Slayer Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I'm making a new thread to seperate from the fighter wishlist. I know that no large aircraft are even hinted at yet but maybe some 3rd party will pick up the torch and give us something. I know multi crew positions hasn't been worked out yet but there are lots of large military aircraft out there that many would like to fly that would fit great into the DCS world battlespace. They are an important part of any Air Force. These are a few of my favorites, please add your own and hopefully someone will listen. US ----- B-1B Lancer B-52 G/H Bomber KC-135 Tanker C-17 Globemaster E-3 AWACS C-130 Transport AC-130 Gunship Russian --------- Il-76 Tu-26 Tu-160 Tu-95 Tu-16 Tu-22 Edit: I realise some are prop jobs ...but you get the point.

G-Lock91 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Would be neat to fly the KC-135...

joey45 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 What and no V bombers?????? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Bullitt Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I think it would actually be a blast with the B-1B. 600knts at 60ft off the ground with that big bugger. A little like the F-15E only on steroids and protein shakes.
Slayer Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 What and no V bombers?????? I wouldn't mind seeing a Vulcan B.Mk1 but i know very little of the british bombers from the cold war era.

Grimes Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Transports - Depends on how the aircraft would interact with the rest of the world. Delivering supplies as part of resource management could be interesting. But the more appealing usage would be delivering air dropped cargo of troops, supplies, psy-ops, or even a MOAB with the C-130. Tankers - Would be fun to occasionally tank up other players as the boom operator. The USN uses F-18s to buddy tank quite often, so that could be a decent and enjoyable substitute if/when the F-18 gets put into the sim. Bombers - Hell yes. AC-130 - Would be amazing. AWACS- Flying it wouldn't be as interesting as something that behaves like a dedicated command and control platform. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

joey45 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Which one???? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

PepeThePilot Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 SR-71 Blackbird, but ED is going to have to add a lot more land and possibly even space....
VIKBELL Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I beleive the B-1b would be great there is only 4 crews... There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy. Robert Shaw

Delivering supplies as part of resource management could be interesting. But the more appealing usage would be delivering air dropped cargo of troops, supplies, psy-ops, or even a MOAB with the C-130. You took it from my mouth, man!!! Yes! Just if Combined Arms would feature resource management system, perhaps one could easily overlook and fly the entire aspect of a base to a front/rear location. Let's start with something easy, the ammunition. 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.
Double_D Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Well, in line with the P-51D Mustang...I would also like to see a B25 Mitchell and a B17 bomber group..more so the B25 Mitchell since there was a Bomber squadron of Tuskegee..:music_whistling: [TABLE][/url][sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic89949_15.gif[/sIGPIC][/Table] Recruiting for Aerobatic Team/Fighter Group...

Sceptre Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 My wish: 1. B-1B 2. P-3K Orion 3. Антонов АН-225 4. B-24 5. C-17 I would love to see heavies, but first we must crack the nut of 2 seater aircraft.

Daze Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I think it would be cool as hell to fly the KC-135 and also to have the boom operator position modelled [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.
Bluedrake42 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I'd really like it if you could walk around inside the plane to get to different positions to operate it, that'd be awesome http://www.youtube.com/bluedrake42 Subscribe to me
Deadsix Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 The B1-B would be awesome. I would love to see one in DCS.
Alicatt Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 +1 more for the V bombers, been a while but I was in a Vulcan back in the 90s, one that had done the round trip to Port Stanley. Valiant - The first British aircraft to drop an atomic bomb Victor - refueled the Vulcan on it's way to the Falklands Vulcan - Completed the longest bombing run in history UK to Falklands and back Oh and of course we need that little interceptor to go with them - The Lightning ;) Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
Snoopy Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 BUFF!!! Although honestly don't have an interest flying a bomber. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
jazjar Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Me either, although, the positions for jamming/ECM operator might be interesting though, as well as stations for bombardier. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Slayer Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Look at that 8 pack of ALCM. During my SAC days in the cold war those would have been nukes. The B-52 is a fearsome weapon. During Desert Storm thousands Iraq soldiers were surrendering so fast after getting hit by our buffs that the army didn't know what to do with them all. We got to watch classified movies in the base theater of our boys giving them hell. Even though we were at war I felt sorry for the soldiers getting carpet bombed in their caves. Scary stuff.

[FD]Ripper Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Would be neat to fly the KC-135... Boom operator maybe? :) me too !
Hornet85 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 +1 to the previously mentioned SR-71 Being a gunner for the AC 130 would be amazing too.
