General information

Introduced in Update 1.49 "Weapons of Victory", the AD-2 Skyraider is one of the most iconic propeller-driven ground attack aircraft of the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Likewise, its armament certainly lives up to that reputation. Even early on, the 12 HVARs you have can be devastating when used against light pillboxes and medium tanks, quickly turning a tidy profit with a total of eight possible launches. Generally, your job is to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy tickets, through pillboxes, ships, and tanks. The AD-2 Skyraider has a perfect combination of flight performance and payload. It has decent performance and guns, and can carry a massive payload of well over 4,000 lb of equipment, including rockets, bombs, and torpedoes. The Skyraider has a far-forward cockpit, improving visibility, and an airbrake capable enough of dealing with steep dives for maximum time on target.
