Delta Dart


I even had a model of this very aircraft in 1/48 scale.


My new favorite air-to-air weapon: the AIR-2A Genie.  Unguided but the game does a good job of simulating the MA-1 fire control so it ends up where the bomber formation is.  Since the warhead is a 1.5 kton nuke, getting close is enough.

Edit to add:



The Six is just a wee bit bigger than the more famous delta-wing fighter, the Mirage III.

While Strike Fighters 2 is just a game, it's got some amazing simulations of reality.  The MG-3 and MA-1 fire control are modeled well and the Falcon fired from a deuce or six will hit more often than one fired from a Phantom.

Speaking of the deuce...


The F-102A for Strike Fighters 2 is a pay-ware item from a third party.  As such it's got some better features than the freebie F-106A...


Like hitting the "open bomb bay" button and the missile rails extend.

I have all of the major century series planes flyable in the game now; in several versions each in some cases.
