Silver_Dragon Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 However, As a member of the Black Sheep, when are we gonna get our F-4U's with Carriers?!!! ;-) Vidar Hi Vidar, you can see Black Sheeps in the future (2018-2019) http://leatherneck-sim.com/magnitude3-new-years-update/ Meanwhile great quantity of sonar performance and another info has classified. The sonar theory and sound propagation can used to build a "basic" sound system aka "Dangerous Waters", surely someone as that old Sonarlist simulator or the old Mbot ASW Training course, can build someone interesting (The old S-3 pilot manual has available on internet, but missing the sonobouys processor and weapons delivery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester986 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Honestly as subs pretty much aren't modeled at all in DCS I'd be more interested in it for it other roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bin801 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I also hope include ASW into DCS Vikings and later capability similar to Janes' 688 or Janes' dangerous water that will be real Digital Combat Simulation I'm a serious virtual pilot from FS4 to FSX and from Flank1.0 to DCS I also play other simulators, so Please combine them in future that will be my dream. Hope it come true in someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWard Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I would welcome an S-3 eventually and buy it, but I would prefer to see Heatblur work on other modules first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltorrente Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I served in the Navy on the submarine USS DRUM (SSN 677), from 89-93. I was a helmsman and was battlestations helmsman, so I was in the control room during lots of missions and training exercises against other ships, subs, and ASW aircraft. Several times we served as a target for ASW training missions. Every single time, we were asked to be in a certain area at a certain time, and to go a certain course and depth, and even then - they never actually found us. We had no fear of ASW operations, unless they knew right where we were - like if we were spotted visually first. I can't imagine flying an S3 or P3 and trying to find a submarine that didn't want to be found. That would be a long boring flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4y30n Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Module aside, we could really do with an updated AI/static Viking since the current asset is a real eyesore next to the Cat or Hornet and they were the primary recovery tankers after the KA-6 was retired.

JayBird Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'd rather have the A/KA-6 before a new S-3 F-14 | F/A-18C | F-16C | AJS-37 | M-2000C | A-10C | UH-1H | F-5E | P-51 | Bf 109 Nevada | Persian Gulf | Normandy | Supercarrier YouTube | Steam | Discord: JayBird#4400 i7-7700K | GTX 980 | 32gb RAM | 500gb SSD | 2TB HDD| Track IR | TM Warthog HOTAS | Logitech Pro Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oates76 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I agree, as DCS becomes more Navy centric, it would be great to have the supporting AI aircraft all be close to the same level. The Hawkeye looks great, it would be nice to have the Viking on the same level, especially since we get up close to the S-3 in flight refueling... and the Seahawk desperately needs an AI overhaul as well. Module aside, we could really do with an updated AI/static Viking since the current asset is a real eyesore next to the Cat or Hornet and they were the primary recovery tankers after the KA-6 was retired.

6Gun Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I like the 14 and I like how they are making a carrier to go with it. I hope they make more planes or even helicopters to use off of that carrier. It could become kind of like an HB navy series. They have a 14. They can make an A-6 next. Then an S-3, maybe an HH-60 type helo and so on. It would be pretty neat.

DBFlyguy Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 A lot of AI models really need an upgrade. This is something that could be hired out to a third party(ies), especially with so many 3D modelers trapped at home for the foreseeable future with the current situation and could use the extra income. There is no absolutely no reason ED couldn't contract this out if they wanted it be done. "Straighten up and fly right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST0RM Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 At this point, you'll be better off buying a commercial 3D model of the S-3 and adding it as a mod.

ED has plans to update S-60 and S-3, and ED has added some more as only Cows on the last times... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116893 In 2020 we will continue to update older DCS World units. We are currently developing the SA-5 surface-to-air missile and the SS-1 SCUD surface-to-surface missile (we still need to develop the Short-Range Ballistic Missile flight model), the S-3B Viking, and cows of course! There are other units we hope to revisit to like the B-52H, C-17A, Tu-95, and others. Comercial model require rebuild 3D model, animations, lights, damage models, LODs, textures, bulid LUAs and more. That is not only "buy" a funny 3D model and put them into DCS. Edited April 16, 2020 by Silver_Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinkey Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 A lot of AI models really need an upgrade. Agreed, but the S-3 is a special case since you spend so much time 30ft away staring at it while you tank. It's good to hear that it's on the ED roadmap for an upgrade.

Grater Tovakia Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 honestly, most of the community is probably averse to dedicated ASW operations but I would really enjoy that. Of course, a sea sprite or seahawk would be REALLY fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimearrepentido Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Ill be that guy. F the S3. I want A6Es even if only AI (my god.. what Id do for a a6 module) Im sick to death of those stupid bugs taking their place on my F14 DCE campaign ;) And yes I know HB said theyre working on it.

The guys from the F/A-18E/F/G seem to have done ok. I'm not sure where their model came from, but it seems to have been compatible. Source a 3D model from the same author and go from there. Again, ED isnt saying its on their radar, so the community may need to step in as an interim. Look at the Military Aircraft Mod. Commercial off the shelf models and they seem to interact ok.
