Well, that about sums it up for naval aviation. If the Tomcat wasn't enough to sway you and if you're still not DCS-ing, you should be. Nothing else comes close. :)

****In the latter part of 2019, we released a video showing off some of the early fun parts of this project. We are now nearing the finish line. Much of the remaining work involves adjusting the complex deck crew animations to support the launching of aircraft from all four catapults; ship lights that include the floodlights, the Improved Fresnel Optical Landing System (IFLOLS), and landing area lights; damage modelling; network copy protection; and up to 14 spawn points in multiplayer for client aircraft.

Following the early access release, more features will be added that include a briefing room, more ships of the class, player IFLOLS operation, and more.****
****We are pleased to announce that the DCS: Supercarrier module will also include a greatly updated Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier (without deck animation), the Su-33 Flanker D for DCS World (for those of you who don’t already own it), and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer!

  • The Kuznetsov is a Russian-built aircraft carrier that is substantially improved over the existing version in DCS World. It is a completely new model with detailed geometry, textures, lighting, and animations. Players can operate the Su-33 Flanker D from the Kuznetsov, including carrier landings and ski-jump ramp takeoffs. In addition to a formidable suite of surface-to-air defenses, the Kuznetsov is also armed with P-700 Granit anti-ship cruise missiles. The Kuznetsov sister ship, the Varyag, was sold to China and now serves in the Chinese Navy as the Liaoning.
  • A cornerstone of today’s American Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) is an array of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. Built around the SPY-1D radar and AEGIS battle management system, the Arleigh Burke-class provides an effective air defense umbrella around the CVBG and is also armed with Harpoon and Tomahawk cruise missiles, close-in gun systems, torpedoes, and a 5-inch deck gun.
***These new naval elements to DCS World will be at home in the recently announced Mariana Islands map. Although the island portion of the map will be approximately 400x400 km, the overall map size will be 1000x1000 km in order to provide realistic ranges for modern-day naval operations, sensors, and weapon systems.


As with the new Nimitz-class aircraft carrier model for Supercarrier, the Kuznetsov and Arleigh Burke will be visible to all in multiplayer, regardless if you own the Supercarrier module.


DCS: Supercarrier will be available for pre-order on January 17th with a 30% discount and will deliver as an Open Beta by the end of Q1 2020. Owners of DCS: F/A-18C will receive a discount when purchasing DCS: Supercarrier.****

Nothing like flying DCS around the boat now, so this new module will be mind blowing I'm sure. Only one week. (When does it become January 17th in the DCS Store? I need to get this the first minute it comes available.)

Just got new booties (MFG Crosswind rudder pedals). What a good experience with their new Web Store. 7 days from Coatia to MN, nice.

I wonder if the discount for Hornet owners stacks with the pre order discount? Was not even aware that Hornet owners were getting a discount, so it should be great either way.

Hmmmmm....My guess would be not,A 30% discount is already very size able ,I can't see how they could give so many owners of their Flagship Product a deeper discount than that..but...I hope I'm wrong?
 
25 to 30% is pretty darn fair IMO. I appreciate the gesture to be honest we want to keep their cash flow going to keep them in business for future products.

Roger that! I appreciate the fact that they have stayed in business and continue (year after year) to improve their product. Kudos to them!
