As Southernap says, the EA6A was very good against the North Vietnam AD. We would have 2 aircraft on station, pinpoint jamming individual SAM sites. From 1965 to 1973,one aircraft was lost while VMCJ (Cottonpicker, our callsign) was on station. The Airgroup CAG's would not go "Feetdry" untill we were on station. The USAF even had us escort B-52 raids occassionally. One EA6A was shot down during Vietnam War.I was there and knew the crew. We figure a Mig got them on the way back from up North. The SAM radars would track aircraft and talk to the Mig drivers. The Migs would turn on their radars just before shooting. By 1972 the North had learned their lessons pretty well.

Sorry I,m late replying to this. The EA6A was used only for stand-off jambing. It was to valuable and to few (only about 26 built) to risk in IronHand. The main IronHand aircraft was the A6B. It was loaded with assortment of hardware, missiles and rockets. It would fly around at low altitude, 10 to 20 thou., hoping to get shot at,so it could shoot back. I once flew escort to 4 A-7's going after a SAM site. Straight in, jammers pointed forward set on all freq's and bandwiths. One pass and the get the H--- out of there. I flew EA6A's LinebackerI and II

I love to design different campaigns for EAW, SFP1. I am working on Battle of Britain, my own version. Didn't know someone else was doing same. In EAW you could fly Allied or Axis aircraft in same campaign. I can't seem to be able to do both in SFP1. Is it possible or am I missing something? The issue seems to be in the alignment, friendly or enemy.If possible, I would really appreciate guidance.

HI,everyone i'm new to sfp1 and wov. I did a lot with EAW. Here's the problem. The Korean war era aircraft wont start on the carriers. One will ,The F2h2 Banshee. All of the others will spin a circle and drive off the flight deck. Any suggestions? I'm trying to make a carrier campaign for Korea. I'm running SFP1 with 3.1 installed. I did the carrier transfer like it said in SFP1 notes. I can get the carriers to EchoStation and DeltaStation(I made another carrier station). The aircraft work like their supposed to in desert sand. It seems like I'm missing something in Korea.

Being a Vietnam Vet and a former USMC Naval Aviator. I'm really sorry to here about the America and the O'Boat. I carrier qualled on the Oriskany at Pensecola (the Lex was in for Refit) .I refueled on the America on Yankee Station in between Alpha Strikes. I was flying EA-6A Intruders (the old 2-seaters). Our callsign was Cottenpicker if anyone is familiar with it.
