BSS_Sniper Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 F-8 Crusader instead please :) Why? The corsair did a lot more than the crusader ever did. The F8 is just another single seat fighter that wasn't around that long.

Gecko6 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 WTH? How did the F-8 come up in this discussion? Another Troll trying to get Razbam to build another plane other then they have already committed to? Support their efforts now with the Mirage. Why do you insist in wasting my time reading crap posts trying to get the good info? Start a new thread in DCS wish list and save us all the time.

sirscorpion Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Any news on the A-7 is it still after the M2000? or was it pushed for the AV8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG-51_Razor Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Yes, it is in the queue but it requires the A/G radar too. This is their answer to a very similar question of mine a few days ago. Apparently the air to ground radar is holding up both the A-7 and F/A-18C. I guess that's why they are looking at possibly doing a Harrier model that doesn't have A/G radar and maybe even the Tucano.

mattebubben Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I wonder what kind of Armaments they will include for the A-7. Since it has a large number of weapons it could use and some of those are not in the game already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirak Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Given the lead in time for producing aircraft for DCS, isn't it way premature to be talking about a project that won't even start until the F-18C gets included in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure that just like the F-15E it has already been started. Its just that they are at a point were they cant continue untill the Air-Ground radar systems have been made. So like with the F-15E a large part of the work is already completed but they cant complete and release them untill ED finishes / implements air-ground radar into DCS (wich will come with the F-18 release later this year or at worst early next) They have been working with the A-7 for atleast a few years and its probably primarily the Air-Ground radar they have been waitin on. So they are by no means starting from scratch now or when the F-18 comes out... Edited March 9, 2016 by mattebubben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattebubben Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I cant wait for the A-7 to come out =>. Its on my top 3 list of the aircraft i most longingly wait for (Together with the AJS 37 and F-5E) And if i had to pick between buying the A-7 or a F-18 or F-15E i would pick the A-7. And also Prowler have you guys stated what Variant you are making yet? Im guessing a A-7E? Due to more widespread service then then the A-7D (both from larger numbers made and also exports) and also more capabilities and the carrier capability which will please many.

A-7E and D as a single package..later on (once completed and out of beta) might include H and early D (SEA A-7D version) Prowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i can speak for most of us when i say we appreciate your work and how you do it. And they way you guys talk with the community is amazing.

Aginor Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 What's not to love about that plane?! - huge bomb load - great range - carrier landing - aerial refueling - ground radar - lots of guided and unguided ordnance to use - single seat - used operationally for centuries, fits into many scenarios I'd love to have the E version of course. I understand why Razbam decided to do the Harrier first (an own ground radar implementation is a big risk for them), but I am actually looking forward to this plane more.

Dudikoff Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Did I forget anything :) I find it interesting that it was used to guide SLAM's to the target, but couldn't carry them apparently? i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I find it interesting that it was used to guide SLAM's to the target, but couldn't carry them apparently? Frankly that is a bit of a mystery to me. Some people claim that it has shot the first SLAM in Desert Storm, others say it were A-6E. I haven't yet found any pictures of A-7E with AGM-84E. The A-6E makes more sence though since it also carried the Harpoon, which the A-7E never did. That A-7E guided the missiles seems to be generally agreed on though.

WinterH Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Shrike, HARM, Walleye, Maverick, all sorts of iron bombs, Rockeyes, A-7 has all the goodies! :D Even Paveways with buddy lasing apparently. And E + D, most desirable versions will both be included, awesome. Possibilty of including even more versions later on is also awesome. Among the modules on RAZBAM's roadmap, A-7 is the one I want most. I am, of course, very interested in F-15E too, also the Tucano, but A-7 is the one I'd prefer to have earliest personally :). Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
