Hummingbird Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Was wondering wether you great chaps at RAZBAM ever considered developing an F-8 Crusader module? Considering your experience with the A-7 as well as the decision to remake it for DCS, you are IMO the best candidates for making an F-8 module.
Prowler111 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well. not for the time being..but who knows?.. Prowler
Home Fries Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Once you guys are done with the A-7, the F-8 should be a fairly short jump, though the variable incidence wing might prove challenging. It would be a day-1 for me though! -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide

It would be a day-1 for me though! Blastomy! How dare you compare the F-8 (one trick pony) to the A-7 Corsair. I foresee some not to friendly fire in your future. :doh: Not sure what I can do to you in a Huey but be sure it will be done with extreme prejudice.:joystick:

It has both guns and sidewinders :P. Incidentally, I had a friend who flew Crusaders in Vietnam and took out a train car with a Sidewinder, so there is A2G capability as well! :smartass: BTW, next time we fly together, remind me to fly on your wing so you can't bag me with miniguns. If I see your door gunner open up all bets are off, though!:D Edited March 3, 2016 by Home Fries -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
HAE5904 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 The F-8E & - 8J models had an A2G capability, usually Zuni rockets were used as well as Mk80 bombs (82/83&84)
mattebubben Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 The F-8E & - 8J models had an A2G capability, usually Zuni rockets were used as well as Mk80 bombs (82/83&84) Some crusaders (F-8E atleast) could also carry the AGM-12 Bullpup. But id much rather have the Corsair for air-ground capability.
Prowler111 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I think the main problem is the time involved in create one of these modules. So far we are about to finish the M2000 and then start coding a more complex aircraft like the AV-8B Night Attack.Sure, we do have an AT-27 which is fairly less complex than even an F-8, but it does takes time to make it right and then there is the Super tucano coming from that production line. So what I say is..let´s wait..if there is a slot in the production line already scheduled, it might get a chance in the mid term..at least from us, dunno if any of the other very capable teams might be interested in it. Best regards Prowler
