CFS 4 Korea?

[Wing Nut]

I think it would be kind of nice to see MS move beyond WWII in the CFS series and a nice sequel might be CFS Korea.  It would be great to fly some of the early jet fighters.  My question is; What planes should be involved in that and why?

Obvious choice are:

P-80 Shooting Star
The first US jet fighter...

F-86 Sabre
The plane that made the war...

F-82 Twin Mustang
The most unusual plane of the war...

Mig 15
No explanation needed...

What have I forgotten?  Does anyone know of any Russian planes beside the Mig 15 and 17 that flew in Korea?

Blech!

I've always wanted to see a hypothetical cold war one. Norad & Allies Vs USSR. The best part about that would be the planes that never reached active service, like the CF-105. Think about it, escorting Vulcans or blasting nukes out of the sky in an Avro Arrow or Saber.  ;D

I've always liked Corsairs vs. Zeroes

If I remember correctly, Corsairs were still used during Korea.  It might be kind of neat to take on a Mig in one!

actually a great number of prop planes were used in Korea. Not only the Corsair, but the P-51 Mustang as well (F-51 by Korea). Also the US ahd the A-1 Skyraider, A-26, and the B-29.The North Koreans also had several props, mostly Yaks. What would be cool is if you could pick (for campaign) whether you wanted to be in the USAF or US Navy. Id love to see a Korea sim and i think we probably will (CFS5....?)

As much as I love WWII Fighter planes, the WWII thing is getting a little stale.  I think it's time to move on to something else, and the next logical step is a Cold War sim (Korea or Vietnam) or a Modern sim (Persian Gulf).  A trip back to WWI would be nice, but I don't think it would rate an entire series like WWII.  The Persian Gulf would be ok, but there were really no air to air battles there; just ground attacks, so any mission involving dogfighting would be 'what if'  That leaves the Cold War.  An F-4 Phantom over Hanoi would be pretty cool now that I think of it...

Thats why I reworked my CFS2 so it has all
the WWI planes, some of the dog fights can
last for hours and fuel becomes a problem!
A lot of the action in just feet above the
ground, sometimes the bullets kick up dust
in your face

Well they were using Spitfires in Korea, so I don't have any objections. Maybe it is time for a theoretical Nato vs USSR game, if the campaign style was similar to that of CFS3 I think that could really work well.

WWI or Korea for me.

I had fun in both CFS 1 and 2 with add-ons giving both those eras.

Best dogfight I remember was in CFS 1 was WWI action over Paris.

Actually it wasn't over Paris...it was through Paris. Maximum altitude in the active combat zone was about 50'!

A hypothetical NATO/WarPac game covering the 50's, 60's and 70's might be very cool.

CF-100 v MiG 17.

i would buy a korean war m$ fightsim, but i don't think they will be doing that for cfs4

i want a really good vietnam air war game. or an operation flashpoint-like game ,which takes place during the vietnam war.

I'd love to see Korea done well in a Combat Flight sim. Mig Alley did the Sabre V's Mig thing and threw in an F-51, but it would be great to see carriers again and to fly some of those early jets off them.
As for player flyable aircraft, well CFS2 forgot to include the contribution from the UK and Australia in the pacific war, so we would expect to see this corrected with a Korean sim. Apart from the usual Mig 15/F-86 types we would expect to see for the UN, Seafire FR-47, Firefly MkV, Sea Fury FB11, F4U-5, F-51, B-29, B-26 and Meteor as well as a good mix of Russian types for the Korean and Chinese.

[Woodlouse2002]

With CFS2 the campaign finished in 1943 didn't it.

Then CFS3 comes out which starts in 1943.

So CFS4 will start in 1943 in the pacific theatre of operations with B29's, Bearcats and all the other late navy fighters.

Maybe even a Burma campaign for us brits!

Just be ready with your island hopping boots fella's.
