CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted February 28, 2017 I hope they add one for Nato/Csat, and Tanoa's defense force. Something like the F-CK-1A or similar like T-50 multi role of Korea. But as for NATO/CSAT, something stealthy will probably be fitting of their "cutting edge Air Superiority" theme. I also wonder what kind of munitions, possible counter measures (yes, BI did hint at fuel tanks and electronics on pylons via. DVL") we might get aside from the already known content additions. It would be splendid to have a new variety of both Air-to-Ground and Air-to-Air munitions added that provide more interesting options for gameplay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sasha013 225 Posted February 28, 2017 Am I correct in thinking that BI at times, blend different designs of real vehicles when designing their own? Maybe NATO will have a blend of the F-22 and YF-23? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cases in point: The Ghosthawk and Huron are both based on their (supposed) real-life stealth counterparts though. And the V-44's design is also similar to many of the design proposals put forward for the Future Vertical Lift - Heavy variant. Quote I'm guessing with the upcoming Jets DLC, we'll probably realistically see something more along the lines of this: Ugh...I hope not. I still cringe at why BI considered the Wipeout's current design to be "stealthy" or an improvement aerodynamically in any way over its original counterpart. At least give it enclosed weapon pods like the real Advanced Super Hornet has and make the 30mm cannon retractable a la the F-22's M61 vulcan. A stealthified F-16 would honestly make zero sense in comparison to an easy design like the F-35, for instance. Not to mention that the F-35 is already in service both in real-life AND in the Armaverse itself and that it's also directly mentioned by the Y-32 Xian's library description. ...but then again this is BI after all...just pray that the devs chose a good design this time around instead of reviving yet another Cold War-era relic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted March 1, 2017 Hahaha, yeah. I'd cringe at the sight of another cold war revive. However, I wouldn't mind something more realistic, like a Stealth F-18, rumors there might be one being tested, or perhaps instead of a concept design, a choice of one being co-developed by nations. Wouldn't be bad, since NATO already use Israeli tanks in the armaverse... we're looking for a fighter though, but I'm sure BI will allow it to be multirole. I don't see why they don't do the F-22, or something more compact like the ATD-X. As for CSAT, the J-20 would be perfect... if it wasn't an interceptor. That leaves the J-31 and Su-50... although, I would mind if they went with the legendary SU-47, so as long as they didn't ruin it's sex appeal. XP 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ph0enx 12 Posted March 6, 2017 Oh I got something on my wishlist. Something that would be useful even if you don't plan to buy this DLC. (Come on let's be honest. Who deosn't) But still some more realistic flight physics would be awesome. What's bugging me most is that I bank my Aircraft to either one side and absolutely nothing happens. All those forces that have effect on the planes (IRL) seem not to be there in Arma. And also the Collective/Throttle bug should be fixed ASAP before getting into new aircraft. I would be happy about the Jets DLC. But if even the basic framework isn't even finished I think the content in this part shouldn't be extended. I Heli-DLC they delivered a good working Physics Engine for Helis. Unfortunately they didn't force it :P Also the physics itself need to be reworked. I think it shouldn't be possible to drive a car or land a heli on a steep hill. With land vehicles it seems there is no center of gravity on the vehicles so they can flip over. And if you leave the heli in time it will get glued there until you turn on the engine. But I run off the track. I would love to see better physics for jets and altogether and fixed joystick controls. Especially for the throttle. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, you can't release powerful supersonic jets when the game mechanics and physics don't support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted March 22, 2017 I'm not saying it's an F-15 wing, but it's an F-15 wing. At least an updated one. I think it'll be close. It would fit perfectly in appearance and story line anyhow. Look at what they did to the A-10. Stealthed it up and canted the tails. If they are looking for a "cutting edge air superiority fighter", that fits the budget, there would be no further to look than an F-15 that's received a 4++ gen upgrade. Also with the same paint as the Wipe out, it would look too killer. It's gotta be close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah, I saw a plane that looked exactly like the NATO one that BI made while sesrching for the silent eagle. It was called the F/A-28 Tiger Hornet. It's the exact same design I believe. Edit: yup, just double checked. I still think they could have done better with the CSAT fighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunedain 48 Posted March 23, 2017 Payday2 has 40 paid DLCs for a total value of 182€. BIS so far only released four DLCs after four years of continuous support... The whole DLC bundle 2 is 23€ anyway, and quite a bit less for third worlders... Seems to me you the greedy one here boy. Anyway enjoy your ban, I don't think anti semitism has its place here.
