I am having such a good time with this mod that I wanted to say again Thank You to western and friends. Thank you for the good, the bad and the Ugly that the F-4 has to offer.
The Good.
Last night I was able to kill 3 out four Mig-17s over Vietnam when I ran a home made mission. Two were in rapid head on succession. The Aim7 can be your best friend.
The Bad.
Out of missiles the flight egressed to the boat where I chose to go in first. Landing resulted in a nice scatter of debris over the starboard side of the ship. The crew (Who I am beginning to resent) of blue, red and yellow shirts where relieved that they did not need to perform a burial at sea as there was nothing left of me and my poor RiO. Ok, off to bed, tomorrow is another day.
The Ugly.
After an hour and a half I managed to get on the boat (Oriskany) four times. Two of these were in succession. The crewmen laughed, pointed and made jokes. Someone on board made a sign that said "The Ensign Eliminator". That was not right.
Summarization:
In more than ten years of flight sims, this is one of the toughest Carrier Landing I have seen. It is harder than the FC3 Su-33. The F-4 is an amazing piece of work. Its Rude, Crude and Socially unacceptable. It Drinks your Beer and takes your Sister to the Drive in theater.
I realize this is a pilots plane. It needs to be flown with authority. Making the carrier traps will take practice and tons of patience.
Thank you for making it what it is. This is an awesome addition.
