Tirak Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Viper doesn't match any of the other clues we've gotten. The Corsair's been a favorite for a while, but got dropped because we knew 2 of the modules out of the 3 weren't it, and it seemed like a Zero or a Reisen would be more likely after the landing gear picture, though this will likely cast doubt on that now.

Caleb230CH Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 F-4 Phantom??? If Cobra has a black sheep on his avatar? A phantom is dark, and the goat is dark and black. The F-4 is named the phantom. ------------- ------------------- ----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAM!!!!:) F-4 phantom is a possibility! MiG-21's were like killing baby sheep compared to the Phantom. They're already working on getting shared cockpit for the F-14. Phantom has two people. ~C.

Viersbovsky Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Corsair? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baa_Baa_Black_Sheep_%28TV_series%29 After the corsair-ish cockpit in the teaser-image some time ago this settles it for me. Awesome bird, glad it is somewhat confirmed now! edit: Also, enter "black sheep" into Google, the avatar is one of the first pics to pop up. So, for all intents and purposes it is a "black sheep".

Aginor Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Well, Corsair (well known plane flown by VMA-214) is the obvious one of course. But maybe that's too easy. It could be a Skyhawk, Harrier, Panther, Wildcat, Banshee or Fury as well.

Tirak Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 But now here's the big question. If the 1st plane is the Tomcat, and the 2nd is the Viggen, and the third is the Corsair, then what the heck is the landing gear pic from, because a lot of people were thinking the zero. So does this mean that the Zero is one of the theater assets being made, and will be AI flyable only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedStick Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wait what?... Viggen?... If anybody is saying that there is the smallest chance that Leatherneck is making Viggen I might shit myself "Hard to imagine bigger engine. its got a beautiful face and an arse built like sputnik." - Pikey AKA The Poet, on 37 Viggen.

Tirak Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wait what?... Viggen?... If anybody is saying that there is the smallest chance that Leatherneck is making Viggen I might shit myself For a brief time Cobra's avatar was an obscure close up of a missile. Obscure unless you knew the picture, which was some Swedish anti shipping missile. His next avatar was a Swedish coat of arms. The missile was tested on the Lansen, and fielded on the Viggen, so most of us have pretty solidly locked the Viggen as "Project B". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fer_Fer Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If i had to bet now, I'd be inclined to bet on the Corsair II as the final aircraft, Both VF111 (which uses a variation of the IJN flag) and VFA 83 used the Corsair II at one point or another. The second reason is that it would make for a nice counter to the MiG 21Bis, which is in dire need for something that it can face on a roughly equal footing. Leaves you with the Landing gear, which is most likely a version of Japanese plane ( A6M, Ki 84, Ki 43, Ki 44, and various others), (Although the F4 Phantom, F16, F2 also utilize a gear not unlike it, as does the P38) however not one they plan on modelling for sale, but as AI aircraft to fly against. Given the relative performance of the Corsair against Japanese types, its the most likely they are going for a 44 scenario for their campaign, limiting the amount of engagements that would be challenging enough for a campaign and a map.

BlackLion213 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm still betting on VMF-214 with the F4U-1 in the Solomons, late 1943. The F4U Corsair cockpit was also on their "new year" banner and it was mentioned in their prior interview that their next release would be closely connected to their name - Leathernecks are Marine pilots. This makes sense to me with the available clues, but only LNS knows at the moment. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're confusing the Corsair and the Crusader. The A-7 Corsair is a ground attack aircraft, affectionately known as the SLUF, the F-8 Crusader is the "Last Gunfighter". As much as I think the Crusader is right up LNs alley, it matches none of the clues so far. Much more likely the F4U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toten Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 USMC Aviation is closely connected to three main fixed wing aircraft. The F-4U Corsair, The Phantom and the AV-8. I would be pleased as punch with any of those aircraft, but the Phantom IMHO makes the most sense as it is a rival to the Mig-21. Rotary wing wise the H-53 would be great fun, as well as the CH-46.
