I wish!!! I think it just coincidental. All the 70s aircraft are Vietnam veterans

You would think that the tree modelling we have in 2.5 would work well for a jungle with some karsts.

I always thought the reason there hasn’t been a great ‘nam sim is that the graphics were too hard for home PCs but I think that excuse might be getting obsolete.

Obviously destructible jungle would be amazing…but even without it you could still do some wicked scenarios.

I’d buy the Bronco.

I have been following the OV-10 teases by RAZBAM with interest for a while now. I love the Bronco and would be extremely happy if this makes it into a proper module. And at the danger of sounding like an a**, this would be an aircraft where I do not have doubts about RAZBAM being able to pulling it off.

Oh and do you want to talk about firepower? OV-10 have been calling fire from these:

…and an OV-10 ca be employed onboard large deck amphibs…so they got that going for themselves…which is nice. :grin:

The cockpit strikes me as an A10 look-alike.

because it has that squared off dash.

I’d bet that the OV-10’s design as a COIN aircraft had some influences on the A-10.

This is not decreasing my hype… for something that doesn’t even really exist yet…

This is the aircraft equivalent of the ‘taking off glasses and shaking hair down from a bun’. :slight_smile: Is there anything a flat deck can’t make sexy! :heart:

In the mean time…

Aerosoft makes a pretty good OV-10 for FSX/P3D Haze Gray Studios has the US Navy modeled with AI ship traffic.

Put the two together, and you have a decent stand in to work an OV-10 from an Amphib until the DCS version is available.

Another plane that is a must add to the livery. :sunglasses:

Favourite Bronco camo, late 80s-early 90s Marines:

Note Sidewinder rails.

(a quick forum technical minutiae aside: if images appear as white squares, it’s because browsers like Chrome are now blocking things from non-SSL (http:) sources on SSL (https) pages. Because we pull a local copy of images (to stop image rot when image hosting sites inevitably go bust or paid) it fixes it here after a short time, as it makes a https copy.)

I read that the OV-10s in USMC service during ODS mounted a pair of AIM-9Ms early on, then took it down to just one as the jet guys needed them more.

Completely unrelated to the thread content, but that is so freakin’ awesome frog. :fist_right: :fist_left:

The Desert Storm camo isn’t as pretty, but is remarkable from a historical point of view.

Counter point: We’ve had a Mig 15 and a Saber for what, 3-4 years now? Still no Korea :frowning:
