I mean, if 1c suddenly started producing modern jet fighters instead of adding to the WW2 theatre, I personally would go through the roof. I can only imagine how it must be for the DCS crowd looking for some decent online play.

I mainly fly DCS and consider myself as a member of the DCS community. The developers stated multiple times that the development of the usual modern jets is not being impaired by the Flying legends models. Of course it doesn't really make sense to send a P-51 to destroy a S-300 which would engage you at a distance of 40 miles, but they'll probably throw in some WWII AI models. Besides that, DCS has multiple nations in it, so you could for example create a scenario which contains the Brazilian Armed Forces as allies with the US against Russia. As far as I'm concerned the brazilians used or maybe still use the P-51 as a CAS plane. I'm not sure if this information is right since I only read it at the DCS forums. But if that's really the case, you would have a scenario which actually would make sense regarding the planeset.
The general mood in the DCS community is of course a little bit split, but everybody (at least I hope so) knows that ED mainly works on the next jet and the Flying Legends series is just a sideproject because of the publisher. The publisher is the owner of a large collection of historical WWII planes, e.g. a FW190, P-51 so they had a really good opportunity to research things. |
