Missions for the P-51?

[chaos]

Your museum is being overrun by enemy forces, evacuate P-51 with maintenance issues!

 

Heh...

 

This post made me laugh... and I've had a pretty crappy day. :)

[zaelu]

Two mp missions comes to mind .. dogfights.

 

P-51 vs A-10C (guns only)

 

 

 

:megalol: A10 is allowed only to taxi :joystick:

[Irregular programming]

-- Flight of time --

In a daring dogfight with the German fighter ace Hans Himmer your p51 gets hit by lightning and tumbles through a time-vortex into another dimension.

 

You end up dazzled and alone in 1994 and now you must fight to find a way to return to the past.

 

 

 

-- The radical squadron --

Your day job managing a scrap yard, but very few suspect that hidden in the garbage is your secret base.

 

With your p51 built entirely from scrap you now fight the criminals of metropolis to find the man who killed your parents.

 

A tale of super heroes, airplanes and explosions.

You have been watching too much Star Trek

I like the radical squadron idea myself. Always cool avenging your parents death by fighting crime!

[Krunkskimo]

Here's two scenarios that come to mind.

 

1. The Final Countdown 2

 

Air Force squadrons encounter a strange storm-like vortex and are mysterously sent foward in time at the break of the russian/georgian conflict.

 

2.

 

StangSmoke

 

Kind of like HogSmoke but with plenty of accuracy challenges, races, aerobatics, and leaderboards to take DCS compeititon to a whole new level.

--- Plane-man ---

 

You take the role of Mike, a scrawny american teenager who during a museum visit accidently cuts himself on a radioactive p51 from world war 2.

 

Now he has gained the power to transform into a plane. A power he uses to fly around the earth saving damsels in distress and fighting his nemesis and former classmate Steve. Who in similar vain cut himself on an SA-11 Gadfly anti air system.

I don't think so. :surprise:

 

You'll see in lot of cases, the old Mustang will be the dogfight winner. :gun_rifle:

[msalama]

Missions for the Mustang? Hmmm... somehow make it possible for humans to join the insurgents and cook up a scenario where they've acquired a batch of moth-balled Mustangs from a 3rd World country :D

[BIGNEWY]

Looking forward to P-51 V P-51

 

But any scenario that puts the P-51 in a modern combat scenario wont cut it for me.

 

I have said in other post's if someone was buying the P-51 only and no other DCS product they may be disappointed if they have not got a more believable role to play.

Heh...

:D

 

• No embarrassment intended. You've been chosen for a specific mission.
  
• To turn her into a museum, sir?
  The Wonderful World Of Corrosion?
  

 

 

[Hanzales]

I hope they come out with a 109 or a FW190 to fight.

Some B17s run by AI to protect would be fun.:music_whistling:

 

I've read entire thread just to find if it's mentoined by somebody ;o)

 

That was my first idea. I think (AI) handled B17's, Me-109 and trains would be great too.

[AtaliaA1]

Looking at the size of that rusted ship compared to the one behind it, makes me wonder how the military used such a small boat?

 

it looks like a metal ver. of those Vietnam Fishing boats.

thats a submarine lol

[Squid_DK]

Well front is a Gato or Balao fleet submarine, behind are CG's just about 10.000 tons of difference and at least a generation aswell, the Gato/Balao is a WW II boat and the cruisers are cold war missile shooters. still a sad sight to see the mothballed vessels, but evolution is a neverending story in the naval arms race.

 

And we need a DDG-51 class ship for the series!

I don't get it. The P-51 is a little bit out of context here. I mean it's a beatifull fighter, but there are a lot of ww2 fighters that are great and could be used with the P-51 in a sepperate 1940's world.

 

So, why not build an acording to DCS standards world with an acording to DCS standards WW2 airplanes. In my opinion Ill 2 never really had a real life feal to it and DCS deffinatly has. So getting in the way of already existing thing/gametype,can't find the right word at the moment, would not be an issue for me. But thats just my opinion.

 

If I could make a suggestion. I would build a couple of eras in this game. So they could make more airplanes like a ME-109, the almost finished P-51, Hawker Hurricane, spitfire, you name it, in a 1940's era situated in Europe or the pasific. The era the airplanes got famous in. Or a 1960's Vietnam era with the Mig 21 or 17, the A4 skyhawk, F4 Phantom and my favorite, the F-105 Thunderchief, ofcourse situated in Vietnam with the jungles and everything. And ofcourse the modern times era for the A-10C and Ka-50 situated in the current map that comes with the game today. By the way, I only named these wars, because to my knowledge, these were the wars planes got specialy built for and got famous in.

 

In my opinion that would be great. This idea would make it more realistic, because you won't have a P-51 trying to dodge a SA-6 sam or whatever type of sam they have today. So this idea of making more eras and then build planes for that era would make the context more fitting to the plane.

 

Don't get me wrong, I know ED has to have enough information about the aircraft they are making for the game and that it's easier said than done. But all I'm trying to say is that in my opinion, this would make it feel more... "right".

That was not the point. I do appreciate things from the past. Even more so than things of the pressent. I would love a P-51. But then I would love to play it in it's glorydays in the 1940's. Like I would love to play a DCS F-105 Thunderchief in it's glorydays in the 60's in Vietnam.

 

Anyway, Just like to say that in my opinion. Ill 2 sucks dogs for quarters! Sorry had to get that off my chest.

Believe me, get a mod like Ultrapack 3.0 or HSFX for IL-2, and hop on a server with a few friends, it's an amazing game.

[Frostie]

Air Show 3000 - Don't be late

 

Leave Batumi airspace

Arrive at MinVody

Which triggers airshow

Do airshow for 10 minutes

Then rtb. If your too late 15 enemy Iglas spawn at Batumi.

Enjoy!

[msalama]

it's an amazing game.

 

A game maybe. But as a simulator it'll never be on DCS's level, mods or not.

[Charly_Owl]

Some missions would definitely be appreciated. I play combat flight sims mostly for that thrill you have when there's a fighter on your tail, when you manoeuver and pull those high-Gs... Combat is an essential part of the game, in my humble opinion because it challenges your skills more than ever and provides a different, dynamic experience every time.

 

BF109 and/or FW190 would be reasonable opponents for dogfights. Escorting bomber squadrons could be interesting too. Bombing T55s to smithereens is absolutely a must. Triple-A batteries, bridges, airfields... Lots of potential targets.

 

I really sincerely hope that ED will provide some kind of missions or semi-realistic campaign.

[maxmax]

Just one point concerning mission and realism and the fact that a10 and p51 are different era planes.

 

This is just my opinion, but I think that credibility and plausibility are words to be used, and not realistic. All flight models are realistic, but that doesnt mean all scenarios are plausible.

 

A10 + BS in the same mission is kind of credible and plausible, since it could be possible that for example Georgia has some sharks. And that USA and Georgia team up on Russia. Not realistic, but credible in a way. Sort of.

 

At the same time it's neither plausbile nor credible to have a p51 attacking modern era equipment, no matter how realistically it's simulated.

But what about Fun? is that not a word too? :)

 

You do have a point - but there is no need for an artificial restriction, to be "plausbile nor credible", in mission making however.
