Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II is a flight simulation computer game and the sequel to A-10 Tank Killer, which was directed by Frank Evers (CEO). Both games were made by Dynamix and Sierra produced Silent Thunder. It was made for Amiga and DOS platforms. In the game, the player takes the role of an American A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft pilot who fights in various campaigns across the world in order to keep the peace.
The player character is Jack "Loudmouth" Haggart, a hotshot American pilot trying to make a name for himself in the U.S. Air Force. He starts off as a rookie pilot who steadily rises through the ranks with each military campaign he successfully completes. He takes orders from Commander Garrett, an unseen American officer who informs Haggart of his primary mission objectives. If Haggart completes a mission successfully, Garrett will praise Haggart for his efforts. However, if Haggart fails a mission, Garrett will lose his temper and either criticize or threaten Haggart. Battlefield intelligence is relayed to Haggart by an unnamed intelligence officer. Finally, there is Nightflight, another A-10 pilot who is a good friend of Haggart's. He plays a vital role in the first campaign of the game. There are few other Allied or enemy characters described in great detail throughout the game.
