PetRock Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hello LN/M3! Just wondering if there is any news to share, or if there will be some sort of a newsletter at the end of the year with more info? Hope all is well and looking forward to the F-8!

Lieuie Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 It's been 6 weeks and no news yet. That's true. I posted it to show that an update is or at least was planned for both the Corsair and the Crusader. Hiromachi mentioned he is waiting on some artwork hence the delay. I assume it is still going to happen at the very least before the new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool though, I'll take any Crusader, really. French Aeronavale Crusaders were pretty damn sexy, though. The perfect solution would be to just offer the Magics on the F-8 we get so it can pose as a French Crusader. MiG-21bis can't launch the Grom in reality and HB are considering letting the F-14 use R-73s, IIRC. I saw them flying in Bretagne, Les monts d'Arree, they were doing some limited aerobatics just over the village where I was living, but in any case, I always could hear them taking off from Landivisiau, from the top of the mountains on a clear day we could see the coast... The F-8 have been my favourite fighter for as long as I played Strike fighter II with some interresting settings, like unlimited amo, no missiles (guns only) with tons of Mig-17, 19 and 21 to take down, I am not sure its flight envelop and characteristics were accurate in Strike fighter II but flown as it should, you can yoyo Mig 17s easily and take them down. I'll add this one to my collection for sure, hope we have a French Navy version too... 1 Win 11Pro. Corsair RM1000X PSU.

Just like the F-8E(FN). Edit: I guess they'll have to chose a technical configuration. I think AFC 544 should be the configuration to go for. Decreased flap and aileron-droop should make for better wave-off capabilities. Edited December 28, 2020 by Bremspropeller 1 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!

Skysurfer Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I think we are getting the latest and greatest F8J with the 420 engine and APQ-124 radar + AIM-9G capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangs Out Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Not just the Aim-9G, IIRC the F-8J could use the Aim-9H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bies Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Carrier operations on the deck of WW2 Essex Class - USS Shangri-La in year 1962, somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. With takeoffs and landings of the first, lightweight F-8A Crusaders being quite new, in service from 1957 (notice lector still calls it "F8U" along with the older Navy designation changed in the same 1962) There are also A-4D Skyhawks light attack planes, F4D Skyray high altitude interceptors with huge lift to mass. (Make sure you selected 1080P since video has great quality for 1962, year of Cuban missile crisis, it's way before Vietnam.)
