hawk2495 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 not interested at all, waiting for real fignter. However, nice work :) The P-51D is a REAL fighter. More so than her modern counterparts. I'd guarantee most modern pilots couldn't begin to handle the stress of a squadron on squadron furball at 25,000 and only 300 knots. With contact ranges less than 100 meters more often than not. All while dodging fire from the bombers they're escorting, and defending flak from the Air Defenses near the target. That was real flying. The power of a Packard Merlin 60 and 6 Browning Ma Deuces, you can't go wrong with that. Why is the rum always gone!?!?!?!
digitaljjd Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You have been erased! Too funny! I'm excited about this! I hope future WWII aircraft will be in the works, but at the same time I am most eager and will be looking forward to being in line/preordering a DCS P-51. :thumbup:
GGTharos Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I'd guarantee most modern pilots couldn't begin to handle the stress of a squadron on squadron furball at 25,000 and only 300 knots. You should keep such guarantees to yourself ;) With contact ranges less than 100 meters more often than not. All while dodging fire from the bombers they're escorting, and defending flak from the Air Defenses near the target. That was real flying. The power of a Packard Merlin 60 and 6 Browning Ma Deuces, you can't go wrong with that. They were well versed in detached escort tactics - you want to intercept enemy fighters BEFORE they're so close that you have to dodge fire from your own bombers. But I agree with one thing you said: It is a real fighter :) [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

WildBillKelsoe Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 A P-51D?! Stick THAT in your cliffs of dover and smoke it... But I'm curious as to what it will have to fight.... It is not that bad, considering all we did in the 2 old modules was plain ground attack. It would be good to learn the P-51. GGTharos, I'm in, by hook, line and sink.. Guys, you must understand the word empathy. Put yourself in ED shoes. Would you like to have negative comments on a product that has not even been released? yet developed? I guess not. So, as a gesture of good faith in ED, and to support their work (which is too good to be true as usual), I stand corrected in my own rant. Now, we might stumble on a thing or two from this sim that might even help us with the understanding of the aerodynamics of flight. Maybe develop some skills too. And its a departure from the usual ground hogging, and vicking... I mean dogfights are part of military aviation too. It deserves some attention at some point in the lifetime of an enthusiast. Carry on, ED. And break a wing too! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.

effte Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Aaah, escort missions... I'll be there in my trusty Pony, loitering 2000 feet above the KC-135, ready to roll in on any bugger lining up on it's six. The stars on the wings of that dog-ugly aircraft is a ruse. Only the Jerries fly reaction-driven aeroplanes. Tally-ho! Wish it'd have been a Limey crate though, for the banter and the wonderfully interesting instrumentation. :) ----- 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.
RAF74_Raptor Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Well being apart of the COD debacle that was that sims release. Wags and TFC have my full support I will be buying because I know it will work. And that is what matters to me anyways. However I loved the Hitler Rant. I came I saw I got blown up by a SA-8:pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.firstfighterwing.com/forums/content.php
Luse Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Today: "OH NO ED HOW COULD U DO DIS 2 US1111?!?! Y U NO MAKE JET?!!?" Day of release: "Well, thank you chaps. you've provided us with yet another excellent simulation. We retract all previous complaints." Sometimes the people of these forums... Carry on ED, You have a promised purchase. Continue on! STT Radar issue is leftover code.

Tucano_uy Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Ok DCS, now you have to bundle the P51 with, at least: -Duxford airfield scenery and surroundings. -Airshow and air races themed structures (like an airfied full of public, inflatable pylons, cool paint schemes, pyrotechnics, etc) -Aerobatic competition scoring system. Maybe some of us will forget about blowing up stuff for a while and enjoy other aspects of flying.

MemphisBelle Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Well, I am definately lookingt forward for the P-51 and I will buy it, as I buy any product of ED, just to support ED. BUT I know ED is making a great Job and tries a lot to keep us being on the fly. But honestly...the community was expecting somethings more. I do not complain about the P-51 since I pretty much belive that I´ll have much fun with that bird. All I am talking about is that we actually should finally get some more information and may be some screenshots according the next DCS (Jet) Module. We have been waiting so patiently for any updates, which we haven´t got at all yet. Now we know somethings about the Mustang coming out sometime in 2012. is that really so hard to provide us some more specific information or some pre Alpha Screenshots to make us cry? Again, I am looking forward the Mustang, but some more detailed information would be good as well. BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection
