Silver_Dragon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ok, post open. Expected Japanese AI fighter on Iwo jima airstrips covered by heavy AAA vs AI carriers to F-4U1?

VincentLaw Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Now that we have a thread specifically for this map: ED needs to consider implementation of amphibious landing related features (Such a core aspect of DCS can't be done by a third party alone). Currently amphibious vehicles do not work properly in Combined Arms, and it is not possible to place amphibious vehicles or their waypoints on water in the mission editor. For small island maps like Iwo Jima or water centric maps like Strait of Hormuz, amphibious landings are a very important scenario. Iwo Jima would not be complete without it.

Darkwolf Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well... we don't need amphibious things. We have Mi-8 with CLTD transport script. . . :D :D :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site.

VincentLaw Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well... we don't need amphibious things. We have Mi-8 with CLTD transport script. . . :D :D :DOkay, I must admit, I plan on flying my Huey around here too. A mostly open ocean map like this could be fun for F/A-18+F-14 vs. Su-33 as well. Scenarios don't strictly have to involve an island invasion, but it is important for the historical scenario. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phant Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Iwo Jima is very little island in the middle of nowhere (Pacific sea). Wondering which other lands will be featured (maybe Okinawa?). Hawaii (Pearl Harbor) seem too far away. Bye Phant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paganus Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This was the leak. https://steamdb.info/search/?a=sub&q=dcs Since then Cobra has in fact confirmed Iwo, F4U and Viggen as well as another Pacific map. I'll let you search that stuff yourself, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum Legacy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 So where did Iwo Jima come from? And don't say a volcano! Did I miss something here? When or where did Leatherneck announce this? You guys seem surprised! That's great to see really, because quite a lot of users said that they felt the surprise/reveal was spoiled for them by the steam database leak coming out of nowhere. So all is well in the end! :thumbup: I only wonder whether the map will come along with Corsair as some kind of pre-order incentive, standard feature or will be available as standalone. Can't wait to read all the details about these modules and also to what detail (and expected performance) will the map be modelled compared to what we already have in DCS. At the very least there is not that much speculation left, it was already killing me... Sent from my pComputer using Keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I haven't been following Leatherneck nearly as much as other people so that would explain why I'm pretty ignant on what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdoc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Cobra also stated on reddit : "Okinawa is on the roadmap". I wonder if this is somehow going to be the "sequel" to Iwojima or is it going to come with the Tomcat? In the former case, it means that they are already planning to expand on PTO and related warbirds. BTW, "Leatherneck : PTO WW2 Carrier ops", sounds really nice Edited December 7, 2015 by airdoc The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flogger23m Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 If they're doing WWII things I hope it is a theater and not just another single plane. We already have a bunch of WWII planes that can only dog fight each other. We need some AI units to go with the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra also mentioned "We're working on a lot of AI and theatre content" I suppose that this may be the reason for the delay in announcement. Although Iwo Jima is a small map, they would have to create a lot of ships (the armada there was enormous), landing crafts, troops, AAA guns, airport facilities, etc. The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement.

Bullfrog_ Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I wonder how big is it going to be. I hope it isn't just Iwo and has north and south Iwo as well as Ogasawara as well. Would be kind of boring if it's just one island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
