tsb47 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Looking awesome. Cannot wait for these new aircraft, new theatres and EDGE. Roll on Monday. Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit | i7-4790K@4GHz | 8GB RAM | GTX970 347.52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentLaw Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 creation of auxiliary components, such as: Tanks, Ships, AI Only Aircraft and much more. These items are heavily related to our theatre development plans, and represent one of our most ambitious undertakings. A couple of related questions: First, will the tanks (and other ground vehicles) be Combined Arms compatible? (Might be fun to have some more stuff to drive around!) Second, will the new ground vehicles work in all theaters? Do I need to own a specific theater to have access to certain ground units? Oh, was I supposed to be more excited about the new airplanes? Maybe on monday ; ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoJoe Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hmmm, the picture for "Theatre Dev" looks suspiciously like a 20mm Oerlikon machine gun mounted on a ship... WW2 theatre incoming? Also, excellent news, and can't wait to see what's coming down the pipe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimitryNZ Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I really hope it's a SU-24 (any variant IDC) as that is my dream DCS vehicle :) . DCS needs a fast dual seat all-weather attack aircraft that can attack ships and do SEAD missions. The only SEAD/Anti-Ship vehicle really in DCS is the SU-25 (including the T variant) which is NOT at all designed for that role as it is just too slow and susceptible to AA missiles. Also the dual seat capability of the SU-24 would make MP attack missions more fun and somewhat easier (as to have a designated pilot and weapons operator). The SU-24 is also quite similar to the MiG-23 but can take more than just Air-to-air missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EngineerFalcon Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Su-24 would be awesome. I've been doing lots of research on this aircraft and it's just amazing. There's even a special version of the Beryoza with 360 coverage ! What other swing-wing aircraft have ground radar ? Tu-22M and Tu-160... But that's more of a dream right now :) Great news Leatherneck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipp Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Great update! Glad to hear that you're focusing on projects that others seem to shy away from. I'm very surprised (positively) that you're willing to ship proper period maps and units with your plane modules! I'm not a fan of current DCS WW2 because of the 50$ price tag per plane and then an additional price for the map. If you're indeed working on a Corsair, I'll be much more willing to buy your WW2 plane. :) Keep up the great work! Mandatory pitchforks and torches because you're leaving us high and dry until Monday. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared9191 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 SU-24, A-6 , or F-111. Any of these three I'd happily buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Excellent newsletter, thank you very much. I am so impressed that the next two aircraft will be bundeled with matching theatres and you are committed to provide supporting AI aircraft, ships and ground units. This shows that you do not want your aircraft to exist in a vacum, which makes LNS truly stand out among the DCS developers (including ED). I am very exited to learn the details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG-1_Vogel Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Awesome blog! An LN don't sweat we were just going a little stir crazy after the hype train reached LEO. Just a little while longer now! Very curious about the ground radar, my initial thought was "OH! MiG-27!" but that didn't have an A2G radar did it? Just the wee sensor thingmibob at the front.

Rangi Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hmmm, the picture for "Theatre Dev" looks suspiciously like a 20mm Oerlikon machine gun mounted on a ship... WW2 theatre incoming? My thoughts too and with a larger barrel in top left, it looks a bit like a US navy WWII aircraft carrier gun gallery. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.

JG-1_Vogel Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Was just thinking... F-14... Su-24. Fleet CAP against attacking Fencers with anti-ship missiles? AWESOME! I might actually prefer the Fencer over the Tomcat (sorry!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greekbull Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Well, t hose are great news! Looks like an exciting year for us. :thumbup: On a related side-note: Really looks like the F-14's rear end! :thumbup: Yes that is almost certainly the back end of an F-14. It is definitely a twin tailled plane but there's no mistaking the shape at the bottom of the stabilizer.... And again Air to Ground would point towards the F-14D. The tomcat is still the only plane that fits the bill with all the clues...

King_Hrothgar Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 They didn't specify what the A2G radar was for. I didn't know the F-14D had it but honestly, I'd be a little surprised if they did a D over an A or A+. I'm betting the A2G radar is for one of the two unknowns (or both of them). We'll know more Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0x1s Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) The picture looks more like a Su-24 than F14 to me. The F-14 got two tails. Looks like one tail in the picture. Maybe its just the angle. Whatever i cant imagine if there is a Su-24. My dream might come true :D Edited March 1, 2015 by T0x1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
