Nordic V3
-
For those perhaps wondering about what is next for Nordic (I am sure are 1 or 2 two people out there besides myself) I thought I might throw a few ideas out there - see if something sticks.
In addition to fixing some of the bugs/issues in the Bugs/Issues V2.1 thread, we are looking at a few new things:
1. The Swedes, at the height of the Cold War had a very interesting network of communications for command and control and a lot of dispersed airfields, that in time of war would see aircraft sent to. These airfields were small in nature, integrated into the road networks and, it was hoped would prove much more difficult to deal with than a few larger airbases with aircraft consolidated in just a few locations. Besides, being a very interesting read, it makes for a very interesting concept for Falcon to try to implement. The project would involve building or remastering a few unused airbase objectives and putting together some new airbase tiles to put under them.
2. There are a few additional aircraft to upgrade the database, but not many; a) A-7D Corsair II, A-7E Corsair II, JAS-39C, JAS-39D and to add a few new aircraft: Victor Aerial Tanker, P3C Orion. Some additional aircraft may be upgraded depending on what presents in BMS 4.34.
3. The skins to add include (from the skins page): a) JAS-39C (using existing model), b) JAS-39D (using existing model), Bae Hawk Winter Scheme, Jaguar Winter Scheme, F-4E Euro I, A-10 Winter Scheme, SU-57.
4. We have considered some upgrades/or new aircraft carriers with some extra detail like LHD Class, Nimitz Class, and Kuznetsov.
If you have some suggestions please don’t hesitate to suggest.

How about all of the above
-
More battalion types with more accurate equipment ? I checked V2 and even the stuff and for '80s were not well set battalions not even for '90s with fictional and assumed eq.
-
Try jas-39D.

@Chiang:
Good morning!
Thank you very much for your excellent work. But I was very unhappy with the Russian aircarft carriers which was not with true Kuznetsov skin. Also Su-35, Su-30, Su-34, Apache AH64, etc skins are not very nice. Is that possible to have skins like Balkans theather level?
Thank you!!!Chiang - it sounds like you are talking like a future developer. Kuznetsov was never intended to be developed for V1 or V2. All attention was spent on the “bones” of the theater which was to get working campaigns, usable terrain, and functional vehicles (aircraft/ground). But, yes better skins are possible - they have to be made or permissions obtained to use an existing PSD or modify someone elses. That is easy stuff. The Kuznetsov is definitely one of the priority carriers I would like to see more development on.

Agree with molnibalage, I would love a more authentic 80’s campaign

that is probably the last touch before v3 is realesed. we can work on one db until we are ready and then we can start an authentic units and 80’s camp. db will be split, one way or the other, so it will be a seperate job every time Nordic is updated. i dont have a solid plan in works yet, but i think we can count on gza and Molni to help out when the time comes,right? we already recieved extensive help and advice from you guys, we just weren’t ready yet. its getting there though. cheers

Yeah sure I’d love to help out!

Has the Euro fighters floating MFDs been fixed yet? That would be an awesome fix and would absolutely cement my enjoyment of the theatre.
The victor refuelling is cool, but unless 4.34 supports probe and drougue refuelling I’m not sure it would be that useful…

You guys rock! Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing your ideas.
All the best, Uwe

Those mfds on those couple of jets, are not fixed yet. They still look odd in track ir. It’s in the to do barrel though.

Just send me PM and I can make recommendations considering keeping only existing battalion qty. or in case we can count new ones.

I am hoping we see some things operating ASW and Drogue refueling … so, having a few a/c available, just in case won’t hurt.

I would love to take off from the Swedish highway after refuelling and weapons turnaround and turn northeast…
Landing the highway must be a thrill. Those airfields mentioned, is a well-known exiting Swedish secret. -
I ordered this book which I hope contains a lot of info on the Swedish airforce during the cold war (kalla kryget = cold war).
(now work on my Swedish…… ännu inte bra)

F-16CM50 Please
or similar Blk 50 (just used to having AGM-88s)
-
I recommend in NORDIC V3 that Banak airfield (ENNA) is implemented. It is a perfect airfield to operate from, whatever side you play. Also have a couple of good restaurants/bars.:-D

British, French, Spain, Italian aircraft carriers.

that is a nice idea. we will have to see, i still wish for new carrier launch ramp code for the kuz and some brit carriers.
