FubarBundy Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) The Korean era aircraft seem very popular now that we have both the Sabre and the Mig-15. We also have the P51 but unfortunately no counter-part for the USSR / North Korea. Similarly, we have no other aircraft to fulfil other roles for either side and so mission building is presently quite restricted. I was just wondering if it would make sense for WW2 aircraft ,(such as the B-29 for example), which also flew over Korea to have some sort of priority in development? I only ask because it would be a case of killing 2 birds with 1 stone... WW2 = ppl happy, Korean war = ppl happy and developers = happy because appeal to twice the potential customers QED :music_whistling:.

panzerd18 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Definitely Yak-9 on the red side. F4U Corsair on the blue side. Both saw good action in WW2 and Korea. Edited March 7, 2015 by panzerd18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala13_ManOWar Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wasn't out there a La-9 fighter 3D awaiting DCS? Definitely not WWII but a good addition to DCS and Korea war. Anyway, even an IA B-29 would be a quite nice add as a target/thing to escort. S! "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

OutOnTheOP Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Douglas (by then) B-26 Invader Polikpov Po-2 Tupolev Tu-2 A-26/ B-26 Invader for sure. Served in WW2, Korea, AND Vietnam. It's fast as many fighters, as agile as some, can be used as a medium bomber, CAS with excellent strafing and rocket capability, was used as a night fighter... it has very broad appeal. For those with an MSFS fixation, it can even be used as an executive transport or water bomber ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same modeller was make the Mig-15Bis cockpit make others cockpits (La-9, Yak-9 and others have properly of ED), not sure if can get that planes some day into DCS: W, but was interesting make some type of suppositions about them.

MiloMorai Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Fixed that for you... All the other planes on your list were not in service during World War 2. I was thinking more of the future. Afaik the F7F was being deployed and the T-33 was based on the P-80 which flew in the ETO and MTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msalama Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 A-26/ B-26 Invader for sure. Oh yeah! An ASM/PFM B-26 would be an instant buy for me. One of the coolest prop aircraft ever made, plus as you stated VERY versatile - and fast! The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Yep, the B-26 is one of my favourites as well; still, the thought of puttering around in a Po-2, waking up the Yankees with small bombs has a certain appeal.

As far as I know, yes, The F7F was used as a night fighter in Korea. Too late for WW2, and retired well before Vietnam. Unsure about service by other than US. Sexy, sexy plane, though.

AG-51_Razor Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If Korea is going to be pursued in earnest, then an Essex class carrier is definitely a must to launch the F4U-4B's, AD's and F9F Panthers from!!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used in the early stages of the conflict, but retired pretty soon IIRC. Still, a sleek, sexy and FAST fighter that'd be a perfect addition to DCS! The DCS Mi-8MTV2.

Woogey Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 As far as Ai bombers go in Korea, What did the Red side have? Did N. Korea/China/USSR ever employ the TU-4 against the blue side? For those that do not know, the TU-4 is the Soviet Clone of the B-29's that we sold them through the lend/lease act of WW2. They also recieved B-25's, and C-47's among other hardware.

That is not true.. The US did not sell them the two B29s, the B29s were forced to land in Russian territory and the Russian took the US pilot 'captive'.. After some time, the Russian released the pilots, but kept the B29 Edited March 19, 2015 by TAGERT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US did not sell them the two B29s, the B29s were forced to land in Russian territory and the Russian took the US pilot 'captive'.. After some time, the Russian released the pilots, but kept the B29 There were in fact three B-29s that landed in Vladivostok in Soviet Russia; the first on 29 July 1944 was a B-29-5-BW 42-6256, RAMP TRAMP. The second on 11 November was (ironically) named General H.H. Arnold Special 42-6365 and the third was Ding Hao 42-6358 on 21 November 1944. All pilots and crews were interned, then allowed to 'escape" to American held territory in Iran.

But that "Russian copy" sentence is so typical we always forget they paid their licences to build things like everyone. S!

You can start with the sidewinder. Or the suspension on the T-34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that "Russian copy" sentence is so typical we always forget they paid their licences to build things like everyone. S! Nor was the Tu-4 a straight copy of the B-29; the Soviets used metric, rather than imperial, measurements and applied their own forms of metallurgy to the Tu-4's structure. Thus, the gauges and stress requirements of the structural materials were different to the B-29s, plus the engines and armament ( 10 x 23mm cannon) were completely different.
