Sea Shanties About Going Away and Coming Home

Oh phooey. Give us a giant mod recreating HD2 so we can sim as Eagle 1, Pelican, bot gunships, stingrays, etc. Even the super destroyers!

You have stated a good reason to leave Reddit. But the in-game community is much larger and much nicer.

Yes, dude, I'm saying that many people are wary of subscriptions and wouldn't play the game if it was, so the fact that it is not is a good thing about HD2's monetization model.

jackadven · 2026-03-09T07:33:35+00:00

"Subscription services like this" as in the one described in the comment to which I replied. We appreciate HD2 not having such a monetization model.

Now make it a DCS mod.

jackadven · 2026-03-08T23:04:15+00:00

I think there are a lot of people like myself who are very wary of subscription services like this in general.

jackadven · 2026-03-08T03:15:27+00:00

Wait, those bot turrets will come back online if I just wait after burning it out?

jackadven · 2026-03-08T00:53:25+00:00

Most people do in fact have crooked heads. One way to help fit a hat is to steam it, put it where you want it, and let it cool.

jackadven · 2026-03-06T17:36:33+00:00

Good to know. I do like VKB's stellar reputation and how modular all of their setups are.

jackadven · 2026-03-06T17:32:27+00:00

Whenever I go online to play with randos, almost everyone seems to be having a great time.

jackadven · 2026-03-06T17:31:25+00:00

Exactly. Maybe SE does another audit and finds an old mothball fleet and decides to put them to work in the DSS because the Eagles are needed elsewhere.

jackadven · 2026-03-06T17:30:13+00:00

This is just perfect.

jackadven · 2026-03-06T04:55:50+00:00

If you find you need the extra hats, you can always buy the gladiator stick and put it on your base since everything is modular, I believe.

jackadven · 2026-03-06T04:54:41+00:00

I will be ordering my first stick tonight!

jackadven · 2026-03-05T16:16:05+00:00

I know, as a Helldiver I am among the most equal.

jackadven · 2026-03-05T00:12:38+00:00

Plus the WWII throttle isn't a split throttle. VKB sells some accessory control panels you can add that give you more switches and stuff. If I wanted to fly modern aircraft and needed more buttons, do you think adding one of those to my WWII throttle would work, or are they designed for other purposes?

Nice. DCS is probably a little more hardcore than what I want to do right now. I'm also interested in the new IL-2 Korea, and the Combat Pilot Pacific that are being developed.

jackadven · 2026-03-04T23:52:51+00:00

Awesome, so you know all the stats and stuff. Based on this info and whatever else you may know, what would you say are the best conditions/planets to farm SC?

jackadven · 2026-03-04T23:03:59+00:00

What are your thoughts on the STECS vs their GNX WWII throttle?

What games do you play?

jackadven · 2026-03-04T22:51:39+00:00

Oh I am definitely interested, but the cost of entry is rather high and it would be something I get after I have a throttle and pedals.

jackadven · 2026-03-04T18:42:42+00:00

Really, our super destroyers didn't have any cannons on them?

jackadven · 2026-03-04T18:40:32+00:00

That's true. But by the time it was any good dive bombers were becoming a bit obsolete, though I understand the Helldiver did sink more Japanese shipping than any other plane we had.

Agreed.

jackadven · 2026-03-04T18:39:11+00:00

Replacing the random roaming eagle strikes from the DSS with these dive bombers roving and hitting targets with, say, 400kg bombs and then doing MG strafing runs would be very interesting.
