After testing Flakiten *beautiful* F-84 Thunderjet, and trying its immense fire-power, I couldn't resist myself, so I built a Campaign called "MUD MOVERS", set in the second half of 1952. (My first Korea War campaign!) For a short promo video, see this link:

You are a pilot in the 58 FBW, flying from the K-2 Air Base, later known as Taegu Air Base. The 58th provided close air support for United Nations ground forces and attacked enemy airfields and installations, they flew interdiction and close air support missions in as well as attacking special strategic targets such as military schools and port facilities.
The F-84 was no match for the MiG-15, but it was one h*ll of a ground attacker. So the Thunderjet became the US Air Force's primary strike aircraft during the Korean War, flying 86,408 missions and destroying 60% of all ground targets in the war (as well as eight MiG's). In this campaign all nine missions are ground attack missions. The Thunderjet can pack a variety of ground attack weapons, from bombs and MG's (of course) to different rockets and napalm. This baby can move mud! 8)
If anyone out there is interested in playtesting this campaign, just send me a PM! :)
