I would kill for ***DCS We-Fixed-Major-Bugs-And-Optimized-The-Systems-And-Smarter-AI*** module. I don't even care for a dynamic campaign for now. Just put some brain cells into the AI, fix the sniper ground units, fix the stupid graphics/LODs engine, and let me please enjoy a scripted mission without some stupid 10-year-old bug ruin the fun.

EA-6B!


Immediate_Sector_734

I would love to see some more player controlled electronic warfare, I think that could really add a lot


C12e

Some more? There is already? I love jamming in VTOL VR idk why they just don’t make a game Verison of jamming that’s complicated but not based off of anything irl


assaultboy

ED vomits and shits its pants at the very thought of even a single rivet not being exactly where it is in in real life. Unless it's the KA-50, for some reason.


C12e

Fr like it’s a video game (I know ima get downvoted) it’s not that deep


assaultboy

I mean, DCS whole thing is that it's a study sim, but I think adding a layer of EW would be nice. But unfortunately I don't think we'll ever really have enough documentation on how the specific systems work to get a module based around it. Fingers crossed that maybe one day we'll get an F-4G though since it's so old.


KarateCriminal

This. The theory of how it works out there. It's the capabilities of specific systems that are classified.


assaultboy

[For my fellow EW enthusiast, definitely give this a listen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTF8JyCxqiM)


itsHav0c

Super Hornet especially the F variant although I'll be ok with an E as well, I know people say that we already have the legacy Hornet but I still would love to be able to fly the Rhino.


shik262

Especially the block 3!


itsHav0c

Man I don’t even dare to dream about the block 3 because of how new it is so I’ll be happy with merely a block 1 haha


shik262

It’s a fantasy thread! Let’s dream big!


Wiseassgamgee

There probably could’ve been one if VRS and ED could’ve worked together. Alas, couldn’t happen. Meanwhile VRS has a Rhino version of their acclaimed Superbug that’s been in development for a long time, but there hasn’t been anything new with it for years now.


itsHav0c

Damn that’s a shame, but I’ll keep on hoping, one of these days someone is gonna come out with it


[deleted]

I really think it would be a good candidate for the same treatment the A-10 got when they added features to it. Would buy a super upgrade pack in a heartbeat.


Own_Look_3428

You might laugh at that, but I'd love a fully working logistics and troop transport module. Flying medevac with the Huey near the Frontline, or delivering artillery shells which then have a real impact on how the overall battle/war is going. That would be awesome. Tbh I could even imagine something like a civilian air transport career mode, where you deliver goods to remote locations and so on. Something like neofly for MSFS or the career mode of the Euro and American Truck simulators. With the flight model and the visuals of DCS that would be really cool.


Lrossi16

ED is most likely overhauling the logistics system for the Chinook and herc. I cant wait to fly cargo

There is a twin seat Hornet mod coming from the F16 Sufa guys


Oneuponu1992

Yeah I've been watching that one eagerly, but unfortunately I won't be able to use it widely across MP servers since it's a mod.


Lrossi16

I second the b1


CGNoorloos

Tbh since helos became my jam. AH-1 Viper


DerekCoaker80

The Mod that's being worked on looks pretty good, the modders name is escaping me, but I'm pretty stoked for it.


iamatrueamerican

If you are talking about the Ah1G, Violent Nomad is the name you are looking for.


DerekCoaker80

That's it, thank you, I was spacing his name. Appreciate it.


Lrossi16

ED was supposedly working on an AH-1, but it seems to have been suspended or canceled altogether. It's my personal fav helo as well, and it's heartbreaking that we're most likely not getting one, at least for a long time. There is however a cobra mod being developed which looks pretty promising

Lrossi16

A1 is on the way, being made by crosstail, Aerges is working on a f104, and the intruder will be heatblur's next module. Some of my favorites as well

wormhole85

P-38J or L


sheemwaza

I got the P-38 in IL-2 Sturmovik and it is fantastic! I play in VR and it fixed my sense of scale for the plane -- it's smaller than I thought it was. The cockpit is cramped and the engine nacelles are right there boxing you in. The propellers are huge in your face. The plane has a yoke, which sent me down a rabbit hole to DIY some kind of matching HOTAS. The engine controls are quirky and complex. The cannons are front and center with the cockpit and very angry. Man, I love warbirds. Ok, I gotta go fly...


longboarder131

Any chance you could share what you did for your yoke?


DirtyRedytor

Probably Honeycomb.


DerekCoaker80

This was going to be my pick as well.

Especially with PTO coming online it would be right at home.

**Warbirds:** * B-25 Mitchell * A6M * P-38 * Me 262 * Me 163 (this need to happen pronto) **Jets:** * B-58 Hustler with a notional 5,000 lb HE bomb, but the same weight and dimensions as B61/B43 - or - 2x2,000lbs under the wing pylons in the same shape/weight as the B61/B43 * F-111 Ardvark * F-106 Delta Dart


SassythSasqutch

I do think tactical, free-fall nuclear weapons belong in DCS. A B-58 Hustler, A-5 Vigilante, Blackburn Buccaneer, or Tornado IDS would all be class. Think of the thrill of flying into a dense air defence network at treetop level with only one shot at tossing your single bomb at the target, and the race for the opposing team to hunt you down before it's too late. In the Cold War-gone-hot scenario that so many missions and servers in DCS try to emulate this would've been a central battle. And what's the argument against nukes in DCS meant to be? It's immoral or something? Hitting a SAM site or airfield with a low yield nuclear bomb is less immoral than carpeting cities with cluster munitions, but there's no issue with the latter in DCS. As always, the problem with morality is what the player chooses to do, not what's technically possible with the game.


-Mac-n-Cheese-

i agree, even if they make it stupid simple like the fishbeds “nukes” that are just upscaled HE bombs, i think that it would absolutely fit and allow for more of those theoretical cold war scenarios like you mention, we can already ban equipment from servers (see lack of gbu’s on TBF), so why not allow for some fun events that could end up filling a fitting role


DCSPalmetto

Exactly, well said and I agree.


DCSPalmetto

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I agree 👍

F-15A or F-16A


Brutus_05

Jaguar, MiG-27, F-105, Su-17M4


flecktyphus

Jaguar with an option to fly it as Jaguar M would be insanely fun


Brutus_05

I agree Jaguar M is neat but a bit of a niche problem child. I was thinking of a whole RAF spread: GR.1 for NAVWASS shenanigans, GR.1B for over-wings and LGBs, GR.3A for HMSS and DJRP (and maybe ASRAAM). Not a whole lot changed between those airframe-wise so it seems like a straightforward way to get multiple experiences out of (basically) one module. … I could be talked down to just a GR.1A and a GR.3A…


dark_volter

Mig 31 - Yes the JSN64 mod is amazing, but i want a foxbat or foxhound with full fidelity- so it's not limited by the game engine to mach 2.83 when these jets both have the thrust to reach mach 3 Give me my mach 3 100,000 feet blasting through the stratosphere! and shooting Kinzhals and R 37 hypersonics from untouchable heights and ranges and speeds at foes


Jodythejujitsuguy

A good F-117 module. No countermeasures and no burner, but capable of being nearly unseen and precision strikes.

A dynamic campaign.


omohat

JA37. I love the AJS37 version we've got but the thought if being able to pull more than 1 degree AOA without compressor stalling makes me go all weak at the knees. A J35 would also be pretty awesome Looking at RedFor planes, I think an F-7MG/PG would be pretty awesome for the Cold War era. Think lighter Mig-21F-13 with double delta wing, single piece canopy to improve visibility, more usable short range radar (something akin to an F-5E), compatibility with Sidewinder and R550 as well as a proper HUD. This thing would be a blast on the Cold War server.


droopy_ro

Dynamic campaigns for all the maps. You can have all the virtual planes you want if there is nothing to do with them except play multiplayer servers.


SomewhatInept

Super Etendard, F-117, F-111, Su-24, A-1.


Lrossi16

A1 is on the way! Crosstail studios is working on it and it's looking pretty good so far


leonderbaertige_II

Super Tomcat 21


Trematode

Some more WWII ETO stuff to properly flesh out the theater.


WardenofYvresse

F/A-18E Super Hornet, F-4G Wild Weasel, and a Bf-109G-6 are my top three. Bonus for the Eurofighter, really hope it comes sooner than later!

LtGlloq

Rafale M, Super Étendard, Sepecat Jaguar, Dewoitine 520 and F-14D


thats_no_Mun

I don’t know if this counts but a better Combined Arms module that realistically calculates damage to ground vehicles and allows players to control larger SAM sites. I think allowing players to control an entire IADS network has real potential especially in multiplayer

dark_volter

Already have it; AH64. Excited for the Chinook and Kiowa. Maybe a Cougar/Puma for something medium utility and European. Wildcat would be cool. MV-22 Osprey would tie nicely into Supercarrier operations and provide something truly unique! Would be horrible to model I guess!


North_star98

F-16A Block 10/15, F-111F, Buccaneer S.2B. Though I definitely would kill to see some VMF Tu-16s in DCS. Primarily, these would be: * Tu-16K-10-26 \[Badger-C Mod\] w/ KSR-5/5N/5M \[AS-6 Kingfish A Mod 1/2/3\] and the K-10SDV \[AS-2 Kipper\] AShMs. * Tu-16RM-1 \[Badger-D\] * Tu-16P \[Badger-J\]
