Loc: Over the hills and far away.
The only DLC plane I have is the Mirage 5BA. What are the GOOD ones? Worth having, I don't want to have just another Hunter in my collection. Any recommondations? the F-4EJ or F-4K?? MirageIIIC?? I have these planes already from the Mirage Factory, is it worth it getting the DLC ones or are my TMF ones good enough??
Also is there any DLC plane gonna be released soon or is the DLC plane thing done? Anybody knows?
And where can I find that gorgeous O-1E Bird Dog I see in so many screenshots? I believe it is payware, who made that one? Is there any other payware that is worth considering??
I believe the Bird Dog is Old Diego's work. Used to find the download link at Combat Ace Forums, in the Modders and Developers section, under "Overkill" title, but seems to be missing...

I think, with the exception of the Mirage, most of the DLC planes so far are glorified skins. There are some loadout/ordnance differences, but not enough to represent much value to me personally (that said, I bought the first three to support Thirdwire, but I don't plan to buy any more DLC unless they offer (like NA) new aircraft or maps/campaigns).
Most of the interesting stuff is being done by modders in my view - such as the Buccaneer, Malvinas campaign, Desert Storm.
Bear in mind that if you get the F-4K DLC it is named exactly the same as the TMF versions, so rename the MF version to F-4K_TMF or something [including the inis] or you could have issues.
