HazMatt Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I wish I could get excited about Korea but for some reason it's not working. I'm more of a prop plane guy and I really like the early war, battle of France, battle of Britain plane sets. I guess jets just aren't my thing. I do hope Korea has much success so that after Korea hopefully we can have some more prop planes!

But I recently heard there won't be much in the way of servers and I play online for the most part. I'll prob buy whatever the base is on sale to support the cause but I doubt I'll be playing it. Who knows. I may be wrong and love it.

Trooper117 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Well, there is such a thing as new servers... many people have been waiting a long time for a proper Korean war flight sim, so don't go by what one influencer has to say. 1
[CPT]Crunch Posted June 10 Posted June 10 If they develope a few new server modes and a mission builder that's more accessable, than dedicated servers become a mute point anyway. It hasn't always been this way where we are over reliant on them for the dose of online activity.

I understand where you are coming from as I feel the same way about the newer jets like the F-15, 16, 22, etc. But consider that in Korea it was the first and perhaps only war where props and jets fought each other in dogfights. Also consider that how the best performance piston engine fighters from WW2, running tons of supercharged (or turbocharged boost), coupled with W/I or even NOS, were at the low end of where the Korea era jets were starting. Basically we are having fun at IAS in the 200-300mph range in the WW2 era prop planes. That's where it just is starting with the Korea era jets. They have more acceleration and still are basically the body of the latest prop planes of WW2, refitted with a jet engine and swept wings. The F-86 shares a lot with the P-51 IMHO. I know they are different planes and it was really a redesign, but the evolution you can see in it. So, I suddenly got reinterested in Korea war era jets. I still lose interest in the later and much faster jets. But these early subsonic jets (but still hitting 600+mph TAS) are still a bit more rough around the edges and simpler like the WW2 era prop planes. They still were at the point where you had machine guns and engaged in bonafide dogfights. Although at considerably higher speeds and probably some changes in the tactics as a result. The newer jets, from what I understand at least, are more a radar intense, engage, launch missiles, etc. type of ordeal. I just can't quite get into that. Also, listen to the sound effects video they released for the Korea series. The jet engines just on startup and idle sound pretty brutal! Not your typical jet engine today. You can hear it practically shaking the airframe and how everything is at the limit for the technology at the time. Consider the acceleration too. Slower below 150mph compared to your WW2 prop plane, equal in the 150-200mph range, but above that it just keeps pulling. It will pull at 400mph like the P-51 at 250mph.

dawud Posted June 18 Posted June 18 (edited) I´m just happy that they said in their recent Q&A Video, their next Project is the Pacific. Superstoke, even tho´ it seems odd after just Introducing Jets. <3 How about early Cold War after that? Edited June 18 by dawud
Mysticpuma Posted June 23 Posted June 23 It's sad to see this new tech and know that I'll likely be dead by the time it ever (if it ever does) recycles back to Normandy 😟 1
Sky_Wolf Posted June 26 Posted June 26 My hype for Korea is drastically improved AI, for example having wing mates that are responsive to commands, enemy aircraft that behave realistically depending on the situation, and flight tower communications for landing. Have the devs mentioned AI in Korea yet? 1

Alexmarine Posted June 26 Posted June 26 (edited) My personal hype will be flying the F-80/F-84/F9F in the ground attack role (with the F-51/F4U sprinkled in) Edited June 26 by Alexmarine 2
Enceladus828 Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Not a huge deal in GBs, I would prefer any bomb sights to be like how they were in 1946 and Dover where you have to go to the station, lean to the scope and plug everything in. How they were in RoF and GBs was more arcade-like. 1
Hoss Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Plenty of hype...... with just one gripe...... no CVs..... 1C, needs 1CV for USN and one for RN.... 1
BlitzPig_EL Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Word is that some time after launch an Essex class will be available for Korea. 1
ST_Catchov Posted June 26 Posted June 26 I wanna go on sightseeing tours in a jeep checking out the map .... Spoiler but secretly be on a covert mission to blow up dams for the war effort.

[CPT]Crunch Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Ailerons, elevators, and rudders that lose effectiveness at low speeds. Get slow in the pattern in a jet and die.

=NOSIG=Ask Posted June 27 Posted June 27 I'm excited for the technology update and I'll definitely buy and try it out. Long term I'd like the wwii maps moved over as well. I'd be willing to pay some money for an updated module.

Oboe Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Those cockpit shots are beyond stunning-- they look photorealistic. Incredible work, guys! Congrats on the breakthrough technology! I find I'm still hungry for a short video clip of a new aircraft. How's the F-84 coming along? Or the Panther? There's something about straight-winged jets I find so compelling. They are beautiful, with one foot in the future and one foot in the past. 4
jollyjack Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Without this one no Korea for me, and its for sale even: https://silodrome.com/mash-bell-47-helicopter/
Talisman Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Helicopters are surely a 'must have' in Korea. I am very much looking forward to the dev diary covering helicopters. 😍 Happy landings, Talisman
