Slick_441 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think a Blackhawk/Seahawk series would be really cool, but that would be a ton of work. Is there a model of each that share a common cockpit architecture? Also... Isn't every military aircraft (other than trainers) a combat aircraft regardless of whether it's armed or not?

Bearfoot Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) For fixed-wing, I am think that instead of the C-130 the Caribou might be a better fit ... except, I thought that ED has categorically rejected ever supporting multiple-engine a/c in DCS World? So, maybe the questions should be what single-engined non-combat a/c do you want to see? EDIT: I realize that we already have multiple multi-engine a/c in DCS World -- e.g, from the A-10C to the F-15. So maybe what I read was that 4-engine would not be supported? Or was that for WW2 only? Edited January 23, 2018 by Bearfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airj247 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If we get a C-130, I'm happy as long as we get RCAF skins, I don't live to far from CFB Trenton and those things fly over all the time. I was inverted B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anything more fun than making short field approaches to a country road in this plane with a much needed load of supplies, or troops during a DCS mission!! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schurem Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Antonov An-2 Don't laugh. It can transport anything, from commandoes to cows. It needs very little in preparation, a short bit of land without trees and rocks will do. It has a low RCS and is able to go slower than most radar sets' doppler gates. It's the thing the american in charge of the korean air forces is most worried about. It's just perfect.

Jester986 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 No laughing here... I think An-2 or An-26 would both be good choices for red aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale1986 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Military but non-combat types. Due to a lack of a suitable definition for "non-combat", I guess that means aircraft operated by military forces that lack the ability to, either offensively or defensively, react to threats beyond visually spotting and maneuvering. A C-2A, C-20, C-21A, C-23A, KC-135 or KC-10 might fit. Now if they mean military types without a significant offensive punch that have the ability to recognize threats through various systems and defend themselves through countermeasures then that changes the request considerably. A C-130 Hercules would be a top choice from talking to guys online and, even though it is kind of large for DCS maps, it would be very useful in many of the more popular mission oriented MP servers. The A-400M, KC-390 and An-12 would be in the same category and might be well received. I think smaller twin engine types would be more suitable for the current state of DCS. Planes like the An-26, An-32, An-72, CN-295, C-23C, C-27J and C-160 would fit well. For these planes there would have to be improvements with regards to proper cargo weight and balance and logistics within the DCS engine... of course, if it were to be implemented, part of the fun could be watching people taking off without verifying their weight and balance after loading the plane. :joystick: Similarly, AWACS/Reconnaissance types would be useful if they are implemented. Strategic high performance platforms are pretty much a no go due to map size but tactical types like the SF-37, RF-101C, RF-4C, EKA-3B, RA-5C and RF-8G would be perfect. Another that would be interesting would be the U-2 because of the very limited operating speed one has to fly at altitude what with never exceed speed and stall speed being so close together. On the Soviet side the MiG-25R and MiG-21R would be good choices. Any AWACS would work as a DCS module. Helicopters- all helicopters are good for DCS world... including the MV-22 Osprey So, my top five list of wants for fixed wing non-offensive types in DCS looks like this- MC-130H C-130H An-26 C-23C KC-10A Rotary top five- CH-53E HH-60H MV-22B UH-60L SH-3G MC-130H and HH-60H! I would love some pure reconnaissance A/C as well U-2 and SR-71 could be fun - maybe the latter not so much since we would run out of map very quickly:megalol: Edited January 23, 2018 by Pasquale1986 typos Main Module: AH-64D Personal Wishlist: HH-60G, F-117A, B-52H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airj247 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 A C-2 greyhound would be sweet, it's a carrier based aircraft and it can perform airdrops as well. So if a C130 is too big, the greyhound could provide a great logistics role in the sim. Also if DCS doesnt support more than two engines, it makes more sense for a C-2 greyhound.

Jacks Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Piper L4 Grasshopper would get my vote, perfect match for Normandy.

It's the thing the american in charge of the korean air forces is most worried about. It's just perfect. a very good idea indeed. another huge bonus of such an aircraft is, that it fits into redfor obviously, but could also serve in a blufor coalition. while f.e. georgian (or other blufor) mig-21s flying alongside f-18s might be a bit of a stretch, i think that some Antonovs doing logistics support for a western coalition is a more reasonable scenario.

It's the thing the american in charge of the korean air forces is most worried about. It's just perfect. An-2 would be interesting, but more so even the future planned updated model then later: including wing panels, spars and ribs – were produced by the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant. Sukhoi says the design change improved the speed of the An-2 by 50%, and testing also has shown the minimum flying speed of the aircraft is “close to zero” If they have managed to slow down An-2 even more, then it really does fly backwards even without higher wind like now... Yes, if going for serious transportation, An-2 would be amazing....! i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

What an interesting plane that would be to get in DCS :thumbup: For those that understand German, a C-160 Transall documentary It's basically a franco-german C-130. It's well known for conducting the so called Sarajevo Approach, officially known as Combat Approach. This technique was used a lot during the 1000-day siege of Sarajevo, where Transalls where used to supply the besieged city and had to use this technique to reduce their exposure to ground fire as much as possible. It's a very steep landing approach for which the Transall is especially well suited for. It would be great fun to do this in DCS. :pilotfly: Edited January 23, 2018 by QuiGon Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
