I know the wish list for aircraft is as long as the Earth is wide, but I'd like to throw the A-37 on the list (as well as the T-37 variant) for a few reasons - in no particular order:

  • Fairly simple aircraft! (It was designed as a trainer after all)
  • Fits nicely in the fixed-wing niche for Vietnam era COIN operations. (Won't mention the little hints at Vietnam map all over the place 😉..... oops)
  • COIN OPERATIONS! - We're getting there as a side effect of Afghanistan/Iraq releases and infantry overhaul
  • Armament options aplenty
  • Still has aerial refueling
  • Used post-Vietnam (even still today)

Are there other aircraft that would take priority in a Vietnam map? Sure.  In fact, OF COURSE!  But after an OV-10 for COIN/CAS, I'd love to see this unique little guy.  Thoughts?

The wishlist is a book called "Jane's All the World's Aircraft" 

The A-37 would be a great addition at least as AI. I'm not saying no to a flyable module I'm just saying it would be nice to add to the list of Vietnam era aircraft

Lol, you're not wrong about Jane's! (Also one of my favorite 90's "sims".)  I do think it would be an easy module here for player aircraft.  It's so simple from a systems perspective that even if you make it an AI aircraft, most of the hard work would already be done!
