Frag Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, Many of us bought many aircraft, but you probably noticed that you are commonly coming back to that one aircraft, which is the one you know best. Let's say tomorrow you ED would have to force you to select one aircraft (in the existing ones) and that this aircraft would be the only one you would be allowed to fly for the next few years to come. Which one would it be? I'll start ... the F-5 tiger. That was a hard decision, but you are only allowed ONE. Don't write a second choice ;) Edited February 2, 2019 by Frag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooch Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Simple, F/A-18 Hornet. It can do everything. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kontiuka Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The only one I really fly right now is the C-101. But if I was forced, I'd probably have to go with the F-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandingCow Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Oh man... I mean I guess it would be the F/A-18... but then I think about how much I love flying the Huey... 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 What?!?! This is totalitarianism :cry::mad::D But OK, since you insist... it would have to be the Hip. And not because of anything combat-related, even, but because the chopper just is so good. Cannot get a better virtual AC anywhere, so that it'd have to be. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper2097 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 F18 is like a minivan. Can do everything, but nothing perfect and just lacks of personality. At the moment I would pick the Mirage, but I'm pretty sure this will change to the Tomcat. But I'm also not sure about the Falcon when it arrives...

grunf Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A couple of years ago I would, without hesitation, say MiG-21. For one reason or another, I don't have a strong favorite anymore, but for old times sake I'd say again Mig-21. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DmitriKozlowsky Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 AV-8B/NA. I don't have F/A-18C yet. But I consider AV-8B/NA to be most interesting, challenging, and sophisticated fixed wing module for DCS. It has quirks, but that is the case with every aircraft. Simulated or real. Learning to fly and fight around those quirks is what makes it fun. In DCS community, we have Tarawa LHA, Hermes 1981 ramp Harrier carrier, and Italian Covour which is similar to Spanish carrier Juan Carlos I. Harrier can also operate from Nimitz class and Kuznetzov in DCS, as well as any ship with a flat helicopter flight deck. Learning how to take off, and land on those ships under variety of conditions is amazing. Second favorite is F-5E. IMHO F-5E makes for perfect training DCS level module. A must have. Third fave is A-10C. Once Hornet is out of Beta or at least out of Early Access, I intend to get it. Salivating over prospect of having proper detailed sim of F-16C Block 50. Hoping for DCS level of Russian or Chinese Generation 4 or 4+ fghter-attack platform. Also hoping for ED to strike a deal with A-4E-C developers, to bring proper DCS Level of A-4E , M, AR variants to DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 If it was working/complete/fixed/bug free I'd say the AV-8B/NA Harrier followed by the Hornet. But of a current production module as is? A10C I guess. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

Phantom453 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 F/A-18 for all-round getting the job done. Mi-8 for rotor fun L-39 just to enjoy flying (or Yak 52 or Mustang for something a bit slower) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 If the A-10C were the only module, I’d be perfectly happy.

DmitriKozlowsky Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Fair has nothing to do with it! AV-8B is the most challenging fixed wing mod in DCS. F-5E is easiest to learn , and best for tactics training and fast jet training in DCS. A-4E-C also as F-5E but A-4E-C is standard flight model, and simplified systems. Has no communications, no wingman, no ECM, no EO bombing system of any kind, primitive NAV and AG attack radar, no NVG, and 3/4 of cockpit functions are not implemented. But still fun as hell. Both F-5E and A-4E-C are surprisingly accurate AG platforms for unguided bombs and rocket delivery, despite lacking CCIP pipper, and being limited to Depressed Sight Line. Set MIL depression, for speed, altitude, and slant distance, then release when time is right. Just like learning Kentucky windage shooting from your granpa in Appalachia.

smallberries Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Pretty much everytime I fire up DCS I hop in the Mi-8, or UH-1. Even if I just do some takeoffs and landings, and then spend the rest of the day flying something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
