DCS: big jets

[Cali]

B1 takeoffs here at Tinker, a sound experience.

I don't think they get out of afterburner untill about 6 miles down range.

Takes maybe a minute plus a few seconds, then its quiet again.

 

I remember watching B-1 take off at night in Gaum, awesome sight! Looks like I may be seeing that again.....soon. :noexpression:

[Silver_Dragon]

big jets +1

 

But a very high integration problem (multicrew, systems, terrain avoidance, bombing systems, weapons, etc)

[Ghanja]

Won't be long and someone will be asking for this one ... :geek:

 

[Bullitt]

AC-130U for sure.

 

But in DCS perhaps a MC-130W would be best with CA coming on line.

 

MC-130W can insert 20-30 SOF troops, provide Non traditional ISR in support and has low colateral damage munitions to support and aerial refuel other aircraft in the stack. Now thats multi tasking!

 

Actually this is a brilliant idea, or better yet both. You drop troops into the battlefield and your buddy comes in right behind you in the AC-130 and lays down support fire for them. That would be great fun.

Generally you would want to reverse that....better to prep the LZ, than to try to coordinate fires with troops on the ground in potential close contact... :thumbup:

Come on, an entire thread on big jets, and the An-225 only gets one mention so far? :doh:

 

In all seriousness, I'd put my vote in for the An-124/225 (I think the flight manual is out there for the 124 at least) and C-5B, but the map isn't really suited for strategic airlifters. Now, on the other hand, if we had a Bering Strait map, with parts of Alaska and Kamchatka. :music_whistling:

[djembe]

DCS:Big jets is a very good idea. Tankers, awacs, transports, bombers, Yeahhhh

Some third parties have to look at this post if they want my money, I prefer this to a fighter aircraft not well simulated.

[Woogey]

@ Antonov225

 

The Bering straights all the Way! I have posted this elsewhere in the forums, Alaska Vs. Siberia. Perfect classic battle map. Naval battles, open tundra, mountains, and forests. An energy crises fuels a battle for resources. Classic plot line. An as stated perfect for tactical airlifters.

AC-130U for sure.

Let's combine DCS with the pro ArmA community..

Then we can give the ground crew some support from the air :P

 

On topic: Hell yeah for the B-1B

[Phantom88]

BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

 

[Corrigan]

The Globemaster model needs some TLC anyway, so I wouldn't complain!

It would be awesome to hear "rebel scum" as the target description in a JTAC nine-line.

[Zakatak]

I would much rather have the Pegaus. :music_whistling:

 

 

Although this would be nice too:

 

[Backy 51]

An MC-130H Combat Talon II would be a great choice. They do low level work at night, on NVGs, in Indian Country, inserting SOF personnel and equipment via airland and airdrop.

 

The AC-130U would be my second choice.

Would love to see any Herc capable of performing CDS, HE or Personnel airdrop!

 

... I also vote for DCS - Flight Surgeon (large knuckles optional) ;-D

Declare your entire multiplayer opposition DNIF for the sniffles right before starting the session! LOL

+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.

;)

was that the vulcan at east fortune by any chance

Nope but I do have a picture of me with that Vulcan :)

A friend is one of the driving forces at Solway Aviation Museum and he gave me the keys to their Vulcan for a look see :)

I used to work with David Kirkpatrick in CCTV for ADT, the director of the division I worked for was also a big aviation fan, down to having a a flying spitfire in his office going round and round hanging from the ceiling :D

^ yeah

 

check the "about/our customers" page

unfortunately ED did not buy this AC yet, 2000$ is not cheap but maybe they will get some discount if they buy a "package"

seems ED bought that E-2D model which is in the sim already

If you want big jets an-225 is the best way to go... Although we would need some bigger runways

[MacEwan]

Once we get multi-crew capability we need an AC-130. Could you imagine how sweet that would be.
