ZQuickSilverZ Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Without going into too much detail (because I think this is too good to be true personally) I heard they are going to include a helicopter in FC3. Black Shark was originally supposed to be a FC2 title so who knows? Has anybody else heard this? I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original.

joey45 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 BS was going to be an addon for FC but it sort of expanded into a seprate tittle. And thus DCS was born. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Pyroflash Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Helicopters survive when they are on the ground away from the action, or have adequate top cover. Helicopters do not operate in regions where the enemy has complete air superiority. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
Wolfie Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Please no... How are helicopters suppose to survive among all the fixed wing jets? Plus I don't really like helicopters... Lol, oh, I should try to see if I still have any video of a Ka-50 turning my A-10 into metal shreds. Never get too close to a heli anywhere within its plane of movement. Their fire-control computers can easily computer your lead once the shkval gets a good lock. And their vhikers can reach out to 7km at a good speed.

Grimes Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 MP missions simply don't need every possible aircraft to be flyable. But I do hope FC3 adds something in the flyable department. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Griffin Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) That would certainly be interesting. Non DCS quality helo with AFM. Hmm... I guess that could be a major selling point for me as I'm a huge rotorsexual but don't really have time to study new DCS aircraft. Other than that I don't really see a point in paying for a graphics update for FC2. It must have something much more major than just an engine update ie AFM for every aircraft and/or new ones.

EagleEye Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 ...It must have something much more major... What about that resource management system, if it will be in?;) As a rotorhead I would like the idea of a playable helicopter in FC3.:) Deutsche DCS-Flughandbücher SYSSpecs: i7-4790K @4GHz|GA-Z97X-SLI|16GB RAM|ASUS GTX1070|Win10 64bit|TrackIR5|TM Warthog/Saitek Pro Pedals
Griffin Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Battlefield commander? Maybe for some but not for single player. :( So far not enough info to get me buy it but we don't know all the features yet! If I'll have the time and money I'll definately buy it to play online but with current info I don't see a point buying the same barbie in a prettier dress.
Pyroflash Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 But you'd make Ken sad, as his Barbie deserves a prettier dress. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

galagamo Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 3D pits, All I need to justify purchasing FC3, but yea something new to fly like say..a Mig-21, or an F-18 perhaps? Nothing fancy, but it would be nice. As far as I'm concerned FC3 is just going to be FC2 with HDR and other features from the current DCS engine, no need to get my hopes up just yet.
