Vietnam

I wish I knew how to convert my historical and tactical studies of the past 2 decades into something that could be utilized by the community, but I only know very basic computer science, I have the utmost respect for all you artists and coders and thinkers involved with BMS, but all I can really help with is thought tools and organizational.
I’d love to see a Vietnam campaign, as it was a huge failure in USAF predictive understanding, the changes in doctrine and procurement literally, shaped my life 50 years later. From those hard lessons we get to sim f-15’s f-16s and f-18s, instead of 100,000 lb swept wing fighter, bomber, attacker, air superiority death traps, which would of ended in us speaking Russian, petrovia! -
you need a terrain first… ask C9

I did some research on doing a Vietnam Theatre and got stuck trying to get the terrain data into the right format. I was keen on trying to get the right airbases. One of the reasons I think it is hard is that the SEA war, the airbases were far south - I assume to stop any form of OCA strike. Look up where Ubon actually is and it gives you some idea. Often the F-4 would need to A-A refuel on the way there and on the way back. This is the reason by the original F4 campaign was North Korea - short distances to fly, and Flanker 1.5 etc was the Crimea theatre. Something would have to be different for the campaign to be playable I think. Possibly an ultra hard Viet Cong on the door step of Saigon or something.

I think the actual SEA map was scaled down a tad in In Strike fighters for this reason, still took a while on Time acceleration though.
You could park the USN 10 miles off the coast

That’s a good idea Migbuster,but we still have to fly those F-105’s …

You might have a long wait for that……was thinking the idea was 80s or later fiction.

when you talk about doing the airbases right, don’t forget the ghost bases in cambodia

Gentlemen, there is a 3D cockpit A-6E from Free Falcon 5.5. Can it be adapted for the BMS?

It’s Qawa pit. Need somebody covert it into working lod.
Btw vnam fans can try Nordic theater-1965 cam, fly f4 or mig21, The sim experience is close.
