Another EngineerOtaku creation reuploaded with spicy updates.
Premise:
After the recent departure of EngineerOtaku from the SimplePlanes community, I would try to reupload some of his creations with new updates, like cockpits and other modifications to honor him and his contributions to this community.
This is the definitive variant of the A-7 Corsair based on EngineerOtaku's A-7B Corsair (which was recently deleted) with new modifications to the design.
New Features Includes:
1. My very own AGM-62 Walleye IIs and AIM-9H Sidewinders.
2. A smoothened and improved nose section.
3. US Navy aircraft markings and roundels.
4. A hydraulic piston for raising the main cockpit view when the landing gears are down, which also folds up the catapult launch bar.
5. A Catapult connection bar for accurate carrier take-offs aboard USS Beast.
6. A new cockpit design (not as accurate as it seems).
7. Replaced the two Colt Mk.II 20mm Cannons with an M61 Vulcan 20mm Cannon on the left nose section.
