QuiGon Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It will come before the F-4 though... :music_whistling: 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!

Kev2go Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) I'd swap my F/A-18 for an F-16 in a nanosecond. YOu know before the hornet released i too i thought i would prefer the F16 by a wide margin , but its not such a easy clear cut decision Whilst i would prefer the Flight characteristic of the F16 over hornet, and its also nice that the Viper can Lug bombs in bundles of 3 per hardpoint with TER mounts, but In terms of Cockpit and avionics set up The the F18 is more user friendly and more digitally integrated than the Viper. F/A18's UFC is more intuitive than the F16's ICP & DED EW is more digitally integrated ( AN/ALR 67 v3 RWR is also later development than the AN/ALR 56) along with Instruments for Engine and Fuel management also being digital vs analog , and having a 3rd multipurpose display over just two is also nice, which means sensor deprivation is never a thing. The only feature the F16 has over the Late C model Hornet that i wish i had in DCS ( Ie F16CM) post ccip upgrades which give fully colour capable displays, whilst in the Hornets AMPCD is the only display with colour capability, and the 2 DDI's are still archiac monochrome Green CRT monitors.

The F/A-18 is growing on me but i've had too many decades in F4/BMS to let the F-16 go. I prefer the Viper in a dogfight and it just looks so much better. ;) Having both is the best plan and hopefully, it will happen. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Oh god not another F-16 thread.... Ahah! Then what about another 'How about the AH-64' thread? Better? :megalol: https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev2go Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Ahah! Then what about another 'How about the AH-64' thread? Better? :megalol: but the difference is the F16C block 50 is officially confirmed. We all know its going to be going into development after the Hornet is out of EA, while the Ah64 is not yet on the "to do list". IRRC for the time being we have to settle for the antiquated Ah1S Cobra. Which means there are no more needs for " Gib me an F16" threads.

With the F16 its 100% sure thing ( and you know the variation), and basically in the intimidate to do list right after the Hornet.
