Yes indeed,
i put this point to Tom Sandford when 'The Hunters' first released, think he said it's something to do with the speeds involved & the MIGs cant lock on, their going to put an AD-3 Skyraider up eventually, i've tried this in 'Hunters' with ed wilsons 'Hefty Betty' in missions & it's a totally different experience (get your'e ass wupped good style) & also Napalm is a loadout on a Skyraider.
If you get the carrier based campaign, it's a LOT tougher, the Panther's tricky to fly & the LSO is a waste of space, if they keep making the campaign's harder & harder , we'll be getting shot up on the way to Briefing
