhanced receiver to provide sensor data to personnel on the ground.
