New next western jet poll

[Squid]

Since the other thread didn't include all possible wishes and possibilities and its cluttered also by now at 400+ pages, i am attempting this. Feel free to vote more than one. Your votes could be a combination of what you think is ED working on and what you would like it to be.

[Jona33]

Easy choice. Harrier FTW.

Another 'What_aircraft_do_you_really_want_to_be_introduced_with_DCS_quality' poll. No, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :cry_2::spam_laser:

Stop to say that the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet its impossible, like i have already say a lot and a lot of time the first Super Hornet before any upgrade have the same electronic than the F/A-18C Hornet !!!

 

From wikipedia :

Hughes APG-73 or Raytheon APG-79 Radar

Northrop Grumman/ITT AN/ALE-165 self-protection jammer pod or BAE Systems AN/ALE-214 integrated defensive electronic countermeasures system

Raytheon AN/ALE-50 or BAE Systems AN/ALE-55 towed decoy

Northrop Grumman AN/ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receiver

MIDS LVT or MIDS JTRS datalink transceiver

 

APG-73 will have almost 30 years, its an upgrade of the old APG-65 and its the same for every other part of the avionic.

From here : http://www.airrecognition.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=140

The Super Hornet's original avionics and software have a 90% commonality with then current F/A-18C/Ds.

 

And anyways if maybe 1 or 2 little things are classified its just can be deleted by ED, the military version of DCS A10C its not the same than the civil and the Super Hornet its older than the A10C !!!

The data of the F/A-18E Super Hornet are NOT classified for the first version, ok the upgraded version yes, but the first its not and we can have it !!

And its better than the F/A-18C/D for several things, including more weapons capability.

 

The E can carry 1000Kg of weapons, for strike mission 6500Kg on take off, 150Km mission range and for air superiority mission at 240Km of the carrier can flight 1h more than the F/A-18C

Weapons : C 7031kg, E 8051kg

Take off weight : C 23541kg, E 29937kg

Range : C 466km, E 627km

And endurance for air superiority mission at 240Km from the carrier C: 1h15, E 2h15

 

The Super Hornet its possible to have and its better than the C/D !!!

+1, but need a decent 3D model of N°6 or Kara Thrace... :music_whistling:

add n°8...

i know people want carrier operation with f-18a, and we all know that's the choice with the largest liklihood of being true with the revelation about the domain name registration. however since the poll also asks what we would like to see, not just what we think is the most possible, i chose f-15c for its superior(in my view) aesthetics.

[ergn]

Why are f-22 and f-35 not possible? Are the specifications classified? I would like to use 20 years old technology instead of 50 years old technology. How did "total air war" simulated f-22?

[Eddie]

Are the specifications classified?

 

Yes, very.

 

How did "total air war" simulated f-22?

 

It didn't.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for the F-16C. More capable than the F/A-18A/C, classified at a level realistically allowing a DCS-grade simulation (unlike the F-15E and F/A-18E/F), multi-role, and, unlike the F/A-18 (all varieties), NOT ass ugly.

 

Yes, I know, there are other simulations out there (from 1998). There are ALSO other simulations of the F-15E and F/A-18, both of which are as recent (1998 and 1999 respectively) as the last COMMERCIAL release of an F-16 simulator. Saying "the market is saturated with quality F-16 simulators" like so many of the Viper-bashers claim is just plain disingenuous. No, they are not DCS quality. No, they do not simulate the latest marks or all the capabilities of the F-16C. No, they do NOT have a flight model even in the same realm of that offered by DCS. Fun games, but not DCS.

 

As much as I'd love the F-15E, the logistics of doing a dual-seater at DCS fidelity means to me it'd only be worth playing online... and if you could find a cooperative WSO. Besides that, it's capabilities- particularly in A/A- are such an overmatch for realistic opposition that I personally would find A/A combat unexciting; it would be mostly long-range AMRAAM shots followed by disengage and putting distance from the threat; the -15E is too valuable to risk in a close fight

[Weta43]

Saying "the market is saturated with quality F-16 simulators" like so many of the Viper-bashers claim is just plain disingenuous.

 

On SIMHQ forums under "General Air Combat (modern era) there is currently 1 forum header for DCS.A-10C Warthog, and 5 forum headers for F-4 in all its various incarnations - the market is if not saturated with F-16 sims, then at least well watered with them

[Squid]

even with bms 4.2 i cant motivate myself to spend more than few minutes in F4. i never had. And i love the F-16. And to my view they are all just a single old dinosaur simulator : F4 :P

[Sanch0]

Thanks for updated poll.

[Squid]

Thanks for updated poll.

 

don't mention it :) since there are other disturbed people like me who get excited about voting and i didn't annoy the mods :D it was about time maybe :P lol

[Phantom88]

I'd like to land something on this:thumbup:

[Squid]

some decepticons ?

[stelios2000]

I voted F-16C....Although i would prefer F-16D missionissed with CFT

or the french Mirage2000-5 MK2 C(/D !!!!!)

I'm missing AT-802U in the pool...

Really, I think ed wants to make money, not lose it.

Really, I think ed wants to make money, not lose it.

I'd vote AT-802U in preference to the 'DCS Legend', whatever that will be.

[MoGas]

TOMCAT baby, anytime... :)

[hog_driver111th]

What about the F/A-18F, or better yet the G version.
