Flaming Cliffs 4

[Jonivom]

What plane would you like to see in a hypothetical/potential Flaming Cliffs 4
(due to the issue of full fidelity in eastern aircraft)?

[SSerponi76]

As ED stated: no more Low-fi modules in DCSW.
Hence no FC4.

[Gunfreak]

As said. No FC4, neither for jets or ww2 aircraft.

[Troll Norris]

While there will be no more aircrafts with SSM in DCS:World, ED has long-term goal of new game focused only on aircrafts with SSM.

[bignewy]

feel free to list what you would like to see if there was a FC4

it is always good to get feedback.

[Insônia]

if there ever will be FC4, it may came to M.A.C.(Modern Air Combat, an arcade standalone game)

WW2 megapack. including AI as well as player useable aircraft.

[Troll Norris]

I have no idea because I am not interested in aircrafts with SSM. So it is yours. :)

A FC attack and transport helo could be a logical step to close the gap to the high fidelity one's. Something like a RAH-66 Commanche, AH-1 Cobra, maybe even another version of the Hind. For transport I'd say the BlackHawk would be essential.

I would love a early soviet helicopter, like a Mi-6 or Mi-2

[Skurge]

su 30 and su 34.
something that can do SEAD good and close the fast ground attack gap with blue.

[sergio.e.samayoa]

FC4 or not I would like full fidelity F-15C.
F-15E is a bomber not a fighter :(

[Compdiff]

Cold war stuff. 70's 80s stuff.
love it.

[AndyMac2010]

more cold war 70s if there was a fc4, more variety and the fact you dont have to have full clickable in the older planes with dumb bombs and sidewinders aslong as the flight model is good hotas controls can do the rest

[evilernie]

dont know i havent played this since the day i bought it , i logged in to play it messed something up (i cant remember what it was) and havent been able to play ever since. i delete it every now and then to make space on my hd when i get pissed when i try to play it and cant.

One of each for both BLUFOR and REDFOR:

- Fighter
- Attacker
- multi role jet
- Attack Helicopter
- Utility Helicopter

By having one of these for each side, you get a balanced game that can be fun for everyone.

FC3 did the first two well enough, with both sides having an ADF and an attacker, but lacked the rotary wing bits. Not surprising though, as rotary is a much more recent development. As far as multi role goes, I'd say that this is a more recent development as well. True multi role aircraft only came into being in the 80's for the west and the late 90's for the rest of the world, but the convergence had been happening since the 70's, so I'd include them as well.

If MAC does eventually surface, I would like to see something like this list though.
Perhaps for BLUFOR, situated ca. 1985 I would like:
US:
F15A as a fighter
A-10A as an attacker
F-5E as a multirole?
AH-1Q (or perhaps S, if you take a littel bit of liberty with the timeline) as Attack chopper
Ch-47 as transport

France:
Mirage 2000 for fighter
SEPECAT Jaguar A as attacker
Mirage F1 for multirole
Gazelle as attack chopper
SA330 Puma as transport chopper

UK:
Phantom F.3 or Tornado ADF as a fighter (with a pretend radar instead of a lump of concrete as a radar)
Harrier GR.3 as attacker
Phantom FGR.2 would also be a good mult-role
Lynx AH.7 attack heli
Puma HC2 as transport heli

And for REDFOR, I'd make the following lineup:
Russia:
Su-27 as ADF
Su-25 as the attacker
Some MiG-23 variant as the multi-role jet
Mi-24VP as the attack heli
Mi-8TV as the utility heli

Unfortunately, the chinese efforts are not really worth much until the 2000ś, so REDFOR would be pretty much limited to this.
