Jackjack171 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I personally can`t see any difference between four carrier that we have now... All NIMITZ class carriers are going to look the same. Except for the Hull numbers and a few different awards, there's not a lot of going against the grain. The "AB" wings (like the ones under my name) on the Island are designed and painted by the AIR Department guys and you may see some more wings on some Bow's, like the TRUMAN. The ships look great. Could use some more rust but hey! DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagulha Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I wish to see different liveries for the deck of the carriers. Would add even more veriety. - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball". About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces. The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'

Yes, you are correct. The Reagan and the Bush are different. It's the last of the Nimitz class moving into the Ford class with an entirely new deck config. I'm a 68-75 sailor. The Nimitz class that we have in DCS will more than likely be the vanilla Nimitz class. It would be nice to have the latter in class but I won't hold my breath. Still waiting on the Forrestal class!

The Nimitz class is just that, but I get why they got to calling it a sub-class. The Reagan and Bush are classified as Nimitz class (another sub-class) but are different in many ways (ex. 3 arresting gear wires instead of 4, island super structure). The GW, Truman and Nimitz ( all of which I served on) are similar on the outside, mostly! If you don't know what to look for, it really doesn't matter!

Trol Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I grew up on and around US Naval bases. Every time I saw a carrier I could pick it out by the superstructure with few exceptions. I remember when the Enterprise had the major makeover and that was a big deal. But even the Ranger Vs Connie had their differences. Connie had the extra tower behind the island. The carriers deserve to be unique with the kind of attention to detail from DCS. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar98 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Just did some more digging on it. Our supercarriers seem to be a mid-to-late 2000s fit at the very earliest. Though if they actually are mid-to-late 2010s then according to the C:MANO database, then yes they should have ESSM - can't vouch for reliability though as it only seems to cite wiki. The RIM-162D ESSM is actually more compact than a regular Sea Sparrow (which should be the RIM-7P for our ships, which should loft, instead of the RIM-7M), they're both roughly as long as each other, but the RIM-7 has much wider control surfaces and wings. According to this, this is a picture of an ESSM being loaded into a Mk 29 on board USS Theodore Roosevelt, I don't know what date it is and I'm not sure how they definitely know this is an ESSM and not a RIM-7P (can't see anything on the box), but I'm not even sure the launchers themselves need modification, of course I could be mistaken, there doesn't seem to be much I can find. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

And so far we've seen a new RIM-66M (presumably RIM-66M-2 Block IIIA - ED for the love of god, stop being lazy with the designations) SM-2MR Block III/IIIA and a RIM-156A SM-2ER Block IV, which is basically the former with a booster (that should have thrust vectoring but doesn't appear to be animated so in the modelviewer - control surfaces however are). Both of them should also have a secondary ASuW mode by using the AN/SPG-62 illuminators (which aren't implemented) - working the same way as the AIM-7s in the Tomcat (which can be fired and guided against ships). I did a bit more of a detailed post on the Arleigh-Burke here (in the spoiler). All in all if the Arleigh-Burke gets left the way it is I will be pretty disappointed considering it's a paid product.

You missing the point here, when ED implememt all SC API, all 3rd parties can implement carrier crew, ATC, Ready Room, and othen SC funtionality on your assets, has HB, M3,etc without need pay nothing. ED has building SC API as a construction block to us them to implement Ground Crew on ships and bases and help to implement better infantry. ATC on Modern and WW2 carriers and bases, Briefing roms on Ground bases, include the other funtionality (example, control towers on bases similar to CAG station). That has not exclusive of SC payware module. Quote Air Traffic Control (ATC) Over the past year, our primary ATC focus has been on the Supercarrier. Now that the Supercarrier ATC system is nearing completion, we will next move on to airfield ATC radio communications. Given the scope of DCS World, this is not a simple task, and it will require three separate ATC systems: Western Modern Day, Eastern Modern Day, and World War II. Because this effort will require a large amount of new radio voice overs, we will also take this opportunity to update the radio communications for other entities like flight members, other flights, AWACS, tankers, etc. This will continue to be developed in 2021, but we do not have an estimated release date. Quote Over the past six month we have been working on a human motion model with intelligent behavior for infantry and deck crews. We have started with the deck crew, and we will scale it to infantry units. Both logics will receive two new behaviours: Obstacle Avoidance and Dynamic Reroute according to the situation. Re-routing behaviour is based on a path search algorithm with any-angle path planning. Obstacle Avoidance is based on the Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance (ORCA) method used for holonomic robots with several restrictions on linear and angular speeds, linear acceleration, and discreteness of animation. The first phase of the development is complete and cases must now be considered for when aircraft are passing by, directing aircraft to and from a parking position, avoiding moving aircraft, different states of service and interruptions, etc. That is only a example.
