    One thing I never understood about the A-7 was why it had such a massive airbrake on the belly.

    Well, the shape and look are spot on, the performance isn’t ridiculous, though the RL A-7 could do a bit better than 360 knots at S.L. But the jet was said to be “she sure ain’t fast, but she sure is slow!” Turn is ok, I didn’t put it on the Dev Console to get the vertical G...one thing though, like most attack/bomber aircraft with a lower thrust to weight ratio and often bigger wings (vice pure air to air fighters), was that the jet scrubbed a LOT of speed in turns so that sustained turn rate isn’t fantastic. This one doesn’t decelerate in turns like the RL jet. What @Mustang51 is referring to is the A-7F, which was a lengthened A-7 with a much better engine, Mach 1.6 performance and greatly improved night/all weather interdiction capabilities. The USAF didn’t buy it, preferring to stick with the F-16 instead. The F version had an afterburner, the normal A-7 did NOT have AB, though the highly efficient non-afterburning turbofan (TF41) was a first for tactical aircraft. Something else I would suggest for next time is perhaps split the trim and flaps; for some reason the SP community thinks those two systems are interrelated and use the same control. A pilot can adjust the trim at any speed, while flaps are only extended below a certain speed, so moving the trim and having the flaps extend at 400 knots would be a disaster IRL!

    @Brields95 yup what I just said. The experimental strikefighter, of which there were only two, had an afterburner. It’s a bit far to say that the A-7 has an afterburner because of two experimental models hahaha

    @otayahiromo8211 @Mustang51 @WolfSpark The A-7F Strtikefighter II did infact have an afterburner.

    This is really great! It looks fantastic and flies very well too. Also @Brields95 I’m fairly certain the normal A-7 didn’t have one. I know the experimental strike fighter version did but only 2 were made

    I put bombs so that missiles can surely destroy the target. So the bombs don't work.
