VİETNAM - F4 - F104 - F8

Yup. Agreed.

That has been driving me nuts since I came to DCS. There is no real strategy as to what should be done. Everybody develops the stuff they want, whether it matches what is already there or not. :cry:

I concur. I caught some flak for suggesting that the aircraft releases in DCS be organized in blocks. The blocks being major conflicts or portions of conflicts (WW2 West, WW2 East etc.) For example Early Vietnam would be a block then all the devs would focus on fleshing out that block with assets and aircraft, then they all move on to the next block and develop that one. That way there's uniformity and the aircraft we use are actually relevant in a tactical sense and authentic to their time. But no, I was told word for word "the game's a sandbox a**hole".

It's amazing that the F-4 has not been created to date,it was such an iconic aircraft and a real adversary to all the post war Eastern Block aircraft that have already been created for DCS.

Business wise,who ever creates this will make money,no question,it's a very business savy choice to create IMHO.

Personally I hope a F-4D or F-4E model is created,but at present this is just academic.

One of the best things for DCS for me, is that there is no such organization or such for module development.

The only gripe I have is that, I want way more RED air developed, but I suppose that too is slowly happening.

Yup, sandbox :)

There are already eras fleshing out, 70s-80s are becoming a thing, 90s too. Late WW II as well.

DCS is foremost a simulation of aircraft, and then combat, as much as people don't like to accept that :P

The only "guideline" I would like seeing is that more late 70s to mid 90s aircraft being developed, including the F-4E with ARN-101 that unfortunately got postponed. I believe this to be the era DCS does best, and there are many aircraft from these periods which, with additional modules, can be used to create many what-if and historical scenarios.

Supposedly BST/ED will do an 80's era phantom.
