Bulldog51 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The SLUF's pals are the A-6, A-4 and F-4 ... we need them all in the DCS USN. Here Here!!!!!! Carrier Op's!!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1y1ngNut Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The SLUF's pals are the A-6, A-4 and F-4 ... we need them all in the DCS USN. Totally agree. They need to bring all the mentioned USN jet plane gang to DCS. Those planes combined with Hormuz map, will be a totally amazing experience on combat sims. Also Nevada for training will be awesome too. With DCS and their partnerships, upcoming modules and maps, we are living the reborn of the combat flight simulator Golden Age.

Gecko6 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Dang it, bring the F-8 Crusader instead! :) Why would you compare a Corsair with a Crusader? The do both have inline intakes and high wings. Plus they were both built by Vought. True be told, The Crusader was nothing more then a Day fighter with aprox 20 kills the whole of its career. The Corsair was all weather, day or night, fighter bomber that has thousands of ground kills in it service record. Not to mention some ATA kills. The Corsair outlasted and out served any aircraft to date as far as I can tell. Just this year the HAF reluctantly retired the SLUF. Yes I am a Corsair Fan Boy. Guilty.

Not so sure about that considering the fact that the F4 is STILL in use today and some of it's current systems are still top secret... :music_whistling: "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence."

Vampyre Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) The Corsair outlasted and out served any aircraft to date as far as I can tell. Just this year the HAF reluctantly retired the SLUF. Yes I am a Corsair Fan Boy. Guilty. First flight for the Douglas DC-3 was Dec 17, 1935. The military designation for the DC-3A is C-47. The first flight for a C-47 was Dec 23, 1941. The C-47 is still in active use today with the SAAF as the C-47TP. This is the gold standard for longevity as far as aircraft are concerned. The A-4 Skyhawk even has the Corsair beat for longevity in active service. I think you need to add some specifics in there to make that a true statement... like saying "for a naval single engine high wing attack aircraft." I will second the sentiment for the A-7 though. The F-8 Crusader, while it has a rudimentary attack capability, cannot hold a candle to the capability of the A-7 Corsair in ground attack. If all you want to do is turn and burn then the F-8 is what you want. For anything other than that the F-8 is not optimal. In DCS it would be nice to have a western ground attack aircraft similar in capability to the Su-25T so we could actually have realistic east vs west multiplayer scenarios. The A-7D/E would be perfect to fill that role.

AG-51_Razor Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Has anyone seen any information about where the A-7 will fit into RAZBAM's production schedule? Initially I had the impression that it would be coming out next after the Mirage once the decision had been made to stop work on the T-2 Buckeye. Now that they have announced that the Harrier is coming, I am just wondering if the A-7 is still in the cue, and if so, where. If it is HALF as cool as the Mirage, I will be a happy customer!

mattebubben Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 will the A-7 be before or after the F-15E? Im hoping before =P. But im fearing it might be after because it seems the F-15E has more supporters =P. the A-7 might be easier as its a single seater though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yeah, personally A-7 is one I'm most looking forward to among RAZBAM projects. I am interested in pretty much all aircraft they have announced, but I look forward most to this one :).

AG-51_Razor Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Well, after experiencing their Mirage, I can honestly say that I will be buying whatever it is they decide to put out next, the A-7, Harrier, or the Mud Hen (F-15E) - isn't it just like the Air Force to give such a disparaging nick name to a ground pounder, no matter how capable it is?? I mean, "Wart Hog", "Mud Hen", "Thud"..... :doh: Edited February 19, 2016 by AG-51_Razor spelling [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxvanwyk Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 THUD was designated to the F-105 by their drivers.....named after the sound it makes when it crashes, many lost due to controlled flight into ground. The official designation is Thunder-chief. "The WWII P-47 had been nicknamed the Hog, and the follow-on F-84 had become the Super Hog. It was quite natural then that the F-105 would get tagged with Ultra Hog. Transition problems resulting in "controlled flight into terrain" gave rise to the name Lieutenant-eater, but that didn't stick. No one really knows what direction the nickname might have taken but for television, Buffalo Bob Smith, and the Howdy Doody show. Howdy Doody, it was alleged, was the illegitimate son of a Strategic Air Command bomber pilot, and Howdy, assisted by Mickey Mouse, was now writing standardization manuals at HQ, USAF. Buffalo Bob Smith, many others contended, was the role model for any number of Air Force Generals, while Clarabelle the Clown trained USAF stan/eval officers. On the television show, intermittently making mischief with the villainous Mr. Bluster, was a bumbling, drooling, semi-evil Indian named Chief Thunderthud. It had a nice ring to it. Thunder THUD. Thud, as in the noise made by a large heavy object hitting the ground. So, the F-105 became the Thunderthud, and finally, in life and legend, just The Thud."

RoflSeal Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm pretty sure that's wrong P-47 was nicknamed the Jug (either from the razorback variants which looked like a milk jug propped vertical or short for Juggernaut) F-84 was nicknamed the Hog or Ground Loving Whore due to its really long take-off.

mattebubben Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yea. The A-7 is an impressive aircraft and im very much looking forward to it (and hope they make it before the F-15E) Its a very capable aircraft and it had numerous modifications over time to allow the use of more advanced weapons like the HARM etc and many also had upgrades with FLIR pods. And when they make it i hope they do the A-7E. Both because the A-7E saw service in multiple nations (Greece and Thailand ontop of the US Navy) and it will also make a great stable buddy with the F-14 from leatherneck. Can you imagine => doing strike missions in the A-7E with F-14s as cap and then you all go back for a carrier landing after the mission =>. The A-7 is very much on the top of my list of the Modules im most looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
