The F-101 is a unique aircraft, like others, and that’s the entire point of this suggestion—full stop. That said, the F-101A/C could still be added as a nuclear-capable aircraft in Ground RB, which at least adds some value. If you still think the F-101C and F-101B aren’t unique and add nothing, then there’s no point in continuing this discussion. Peace out. ✌️
That’s fair, I mean the Voodoos are absolutely unique and would bring something that doesn’t have any variant in the game right now.
I just felt the need to point out that “early supersonic gunfighter” is a bit misleading for the Canadian one, as pointed out, it kinda lacks the guns to be one.
On the contrary it actually makes perfect sense and is on topic.
If a vehicle is a waste of money, time, and manpower to add, then don’t add it.
I don’t even understand how you’re contesting this.
Lol, no. It’s just a nuke carrier. There’s half a dozen other aircraft that do exactly what the F-101 does, and better, that are already in the game/could be added.
Of those that could be added, they would have more uses than just nuke carrier.
Wow, it seems I missed quite a bit of discussion. Hmm, honestly, I really don’t see the logic that adding the F-101 in any variant is a waste of time. On the contrary, I would argue that it’s a perfect bit of filler. As for these other more capable aircraft, what is the harm of adding them as well? More content is always a good thing, especially in the TT. Also, on a more minor note, it would really be a shame not to have the entirety of the Century Series in the game (F-102 and F-106 when). Just my two cents, though
F5A is dog water all these copy and pastes ruin uniquness its like saying adding a sherman to every tree means its unique which its is not the only unique F5 is the american A model rest are just copys F101 will be a very interesting addition a higher performance f100 with Aim4 missiles would be peak +1
Buddy… do you think this suggestion is for GRB? This is a suggestion for the F-101C Voodoo for a normal TT vehicle. It is a fast, agile, well armed, all-gun fighter-bomber comparable to the MiG-19S. It would have the highest overall flight performance of a US 9.3, serving as the tree’s main dogfighter at the BR. It’s anything but “just a nuke carrier”
The Century Series is just kinda odd like that. They went F-100, F-101, F-102, skipped F-103 (reserved for XF-103 which never made it past the mockup stage, as Nostalgisitc mentioned), F-104, F-105, F-106, F-107 was the competitor to the F-105, XF-108 never made it past the mockup stage, and there was no F-109. The Phantom might’ve been considered a Century Series aircraft had it kept the designation of “F-110A Spectre” in US service, but it never did.
What’s even funnier is after the F-111, there were also the “F-112”, “F-113”, and a few other odd designations (like YF-118G), but all of those were used for either evaluated Soviet/Chinese aircraft, or Black Projects.
