On an unrelated topic, Rabbit aka (Patrick), I'm scheming up a RA-5C scenario using HCDB and would welcome any first-hand input you can provide on typical missions. So far the story is pretty generic, RA-5C has to scope out a target in preparation for a nice big B-52 strike, do some post-strike recon, and maybe even a bit of CSAR assistance. SA-2, Mig-21, F-4 to be present, and annoying AAA as well. If the scen pans out of course you will be credited in the orders file as it wouldn't be created without your desire for RA-5C to show up more in Harpoon. It will be a wacky scen for sure (first it is coming from me, second, HCDB loadouts aren't exactly Vietnam era centric).

The RA-5C is in the HCDB, I asked my questions above in the hopes of writing a scenario for HC that would be part of the WestPac battleset. My idea is RA-5C pre and post-strike recon for a B-52 raid.

Anyway, that's beside the point, the RA-5C has been in HCDB since Christmas Eve, and available at http://www.harpgamer...HARP_dbpage.php .

The RA-5C will then become part of the official HC release when HCE is released or shortly thereafter, accompanied by said scenario to memorialize the RA-5C for Patrick forever and ever. When you read the platform text in the game you see that it was added in recognition of Patrick's enduring participation in the Harpoon community.

So, it has been there, will be there, and all that jazz.

Post edited to get rid of a possible misunderstanding that any of us were somehow upset with Patrick, apologies if my words were taken the wrong way.
