  1. @Wrench it's in the Operation Tainted Cigar mod. Not sure who originally made this skin. --- Required screenshot: Two F-105Bs* on approach to Patrick AFB. *dtmdragon's stand in F-105B is well suited for OTC.
  2. FANG Deuces over the Keys. Got a little too close to Cuba, had to evade an SA-2. "I'll show you for firing a missile at me you SOB!"
  3. Had a wake up call on my takeoff roll when the Nike batteries starting launching missiles!
  4. Time to make an Afghanistan install again!
  5. These little details on the ground objects are great! A coffee dispenser, who'd have thought?! I'm sure the platoon sergeants will be huddled around it. Plus it's cool to hear the insight and suggestions from daddyairplanes and EricJ. I was in the Army as well, but Aviation doesn't have any of these vehicles. And our field exercises were normally spent relaxing in a GP Medium eating whatever we brought along
  6. Now that raises another question, would the Thunderstick mods provide the Thud in SF2 any meaningful or noticeable change in capabilities over the stock aircraft or would it just be a visual change? I'm aware it'd require a new 3D model or fake pilot trickery to be accurate.
  7. I never really thought about the fact that the 105s would have been so worn out, and I was a maintainer ffs lol. It makes sense though. Well, even just doing strike or SEAD, whichever 105 I choose, will still be a challenge. Thanks.
  8. Oh yeah fully prepared to do a SEAD campaign. Follow up question, would the surviving single seaters have been used solely as strike aircraft or would they have have carried out other air to ground missions too?
  9. I'm thinking about adding the F-105 (D, F, or G) to the 1979 SF2E campaign since that'd make for a fun challenge. But I can't find any information on what the loadouts would have been during its time with the Guard/Reserves. Anyone here have any good information on that?
  10. I can hear my first sergeant yelling from here! It's a good thing there's no map with Ft. Riley on it!
  11. It looks like some had an M60 mounted on top during Vietnam, but there's less pictures of them armed in any following conflicts. Like EricJ said, they're not really a front line vehicle.
  12. The carrier groups with their escorts and support vessels and the extra aircraft flying around the map on naval search and early warning missions are what I'd like. Menrva's post sums up the issues pretty well. I forgot that naval campaign disables night missions. Rather irritating, really. Who doesn't want to hunt Backfires at night over the icy North Atlantic? Does make sense that it's a balancing act. So zero intelligence would effect the enemy's ground campaign as well? That's unfortunate. The enemy aircraft only being assigned air to air missions in a naval campaign might work for a border skirmish campaign. I could give that a try since it will still give me some of the results I'm looking for.
  13. Sorry if this has been asked before, but is it possible to have the eye candy of NavalCampaign=True without the enemy sending constant wave after wave of aircraft after the carrier group? Basically I want all the extras that come along with a naval campaign, without the actual naval campaign. Again, sorry if it's been asked before or if the answer to this is incredibly obvious. It's been a long time since I've looked at campaign files.

    NASCAR

    I'm a sportscar racing fan (IMSA, WEC, GT World Challenge, etc) but I'll always put on NASCAR when they go to a road course. Great chance for some IMSA drivers like Andy Lally to do well.
  15. This is terrifying! Bring on the challenge!
  16. @GKABS dude you're an absolute beast knocking out all these new ground objects! Keep up the great work! I split every pair of A2CUs I had climbing up and down the aircraft.
  17. Well that went smoothly. Drove up, signed my name, got stabbed, waited a few minutes and was free to go. My company has a pretty slick plan for the people who get the vaccine, so it’s looking like I’ll have a nice three day weekend.
  18. Getting stabbed with the pfizer vaccine on Thursday morning.
  19. What a pleasant surprise! Thank you so much! Can't wait to explore this terrain
  20. Looks good!
  21. A much needed aircraft for the early NATO Fighters campaigns! Great job!
  22. Florida. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/39863/high-performance-target-drone-washes-up-on-florida-beach
  23. Gotta be the Hun. Always felt slow and lumbering and you better hope you can bring those guns on target because AIM-9Bs suck. Redemption came towards the end of a CAS mission in NATO Fighters in WOE. Shooting down a MiG-19 in a turning fight in a clean F-100 felt great. I'll do ground attack in the F-100 all day but for the love of god keep me away from fighter sweep and intercepts. Also not so much of an aircraft's redemption story, but when I finally learned how to evade SA-2s and SA-6s without ECM or chaff. Sadly I still haven't figured out how to evade SA-8s. Apparently diving for the deck, dumping 20 chaff, ECM on, and a HARM headed for the launcher isn't enough to evade. Haven't survived a single Desert Storm campaign yet...
  24. I think I've experienced it on landing. That or I still suck at landing after 15 years with this game.
