Vietnam Part II
« on: December 11, 2004, 09:35:27 PM »
Hitech,

 I love this WWII fighter action. How about thinking about a vietnam flight sim.
 Can you see taking off in a F-105D Thunderchief w/2 450 gal fuel tanks and 8 750lbs bombs take off in burner get to altitude and hit a tanker for fuel, fly into PAC 6 (N. vietnam) and take down the domair bridge over the red river. Fly huey guns ship for close air support or dropping in troops to take a base. Flying B-52 dropping tons of bombs.

 Shooting ILS approaches back into base, or flying TACANs to to the drop zone.

 Have PBRs in the river for boat fights
 Have KC-135 pilots flying the gas around
C-130s for resupply or dropping troops
Tanks everywhere
 CVs with cats launches and recovery
have SAM missle sights were you can lock on radar and shoot someone down

List of players:
F-105
F-4E
F-4J
F-100
F-111
A1E skyraiders
A1h
F-5
C-130
KC-135
KC-97
UH1 Hueys
Cobra gun ships
F-101 voodoos
A-4
A-7
A-6
F-8
A-5 Vigilanties
B-52
Mig -15s
Mig -19s
Mig-21s
Mig-25
Bear bombers
SAM missles
Bullpups missle
sidewinders
500lbs bombs
750lbs
1000lbs
2000lbs
10000 lbs

Theres more but you can get the point. We could also put the british to work.

I think people might like this.

To be honest, it sounds very interesting, but I think at this point in the game, HTC is a one trick horse.  WWII is their forte.

Maybe if HTC licensed their engines somebody else could do the development.  HTC has enough work now, just keeping this bunch of whiners less than completely dissatisfied.

I think that helicopter pilots of vietnam, more than the jet drivers, experienced warfare more similar to what wwII fighter pilots experienced.

Lots of glowing bullets flying around and they could see the individuals who were trying to kill them. Those pilots that lived have some great stories about how they cheated death. There is a great story in the book "War in the Air" about a LOACH shooting it out and getting shot up. I think the title of the story is "the last dogfighters". I think it was actually an excerpt from the book "Low Level Hell". Anybody read that ?

Point is, the majority of the air war in vietnam was waged by helicopters. Can't have have a vietnam flight sim without them.

Less of a trick, and more like its hard enough taking care of this ww2 buisness


Korea would be a better idea, where more of an actual air contest took place.
Vietnam would be mud moving, than ACM

Are you saying that helicopters destroyed more lives and military equipment?

I was disappointed when EA abandoned AW:Vietnam mostly because I wanted to play as a SAM operator.

 Helicopters were "THE" workhorse in Nam. Without them nothing moved......troops, weapons, fuel, machinery, vehicles, etc.
  Key word is "saved" more lives.

I remember seeing somewhere than online games + guided missiles = bad/lag/whines (not that we run out of the later in here...)

I'd play that too though.
