Title: F7F Tigercat
Post by: UncleKurt on September 12, 2008, 08:24:42 AM

 :cry
How about a new plane in the works?
Sure would like to see the F7f Tigercat as a new ride.
This was Grumman's racey test bed that actually saw service in the Pacific in 1945 and Korea. Multiple versions were produced but basically it was the first tricycle gear twin fighter the Navy acquired. Sure would like to wing one up.

Never saw combat in WWII. Sorry Uncl, but its a requirement for a plane to be added to AH.

Yep, the Marines got them too late.

And "saw service in Korea" doesn't translate well into a WW2 flight sim.   :uhoh

111

111

111

And it is easy to spell!

I bet HTC is going to surprise us with the 111 when the T34/85 update occurs.  Rumor has it that testers who have been sworn to secrecy are flying it.

HTC has never hidden information on aircraft included in the next update. That rumor is gossip.

A-26 also has a nice ring to it.... :pray

Sorry for the continued hijacking.

Please consider the plane-set. Americans have the majority of bomber aircraft on the plane-set. The Germans only have one. Now, why should we add yet another attack/bomber aircraft to the already superior American plane-set?

It's time for change! ;)

Well,
Then the archives have recieved an official thumbs down from the boards? Tough, Still like the plane, didn'task for votes, but thanks. Documentation has the Tigercat credited with arrival at Okinawa on August 14th, 1945. Squadron VMF(N)-531 flew Tigercats on security patrols until Sept. 2nd. Too bad they didn't get tested. For the record, I'd like to see the German 200 Condor tget some credit.... <S> unclkurt

So is HITECK interested in a Korean Theater????
