Anyone for another light attack... A-37???

All true but the T-2 has a tail hook. :thumbup:

Who said aircraft need to have tailhooks to be included in DCS? :P

:doh:

I'll trade you a vote for the HUN for support for the T-2 and a tail hook! :thumbup:

I kinda do. ( Take a look at Razbams T2 thread, and who left the last comment long ago)

Edit:

Or at least before the official T2 thread was removed.

Far higher interest in the A-29. I would rather see a OV-10 Bronco over the Super Tweet!

Yes, this is what I’d like to see, as well. You can insert paratroopers ;)

Hey! Call me fickle, but I'd trade the T-2 for an OV-10 Bronco any day!! :thumbup: Of course, it would have to come with a livery for the US Navy Black Ponies that served in Vietnam. And even without a tail hook, it demonstrated it's ability to operate off of a Forestall class carrier. :pilotfly:

Prowler, I've got access to a serviceable A37 if you need any motivation to do the tweetybird.

Oh fun, Pics or is that a bit too compromising to post publicly?

When it comes to Vietnam era light attack aircraft I'd prefer an OV-10 over the A-37 if that's feasible (someone over at hoggit claimed that it'd be hard to make a Bronco due to licensing issues or something along the lines of that). But it would be the first twin-turboprop and fixed-wing paratrooper platform in DCS, on top of that it would also be able to operate from our USS Tarawa and with it's superb cockpit visibility it'd be a great in VR.

With all that said I'd still buy the Tweet even though it's not my first choice for it's particular mission profile and era. ;)

Douglas A4-E Skyhawk: light attack plane, old school ground pounding, you cover Vietnam and Falklands scenarios, CV operations, air refuel, Top Gun stuff, etc.

If RAZBAM were to do any Skyhawk, the M would be the best one, they've already spent the time making the DMT.

Please the OV-10 bronco!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

If the Tucano ends up being a gold mine for them hopefully we'll see an OV-10 or T-37 :)

I have seen an A-37 four plane razzle dazzle back in the '70's that completely fascinated me. Timing was smack on with just one target area the focus of all those dumb bombs. Remember, 4 attackers:

First pass: look see.

Cuban eight for the turn around and pickle.

Twisty little egress while the opposite or side attack was just coming off their cuban eight.

Rinse, repeat.

I saw it at a local airshow (Barksdale) several times. But I can only imagine what that would have looked like in SEA (if it had ever been done like that back then with real ordnance instead of blowing up 55 gallon drums of JP-4.)

For me, it was the beginning of my love affair with flying. Wikipedia gives the aircraft height as a couple inches short of 9 feet. That was the tip of the vertical stab. Standing with two feet on the ground, I was looking DOWN to look IN! Oh, how I wanted one of my own!

To have one in DCS? Damn straight, dude! Not only yes, but hell yes! I'll take two, please.
