Avilator Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 A spitfire can shoot me down. That's how bad I am at A2A. Fighter pilots can't drop a bomb on a barn door, that's why they hate the A2G boys Bomber pilots can't hit a drone, that's why they hate the fighter girls and Multi-role pilots are s**t at both but at lest they admit it by flying a multi-role A/C p.s. i think it'll be the Viper. What are you flying when you are shot down by the Spit? WWI era biplane? Or 4th gen jet? I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

joey45 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'll laugh if it's the F4... but I heard that we're [uK] getting the F/A -18 [and dropping the F-35] somewhere...

Nikeleye Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 From my post elsewhere... I think the attraction of more than just 'combat' as a major pillar of the DCS series would suggest that carrier operations are a possibility. ED have developed a full fidelity cockpit simulator with land-based aircraft designed for air-to-ground combat solely. Let's be presumptuous and knowing that the next module will be a USAF/USMC/USN fixed-wing, and they'd want to make best use of the pre-made A2G aspect, and (hopefully) add the A2A aspect; it could be the F-16C/D given that there's 1200+ of them around the USA and that's a lot of pilots to train due to natural wastage , or an F/A-18E/F, given there's ~400 of them in USN service with another ~120 ordered, again needing much in the way of pilot training both new and replenishment. In my (amateur and uninformed) opinion that gives those two much more chance of a DTS contract with TFC than, say, an F-15, -22 or AV-8B. When you consider an aircraft such as the F/A-18 it seems like to not add carrier operations would be wrong... and we saw in Lock On that ED have the basics of carrier operations down, so while ambitious I definately think they have the skill level to pull it off in a DCS-level sim environment. Given there's more new F/A-18s being ordered and Jim specifically mentioned a 'US' aircraft i'm swayed more that it'll be a Super Hornet. Coincedentally I also want it to be the Hornet... but I heard that we're [uK] getting the F/A -18 [and dropping the F-35] somewhere... Dirty rumour spread by some MoD types as they thought it'd be cheaper to bin the F-35 now in favour of the F/A-18E/F with a cheap deal for the next refit (G/H or whatever) in 202X. Keeping with JSF but switching to the -35C makes much more economical sense. Or even more economical sense, dump JSF and buy 14 (12 + 2 trainer/redundancy) Naval Rafale's, so when CdeG goes into 2-year refit as QE is commissioned we share the QE with her large capacity, then as CdeG gets seaborne again we each have a squadron with spares/trainers, then when QE no doubt has a "gardening" refit in 2025 they all move to CdeG for however long. If we're gonna make a deal with the French we may aswell get the most outta it. :music_whistling: /offtopic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealN Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Having fixed inlet doesn't save it. That's a deficiency. Fuel is an issue as well.

shu77 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hornet is what the industry needs. Not withstanding 7g's contribution, its time someone covered the carrier aspect. That said same deal for a decent Strike eagle remake. Of whats out there though an F-16 seems the most easy to do.

*Rage* Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'd love it to be the hornet but I still think its likely to be the viper or eagle. I really enjoyed James f/a-18 even though the FM just felt wrong.

51GRIZZLY Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) To start with im sure of at least two things and that is. One: ED has been working on whatever is coming next for several months allready. Two: And people who have been working with A-10 up til recently are now working on the new project full time to get it on track within the expected timeframe .... Let me guess (optimistically) around Christmas. Meantime there will be a patch or two for the A-10 Finally i wish and hope (allthough i think they won't tell us anytime soon) the follow up will be a Flanker or MIG .... But thats just me :smilewink: Edited February 26, 2011 by <51>GRIZZLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boberro Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I see you are part of the people who cannot do A2A :D Now the question is, are you part of those who rather than admitting it claim that A2G is 'more fun', or part of those who know they're no good at it? ;) Bombers are for those who want somethin' more than GheyTopGun ;) I know you know pure A2A (F-15C) would be so booooring... F-16/F-18>F15 F-16/F18 multiroles are the best. Period. Thank you. :D Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

Avilator Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 ^^I agree. Way more fun if you fight off bandits on the way in, bomb the hell out of something, and fight the way out.
