Beirut Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I've never had a love affair with the Phantom, my buddy did though. But Heatblur makes a killer module, so I'll think about it. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emg Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, USSInchon said: I thought the original lot of RN Phantoms had the RR engines that weren't quite a powerful as the GE engines. The later lots the Brits got had the GEs The UK fleet carriers had shorter cats, but the F-4K could compensate for that as the RR Spey is stronger than the J79 at low low altitude.

Raptor05121 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If there was an announcement to shove the F-15E and the Apache into the shadows of Hoggit, it is quite literally this. I am absolutely floored and cannot wait to fly the USAF version.

Eldur Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ever since the Tomcat dropped, I had three wishful things in mind to be the next HB module. Those were the Tornado, the F-111 and a collab with ED on that Phantom because of what you guys have done before, especially the multi-crew feature with Jester. I have been laughed at every time I mentioned that possible HB + ED collab as something that would be cool for the Phantom. Now I do laugh at those who kept saying it'd never gonna happen that way As if I knew it all the time... Now HB has gotten about 20% cooler!

Beirut Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Good. If all you people phreak for the Phantom, the F-15E won't sell out on day one and I'll be able to get one without waiting for them to restock. 2 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

CarbonFox Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Awesome news. I also hope by the word "family" we get to see the F-4E, the F-4J or S and the F-4M FGR.2 in the end.

Biggus Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I had this feeling an announcement was coming. The effort going into the Forrestal for what was implied to be more than the Tomcat and Intruder, the unnamed module on the Trello, the work that HB has put into the AI RIO. I'm excitedly awaiting what I will assume will be an F-4J and possibly an S following the E, but I'll be buying everything HB puts out. Even if that includes an RF-4. I couldn't be more thrilled that it's HB doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may or may not have helped facilitate photos of Col Olds' helmet from the USAF museum, which were kindly provided by Hoglan83 on Instagram. Granted I think he was only flying the Cs and/or Ds, but with that being such an iconic AF Phantom legend (like Top Gun is with the Tomcat), I didn't drag my feet. 2 Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
