Silent Thunder: A-10 Tank Killer II

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.

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or killer:

    Here stopped the good old sire, and wept for joy
    In silent raptures of the hopeful boy.
    All arguments, but most his plays, persuade
    That for anointed dullness he was made.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    I see the killer in him
    and he turns on an oven,
    an oven, an oven, an oven
    and on a pie plate he sticks
    in my Yellow Star....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
