A-7E Corsair II
- Medium Attacker -

Origin: (Real World)
United States of America

Games Featured In:
Ace Combat 2

Operators:
Usean Rebel Air Force

Armament:
Gun / 1 x 20mm M61A1 Vulcan Cannon
Standard Missiles / AIM-9 Sidewinder

Overview:
The single-seat, single-engine, subsonic A-7 Corsair II was a carrier aircraft in service with the United States Navy. Submitted in 1964 and in combat service by 1967, the A-7 performed admirably against targets in Vietnam. The attack aircraft, based heavily off of the successful F-8 Crusader, could muster out maximum speeds of Mach 0.94. It was superbly maneuverable, though a small thrust-to-weight ratio from its then non-afterburning TF30-P-6 engine, developed for the F-111, did not give it the ability to outperform its fighter counterparts. Strikes on Libya in 1986 would be made by upgraded A-7D/E Corsair II's, escorted by F/A-18 and F-14 aircraft during deep penetration missions. The final incarnation of the A-7E saw service during the 1991 Gulf War, where it was outfitted with sophisticated digital avionics and advanced guided munitions to wreak havoc with Iraqi troop positions. During the war, it has been noted that no A-7 had missed a sortie, and the aircraft maintained an incredible 95% operational capability rate.

The A-7, with it's shorter fuselage and high stature, was dubbed "Short Little Ugly F**ker (SLUF)" by pilots who flew it.

Edited. Yep, some USAF aircraft have a few memorable nick names, the B-52 for instance is often nicknamed by it's crews as the BUFF or (Big Ugly Fat F**ker).

For some it takes several minutes for it to load then shrink. It really kills the connection.

It still takes a while to load and it's not like we need them that size.
