A great marketing approach. Develop the -1D first. Sell for $49.99. Then, 6 months later, offer a -4 upgrade for $29.99... :music_whistling:;)

Is the F4U-1 torpedo capable?

Don't know much about F4U-1, but I hope the one we're getting can launch torpedo's, it will be the 1:st in DCS!

Hope we'll see a -4 variant after the F4U-1D ...

That looked like the caucasus map in that picture. And just for a second, or two. I thought LNS may have posted a screen shot :joystick:

Anything US navy I will buy. I love WWII carrier ops, especially torpedo bombers. I hope one day we can relive battle of midway in DCS.

 

I agree, I bought a new computer to be able to fly the A-10C.

But since I found them I spend more time in the A-7 Corsair and George Bush Carrier mods.

 

Carrier Ops rock my world!

I hope you mean re-enact, but yes a pacific map and plane-set would be great.

I am super excited by the prospect of the Corsair and Tomcat, even started collecting Tomcat screenshots.

 

Looking forward to both. :thumbup::thumbup:(Just wanted to say my bit in the LNS forum.)

F14 by choice, F18 by mandate.

 

Peace the old fashioned way.

I really enjoyed reading that article! Thanks for posting. However, despite the minor confusion over canopies :doh: the author did make an error about the Corsair's first combat off of a carrier. He writes that, "FAA Corsairs performed their first combat action on 3 April 1944, with Number 1834 Squadron flying from the HMS VICTORIOUS to help provide cover for a strike on the German super-battleship TIRPITZ in a Norwegian fjord. This was apparently the first combat operation of the Corsair off of an aircraft carrier."

 

VF-17 participated in the Battle of the Solomon Sea on 1 November '43 where they provided CAP for the carriers Essex, Independence and Bunker Hill while their embarked air groups attacked Rabaul. In the course of that mission the entire VF-17 contingent recovered aboard the carrier (without incident) to rearm and refuel and then were launched again to intercept a large inbound raid of which they accounted for 18.5 kills. :pilotfly:
