P-47D Thunderbolt

Development Report

We will be introducing two expansions to DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt. The P-47D-30 (Early) modification will become available; equipped with a Mark 8 gunsight, an earlier version of the control stick and throttle lever, as well as modified bomb dropping mechanics. From the exterior, the model is easily distinguishable due to the absence of the fin strake in the upper fuselage.

Our second modification is the P-47D-40 with rocket capabilities. These rockets are the familiar HVARs and the M8 rockets, both used extensively by the Allies in large numbers during World War II. The aircraft bombing loadouts have also been expanded.

Coming soon: integration of water methanol injection, improved engine damage modelling, and compressibility recovery using underwing dive flaps.

F-16C Viper

Updates

Most notably, we are working on the HARM and Maverick missile systems and look forward to sharing more information with the next 2.5.6 Open Beta update.

Watch DCS: F-16C Viper - AGM-65 Maverick Basics.

Thank you again for your passion and support,

Kind regards,

Eagle Dynamics Team
