P-51 and FW-190 http://fighter-collection.com/pages.php Looks like there was a P-51 folder in the BS2 install Quote
Klaiber Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 That would be awesome! Seriously. Quote
Britchot Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 F-4 Phantom would have sold me on the game. Quote
Klaiber Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 If they had a flight sim with a Thud in it, I'd be sold. The Thunderchief has to be my favorite a/c of the era, with the F-4 coming out as close second. Quote
Wilcke Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 The 'Thud' and the F-4 would be great to fly in a state of the art sim. Especially in a Viet Nam era theater. Losses in the North were pretty substantial for both these airframes. So it would definately be a sim with 'pucker factor'. In the North 282 Thuds were lost, 192 F-4's and the USN lost 173 A-4 Skyhawks. These are just combat losses for NVN, not all in theater. Total in theater losses for the Thud were about 382 airframes, which amounted to 46% of the USAF F-105 inventory. They were gradually pulled from frontline duty starting in '86 as the F-4 Phantom II squadrons began deployment to SEA. However the Thud continued to fight on in SEA as a 'Wild Weasel' aircraft, again put into a role that subjected it to more combat losses since it was the first aircraft in and last out into hostile airspace. You have to commend the pilots that flew them as to their skill and courage as they attempted to complete their 100 sortie tours which only counted if they were flown into NVN. Quote

Krupinski Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Man i hope it's an F-4. What do you guys think? Early no gun? later with gun? Quote
Britchot Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 I would hope early, no gun. If it's an A-4, I would be out of my gourd with excitement. Quote
Klaiber Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 Same, I would hope early, no gun. Quote
