Next aircraft speculation

I just hope its something unique. not another wing, but something unique, like the delta-wings or that.. something that isn't 'yet another mig/american multipurpose'..

The grippen (going back to sweedes)

or something like the 'tejas'

OR something more historical. The japanese f1 or that?

We have 3 deltas already so that really would not be unique.

Anything but another USAF jet or fighter

+1

I think we've got quite enough of those to be going on with for a while...

Hmm, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I dare say that once both the Tomcat/Viggen are slowly finished they’ll be the last HB module for DCS. With the announcement they made post launch in regards to their new partner and how quiet they’ve been since, without even the slightest amount of confrontation that they’ll still be developing directly for DCS. I would not be surprised if the Tomcat was their final module, I utterly hope I’m completely wrong, but this is just my gut feeling.

Let me quote from that announcement:

Thank you for your support, we’re so excited for our future together and what that means for you as consumers, and we hope you are too!

So you think they are saying that they are excited for their customers, because they won't do any more modules for them? That's not really how I understand that announcement to be honest :huh:

They have also stated that they don't want to start dedicating significant amounts of time to new modules until they are done with the Viggen and Tomcat

I'd prefer if they pull a Belsimtek and just announce an almost done module for pre-order and imminent release, instead of those super long hype periods.

Also to give the Viggen a final good polish and squash those last bugs.

Well, things change ;) I bet there is more money on the military simulation side so I wouldn't be surprised if the F-14 is the last one either although it would be a great loss for the community.

I know the viggen and the Mirage (have the viggen, love it, want the mirage next sale).. whats the third?

The company they partnered with doesn't really do military jobs though.

Mig 21

The Mirage is the only true delta as 'tailless delta' here.

Viggen has a double config, thats completely out of the row.

The MiG-21 has a 'tailed delta' which is pretty close to a conventional layout.

The F-16 has the same layout, but I have not seen it being mentioned as a delta so far.

Another true delta coming is the J 35 Draken albeit only as an AI (but I would love it as a module though).

If they do model the Draken then at least they will be modelling the same engine that is used in the BAE/English Electric Lightning

Es siempre más de lo mismo

Next aircraft... as long as it's something you can land on a carrier I'll be happy!

If the

Lately I just cant shake the feeling / thought, that what Heatblur will bless us with next, will be the MiG-31.

First they made the MiG-21, followed by the Viggen. Two adversaries in their day in Scandinavian/Baltic region.

We just received the Tomcat, a predominately air interceptor with its impressive Phoenix missiles. Now what would be its direct adversary, and reuse some of the coding technology (as stated elsewhere by Heatblur)? Here Im thinking about Jester/Iceman plus pilot/RIO cockpit. A MiG-31 with its R-33's.

Slim, but I think it makes sense, and I really like the taste of it :).

wow thats even more steam gaugey than the cat lol, do they have a missile anywhere near as capable as phoenix?

It's as steam gaugey as any Soviet aircraft really and yes, they do have a rough equivalent of the Phoenix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-33_(missile)

The Mig-31 is still in service and an important part of the Russian defense system so I highly doubt we'll see it in DCS any time soon. The Mig-25 might happen though, who knows.

I would prefer a fast MiG-25 over a slow MiG-31 though. It's also probably easier to get proper documentation for the 25 than the 31.

Tornado remains my #1 though :)

+1 on the Tornado.

Iconic bird.

I would speculate, that their next aircraft will be F-14A Tomcat.

I could settle for a MiG-35, well, decent Su-39 would be a blast too!

Panavia Tornado is at number one. No question about that. Number two would be a MIG-31 and three would be, i guess a North American A-5 Vigilante. Starfighter would be bitchin as well.

But we need a Tornado asap.

Please bring us an F15E module. ������������������

RAZBAM is doing that one

Well, half of it anyway.
