B-52D "Pacer Plank"

B-52D Pacer Plank
This mod covers the last few years of the B-52Ds service. In 1976, the Pacer Plank upgrade was carried
out by the USAF to reskin the wings of approximately 60 B-52Ds. A further twenty were found to be in good
enough condition to continue service along side the upgraded BUFFs. In addition, the GBU-15 was tested on
several of the upgraded BUFFs, giving an early precision guided weapon capability. Finally, the D models 
retained the ability through the end of their careers to carry 4 nuclear weapons, although this was rarely
used.

            Included
BD_PP aircraft, decals for the 4 Wings that operated this variant, weapons, sounds and effects

            Installation
unzip, add to mod folder of choice. no overwrite should occur. requires SF2 Vietnam or Europe for B-52D model

            Notes
1. While tested, the D model never used the GBU-15 in combat. It was also tested with the short pylons, which are not 
available here. In light of this and the fact that the Hound Dog pylons are permanent, I set it up to work with those.
There is a value in plinking the Defenses from 10 miles out, then plastering a runway with 80+ bombs minutes moments later.
it is after all, a game. Have a little fun.
2. Water injection on takeoff is simulated by making an "afterburner" that operates from 98-100%. Try not to go above 96%
throttle after take off
