some1 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 thought this was the A7 Corsair? A7 Corsair is on a long list of Razbam modules they plan to make. And M3 is making the F4U Corsair. Yeah, confusing.

Silver_Dragon Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) The A-7 is a newer aircraft and was based on the F-8 design. Yes, the Vought F-8 Crusader make your first flight on 1955, the LTV A-7 fly on 1965, ten years after. The good part, more carrier based aircrafts coming. Now need someone 3rd party build a A-3, A-4, A-5, S-2, S-3, and E-2 aircrafts and SH-2, SH-3 and SH-60 helos modules to complete the carrier air wing.

Kang Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 thought this was the A7 Corsair? They look very similar as the A-7 was more or less developed starting from the F-8 to save costs.
QuiGon Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Why a Chit-Chat thread? Why not use the already exisiting thread in the Magnitude sub forum where it belongs: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234339 ?

Nealius Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 How often were F-8s used for A2G? The bombs in the pic made me think it was an A-7 at first.
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 How often were F-8s used for A2G? The bombs in the pic made me think it was an A-7 at first. With some frequency. However, there were better options readily available so it was an uncommon measure. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
Stratos Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 How often were F-8s used for A2G? The bombs in the pic made me think it was an A-7 at first. USMC used the Crusader as an A/G platform really often during Vietnam War, also in air defence supression role, armed with rockets mostly. I would recommend this book, with lots of info about missions, targets, loadouts... and is really interesting. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
