OutOnTheOP Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Oh, stop already. The question he's asking is which one you want, not which one you think is next. As for me, A-4. Barely more technologically advanced than the MiG15/F-86, small, light, maneuverable, and reputedly pleasant handling characteristics, and a surprisingly large payload for it's size. Used by many, MANY countries. Multi-role (for it's time, when BVR was very hit-or-miss). F-4 is neat, but it's two-seat, which does add some issues with the simulation (particularly since unlike the F-15E, the F-4's controls are not replicated in both seats). Besides, the F-4's handling characteristics were kinda crap, it wasn't very agile, and early marks had no internal cannon. I'd love the F-111, but it's too new for me to consider it a "legend"; it was just barely entering service at the end of the Vietnam war. Edited January 21, 2012 by OutOnTheOP
RAF74_Raptor Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I personally would love the F86 I came I saw I got blown up by a SA-8:pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.firstfighterwing.com/forums/content.php
Sov13t Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 @Peter: Yep, I know about the P-51B... you have a higher probability [zero] seeing me in the Geh-10 than the lawn mower. @Raptor: Agreed, F-86 vs MiG-15 over MiG alley... would be epic.

OutOnTheOP Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You know what I'd like to see even more that isn't on the list? F-8 Crusader. Or MiG-21. Which would be fantastic because it's a classic... and still in use by many nations. Better yet, a paired release: F-8 versus MiG-21
Scoggs Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I voted F-111. But while only recently decommissioned I would love to see an F-14 in DCS! I consider the Tomcat a legend.

213 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 none of them particularly interesting, though the f-104 was called the aerial coffin, which is funny in a morbid sense. so my vote goes there.
OutOnTheOP Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) yeah, F-104 would be by FAR my last choice from that list; it has the handling characteristics of a neurotic ballistic missile, and a nasty tendency for departing controlled flight. And who the %$(@ came up with the idea of making a non-maneuverable high-speed interceptor armed with WVR rear-aspect-only weapons? I mean.... if it can't turn, how's it ever supposed to employ them? At least F-102/ F-106 was a BVR platform.... *edit* Hm, I stand corrected. I thought the AIM-4/ AIM-26 had a considerably longer range... especially considering the latter was nuclear-tipped. I know *I* certainly wouldn't want to be firing nuclear missiles with a maximum range of a mere 6 miles >.< Edited January 22, 2012 by OutOnTheOP
gabesta Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 yeah, F-104 would be by FAR my last choice from that list; it has the handling characteristics of a neurotic ballistic missile, and a nasty tendency for departing controlled flight. The Director of Safety at ERAU in AZ when I was there used to fly F-104's in the German Air Force and later NASA. I asked him once about how he liked flying them. His response (in a thick German accent): "It was a very nice airplane, very fast. Had the lift coefficient of a piano."
OutOnTheOP Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Sounds about right. I reiterate; why would anyone make an interceptor primarily armed with rear-aspect missiles, then fail to make it agile enough to ever acheive a rear aspect shot? :noexpression: And I still say F8 Crusader. Classic gunfighter- now with with AIM-9 for extra fun!
Nate--IRL-- Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I would vote for MiG-21! Gets my vote too. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
VF-51_Razor Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Too bad the F8 Crusader was not included. Those who think they everything about aviation, are particularly annoying to those of us that really do ;)
beers Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 my 2-cents F-100 Super Sabre - mud mover worthy of being a Thunderbird vehicle for a spell, so it has to be some fun to fly. F-102 Delta Dagger - wouldn't the f-106 be a more interesting, yet equivalent idea? F-4 Phantom II - classic, cool and carrier op's!!! F-104 Star Fighter - my vote but probably just because it looks so cool, hope it's fun to fly A-4 Skyhawk - carrier op's!!! but it seems like a carrier-friendly A-10 with a less intense gun and out of date electronics... F-111 Aardvark - strikes me as a bit of an intellectual pursuit? How many intense combat moments does one experience at 50,000 ft? Mig-17 Fresco - yea, that looks like a lot of fun when paired up with the F-86 F-86 Sabre - must have if the Mig-17 is at the playground 2600K @ 4.2GHz, MSI P67A-GD55, 16GB G.Skill @2133 , GTX 970, Rift, SSD boot & DCS drive [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RogueRunner Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 A4 please!!!!!!! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
de.Impact Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Just let the years pass... F-4 please :) Guess F-14 isn't old enough :( But.... I'm 21 years right now. Somehow I'm lucky because someday there will be a F-14 Tomcat simulator out there, equivalent, no even better than what we have right now. :thumbup: There will be one ED, right ? RIGHT ? :cry::D
Turk10mm Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I grew up about 1 mile from a national guard base that flew Phantoms. The noise, smoke, and awesomeness of that jet is what created my passion for aircraft. Phantom, please.

effte Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 The A-6 would have had my vote, had it not been omitted. F-4? Lesse... no gun, you'd be depending upon an AI RIO to employ the systems effectively (which would be a never-ending source of annoyance - keep in mind the RIO will be as dumb as our current AI wingmen), can't really manoeuver? F-86 it has to be. Along with the P-51D, a nice Korea scenario going! 1 ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
Demongornot Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 A-4 is really nice but the legendary F-104 with the nice engine sound are awesome and the F-111 is a monster but dual seat in this configuration will cause fight in the cockpit, you use my switch, i use your switch, we use the same switch etc... The F-4 Will be perfect ! But finally for jet aircraft i wonder see the Tomcat !!! Or maybe the Mig 21 !
