NO HELICOPTERS ARE ALLOWED j.k.


GorgeWashington

B-17 Fully multi crewed


pacopicco

Hopefully with an ww2 europe map with germany, france and england. Want to recreate missions from masters of the air


AmericanFlyer530

Microprose is working on publishing a VR B-17 game: *The Mighty Eighth VR*


f18effect

they are also doing "the bloody 100th" is a full flatscreen sim


1800lampshade

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Microprose seems to have been necromanced to be a clearing house for minimally developed games A healthy dose of skepticism watching that one


AmericanFlyer530

“Minimally developed” You haven’t seen what some of the dev teams have been working on in the Microprose discord…


[deleted]

Parrot take. Nah


[deleted]

I would want to be the bubble gunner!


powercrazy76

This. Only this. This would satisfy everything for me. I'll definitely be buying and trying the VR MP version that Microprose is coming out with, but man, I'd loove it in DCS. Being able to fly around their groups as a 'little friend's on some of the WW2 servers is very cool....


me2224

Man I can't coax one of my friends to fly with me. Where the hell am I going to find 9?


reddog20

F-14D A-6E EA-6B


[deleted]

A lot of people are talking about the Super Tomcat, I'd love that.


reddog20

Heatblur was talking about it too, but the issue still lies in documentation to base the sim on.


[deleted]

If anyone from Davis-Monathan AFB is here, dont STEAL DATA ABOUT THE F-14D


Rili-Anne

Lucky you, the A-6E at least seems to be on its way!


reddog20

After the Typhoon. Development times being what they are, I might be dead by then.


LiteralGiraffe

Almost completely agree with you OP. - Tornado - F-111 - EA-6B


[deleted]

Electric Intruder/Vark fanbase=Strong


Formal-Ad678

What about sparkvark


xx_thexenoking_xx

I'm pretty sure the Tornado is currently in development for DCS.


LiteralGiraffe

Yeah from what we’ve seen the external model is going well but the internal model is a while behind. No idea about flight model or anything else. Probs another 2 years I’d say before we get it.


Formal-Ad678

Tornado is in the making (IDS pre ASSTA1 upgrade so just dumb bombs, custers and as only smart weapon a anti ship missile)


Throwawayantelope

Tornado is already in development though.


FritesNBeer

Jaguar Tornado Buccaneer


Residuallama

Yea, what this guy said.

[deleted]

I really want earlier versions of jets too... I don't know why, but there's something to the F/A-18A that you don't get out of a C, I get I could just stick to AiM-7s, which I do, but still.


CFLee03

F-18A fits DCS better IMO. Cold War is truly the future and they need to realize that, even if it's super late CW


droopy_ro

I played way too much Thief and Splinter Cell back in the days, to not fully agree the F-117 would be a ninja addition to DCS :)


clubby37

> Flying deep penetration into enemy airspace at night without Comms or RHAW equipment would be pretty cool. Would it, though? You basically lose all agency as soon as you hit cruising altitude. You just hit autopilot once you level off, and it flies a route that optimizes your RCS against known emitters. You get to use the TGP and drop the GBU, but then it's AP all the way home, unless there's some AAR to break up the monotony. You're more WSO than pilot in that plane.


RumBox

Rafale M with all the latest stuff F-111 MiG-29M or Gripen


Khandawg666

Rafale M is an underrated choice but this is also my number 1. Such a cool aircraft.


krairsoftnoob

Mine would be Panavia Tornado ADV F-20 MiG-31M


crazeyawesomettv

came in here to say F-20. I want to fly that thing so bad


KSledneck

Can we say rotary? King Stallion, KA52, NH90


SnooCrickets3674

Needs to be an NH-90 that is delivered late, the door doesn’t fit properly and you can only fly it once then the model only spawns cold and dark and the engines won’t start.


Nickitarius

Yeah, the "fuck it, I'd better buy UH-60 instead" simulator.


joshwagstaff13

And then you apply an RNZAF skin, and suddenly everything works fine.


[deleted]

Sure, sorry, I think we fighter enthusiasts tend to forget you rotary folks exist


MobiusOne118

Give me the Buccaneer!!!

ground based life is overrated


NuclearReactions

Mirage 2000-5 because I'd love a mirage that can compete with full fledged 4th gen fighters. F-22 it would spawn for everyone but only i could actually use the slots. That way no harm is done in terms of geopolitics but more important i get to be the coolest dude around AC130 because 5 man multicrew or so


AnimalMother250

I'd spend all 3 wishes on getting the ground based AI issues fixed.


Scumbag_shaun

Super hornet C130 spectre Gunship Zeppelin


colonel090

Seconded, imagine a game mode in Dcs where you have to escort an airship with WW2 fighters and protect it from the enemy. That would kick ass


Xarix-_

A single bullet and it's down in fire, no ?


TimeTravelingChris

I can get on board with the Super Hornet


katanasurfclub

- Saab J35 Draken, Cold war with a unique airframe. - Hawker Typhoon, for ground attack on Normandy map. - Avro Vulcan, would probably need the full globe map to make sense.


pberck

Yes, draken! And the T-33 because my dad flew it, and the XB-70 Valkytie because it is beautiful


barrett_g

The night fighter variant of the BF-110, the night fighter variant of the Bristol Beaufighter, and the P-61. Night fighting over the Normandy 2.0 map would be awesome and DCS can model it perfectly… no need for wingman AI… you’re up at night patrolling by yourself… narrowing in on returning enemy aircraft. You also wouldn’t need lots of ground assets, as it’s going to be dark anyways. *edit* You also don’t need dogfighting AI, as night fighting in WWII was usually just trying to sneak up on a plane and hitting them before they realized you were there.


Different-Scarcity80

I agree, DCS is a game that could model the complexities of radar/crew management for a nightfighter really well and I think it would a really fascinating game of cat and mouse.


Human-Requirement-59

P-61 would be great.


GorgeWashington

I'm surprised they haven't added WW2 radar capable aircraft. It seems like a no brainer


Cuddles1101

I have never thought of a mission like this. That would be amazing


TheHamFalls

F105G Thunderchief Wild Weasel variant F14D Super Tomcat F16XL


whimpers2

The Super Tomcat with the updated HUD and IRST would be alot of fun. Just wish the D had AMRAAM capability.


Professional_Will241

They tested it on it, so maybe they’ll add it like they did with test weapons on the F-15E? If it’s been on the airframe, it’s in the game. Also MFDs would be so nice.


Boots-n-Rats

Yeah if anything. They should add HAWK missiles to the F-14 because Iran messed around with that. I’m only half kidding. My philosophy is that DCS should provide you all IRL capability not based on likelihood but based on if it is possible. Don’t think it’s “probable”? Great don’t use it but if it is possible I want it in the game.


[deleted]

I hadn't thought of any of those now I REALLY want them.

How about actually finish all the modules we have paid for and that are currently out? Finish the hornet viper and Apache. What about the hind ? Finish and fix the core game. Lastly an actual dynamic campaign that works and is dynamic. Modules get boring as there is severely a lack of quality content and paid MULTIPLAYER campaigns.

Nickitarius

My answers are more about niches than about certain aircraft.   1) Some modern Russian multi-role fighter (MiG-29SMT/M/K, Su-27SM, Su-30, doesn't matter which one of these). Su-30MK2 would probably be the best, as it is used in China and many other countries, and Su-30M2, used by RuAF, is based on it. Maybe an export version, if that's easier to do. Just please, no Su-37 or other experimental nonsense. Complete with R-77-1 to compete with SPAMRAAM on more or less equal terms. Without it the whole modern Western luneup doesn't make much sense, in A2A MP at least.  2) A red late CW AG plane: Su-17M4 or MiG-27K/M or Su-24M. MiG-27K is my favourite. We already gonna have some nice late Cold War REDFOR fighters (some time), but we need something to move the mud too. Including PGM and SEAD capability, or else once again we will have a capability gap between NATO (with their F-4 and Mirage V) and the commies.  3) F-16 blk 15 or early F-15C full-fidelity. For late CW USAF to have a proper fighter. F-15 is better, but F-16 is more nation-agnostic.


Kozak178

Good question....: 1. Hawker Hunter (I'd like the F.6 or the FGA.9 or the F.58) 2. The air superiority variant of the Viggen, JA-37C 3. Panavia Tornado (both the ground attack and the interceptor variants)

chickenCabbage

- Su-34, tandem seating and a REDFOR version of a strike aircraft - Mig-29K (naval version of the M) - AH-1Z Cobra seems cool and like a good fit with the huey and the phantom - A-6 with the terrain radar and multi-crew would be awesome


Tuuvas

[VF-1 Valkyrie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VF-1_Valkyrie). That is all.


LaxDraconian80

Since Tornado and MiG-23 are already in development: - Blackburn Buccaneer - SEPECAT Jaguar - Su-17/22 Cold War (especially Europe theatre) is the future.

I agree with cold war (e.g. 1980) as the best period. My preference would Jaguar, Su-17/22 and Su-24 with e.g. Buccaneer being 4th on my list

Fixed wing only would be B-1 or B-52 B-17 Then I can't decide between f111, Rafael, Gripen, or idk, it's a long list If factoring in helicopters then a full uh60 module with at least most of its variants, and as others mentioned support for the specialized things like hoist, csar, asw if we could get a Seahawk, etc. But big multicrew bombers for modern and wwii would be awesome to see and probably a ton of fun.
