Royal Navy Wildcat V A simple repaint of Phil Crowther's FM2 Wildcat as JV 884, B1C of 882NAS HMS Searcher, in the Indian Ocean, 1945. Required file: ESCORT_CARRIER_GROUP.ZIP. This is an FSX native model of the General Motors FM2 (Wildcat V in RN parlence) that comes with an equally brilliant Casablanca class 'jeep' carrier. Easy to fly, rugged, hard hitting, fairly nimble and a docile deck landing aeroplane, the Wildcat in its developed FM2 form, stayed in production until 1945, and served in every theater until well after 1945. By Mike Barnes.
