There is an awesome community mod, but if we get one from eagle then it needs to be a 1980s refit in dcs core.

I'm not opposed to having them all, its just that WWII is really lacking in terms of navy. But following on @upyr1, if they did an IOWA class, then you would think having both would not be a major issue.

 

I know there are some really good mods out there, and it is not that I do not appreciate all the hard work the community has put in, its just that I don't like running mods. I run the stable version with no mods. I find that it gives me the best performance/experience. I am not a tech wizard, and hate troubleshooting problems every time a patch comes down the line.

 

What I would really like to see is ED welcome some of the indie Devs work into the DCS fold. They could ensure that everything gets reviewed with a fine-tooth comb and that anything accepted meets with ED's high standard. But this would help give recognition to the indie Dev's, speed development of the DCS World platform, and would also cater to ED's entire customer base as it would include people like me that prefers to run official content only.

Well actually the WWII side of the navy is most in need, so why not a WWII version?

I expect that will be in the world war II asset pack. Though I would like the Iowas in all their forms with enough cruisers and destroyers to assemble 50  years worth of battle groups

I think you can thank Ryan Szymanski and the battleship New Jersey museum's youtube channel. I know watching it I think "we need battleships"

All the Iowas would amount to a total of 13 ships. The 4 in their World War II form, the 4 in the Korean form (same as world war II except for a helicopter pad on the stern, the NJ in the Vietnam era- we should have the pools the pools will be awesome), and of course the 1980s refit.  I'd love to see some battleships for both the axis and allies.

I would love to see some of the community's AI assets get added to DCS core but sadly in PM exchanges Hawkeye doesn't have the interest, even though it would be awesome if he and the admiral changed their minds.

Anything before 199 something is lacking. So as I said earlier how about 50 years with of Iowas and their escorts.

This right here. If it had REAL 16" guns with associated performance, AND tomahawk/TLAMs it would get a lot of use.

 

The mod one is indeed visually fantastic but is missing those two things.

They have added both with the latest update. Right now since Mario is working on the 1980s model they have the CWIS and missiles firing from 5 inch guns.

199... is the BC or AD? :bounce::balloon:    :yes:

 

But yeah I hear you, its just that we have a lot more missile cruisers/Destroyers with almost nothing to do WWII naval battles.

Then there is about 50 years in between.  Here is a list of the ships used in overlord

No it wouldn't however there are two other fittings- with the Vietnam era New Jersey they need to model the pools

I just wish and hope we can see more of the community AI assets make it into DCS core.

Just some thoughts. Somethings I want to see Eagle add to DCS to make the Iowas work.

First would be a ship payload editor I'm not sure if they had a standard load out, but it would be good to alter it.

Next for all artillery is the option to select shell type. In the case of a battleship I'd want to select the battery being used.

And this^^^ +1. DCS World covers a lot of water, and you can't have WWII without ships. We deserve ships:pirate:      :punk:         :cheer3nc::wavetowel:

Looking at wikipedia the order of battle for the Philippines Sea -AKA the Marinas Turkey shoot was 

Japanese forces

Combat ships: 3 fleet carriers, 2 old fleet carriers, 4 light carriers, 2 super battleships, 3 old battleships, 7 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 34 destroyers, 6 oilers, 7 1st-class submarines, 17 2nd-class submarines
Air units: 222 fighters, 113 dive bombers, 95 torpedo bombers

American forces

  • Combat ships: 7 fleet carriers, 8 light carriers, 7 fast battleships, 8 heavy cruisers, 6 light cruisers, 4 anti-aircraft light cruisers, 70 destroyers
  • Air units: 423 fighters, 233 dive bombers, 194 torpedo bombers, 23 night fighters you can get a list of the ships here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Sea_order_of_battle#Task_Force_58

We would need escort carriers and the Marianas, Channel and Normandy maps   transports and old battleships
