LINKIN Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'd like to see HB's work on Tornado again. ED F 4E moved forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The pre-purchase and module pages for the Tomcat don't mention a terrain, so don't expect one. It looks like it was mentioned as a hope in the first announcement back in 2015 when they were still Leatherneck, but I saw somewhere Cobra has already confirmed they're not committed to it and it's not coming as the terrain team went with Leatherneck/M3. See this thread and Cobras responses on the first 2 pages: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=216985 Apparently they still have such plans. 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!

Zius Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 How about a Heatblur MiG-29A? That would be amazing. In the recent podcast, Wags said (paraphrasing) that a 3rd party would not be bound by the limits placed on ED by the Russian government / manufacturers. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234647 Modules: Bf 109, C-101, CE-II, F-5, Gazelle, Huey, Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, Albatros, Viggen, Mirage 2000, Hornet, Yak-52, FC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love where DCS is going and HeatBlur has upped the level of the simulation immensely. However DCS is lacking full fidelity counterparts to all these Western modules in the pipe. I would jump at getting a full fidelity Mig-29A, Su-27 etc. Let us hope. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernCross Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well as much i'd like to see that as well, I don't think it's realistic. Either heatblur is neck deep in the A-6 or the 14 is the last we see of them in DCS due to the Meta acquisition. Hopefully that isn't the case:cry: Heatblur can do a F-4S or F-4B:thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl0w Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The speculation begins! I don't know about you guys, but that A-6E model looks a bit too far advanced to be considered "AI." ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firmek Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 A-6 modeling is already at least 80% done in DCS. That's the pipeline. Modeling, then systems, then platform integration. I really can't imagine how more obvious it has to be. Yeap :beer:. It's obvious DCS needs another attack/interdiction aircraft: F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananabrai Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It really is time for the Tornado. I also thing the A-6 is the next one, it is indeed more or less obvious, but I hope they will not do a whole carrier full of modules, before they do something not US Navy again. Many Navy enthusiast will like this idea, but for people having a wider/other interest, it will be a hard time and by loosing "diversity", they will loose customers. We need a good mix. I love Heatblur for their tomcat, but if they do the Grumman and Forrestal Carrier palette, I'll be quite unhappy.

Zius Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 A Tornado certainly would be cool, but it would also be yet another Blue aircraft. What we need is Red aircraft, therefore MiG-29A.

F900EX Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 As much as I like USA aircraft, its time for something different and if it has to be anything the Tornado is a perfect fit. Yes, I like the A-6 but its another USA aircraft that the F-18 does quite well at and not only that at some point in time we will have the F-16 and F-15E. Even if you do get the A-6 it will probably be the A or B variant, the Electronic warfare versions would probably never happen. For all of the above reasons the Tornado is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evoman Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Considering HB have shown to be true trail blazers in expanding the function and features within DCS (some quicker and better implemented than ED itself), I truly hope their next aircraft to be something that pushes the Platform further in as much being a fan favorite for us to fly, like the F14 is to DCS now. I think the A6 is almost a given: similar analog avionics plus multicrew which HB pulled off marvelously in the 14. TBH, I think it's an easy and safe bet to develop. Considering that, my ask for HB's next aircraft is something more risky: The C-130! Any variant will suffice, but I think the c130 will be the PERFECT challenge for HB to expand their capabilities and add utility to the Platform as they've done in the 14. There's some overlap, being a multicrew ac and I can see Jesters implementation working well in the Herc. And depending on version, analog avionics as well. There'd also be a few 1sts for HB: turbo prop, plus maybe their vision or implementation of true Logistical support in DCS. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility: Meta Aerospace Group, HB's new partners own a turboprop leasing company. While a big stretch, maybe HB could have access to the technical info for making a great turboprop model work in DCS. Certainly, leveraging the assets and resources of a company is a key thinking point when considering partnership. I'm sure this was all considered in relation to DCS when Heatblur moved forward, especially considering Nicks recent comments on the matter. Long story short, I think the c130 should be done by HB. Maybe not next, but if anyone were to blaze the trail and expand DCS's aircraft offerings past combat/trainer, I'd want it to be HB. And I know they'd give the Herc the justice it deserves. Cheers! A while ago Razbam had asked their Facebook followers what non armed military airplane they would like to see come to DCS and the most suggested airplane was the C-130. So Razbam might already be looking into the development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be starting a new aircraft that people have also shown interest in and it will be announced soon. Sorry to disappoint you all that have been looking forward to the tornado but there are factors that complicate it for newer teams like ours to develop.
