$50 US what would you buy?

Neither, between the Mirage, F-5, F-14, F-15, F-18, AJS-3 and, AV-8B, we have enough western 3rd and 4th gen fighter-bombers. I'd save my money for something different. Too much of the same thing is boring.

Just about any Russian fighters (or attack aircraft). We've pretty well got all the western bases covered. Short of the ultra modern stuff like the 35 or 22 (which won't even be possible for decades if we're super optimistic), everything one could want aside from a heavy bomber or cargo aircraft is pretty much represented a few times over once everything currently in the works is out. We need more Russian planes. Outside the MiG-21bis we really have no full fidelity aircraft for the fighter aspect, and just the Frogfoot for the attack end. Pretty scarce. We need some stuff that's fun to fly from the eastern side. Not more western stuff.

I realize specific planes for the west are missing. For example the F-16. But it's roles are more than covered several times over. Some of that stuff should be pushed back until we have an evenly matched scale. So yeah, outside the F-14, anything high fidelity and DCS level on the Russian (or Chinese... Chengdu J-10) side would get my money thrown at it instantly (even if it was just a proper version of the 27 or 33.)

Yep, more russian planes for sure. MiG-23, Su-17 & Su-24 springs to mind. All would be day one buys for me.

An hour of flight time in a 150.

More like 30 min.

A B17 thats all i want after the f14 and 18

3rd gen fighter bombers? we have none yet. F5 is a economical export mulirole Fighter, for second rate militaries that couldn't afford the F4. F4 was a major fighter of the 3rd generation very prolific aircraft of the legacy 3rd generation, Its a must have, and also was exported quite abit. Used by UK and West German AF, among others. WE need to have vietnam era scnearios as well hypothetical Cold war gone hot of the 60s- 70s.

F105 a century series fighter is technically a 2nd generation aircraft, with the D model being a second generation plane upgraded to early 3rd generation standards.

F105 and F4 are far from the same thing or level as the 4th generation aircraft as the Teen fighters let alone comparing to a VTOL attacker.

For $50 i would buy a DCS SR-71 BlackBird.......for Spying all those other big birds in wars on online servers.......

In all seriousness I swear I read someone was working on an OV-10 Bronco on these very forums. I would like to buy that. I love the visibility that aircraft offers.

I found this MOD

I would also like the Harrier but I have heard that is canceled.

More like 30 min.

I actually get them for about $50 an hour dry and pay for the fuel at the pump.

Viggen, i'd buy a Viggen.

I'd totally buy a Viggen.

So would I! :joystick:

Yeah, been waiting on that Viggen ever since it has been a possibility :)

What does 6 gallons of 100 LL go for these days?

At my airport? That would be around $18 this time of year. This time last year? Closer to friggin' $25.

I'd buy something that was actually useful, not an L39, Hawk, F5, ect...Still my major concern, the aircraft we get, while appreciated, are all over the place (era) and even worse, trainers that are only used in single player.

DCS Multi-crew AC-130 Specter Gunship

While I would be stunned if it ever happened, I would recover quickly enough to buy it the first moment it was available. :thumbup:

Well, if there was a mig-19 and mig-23, f-100, f4, and a few other planes from that era, it would be possible to do a proper pre-iff era dogfight server... us airplanes vs Russian,but since there's really only a handful of planes that have iff that are even remotely practical to make, dogfight servers end up being extremely lop-sided when they go east vs west, and nobody wants to fly without iff when both teams fly the same planes, mostly because bfm and wvr are a foreign concepts to aim120 lobbers, so everyone has to use tactics that nullify the aim120... making it impossible for good bfm combat unless luck comes into play...

^I'll BFM you for that 120B DLZ! :D

Heck I'll pay 50$ to have a real AIM-120 DLZ!

"It could be worse" doesn't make what it currently is less bad...

and i mean that in the sense that BVR missiles make air combat less about air combat and more about learning to evade missiles.

if what you're trying to say is the aim-120 is even more overpowered in real life....

so yeah I'd pay 50$ for a russian missile equivalent to the aim-120 that could go on the su-27 or mig-29.

at least give the russian planes a missile that they can launch at 20km+ ranges and then just run and hide too...

if you can't beat'em, join'em kinda thing...

F-111

Saab 29 Tunnan

I would pay $50 to buy a better MIG21-bis. Not current one.

:music_whistling: Sour grapes over patch troubles. Protip: They're working on it.

I'd buy a second Viggen.
