Haha! Would make for a good distraction during combat

Am I being too hopefull or is he doing carrier flight deck crew moves?

And there you have it! Should've known they'd combine and F-18 with an F-22. Hence my post earlier on blending real military hardware..

We can only hope BI have prioritised on this while developing the DLC. It wouldn't make sense otherwise. I mean, you can't release powerful supersonic jets when the game mechanics and physics don't support it.

I don't expect it to be created overnight, I never said I did. It was just that, a request. If I'd known requests on this thread were limited to smaller less complex mods, then obviously I would've refrained from posting in the first place.

Then it would defeat the whole purpose of using this thread then, considering it's the 'Addon Request Thread'...

With all respect to JDog and TeTeTìs's' great addon, the Nimitz is not the Gerald R. Ford. May not even be bigger but it is significantly different.

A Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier? Just saying...

Not sure I like the whole tailless design. Maybe BI would've considered the opportunity if hints of a Supercarrier were included in the DLC package.

Only just read this. As much as I'd like to think so, I doubt it, considering the information did specify 'air superiority fighters'. It would be nice though if someone could MOD the X-47B. However, this would be cool:

I have to say, that does look cool!

That's good enough for me!

Wasn't aware of that, however it kind of makes sense now that you mention it. Still, aesthetically it does look good (for me anyway..)

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?

That's the expression I was looking for

I think they did mention supersonic jets only, but don't quote me on that!

@warlord554: The version with fuel tanks, will they be something like below?

True but... it just seems a bit of a 'struggle' to get up there. Nothing like flying in standard Sims like FSX or DCS.

Can't answer that, but I don't think it'll take much difficulty either. Again, though, BI need to work on their vertical distance, so that you can actually fly ABOVE the clouds too.

Unfortunately, you are quite right. Granted the space 'allowed' in Arma 3 maps are very limited when using supersonic jets. We can only hope that they will improve the viewing distance and maybe even provide a large-scale map to enjoy it all. I have noticed too when flying in Arma 3 maps, the vertical distance is quite limited and you can't seem to actually fly over the clouds, which is a tad frustrating. Now BI have specified in the past that Infantry gameplay has always been their priority, however we can only hope that they do work on these aforementioned issues to provide a more satisfying gaming when we finally get the DLC. Or, alternatively, we are placed in the hands of our trusted and talented modders to do the job instead :) (for large-scale maps, at least..)

I'm going to go on a whim here and say you're not too happy about this forthcoming DLC..?

Hell yes my man! I would love that too!

I guess but it doesn't stop me from wishing

Looking really great Warlord554, can't wait!!
