capt_bob007 Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 People who are saying they are going to bring to DCS an A1H skyraider, the skyraider that’s aircraft shown is an AD1 This model was used in korea not Vietnam, the A1H had speed brakes on the sides behind the trailing edge of the aircraft, editors please do your research properly ie get your facts right.

AG-51_Razor Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 Captain Bob, I believe that it's you that needs to get his facts straight. The AD/A-1 had dive brakes on the sides as well as one on the belly and as for which ones served in Korea and which ones served in Vietnam, the later model AD's that the Navy put in storage after Korea were picked up by the Air Force and were the same airplane. They just got renamed courtesy of Sec Def R McNamara. Some of the versions had the dive brakes removed because of their changed mission such as ASW or AEW or Night Interdiction. It went from the AD-1 to the AD-7 with many changes in systems and equipment over time. This is from Wikipedia: AD-6 (A-1H) Single-seat attack aircraft with three dive brakes, centerline station stressed for 3,500 lb (1,600 kg) of ordnance, 30 in (760 mm) in diameter, combination 14 in (360 mm) and 30 in (760 mm) bomb ejector and low/high altitude bomb director; 713 built I doubt very seriously if you could distinguish an AD-4 that flew in Korea from an AD-6/A-1H that flew in Vietnam. 2 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
