mossie definately just because its a mossie. I'd pay separate for a II,
iv, vi, ix and xvi, tse tse they are just irresistable. F4u with a bit
of misgiving, the sheer brute force and ignorance of it plus carrier
landing but again, like the P47 what then? At least the Falklands map
may have enough sea room to make realistic ww2 type navigation in it.
Apache yes like helis, but similar to hind need to see how the second
cockpit crew limits it. The F14, cannot really use back seat cos ai
pilot cannot do anything. Apache is possibly more playable than the
hind, which used the brute force approach rather than the western more
subtle approach playing hide and seek (like the black shark) - AI air
defences possibly make the hind hard going. Would probably take kiowa as
first choice cos like the gazelle (regardless of its bad press). But
helis fit the map sizes.
Just shame we have no red air force, su7, 17 and 24s early mig21
mig23+27. At moment all you can have falcon4 type co-op on made up maps.
So whats the point of having a6, F4, lightning, 104, 105 and a tornado.
Cannot see that changing before even I can afford to buy a second hand 4080.

I just like the F86 a long time ago we used to fly on that server Phil was on,
it’s not a bad server using the caucuses map as Korea. Flown the Mig as well
it’s a nice aircraft, they are jets that are not too hard to learn like the
props, compared to the modern jets and weapon systems.
Yeah maps are a issue the only longer range maps are the Persian gulf and
Syria, the Korea and a bigger Europe map would be nice. I like the idea of the
Mossie, F4U, and Apache, maybe when I get a 3080 or 4080 LOL.

Video - at least Phil shows his "warts" as well. About a second before he pulls
trigger the low F86 tail shows fairly clearly.
Could never get any enthusiasm for that era - ww2 planes with jet engines. F86
looks nice and is nice and easy to fly. I have the mig but apart from going
through the startup - never flown it. I cant see dcs making a big enough map
for korea (ie similar to Falcon4.0) to do justice to 200miles to mig alley
thataway. Nor anything to do it justice, same goes for vietnam, or even cold
war europe (never mind ww2).
F5 is good, as is the mod2.3 putting the A4E in game (although they might be a
bit ambitious with how accurate its avionics are). Old style bombing at its
best. But nought beats the viggen. Fly dcs so little that sticking with easy to
remember works for me with them better. Got my wife to buy the vaicom comms for
it - thats pretty neat once you get head around it.
But as I dont run beta, it will be a while before I get the new update(s). The
hind would appeal with its discount but it could be 6 months before it appears
on release so no go, and it could be same with mossie when it surfaces, that I
will buy - regardless of the idea that never need to put more than 20% fuel
load to fly round the ww2 maps after waiting forever for it.
I was tempted by P47 with its cheap rate - almost, but I have used it during
the freebies trial they did and it just feels like a waste of money with nought
to do with it - the entertainment virtually ends with learning to take off and
land reliably.
