Why do you think F-105 would be impossible???

I stated the main reason would be the avionics.

A lot of data on the Thud as well as the F-84 has been destroyed. When Fairchild bought Republic they just shredded everything. So a lot of data has to be reconstructed. The Thud had a radar bombing suite, which wasn't accurate enough for conventional weapons so it wasn't used much. So even if someone can recreate the flight data, the only documents I know exist are the flight manual and some tech orders. So we might not have enough to do it in DCS.

The Hog (F-84) on the other hand was designed at the end of World War II, and I believe Kartveli actually started the design process with a jet powered jug.

Due to a host of reason, the jet jug wasn't feasable and quickly transformed into the F-84. I know there would need to be a new flight model but I don't know how different the weapons systems were from the Jug and F-86. Also the Hog was widely exported  so there might be some documents sitting in some foreign archives.

Do you think that's what inspired Saab to make the Saab 29 Tunnan, (barrel)? 🤔 😉 

I want it!

The F-84 Thunderstreak could be possible with the right documentation and research that ED did for the P-47D Thunderbolt.Plus it's only combat use was with the French Air Force during the Suez Canal Crisis of 1956 which is great for the upcoming Sinai Map.

I would love to have both the Thunderjet and thunderstreak
