Big respect for Nam mud movers

Ok These are just a few things I have noticed after flying a few missions in WoV; First you MUST have Balls 'O steel! I mean just lookin at the ground radar screen as you approach the target area is amazing! Second; after surviving the first mission or two you realize that it is just a matter of time before a SAM with your name on it finds you! I am truly amazed at the courage the real pilots showed flying these missions! I just finished flying the A-4 in the Haiphong harbor mission in '67 and OMFG! ther were SAM's EVERY where, and if you got too low the AAA is staggering! I'm also one that has made more than one pass on a target in WoE, but that crap does'nt work too well in WoV! One pass, haul ass baby! When you really think about the real guys who have flown these missions; A4 and thud drivers especially, One has to wonder could I have done that?

 

Viper6 out!

Amen brother.

They had some serious balls to do what they did!

Fully agree - I remember calling in a 'sick day' when another raid to Downtown was scheduled in a WoV campaign flying a A-4 ... The Thud at least has all the acceleration and speed you need to get you out of the mess once you've dropped.

Yup, even at home in a comfy chair it can get scary...RL I must admit I think I would sh1t my pants before every mission...

Some of them probably did it (even it was not on every mission) .......and it's totally understandable.
