What's wrong with this plane? You can find the answer on my blog. Or if you just want to see some fancy pictures, scroll a bit lower to some of the shots I took during campaign testing.

Nice pics (and intresting blog!)...

 

...but one little comment (to WOU:BC Update 1):

The german navy in not called "Kriegsmarine" (at least not since WWII...)!

The correct name would be "Marine" (Marine = navy, Krieg = war - so you can guess what "Kriegsmarine" means - i don't think our neighbours would be very pleased with it... ).

 

edit: 1955-1989 it was sometimes called "Bundesmarine" (informal)...

some comments to improve "realism" a bit

 

Only small details, nothing to really worry about but hell, why not?

 

If think that hornets equipped for CAS wouldn't be loaded with AIM-7...they would preferably load some nav/weapons aiming pods

 

Second very disturbing detail (for me as I was on base during that campaign period ;-) ); any air to air duty for a belgian F-16 would have been assigned to a 1 wing (349 or 350 sqn) block 10 bird

 

Kleine brogel's 10 Wing was only trained for mud moving missions back then.

 

And althoug it's not often the case, the 6 sidewinder config exists and does from time to time show...but in 1989, no AIM-9L for Belgium, only P and N

thanks for the feedback

 

That's exactly the kind of response I expect and need. I know something about aircraft, but I lack the day to day useage knowledge. With this kind of feedback I can edit the campaign to reflect reality as much as possible.

 

Any suggestion is more then welcome

Also the NAW A-10 was going to be used for Fast FAC and CAS. So its quite at home in the FAC role...

Als ik u kan helpen....

 

ik was luchtverkeersleiderin 1989, te Beauvechain, dus ik heb tamelijk goed kennis van eenheden van toen

Oh, the 349!

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

a badge proudly worn by pilots by then

 

the sister squadron was 350, with red as main colour

 

see how double meant the "no reds in belgian blue" was ;-)

Nice blog, KingAlbert! I see you also make Lomac movies. You should also consider making a movie from your WOE campaign. It takes some tweeking, but you can disable all screen info and messages to have a clean look, as you obviously already did for your screenshots.

o/ i think it was reffering to "VVS"

btw, i like you SpitFalcon scheme xD i got a photo of it somewhere here....

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

that's the big advantage

 

they put one "motto" having a double meaning
