Which is actually realistic.

I agree 100% with akdavis. I think it is just about spot on.

The Catapult already has the ability to be set to different strengths.
Read the manual.

Though I fly through the valley of death, I will fear no evil.....
For I am the meanest SOB in the valley!

From After Action Report of Carrier Air Group 101 for 26 July - 24 August 1951.

Notice the minimum wind overlaps with the maximum speed of the carrier. That means if there is no wind, the carrier's ability to launch Panthers would be marginal.

I can barely wait for the Skyraider. This is one bad mother in the ground attack role. Tough, big and able to carry just about anything. It will be an awesome adition to Korea.
Bring on the AD!

Its a little known fact that the Skyraider also has 2 Mig-17 kills under its belt.

He're one account of a Mig kill http://www.skyraider.org/skyassn/sartap ... igkill.htm

Dogfights episode including the kill

My Dad flew the first ADs in an operational squadron, VF20A I think, and then F8F-2 Bearcats in VF-194 way back in 1947-48. He told me that, above 10,000 feet, the Bearcat couldn't hold a candle against the AD. :wink:
