Korean War Arena and Jets

[Vraciu]

I saw a super high fidelity game with Korean War jets fighting.    Someone posted it here.    It was quite amazing.

Allow free arenas with jets if someone wants them, but again, we need critical mass in the Melee more than another arena.

What if the 3-country chess piece Open Melee format is played out after 20 years and will never reach critical mass again? 

20 years.

Well you could rename them as A B C and get another 20 yrs!

It is, but replacing it with another three-sided arena using different planes won't solve the issue, IMHO.

Nope.  It might require a bit more out-of-the-box thinking than that.

What are the odds of that?

You have to get the Corsair also.

No sim out of the box has even attempted to properly cover Korea since Rowan's outstanding MiG Alley. But both generations of Third Wire's Strike Fighters series had extensive free user mod packages that allow building one hell of a great Korean air war environment with nearly every conceivable aircraft flown during the war being available for AI and most of them being flyable, too. I would love to see a dedicated Korean air war sim focused on air-to-air combat with high fidelity flight and damage models similar to Aces High, but it clearly isn't going to happen anytime soon, if ever.

In our ever so small niche of PC air combat simulation, WW2 is by far the breadwinner for developers. After that, modern jets sell the best. All the great generations in between are left behind At least WW1 still gets some love periodically.

In the meantime, DCS World has the F-86F, MiG-15bis, and P-51D. It just needs a terrain map and a ton of ground objects and AI aircraft to make it work half decent.

You've obviously never played Mig Alley! Awesome game! TONNES of community updates and mods. Some still fly it today!
