Hey, thanks Champions (and of course Tracker and Pappy).

Just a tiny bit of extra info on the readme: the 15 P2V-7B's for the MLD initially had a solid nose containing 4 20mm guns with 200 rds per gun.

A Neptune actually shot down an Indonesian Dakota in the New Guinea conflict. There was also a fight with a very skilfully flown Indonesian B25 which escaped when the Neptunes guns jammed, and for the record, the Neptune was completely outrun by an Indonesian C130..... On the other side the Neptunes did very well in air to air training against the KLu Hunters at Biak, completely outturning the jets again and again, earning them the title "Nepfighter"

In air to surface actions a schooner was sunk with gun- and rocket fire, an MTB was damaged and close air support for Marines was given with rockets and 500 pound bombs as well as the guns. Long range night recce missions with penetrations as deep as 450 naut. miles into Indonesian were also flown .

Back in the Netherlands the Neptunes were reconfigured for antisubmarine duties.

 

Hou doe,

This allows the use of gun pods and an ECM pod.

Thanks for the Neptune M8.
