Jaktaz Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere here before, but I believe the F-105 would be very popular in DCS. It's a dedicated strike bomber, something that DCS doesn't currently have and won't, with Razbam's A-7 corsair being the only contender. The Thud has a lot of charm with its earthy camo and heavy looking fuselage and wings. It has the ability to carry a huge bombload and fly very fast and low, and would be great in missions with the threat of Mig-21's looming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carss Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 It's great, however for the Thud, I would kinda prefer it to be an AI plane that you escort from F-4s or F-104s or maybe the new F-5 that's upcoming. +1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calman Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I would enjoy the F-105, F-104, F-5 and especially the F-4. I really enjoy Vietnam era aircraft. 1 "Failure is always an option and landing is always optional." -Cal the Almighty -Founder of the Pandas -Callsign: Mother Warning: Prolonged exposure to DCS Forums may cause tourettes syndrome.

Angelthunder Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Well,Razbam has plans to make a Thud someday according to their future plans.But not for at least 5 to 6 years since there focus is on the Harrier AV-8/GR 7&9 and other aircraft for now.But the Thunderchief doesn't have to be explicitly used for a Vietnam Map only.They also served in Europe too,so they could be used in a hypothetical war with the Soviet Union over the Fulda Gap.

I also want it because one of my DCS dream rides is the main Vietnam War nemesis of the Thud and all the other US Vietnam rides, the Mig-17F Fresco. Sooner or later, I am sure a team or teams will make both rides. It is just a matter of when. :thumbup: MJ Edited April 20, 2016 by mjmorrow [sIGPIC]http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/mjmorrow76/SPAD%20of%20a%20new%20generation_zpshcbftpce.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHDT Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Of course, I want a Thud. And not in fifteen years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguanay Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Seeing how we now have a Thud model, did anyone ever make any Vietnam RP6 style missions? I can see coming from the east as a run down towards Thud Ridge into Hanoi. Edited June 1, 2021 by Saguanay Added pic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to work on a thud mod on par with the A-4 but I don't have the skills. I will only use the mod we have as an ai plane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
