Hummingbird Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Was wondering wether you great chaps at RAZBAM ever considered developing an F-8 Crusader module? Considering your experience with the A-7 as well as the decision to remake it for DCS, you are IMO the best candidates for making an F-8 module.

Home Fries Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Once you guys are done with the A-7, the F-8 should be a fairly short jump, though the variable incidence wing might prove challenging. It would be a day-1 for me though! -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foresee some not to friendly fire in your future. :doh: Not sure what I can do to you in a Huey but be sure it will be done with extreme prejudice.:joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has both guns and sidewinders :P. Incidentally, I had a friend who flew Crusaders in Vietnam and took out a train car with a Sidewinder, so there is A2G capability as well! :smartass: BTW, next time we fly together, remind me to fly on your wing so you can't bag me with miniguns. If I see your door gunner open up all bets are off, though!:D Edited March 3, 2016 by Home Fries -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAE5904 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The F-8E & - 8J models had an A2G capability, usually Zuni rockets were used as well as Mk80 bombs (82/83&84) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The F-8E & - 8J models had an A2G capability, usually Zuni rockets were used as well as Mk80 bombs (82/83&84) Some crusaders (F-8E atleast) could also carry the AGM-12 Bullpup. But id much rather have the Corsair for air-ground capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowler111 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think the main problem is the time involved in create one of these modules. So far we are about to finish the M2000 and then start coding a more complex aircraft like the AV-8B Night Attack.Sure, we do have an AT-27 which is fairly less complex than even an F-8, but it does takes time to make it right and then there is the Super tucano coming from that production line. So what I say is..let´s wait..if there is a slot in the production line already scheduled, it might get a chance in the mid term..at least from us, dunno if any of the other very capable teams might be interested in it.
