Not like the APEX Expansion... It appears as released on steam... but I suppose is just some kind of pre-order... right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 22, 2017 The bundle is released, but not the DLCs themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drebin052 324 Posted March 22, 2017 The F/A-181 Black Wasp fuselage designates that it's apart of a certain "USS Freedom" air wing. Not to mention the MQ-25A Stingray-look-alike has "NAVY" lettering all over it, and there's someone performing MOCAP for a Landing Signal Officer. The Black Wasp doesn't seem to be VTOL capable, so it couldn't possibly be an LHD or anything smaller. And Jay does mention that there'll be a surprise addition coming with Jets DLC...so does that mean there'll be a static or moving aircraft carrier on the way? Yep, now that I've looked more closely at the BIStore page for Jets: Quote The Arma 3 Jets DLC is developed in partnership with third-party external development studio BRAVO ZERO ONE Studios, which is led by Make Arma Not War winner Joshua "Saul" Carpenter. So that's why they (Saul & co.) didn't post much about their "little" side project. Guess a carrier is more or less confirmed? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venthorror 117 Posted March 22, 2017 The sounds of jets warning system and HUD's are awesome! Am I the only one whose blood pressure jumped while watching the video? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also look here - there seems to be a carrier landing assist in the cockpit. Couple that with these deck crew like animations and I think we have a winner. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeonsan 2 Posted March 22, 2017 Will there be an update to the overall flight model as well? I might have missed it in the announcement trailer, but I'm not sure if they discussed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkChozo 133 Posted March 22, 2017 Sort of. They're not updating the actual flight model, but they're going to go back and tweak the existing jets to hopefully make them fly better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polyus 139 Posted March 22, 2017 I'm guessing it'll be a slightly modified Ford-Class. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that will include factors such as plane mass etc. - nowadays, the jets show almost the same flight behavior as the small prop plane they introduced with the Apex update. Seeing the HOTAS joystick in the trailer makes me hope for a finally working joystick support :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no reasons to have deck crew animations without a deck. They don't do that stuff on land unless it's for training. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted March 23, 2017 Future is when you take two old planes and mix them together. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnetar 78 Posted March 23, 2017 I would very much like if they implement also an advanced flight model for combat planes. It would put the experience on par with Helicopters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peegee 118 Posted March 23, 2017 People dwell in the past so much. Let the devs have some artistic freedom, I can only imagine how painful it is to model the same old A10 over and over again. It's still in the end, only a game not a full on simulator. That said I can not wait to for Shikra, especially the blue color is just awesome. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sonic boom simulation. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timelines and details are still pure speculation. I'm sure we will find out more soon enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavygunner 179 Posted March 23, 2017 Well, aside from the carrier we are surely getting, I want to discuss new weapon systems. As an example the new pics which are showing Greenfor Jet have some new kind equipped, is it an additionall fuel tank or a missile? I'm talking about his: Spoiler Looks like a missile to me.

It's because everything about it is aerodynamic. The Wipeout however, just looks rushed, little thought of aircraft design other than "stealth up an existing airframe". Well it may look good to others but i've been a fan of aircraft since single digit years, i know what a good aircraft looks like. Anyways yeah, i hope they have a good line up for the content.

Sorry but OFP Malden didn't have an aircraft carrier, it had one main airfield and one smaller one. Only Arma2 on Utes has one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had hoped that Stratis and Altis would have been on the same map and you could fly cross-country flight from one to the other...I think they are just under 40 km apart in real world. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lemnos/@39.7514197,24.960154,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x14af9308e2419f95:0xd91859654cb35ebd!8m2!3d39.9198413!4d25.141484 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
