The AS-TBR ASW/Anti-Ship Sea Enforcement carrier or land based dual prop/jet turbine aircraft project: A what-if project supposedly from the 50's/60's that could still even be flying today as reserve or small nation type use. based 'loosely' on a combination of ideas... original USN TBF base, with ideas from the USN Guardian prototypes, British Navy Gannet types, and French Navy Alize types.

in Alize skin guise:




features: powerful Twin prop turbo prop jet engine, with turbine sounds. retains two Browning .50 cal mg's for small ship straffing/torpedo/mine exploding, several modern bomb loads, depth charges with parachute rigs, ship killer homing missiles, ship killer homing torpedo, drop tanks for long range. Note missiles and torpedo have 'special' high explosive shaped charges for one shot one kill on most ships. aim, fire, forget. fully useable on carrier or land air strips. multiple skins included, USN, British, French. three person cockpits for naval duties. main canopy opens and closes. plane handles very good, takeoff/landing from carriers easy.

right, thanks for the correction but yeah i am aware of the difference so no real need to overpower me with infinite knowledge.... you see as it is we're working on both the Crusader "and" the Corsair and i was thinking of the one while typing the other. i guess that's never happened to some of you guys, but as a sixty plus year old guy it happens to me a lot these days.

also, since the prostate cancer surgery, i pee my pants quite frequently. distressing to say the least and a whole lot worse than saying one thing while meaning another.

it would be embarrasing to admit that... except... that i know that 'sooner' or 'later'... all you guys will be in the same boat as me. it's just a matter of ...time.

the 'real' A7 Corsair project... a WIP that should go pre-beta for general early testing in a 'few' days (barring unforseen problems, of course.) Mario's work just gets better and better as he goes along.



i'll forward info soon as it goes gold.

S!
