Hi All

I'm just curious as to who would buy Flanker Attack if you knew you could fly the A10 Hog.
I know you all are hardcore F4 fans, but I think it would be a shame not to support a dying genre that I know we all have a passion for.

So let the voting START!

You can already fly the A-10 in F4, in fact F4Alliance is about to come out with an A-10 mod.

That being said, I´ll buy Flanker Attack...

I will buy Flanker Attack regardless. Everyone who lokes FLight Sims should own the Flanker series. Even if they only play F4 99% of the time.

No doubt PS...even if the percentage is more like 76.34

Hey: sorry for not gettin` back to you...it seemed to me, that there was an official breakthrouh at the time I managed to...I didn`t feel like pushin` an(ahh so sensitive) issue...

But yeah...Flanker is an absolute gem...in SOME respects...

Flanker2 is great and I will definitely buy Flanker Attack when it comes out!

Back to CFS2 for the moment - so many sims, so little time

If it delivers on what it has described, I'm buying it. I'd love to move some mud in an A10 then switch to some air superiority from the "other" side in a SU27. It sounds quite appealing.

Cookie, you are kidding right? comparing the A10 in Flanker Attack with F4's A10? If SSI does the same great job as it did with the Su27/33, there will be no competitor when it comes to FM (at least).

Yes, I'm going to get Flanker Attack when it comes out, and Flanker 2.5. I love the Flanker series. But I'm more looking forward to flying the Su-39 than I am the A-10.

Bandit_22, I didn´t mean to imply that the A-10 we have now in F4 is actually better than what SSI will give us. What I meant is that you can already fly the A-10 right now, no need to wait for Flanker: Attack if you are a fan of the Warthog (and frankly, who isn´t?). F4Alliance did a pretty good job with their B-1B mod, so I assume the A-10 mod will be just as good, if not even better.
However, as good as it will be, SSI is of course probably able to do a better job modeling the A-10, after all they can build it from the ground up whereas F4Alliance can more or less only use what the code of F4 gives them.

The B1B mod was sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! I didn't know there was an A-10 mod, now I can't wait!

Back to topic, I will probably buy F Attack. That is if I can find it anywhere.

Same here, I think a lot of people are waiting for a realistically behaving Hog.

I will buy it. It will probably be as boring as Flanker 2.0, but I will buy it anyway, because I wish to support the industry.

Is the A10 as presently modelled in F4 not realistic? Other than the cockpit and afterburner sound at full throttle, I have found the FM fairly realistic. She's slow and sluggish and boring as *hit on long flights, just what I would expect from a real warthog.

Batboy,

since F4Alliance is working on an A-10 mod as we speak (which includes an improved flightmodel), my guess would be that the one in F4 is not as realistic as it could be. It´s just a guess though, I have never flown the A-10 myself.


Bandit_22,

no problem, I didn´t feel offended or anything.

I would gladly pick up Flanker Attack. The main reason I would buy it IS the Warthog!
