Too bad you can't put a FARP up here.

 

 

 

This should work, though ?

 

You happen to have some duct-tape?

[Guest deleted@83466]

Geez, if you can’t land a helicopter in something the size of an amphitheater without breaking it, maybe you should just stick to the Mirage, you noob.

 

?

 

[Alexmarine]

Reject Helicopters (unless they are carrier borne SAR ones)

 

Return to Corsair

 

(Yes, I previously stated that I would have skipped the Corsair until Hellcat, now I am not so sure about it…)

 

Just have someone announce an SB2C and a TBM too to complete the “Carrier Air Group - 1945 edition” set

Complete? And why 1945 edition set. Absolutely no opposition at all

At the current rate of creating fitting planesets, that should happen some time in the 2060s.

Yeah, I admit being a bit frustrated about ww2 modules in DCS. It remind me of my phase renovating my house. 
By the time I am finished my daughter would no longer have pink walls and my son was fed up with his train wall paper. So It was just starting over again. 
And this Corsair hype, I am going to buy it but what kind of thinking is it? Making a complete logistic around one bird with no opposition and no map?

2030 for just the USN side, 2060 if I also asked for a flyable Japanese set to go along with it

Opposition will be there, only that it will be just AI (as a mainly SP flyer that doesn’t trouble me much for starters). Map will be the WW2 version of the Mariana islands map, didn’t saw much action for carrier corsairs but the Marines flew them from the airfields there. It will also be a perfectly good stand-in for “random Japanese-held archipelago #1648263”. Definitely much better than using Caucasus map as a Korea stand-in

I guess I have the same feeling about this as I once had for GB. 
Imagine what this could have been. 
 

I accept and respect and wish I could think like you, but to me it is only unbearable not to fly the other side. And in a timeframe the other side had a force at least to be reckoned with. 
 

This is why this Corsair only is usable in a Korea setting for me. 
 

Flying it knowing I could fly TBM or SB2C or Japanese counterpart eat me up

I'd love to have the correct maps and plane sets for DCS... guess what though?

We humans have something called 'imagination', we can allow ourselves to believe we are in that F-86 over Korea, even though we are on a Caucasus map!

Even if we were on a Korea map made by Ugra, it's not real, it's only pixels... it's only our mindset we have to change to still really enjoy that fight with those Migs.

We have a limited set of WWII aircraft compared to say, GB series... but even if some of those aircraft don't really add up to the Normandy setting, it's still a hell of a lot of fun to fly the campaigns... again it's all down to mindset.

[SCG_motoadve]

If you fly Single player, DCS WWII is better than IL2 by far in every single aspect, I saw no reason to stay in IL2 for SP, for MP you can have more action in IL2, but to me IL2 is not that immersive with the way planes handle and the current DM.

Been enjoying DCS WWII MP and absolutely love it, is a lot more realistic, no unrealistic UFO maneuvers we see in IL2, and good flying stick and rudder is rewarded, instead of using the advantage of IL2 FM game simplicity to do unrealistic flying, there  is also  no magic bullet insta pilot kills, or wings breaking right and left, instead you get a very detailed DM.

I tell myself to try IL MP , but there is just not motivation, maybe when TAW goes back to the Russian front.

It was…and it did. That’s an often repeated fallacy. No it wasn’t an F-16, but neither was the MiG 17 a MiG 29.

 

 

Yes - in those dog fights with the f-4

 

Yes - those are called dog fights.

 

 

 

I was taken aback by the frankly insulting tone of your post. My post was entirely factual. The fact that you disagree with my characterization of whether the F4 was a "Dogfighter" or not in no way justifies your reply. 

 

Not every AC which can be deadly in air-to-air combat in the right circumstances is a "Dogfighter". Take for example the ME110 or Mosquito. You should know that.

 

I realize that the standard for politeness in an Internet forum is very low but I would expect more from someone like you who provides content in IL2 and in some ways represents the Developer.

Stand down Sarge, I think you're overreacting.

Oh get over yourself.

There was nothing wrong with or insulting about my post. 

 

 

As to the subject itself - F-4’s were dogfighting daily over Vietnam - the end.

 

 

…against all of it’s adversaries in the theater I will add, and with properly trained pilots winning most engagements. Unlike the poor analogy of the 110 in WWII.

 

Edit: P.S. There’s more than one F-4 book out there. Go read a few.

I am basically waiting for two planes. 
Lancaster and A6 Intruder 

Then I shut up. 
I am also waiting for the Chinook. Just out of curiosity of how that machine is to fly. There are light ahead in the very very very long tunnel

Meanwhile enjoy your glaspit junk

Why don’t you practice for the A-6E by learning to be a Wild Weasel in a Hornet?  The HARMS almost fire themselves.

Nah - you’ll complain that the Lanc doesn’t have everything else required for a valid campaign. ?

 

A-6 is a worthy aircraft to wait for, but listen you’re the one who told me before I even installed DCS that the Tomcat was the best module - and it is! There is also a ton of content available for it nowadays. So…why not go enjoy it?

 

It will be a little minute before the A-6 is ready and from screenies I’ve seen of the Lanc, it’s very far from the current 3D mesh and texture standard.  
 

TOMCAT!!

This is what happens to flight sim enthusiasts when they live north of the Arctic circle, living on a diet of the IL- forum, fermented fish, and carabou jerky for the long and dark northern winter.

I guess I thought all Norwegians dreamed of slinging out harpoons someday, but I was mistaken.

My better half is 50% Norwegian, and she doesn't need flight sim frustrations to get sassy with me. ? I think it just comes with the territory.

I do like the Tomcat. And I do like to scare the living daylight if Jester. He was more fun before, I got him to eject very often. 
But I do enjoy DCS choppers. 
I need to tune down my negativity a bit, because that was not my intention. 
This just started as a frustration not getting IJN together with Corsair 

and a earlier date on model. It is over now. 
Today we supposed to have sun, instead we got one of those polar low pressure metrology and snow is up to rooftops 

That is my meteorologist report. But in our mind we are happy it was not rain. 
cats could not get out due to snow jamming their cat door. So they spent the night trying to keep us awake. When wind gust is high visibility is pretty bad

Arctic weather...No thank you. ?

It was 21c and bright sunshine here in the middle USA yesterday.

It will only be 17c today, but I like that much better than snow up over my head. 
 

[Robli]

I don't have very high expectations of getting a solid package for a WWII battle from DCS, but Corsair is interesting and cool just by itself to get and learn. AI Zero and Japanese ground assets will need to be enough for WWII play with it for now. Maybe later on it could develop to somewhat reasonable Pacific package, but I would not expect that to happen for many years.

Do we know yet what kind of Sidewinders and Sparrows the F-4E will be able to carry in the game?  Will they be of the crap variety or later and better ones?  What year of operation is this plane meant to represent?

They call it F 4 phantom family starting with f4 e

so I guess we got all major types including naval aircraft. 
In Vietnam they did good due to tactics and good trained pilots. Crappy sidewinders is a death trap online, so I see your concern. It will meet equal opponents in some ways better planes. 

Edited March 6, 2023 by Lusekofte

[Robli]

I understood that the naval variant of F4 will be a different model, sold separately. Could take years to get that. I am starting to lean strongly towards Mirage F1 as my choice of third generation jet. But as the F4 release seems to be relatively imminent, I will probably hold on for a bit and test drive them both, before deciding.

Is online, “E-Games” efficacy your measuring stick? If so I’m going to just guess ( @Bremspropeller would know more than me) it will be the Mirage. For me it’s about what stirs my blood - F-4 without question.

1972 thru late 80s/ early 90s if you're in the Guaaaaaard.

That's split over two versions: A plain vanilla early 70s slatted Echo and a DMAS bird from the late 70s onwards.

Should cover both flavours of both the -7s and -9s.
