Auto Credit Based on Kevinairlines's vietnam war Challenge! [read-description-and forum] closed
The RA-5C, based on the A-5 nuclear bomber, conducted much of the pre-bombing reconnaisance of the Vietnam War. Without the unsung Vigilante, such important operations as Rolling Thunder and Linebacker could not have happened.

@TexJohnston I don't really see the point in recreating the bomb-tube. It was dangerous as hell and the Navy never used it, even for practice. Anyway, youll get better with time, most of the really fancy stuff is just mods anyway. Finetuner and Overloader.
@F104Deathtrap Thanks! I dunno about this being more realistic in appearance, but the other one has bomb bay doors and wing hardpoints, neither of which existed on Vigilantes. So, mine just basically doesn't have any features that the real one didn't have. If I were better at SP, I'd have a detachable tailcone and a "bomb train" as on the real ones.
Don't sweat it Tex, this one is more realistic.
VIGI, HELL YEAH! Recon planes like this are so cool, and this one probably had the most dangerous job of all!
