Temphage Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My guesses are F-16, F-15C or F/A-18E. I highly doubt it would be a two-seater. The F-15E with a hot-swap function between seats wouldn't matter, seeing as how you can basically control everything from the back cockpit if you had to. You even get a HUD repeater on the MPDs so you can see out :]
GGTharos Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I'm not convinced that the SH is in need of a DTS ... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Itkovian Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My guesses are F-16, F-15C or F/A-18E. I highly doubt it would be a two-seater. Aye, they have a good philosophy going concerning single-seaters, they wouldn't violate it. It would have to be one of those three.... but even the Superhornet is dubious. Isn't one of the pre-requisites that they have extensive access to aircraft systems and data? Not that I would be adverse to a nice simulation of pitching-deck night traps, mind you. :) Itkovian
GGTharos Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 The chance of getting an accurately modeled electronic attack bird is pretty close to zero. That aside, two seats, pitching decks, a2a and a2g radars are not barriers for producing a sim. They're challenges, but not barriers. As your're wishing the F-15E: Why not hoping for the EA-18G?

ecoli360 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I would love to fly a 2 seat fighter/bomber aircraft like F-15E, but if everything is classified I can see the problem. But imagine you as the radar operater in the backseat and the AI is flying the plane.
dotChuckles Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Maybe I'm weird... But the F-15C would bore me to tears, and on the face of it, it seems to be the most likely candidate unfortunately. F-15E however, that's a different story. Would be very happy with the F-16 or 18 though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Even better, your buddy in the front over multiplayer (PS: The guy in the back is the WSO, not an RO, though it might be more accurate to call him a 'PO or Pod Operator' :)).

Temphage Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Yep, "not a pound for air to ground" means a whole helluva lot of time just circling waiting for bandits. :megalol: Given how KA-50 and A-10 are ground-attack and most of the game assets involve air-to-ground warfare, this is why I think the C-model is unlikely. The F/A-18 and F-16 can both serve in ground-attack roles, albeit they aren't nearly as dedicated to the task...

Steel Jaw Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 We need a multi role jet so that implies the superhornet, plus ED was asking for CV Vinson hirez pics last year, so...

F-15E however, that's a different story. Would be very happy with the F-16 or 18 though. F-15 is out of the question for now unless something went 180 degrees off at ED recently. It will be either the F-16 or 18, but the hornet had less available documentation till recently, Im basing myself on clues given over the years by staff of ED. .
Yskonyn Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I would be thrilled if its going to be a Superbug or an F-16 module.

graywo1fg Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I agree. Though i bet you would be quite happy to get a 15E? :) Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg
Pilotasso Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 when I spoke about the Eagle I was assuming the C version following CHUCKLES quote. The F-15E is a recent rumour started by a Spanish site in the eve of their "dia de los inocentes" a sort of 1st of April. Good piece of reverse disinformation if that confirmed to be true. :D .

exodus Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 isn't there already a key command provided for toggling the tailhook?
GGTharos Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 You do realize that USAF jets also equip tailhooks? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

Yskonyn Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Flying the SuperBug in FSX is nice for a technical point of view, but I rather have a DCS combat environment to play with it. And please, do not meantion the upcoming weapons expansions for FSX. That is NOT what I mean. :D But sure, an F-15E module would kick butt as well, but I would like some proper carrier ops. Hence my Superbug vote.
