VOTING POINT #2
For the 1962 Red Thunder campaign
The brief summary of options is provided in the supplied informational video. And the text below.



The winner will get a 5(ish)-episode season, while the losers will get one episode each.

You're choosing a plane to fight yet another Evil Soviet invasion!

Last minute addition to make things more interesting, not in the video!
USAF F-105D Thunderchief







+ Air-to-Air search radar
+ Air-to-Ground radar
+ Can (on a good day) go Mach 1 at ground level (well, not literally), where the air is the most dense. Not an easy feat for the F-100.
+ 2 Sidewinders
+ M61 Vulcan is a never-jamming Gatling cannon.

- Doesn't turn
- Doesn't brake
- 2 Sidewinders
- 2 Sidewinders
- Bombing by the seat of pants at Mach 1 is not for the faint of heart, and F-105 gets a lot of bombing assignments

Now you're choosing a plane to fight yet another Evil Soviet invasion!
Vote in BOLD: F-100D, Lightning F.1, Hunter FGA.9 or F-105D.

I'll leave it open for about 48 hours.

The Century Series are the favourites this time, especially the ones with larger numbers.

So, in order of increasing complexity the videos will go in the sequence of Hunter, F-100, Lightning and the F-105 campaign.
