Devil 505 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hey gents, Razbam just posted a new cross sectional of a new aircraft they said will be done after the Falklands map. The photo is on their Facebook page. Can anyone tell me what aircraft that is. It did not appear to be the OV-10 so it has peaked my curiosity. I saw the military seats, so, no clue.

grunf Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Looks like Pucara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 505 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I agree after looking it up. That is what it is. Thanks! Need to research this bird. I do not know anything about it. I will still buy it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still buy it though. I'll definitely buy it. It may not be the most popular aircraft, but for me it's very interesting turboprop COIN/light attack, well suited for Falkland map. Nice change of pace after all the fast jets. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice change of pace after all the fast jets. :D I see interesting fights coming to the air near you - L39, C101 and Pucas against each others. Should be the most comparable fights I think? (I dont know anything about the Puca, just saw the wikipedi aarticle - But the trainers could be the best enemy they can get in our world besides WW2 planes) 1000 flights, 1000 crashes - perfect record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baco Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Well the IA-58 Pucará is a light attack airplane, design to deal with insurgents. so basicly a COIN aircraft. its Turbo Prop, can carry shit loads of ordinance including two 20mm Hispano 802 canons and four 7.62 machine guns, plus 3,570 lb of ordinance. Dumb Bombs, Rockets, Napalm, Cluster bombs, gun pods and Even torpedos have been tried on this beast witch its original wings plans were from Kurt Tank Himself when he worked at Fabrica Militar de Aviones.

QuiGon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It's been known for a while, that RAZBAM plans to do the Pucara. Take a look at this 24 page long thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=166045 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

ElementLT Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 yea im also not familiar with this bird - im wonder what era this is from and the major use of this plane is? time to google...

Baco Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Its first flight was on 1969 it became operational in squadrons in 1975. It is still in service in the Argentinian Airforce, Uruguay and Sri Lanka. It saw acction in Argentina in 1975 against comun ist ERP insurgents in Argentina. In Sri Lanka against TAmil Tigers insurgents from 1993 to 1999. And was deployed in Malvinas (Falklands), in two improvides airbases, Pradera de Ganso (Goose green) and Peble Island. It did mostly armed recon, and soem groudn support missions, but gotheavy casualties from harriers and naval AAA. Its basic role is Light attack and COIN. Now a days, its is used to intercept unidentified aircraft as part of a border patrol and anti drugs enforcemt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvii-Dietrich Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I see interesting fights coming to the air near you - L39, C101 and Pucas against each others. Should be the most comparable fights I think? (I dont know anything about the Puca, just saw the wikipedi aarticle - But the trainers could be the best enemy they can get in our world besides WW2 planes) I'd also not heard of the Pukara aircraft until now. Just looked it up and it seems to have similar performance to an old Ju 88 A-4 bomber, but with only half the bomb load and only a quarter of the range. It probably would not fare very well even against the WW2 aircraft in DCS. The design though reminds me a bit of the Focke-Wulf FW 187 from the late 1930s. Apparently a Pukara was shot down by small arms fire during the Falklands War. :megalol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz000 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Razbam has said on their discord that CH-53 3D mesh is ready to be put into DCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahger Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) The Pucara was certainly deployed by Argentina in the Falklands but my assumption would have been — because it’s flown by a crew and otherwise off the beaten track for DCS platforms — that it is being created as a non-flyable AI aircraft for that theatre. Do we know if this is definitely not the case? Edit: Just saw that they have announced the Pucara so, well, never mind!

=DECOY= Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Have Razbam given an indication as to when the Falklands map might be ready? We cant speculate with timings at the moment, the team are making EPIC progress. We should be able to give time frames in the coming months. Buts its still early stages of development Water cooled i9-9900K | Maximus Code XI MB | RTX3090 | 64GB | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
