OK OK, point taken. I won't post in any more jet threads. I think my opinion is widely known. I be quiet now.

I think it should be kitted out with two Mavericks (outer pylons)

<span id='postcolor'>

Did the A4 ever carry Mavericks???  I thought it only carried iron bombs, AA missles, and rockets?

...yep. The McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is compatable with AGM-65A Maverick ASM and all later versions.

Anyone else notice/care that at night in the Skyhawk, when the lights are turned on, they're below the aircraft and off to the side. Just thought I'd let someone know.

-=Die Alive=-

[drkhrt532 0]

hey all another drkhrt rant....

yes the A-4 did carry Mavericks, but that was only in the later years.....however it did carry other guided air to surface missles such as the old school "bullpup". But I'm trying to concentrate on the vietnam years...... the A-4 of the mid to late 1960's could carry up to 3,500 pounds of ordenance. In vietnam during the time of operation rolling thunder, the bombing of north vietnam, the Skyhawk would many times play the vital role of AAA and SAM suppression alongside the Corsair and Crusader. Much of the time it carried LAU and Zuni rockets and its twin Mk 12 20mm cannons. it also carried bombs as well, most of the time using Mk-82 500 pounders, the Mk-82 snake-eye high drag bomb were also popular..........hell im thinkin on doin a campaign myself using the skyhawk......its a very well made addon.....what i want, like most others, is an aircraft carrier, perhaps the USS Ranger?? but then again those things are monolithic to say the least and we still need a tailhook on the Skyhawk.......can you imagine trying to land one in this game on a carrier? its hard enough to land an A-10 on a runway, let alone a small fighter on the pitching deck of a carrier.......although i could FINALLY put my carrier deck crew addon to work perhaps ill use the skyhawk as a marine campaign and fly from an airfield. well thats it, hope you history buffs enjoyed

[The Jub-Jub Bird 1]

Thanks for that...I enjoyed it.

Ok...I was just a lttle peaved that a jet plane classified as a 'attack bomber' didn't actually have an ground attack capabilities.

The fairly large list of ordinace that I am reading out of a book on my desk right now is as follows (it is from the Gulf War [isreali A-4]):

AIM-9 (and all other versions) Sidewinder AAM

Rafael Shafrir 2 AAM (Isreali craft only)

LAU-10/A (Zuni series) rocket launcher 127mm (pods of three a piece)

AGM-6A Walleye TV-steered glide bomb

IAI Gabrial III/AS ASM (Isreal only)

AGM-65A Maverick ASM (aircraft compatable with all alter versions)

Mk 84 GP Bombs 2000lb (907kg)

Mk 82 GP Bombs 500lb (227kg)

Mk 83 GP Bombs 1000lb (454kg)

AGM-12 Bullpup comand-guidance ASM

Mk 82 Snakeye retards 500lb (227kg)

LAU-3/A rocket launcher 2.75" (69.85mm) (pods of 19 a piece)

So revised from my original statement...I would like for my camapaign a A-4 in US Navy colours (haven't decided on aircraft carrier yet) and to keep with the early date I think it should have two Mk 84 GP Bombs on the outer pylons, two LAU-3/A rocket pods on the inner pylons and a AGM-12 Bullpup on the middle pylon.

Shame the plane had just 5 pylons...bit limited when compared to todays ground attack craft.

[drkhrt532 0]

hey yall, drkhrt rant..............

The A-4 does have ground attack capeabilities...although not like the ground attack capeabilities of todays F-15E or F/A-18....the whole idea of the A-4 was to make a fast attack aircraft hence the "A" in A-4; "A" is the designate for "attack".

Like i mentoned, the A-4 was used alot for AAA and SAM suppression because of its high speed, (over 600 miles an hour, fast for an attack plane.) small size (about half the size of an F-4 Phantom) and heavy armament (twin 20mm cannons pluss rocket and bomb load out) as for ground attack capeabilities, when you consider the timeframe, it was quite advanced. it was designed in the 1950's and one had to use the old fashioned mark 1 mod 0 eyeball to spot the enemy on the ground........of course, it could carry some AIM-9 sidewinders for defence, but it mostly relied on its twin 20mm cannons......some of the pilots in vietnam called the A-4 the "last of the gunfighters" because of its emphasis on guns over missiles. But yes, the A-4 has attack capeabilities....it cant pick out a tank at night in the desert like an A-10 or F-15E (unless you cheat and use the Maverick's onboard camera:)) but given it has a good enough pilot, it can chew up almost anything on the ground or in the air.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback. The A4 is still very much in the development stage. As you guys report bugs it helps me look at areas that may have been overlooked (landing lights as an example: I've never flown at night in it -duh to me).

Some other issues are being worked on.. moving rudder, flaps etc. Yes the textures are a bit dodgy, but this was my first real attempt, and I hope as time goes by I improve. The cockpit is being developed, but getting decent interio shots of the side panels has been difficult.

Versions carrying M82s, and other ordinance are planeed, as is a tandem seater. When I started this model I had no idea there were so many variants to the A4. Our country had several of them, but all I ever notice was that they were noisy when they flew overhead.

What I am thinking about is creating a stores addon (with several types of missiles, rockets, bombs,drop tanks etc can be added to the aircraft), that can be accessed via scripting or depboing the addon. I'll work on that later, but it would be good if you could access a menu that would put the weapons you want onto the plane. If anybody wants to take on the challenge IM me on the site or at OFPEC.
