Israeli Eagles Pt.1: No. 133 Double Tail Squadron
 
This skin is for Thirdwire's stock F-15A Baz and depicts all 23 aircraft of No. 133 Double Tail Squadron. These aircraft were delivered under Peace Fox I & II, together with two F-15B.
In May 1981, Moshe Melnik (the first pilot to score a kill in an F-15 and by then in charge of 133 sqn) ordered that all Baz be adorned with individual names on the left side of the forward fuselage.
 
INSTALLATION:
Extract the content of the archive and put the Objects folder into your SF2I mod folder.

Historical missions for SF2 Israel:
(Updated from WOI mission)
 
The Ace of Aces
 
First fighter squadron 101 Neshers vs. Egyptian Mig-21.
 
 
Colonel Giora Epstein is a retired colonel in the Israeli Air Force (IAF) believed to have shot down more jet aircraft than any other pilot. Epstein was credited with 17 kills, all against Egyptian aircraft. With seventeen confirmed kills, Giora Epstein remains the world's top scoring jet fighter pilot making him the "ace of all aces".
 
During Yom Kippur War, October 20, 1973; already a double Ace with 10 kills, Giora Epstein maneuvers his 101 Squadron Nesher after a decoy of 2 Mig-21 Egyptian aircrafts. On the deck are 16 Mig-21 Egyptian aircrafts waiting in a perfect ambush. After 3 of the Neshers returned to base, Epstein fought alone against 11 Migs. The results of the battle were: 4 Migs-21 downed by the Israeli Ace.
 
The full story of this battle is in the Giora Epstein Story.txt file.
 
 
To install:
 
Unrar
Copy the msm files into the mission folder of SF2 Israel.
 
You can play Giora Epstein's mission either in normal or hard difficulty. The hard mission is very challenging.
You can also play the 'crazy mig' pilot role. Remember if you are playing the Egyptian pilot, don’t engage the Neshers on sight, lure them into the waiting ambush first.
 
I invite everybody who plays the mission to post (in the announcements topic), how many Mig's kill you've got in normal/hard mission.
 
 
For suggestions or remarks just send me a massage.
 
 
 
Enjoy

This is both the MiG-27(MiG-23BM) and MiG-27D dedicated ground attack fighter/bomber variant cockpits for SFP1 series Lindr2's MiG-27 FloggerD and MiG-27D available below:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
 
It is based on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 fighter aircraft, but optimized for the air-to-ground role. Additional cockpit armor was installed, along with a totally new nav-attack system. The MiG-27 was first operational in 1973. However unlike the MiG-23, the MiG-27 did not see widespread use outside the Soviet Union, as most other countries opted for the MiG-23BN ground attack fighter. It would have been one of the leading WARSAW Pact elements of a NATO central front attack.
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
 
It has an extremely different gunsight (and no radar) and different panel compared to the Mig-23 fighter series.
 
This was the first MiG-27 version.
 
I had quite a hard time getting the plain MiG-27 working, so now both should work.
 
They both have different loadout capabilties and operational time frames from one another. They also have different equipment from one another as they were basically the same except that the MiG-27D was more optimized for nuclear strike and had more panels for that. The Mig-27D was also apparently kept on nuclear alert much like the US used the F-111.
 
 
Directions:
 
1) Download Lindr2's MiG-27 series at
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
 
2) Back it up just in case.
 
3) Just download the contents of both filefolders MiG-27 and MiG-27D intact into your aircraft folder.
 
4) When asked to overwrite say yes.
 
-Finished!
 
4) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's alternate advanced MiG-27 flight model/ECM (data.ini) which is in the NeilFlightModel folder called MiG-27_data.ini. Just pop it in and overwrite when asked...back it up as always.
 
The original flight model is also included in the Nele folder titled "original" in case you want to go back to the original flight model and data file.
 
I personally strongly recommend it for getting an accurate feel of the Mig-27 according to the published reports I have researched...but it is not for beginners.
 
Thanks to Lindr2 for all his sustained hard, dedicated and excellent work!
 
Thanks to Armourdave and Sal for the original cockpit. Thanks to Lindr2 and Epizikl for help with the cockpit research and photos.
 
Enjoy!

cut in pieces.
-The sea port & road tiles have been replaced by other ones,
more appropriate.

replaced the city textures because the straight lines looks like
more appropriate with the buildings.
