1CGS LukeFF Posted August 6 1CGS Posted August 6 Hey everyone! Today's video is all about the F-84 Thunderjet. Watch it here! 12 2
BlitzPig_EL Posted August 6 Posted August 6 (edited) I don't think I've ever seen a straight wing F 84 without tip tanks before. It almost looks like a different airplane. Edited August 6 by BlitzPig_EL 1
Avimimus Posted August 6 Posted August 6 It is nice to see how working on a simulation like this is actually helping to uncover history (as well as help remind people of it). It'll be interesting to have the different design philosophies (swept/unswept, side/nose intake etc. etc.) and rapid postwar development in the F-80/F-84/F-86 sequence... P.S. It'd be interesting to have similar comparisons with the Yak-17, La-15 etc. But I'm probably a little bit too interested in the engineering and test-flying (rather than what would actually be useful for the sim). So not a suggestion - just thinking they are all cool.
=MERCS=JenkemJunkie Posted August 6 Posted August 6 This plane gets some fun toys, looks like a good plane to get creative in.
Avimimus Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Also worth noting - I believe this means that all of the aircraft have been announced and external artwork has been shown. There is probably a lot of work coding features, damage models and flight models, cockpits to be finished, the map etc. But it is still a nice point to mark in development! 2 2
FeuerFliegen Posted August 7 Posted August 7 So is the F-84 coming out with initial release? Or is it going to come out later?
Avimimus Posted August 7 Posted August 7 3 hours ago, 354thFG_Leifr said: It's coming out on release. What evidence do you have of that? Has it been confirmed in one of the interviews? I'm sure it will be included as AI in the base pack, but we don't know what aircraft will be flyable, which will be DLC, and which will be Collector Planes - that hasn't been clarified yet (to my knowledge).
1CGS LukeFF Posted August 7 Author 1CGS Posted August 7 Yes, it's planned to have this plane in the initial release, as a flyable plane. 1 3 1

It was confirmed as a release aircraft several months back, pretty much as soon as the promotional DDs started up.

[CPT]Crunch Posted August 8 Posted August 8 Those trees look marvelous, the terrain keeps getting better and better, and the planes are looking fantastic in the world you guys sweat to code. Keep pressing, its looking good, and I was skeptical at the start. 1
