New Forrestal class carrier renders!

Yes all would be amazing additions...Late 80s very early 90s were my absolute favorite time for carrier aviation...F-14s, A-7s, A-6Es, EA/6Bs, F-18s, C-2, E-2 and SH-3. The most diverse number of airframes on a carrier at once. It was awesome:D. Would love to be able to get a cooperative environment one day where we had multiple squadron's operating multiple naval variants in the same environment...Heck even the AV-8B off an LHA deck will be awesome as well!

 

+1 I am in the same boat!

It definitively looks awesome. But I'm slightly wondering why they have chosen the older Forrestral and not the Nimitz? Either way, great work so far and I'm looking forward to it.

 

ED is working on a Nimitz class carrier. The Forrestal will give us two platforms to fly off of;)

RAZBAM? :D

Someone forgot to align their NAV systems, we are in Heatblur's forums not RAZBAM's :P

Since ED is making a new F-4E model for the AI, I hope they can make it navalised so we can use it on these ships along with the F-14

 

The F-4E has never been a naval variant. For naval variants you want the F-4B, F-4J, F-4N, F-4S or F-4K (Phantom FG1). There was also a USN F-4G back in the 60's that had updated nav suite and ACLS... it only made one war cruise in Vietnam before the jets were converted back to F-4B's and the designation dropped. The USAF, in the late 70's then picked the F-4G designation up for the Wild Weasel V modified F-4E's it was replacing the F-105G Wild Weasel III airframes with.

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Ah that's good to know, there are times when the F-4's various variants can be really confusing, but it's good to know, glad to have learned something new! BTW speaking of these, I hope ED can separately make one of those Navalised F-4 variants as AI along with the F-4E which as you said is strictly for the air force
