Despite it's design for close-in dogfighting with guns, the F-8 Crusader shot down 14 Migs with AIM-9 Sidewinders before 1972. The Mach 2 Crusader was far more maneuverable than the F-4 Phantom during this period. DET=1 and DET=2 release missiles; these are short range only. The model exceeds 1,600 mph, well, that's SP. Have fun and test!
