upyr1 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Listening to the interview by the Grimm reaper I heard there is a chance to have multiple F-4 varriants. Please have multiple versions. I'd at least like one Navy. Edited August 5, 2020 by upyr1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evoman Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I had also heard that. At the very least there should be at least two versions. The F-4E to have the latest and greatest And a Naval version that was used the most in Vietnam which I think is the F-4B. It was used by both the Navy and Marines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upyr1 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) If we get the F-4D then I want a 523rd livery. The F-4 is one plane I will buy multiple times- and I do plan to preorder Edited August 5, 2020 by upyr1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see the Naval version come along with it and with that it will be very marketable module. I'd be wishing to see the F-4J being developed or whichever is easier that would go with their version of F-4E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I definitely want the F-4E, but if there is a chance for another F-4 then I would also buy the heck out of a naval F-4! 1 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!

sirrah Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I'm not a big fan of multi crew aircraft in DCS (I like to be able to do everything myself :P), but still, some iconic aircraft will be day one purchases for me! The F-4(any version) is one of them. (same with the F-14. I never properly learned it, I don't really like its flight characteristics, I never bothered to learn the RIO seat and hardly ever fly it. Still, I had to buy it, just because it's an awesome jet and occasionally sitting in it in VR, makes me feel good :D) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I really, really, REEAAALLY want the original late-ish 80s upgraded F-4E they were doing. As long as that is in, the more variants, the merrier! 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...
bies Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yeap. Vietnam War classic variants like F-4B and F-4B for the Navy and carrier capable F-4C/D and E for USAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I guess with the Supercarrier module, ED came to reconisder a naval Phantom. Even though none of the DCS Supercarriers did carry the Phantom, the USS Nimitz made a tour with F-4J in 1976-77. While the Phantom familiy is large with many interesting variants, it is understandable that not everything can be done. If there is only room for one variant, I still think it should be a post-Vietnam F-4E fighter-bomber. It is the most versitile and widely used variant and stays true to the classic characteristics that most acssociate with the Phantom (i.e. no 3rd party mid-life upgrades). If a scecond variant would be possible, which would be absolutely Phantastic, I think it should be the F-4J. It is carrier capable and served in Vietnam and into the early 1980s (last deployments 1981 on USS Forrestal and USS Independence). If Vietnam is not a requirement, the last and hottest USN Phantom, the F-4S, stayed with USS Midway till 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxAlfa Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Honestly I would love multiple version, and also ED to setup a framework for multiply version in exosphere.... I would love F-18A, F-16A, F-15A in DCS... ------- All the people keep asking for capabilities to be modelled.... I want the limitations to be modelled.... limitations make for realistic simulation. Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a bit you realize the pig likes it.

G.J.S Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) TISEO F-4E (ARN-101), but I’d really prefer the F-4S.

Damn...they are getting our hopes up :D They did hint a lot...and here is me hoping that we get two Phantoms. One for AF and the other being Naval. Then again, it was originally designed by Navy. Hoping IF WE get Naval, that its the J or N version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either need a naval assets pack or a naval mod, DCS: Fleet Ops I'd rather have the second. The F-8 needs a refitted essex I think there is definitly room for multiple Phantoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F-14 is my second favorite jet after the Viggen. The Tomcat has been the only jet that I have been able to glide down to my nearest airport without a fuss after the engines died on me once. All my other jets have dropped like a brick after engine failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 F-4E first for me, but I'd certainly also buy a Naval F-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViFF Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So many wonderful variants to choose from :) I would go with the legendary F-4E and for the second version, the F-4S. The F-4S was a F-4J modernized with smokeless engines, reinforced airframe, leading-edge slats for improved maneuverability. First flight July 1977; 302 converted. The F-4J was an improved F-4B version for US Navy and Marine Corps, with emphasis on air-to-air combat capability improvement, which include: J79-GE-10 engines with 17,844 lbf (79.374 kN) of afterburner thrust each, AN/APG-59 pulse doppler radar coupled with the AN/AWG-10 Fire Control System for look-down shoot-down capability, larger main landing gear wheels resulting in wing bulges similar to F-4C, slatted tailplane, ailerons drooped 16.5° when landing gear and flaps were deployed to decrease the landing speed, zero-zero ejection seats, expanded ground attack capability, no IRST sensor under the nose; One USN pilot and one USN Naval Flight Officer became aces in F-4Js. First flight May 1966; 522 built. The F-4J was easy to land on the carrier, very stable at slow speed during the approach. Can't wait!!! Cheers!

Mr. Big.Biggs Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Did I miss something! My take was that sure, they would like an F-4 but it wasn’t anything currently on the front burner?? I9 (5Ghz turbo)2080ti 64Gb 3200 ram. 3 drives. A sata 2tb storage and 2 M.2 drives. 1 is 1tb, 1 is 500gb. Valve Index, Virpil t50 cm2 stick, t50 base and v3 throttle w mini stick.
