Title: Plans for Squadron
Post by: cord on February 05, 2000, 10:30:00 PM

Does someone have plans to start a f4u squad based on the VMF-214. I'm hoping that HTC have plans to intoduce CVs. It is a pretty plane, but not one to fly without a wingman.
(ya can't see out the back!) :-)
Thanks,
cord

VF-17 has formed already and I think VF-24.  HT says carriers will be modeled "eventually", just no set date yet.  So, yes, carrier ops will be here.
As for the rear view... yah, Hog's always been a two flyer plane.  Solo all you'll do is hit silk early, or go R.I.P.   Used to fly with VF-17 in WB.  Great folks to learn tactics from, IMHO

(Off topic note to Cord, press up arrow, right arrow, then page up as far as each will go when looking behind you, then press f10 to save the view.  Suddenly you can see behind you to one side very well.  You can always move to the other side as well.
I really like the fact that we can change the views to whatever we like.)
