Fight in various missions and game modes ranging from intense aerial dogfights to large scale ground assault in an alternate scorched earth setting.

Summary: Project Wingman is a flight action game that lets you take the seat of advanced fighter jets and become a true ace.

O2U, O4U, SBU, and F4U are all Vought planes named Corsair).

Otherwise, names were usually assigned by the manufacturer as a marketing tool, and often reused (eg.

Most WWII vehicles you can think of (Sherman tanks, Mustang fighters, etc.) didn't have official US nicknames until after WWII, by which point the practice had become standard. There's probably even more, for example the JASDF called the Sabre by the name 旭光 ('Kyokukō').Ĭommonwealth Aircraft Corporation name: CA-27įun fact, the biggest reason that most US aircraft and tanks even have names is because the British would import it, rename it under their system (where everything had a name), and eventually the names caught on because they're easier to remember. These variants aren't all exactly the same, but I tried to select the ones that were closest where possible. Let's look at an F-86 Sabre for comparison. Also don't forget internal company designations. Less so as time has gone on, but it happens. It doesn't happen with aircraft to my knowledge, but I'm pretty sure identical guns get different names with different armies. The C69 pistol, for example, was renamed the M30 for the German Army.įinal theory is that it's due to different naming conventions for different nations. Sorta like how several variants of the classic Cessna plane are around and are hardly different from each other but have different names.įinal theory is that it's due to different naming conventions for different nations. It can be assumed that these are similar craft made with more modern parts, so the name is changed to suit it. I'm pretty sure the Eurofighter Typhoon has conditions for using its name (Like how in AC7 they had to add 'The Eurofighter Typhoon is one of the world's leading combat aircraft' to the startup screen) so other nations don't keep the same policy as the DOD.Īdditionally, this game takes place a few hundred years after modern day. Potential licensing issues with any other aircraft they choose to add would make it weird.
