Sn8ke_iis Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 What plane is this shown for a brief frame at the end of the VFAT Demo??? doesn't look like the F4U That's a Zero!!! Can't see the cannons in the wings, only the landing gear. But the engine cowling has the two machine guns and it has the birdcage canopy frame.

Akatsuki Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) The cowling seem to indicate A6M2 but i'm not 100% sure. I hope i'm wrong and it's a A6M5 as it's a better opponent for the Corsair. Great looking model by the way! :thumbup: Edited December 10, 2019 by Akatsuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking model by the way! :thumbup: On the contrary. Bulged cowling all around indicates late version, so do the wingtips and ailerons. Glimpses of upper exhaust stacks are dead giveaway. It's an A6M5 allright. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiromachi Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 It's A6M5 model 52. Wing cannons are missing since they aren't modelled yet. A6M5 carried two Type 99 Mod 4 20mm cannons with 100 rounds per gun (or 125 in case of belt fed version in A6M5 model 52a variant). 1 AMD Ryzen 5900X @ 4.95 Ghz / Asus Crosshair VII X470 / 32 GB DDR4 3600 Mhz Cl16 / Radeon 6800XT / Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD / Creative SoundBlaster AE-9 / HP Reverb G2 / VIRPIL T-50CM / Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals / Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunctator Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 :punk: Didn't notice that during the presentation. Rudel posted a WIP image what looked like a Zero engine years ago. Glad to see that an Zero is still on the table. Hopefully it will be flyable one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl0w Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Is this the related model? https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lZYDY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Breeze Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Found it !!!!! day one video the corsair is at 10:46 with 12:16 left to video. Made ya look...... keep going, its worth seeing the video So now Im confused if Leatherneck started this and Magnitude 3 took it over ?CT they are the same company Leatherneck changed to Magnitude after the split from Heatblur a few years back.

reschke Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Well as a long time corsair fan and someone that ran VF-17 "The Jolly Rogers" in Ace's High 2 for years and loved flying the F4U in all its variants I can honestly say I will be waiting with baited breath to fly this in DCS. 1 Warthog #1397...compliments of SimHQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 rather try to release them as complete as possible Very good and reassuring :thumbup: And it's great we'll get a ground strike capable late model as well. A great addition to those Korea-type missions! Waiting eagerly... ;) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Devil 505 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 With the Corsair and carrier coming out, they should continue on with the Korean era aircraft. I would love to see the Bridges at Toko Ri brought to DCS. It would be outstanding to see the Grumman F9F Panther, Douglas AD-1 Skyraider, and Sikorsky H5 enter our expanding Navy fleet. I highly recommend watching the above movie if not scene yet. Great footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Breeze Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 A Korean War theater would have needed the F4U-4s and -5s versions of the Corsair. Not to mention all the associated Russian, Chinese, North Korean, and American Ai assets. I think they are going to have enough work in their hands putting the Pacific Theater into play for the -1 Corsair and A6M5 Zero in the works. Now if we are really talking wishlists here why not an F4U-4E or -4N night fighter with the 4 20MMs? Now that would be an interesting first for DCS having our first propeller driven night fighter!
