As requested, the Polish MiG-21MF of 3 PLM based at Poznan Krzesiny decorated with this amazing swordfish to celebrate the unit's 45th Anniversary.
 
I originally did this FOUR years ago (time flies when you're having fun etc), and due to other committments I only had time to update the decals to current standards and sharpen the base Third Wire texture up a bit.
 
Just paste the Swordfish folder into the Objects/Aircraft/MiG-21MF folder,
 
and fly!
 
Enjoy!

This is my first mod. I have changed the F-5E to make the F-5F Kleiner Tiger (Little Tiger) and a modified skin with kill stars, insignas, squadron, and F-4F numbers.

HISTORY (From wikipedia.org)
 
 
Development
 
The Intruder was developed in response to a U.S. Navy specification for an all-weather carrier-based attack aircraft to serve as a replacement for the piston-powered, WWII-era A-1 Skyraider. Grumman was awarded the contract in 1957, and the resulting A2F-1 made its first flight on 19 April 1960. It was redesignated A-6A in the fall of 1962, and entered squadron service in February 1963.
 
The A-6 became the USN and USMC's principal medium attack aircraft from the mid-1960s through the 1990s. It served in combat in Vietnam and in later engagements in Lebanon and Libya. The Intruder saw further duty in the 1991 Gulf War, but it was phased out of service quickly in the mid-1990s. It was intended for replacement by the A-12 Avenger II, but following that troubled stealth aircraft's cancellation, the Intruder was left to soldier on for a few more years before retiring in favor of the F/A-18 Hornet.
 
The last Intruders were retired 19 December 1996. Some aircraft were used to form artificial reefs, but the majority are stored at AMARC against possible future need.
 
Although the Intruder could not match the F/A-18's speed or air-combat capability, the A-6's range and load-carrying ability are sorely missed.
 
 
Variants
 
A-6A
The initial version of the Intruder was built around the complex and advanced DIANE (Digital Integrated Attack/Navigation Equipment), intended to provide a high degree of bombing accuracy even at night and in poor weather. DIANE consisted of multiple radar systems: the Norden AN/APQ-92 search radar and a separate AN/APQ-112 for tracking, AN/APN-141 radar altimeter, and AN/APN-153 Doppler to provide position updates to the AN/ASN-31 inertial navigation system. An air-data computer and ballistics computer integrated the radar information for the bombardier/navigator (BN) in the right-hand seat. TACAN and ADF were also provided for navigational use. When it worked, DIANE was perhaps the most capable nav/attack system of its era, giving the Intruder the ability to fly and fight in even very poor conditions (particularly important over Vietnam and Thailand during the Vietnam War). It suffered numerous teething problems, though, and it was several years before its reliability was established.
 
Total A-6A production was 488, including six pre-production prototypes. Many of the surviving aircraft were converted to other variants.
 
A-6B
To provide Navy squadrons with a SEAD aircraft to attack enemy air defense and SAM systems--a mission dubbed "Iron Hand" in Navy parlance--19 A-6As were converted to A-6B standard from 1967 to 1970. The A-6B had many of its standard attack systems removed in favor of special equipment to detect and track enemy radar sights and to guide AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-78 Standard anti-radiation missiles. Five were lost in combat, and the rest were later converted to A-6E standard in the late 1970s.
 
A-6C
12 A-6As were converted in 1970 to A-6C standard for night attack missions against the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Vietnam. They were fitted with a TRIM (Trails/Roads Interdiction Multi-sensor) pod in the fuselage for FLIR and low-light TV cameras, as well as a "Black Crow" engine ignition detection system. One of these aircraft was lost in combat, the others were later converted to A-6E standard after the war.
 
KA-6D
In the early 1970s some 78 A-6As and 12 A-6Es were converted for use as tanker aircraft, providing aerial refueling support to other strike aircraft. The DIANE system was removed and an internal refueling system was added, sometimes supplemented by a D-704 refueling pod on the centerline pylon. The KA-6D theoretically could be used in the day/visual bombing role, but it apparently never was, with the standard load-out being four fuel tanks. A few KA-6Ds went to sea with each Intruder squadron, and the retirement of the aircraft left a gap in USN and USMC refueling tanker capability that was only later remedied by the new F/A-18E Super Hornet, which can act as a tanker.
 
A-6E
The definitive attack version of the Intruder, introduced in 1970, with its first deployment 9 December 1971, with vastly upgraded nav/attack systems. The original search and track radars of the A-6A were replaced by a single AN/APQ-148 multi-mode radar, and the onboard computers with a more sophisticated (and generally more reliable) solid-state electronic system. A new AN/ASN-92 inertial navigation system was added, along with the CAINS (Carrier Aircraft Intertial Navigation System), for greater navigation accuracy. Beginning in 1979 all A-6Es were fitted with the AN/AAS-33 TRAM (Target Recognition and Attack, Multi-Sensor system, a small, gyroscopically stabilized turret under the nose containing FLIR boresighted with a laser spot-tracker/designator. TRAM was matched with a new AN/APQ-156 radar. The BN could use both TRAM imagery and radar data for extremely accurate attacks, or use the TRAM sensors alone to attack without using the Intruder's radar (which might warn the target). TRAM also allowed the Intruder to autonomously designate and drop laser-guided bombs.
 
In the early 1990s some surviving A-6Es were upgraded under SWIP (Systems/Weapons Improvement Program) to enable them to use the latest precision-guided munitions, including AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-84E SLAM, and the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missile. SWIP aircraft also received a GPS receiver and new INS and TACAN systems. After a series of wing-fatigue problems, about 85% of the fleet was fitted with new graphite/epoxy/titanium/aluminum composite wings.
 
A-6E models totaled 445 aircraft, about 240 of which were converted from earlier A-6A/B/C models.
 
 
A-6F and A-6G
 
An advanced A-6F Intruder II was proposed in the mid-1980s that would have replaced the Intruder's elderly Pratt & Whitney J52 turbojets with non-afterburning versions of the General Electric F404 turbofan used in the F/A-18 Hornet, providing substantial improvements in both power and fuel economy. The A-6F would have had totally new avionics, including a Norden AN/APQ-173 synthetic aperture radar and multi-function cockpit displays--the APQ-173 would have given the Intruder air-to-air capacity with provision for the AIM-120 AMRAAM. Two additional wing pylons were added, for a total of seven stations.
 
Although five development aircraft were built, the Navy ultimately chose not to authorize the A-6F, preferring concentrate on the A-12 Avenger II. This left the service in a quandry when the A-12 was cancelled in 1991.
 
Grumman proposed a cheaper alternative in the A-6G, which had most of the A-6F's advanced electronics, but retained the existing engines. This, too, was cancelled.
 
 
Electronic Warfare Versions
 
An electronic warfare/ECM version of the Intruder was developed early in the aircraft's life for the USMC, which needed a new ECM platform to replace its elderly F3D-2Q Skyknights. An EW version of the Intruder, initially designated A2F-1Q and subsequently redesignated EA-6A, first flew on 26 April 1963. It had a Bunker-Ramo AN/ALQ-86 ECM suite, with most electronics contained on the walnut-shaped pod atop the vertical fin. They were theoretically capable of firing the AGM-45 Shrike anti-radiation missile, although they were apparently not used in that role.
 
Only 28 EA-6As were built (two prototypes, 15 new-build, and 11 conversions from A-6As), serving with Marine Corps squadrons in Vietnam. It was phased out of front-line service in the mid-1970s, remaining in use in reserve units with the USMC and then the US Navy primarily for training purposes. The last had been retired completely by 1993.
 
A much more highly specialized derivative of the Intruder was the EA-6B Prowler, a 'stretched' airframe with two additional systems operators, and more comprehensive systems for the electronic warfare and SEAD roles. 170 were produced. The Prowler remains in service (see separate entry for more information).
 
 
Combat Experience
 
A-6 Intruders first saw action during the Vietnam War, where the craft were used extensively against targets in Vietnam. The aircraft's long range and heavy payload coupled with its ability to fly in all weather made it invaluable during the war. However, its effectiveness in flying low and delivering its payload made it especially vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire and in the eight years the Intruder was used, the U.S. Navy and Marines lost 68 of the aircraft in combat.
 
Intruders saw action in strikes against the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon in 1983. One Intruder and one A-7 Corsair were lost during the Lebr. The BN could use both TRAM imagery and radar data for extremely accurate attacks, or use the TRAM sensors alone to attack without using the Intruder's radar (which might warn the target). TRAM also allowed the Intruder to autonomously designate and drop laser-guided bombs.
 
Intruders also saw action operating from the aircraft carriers America CV-66 and Coral Sea CV-41 during Operation "El Dorado Canyon"in April of 1986. The squadrons involved were VA-34 "Blue Blasters" from CV-66 USS America and VA-55 "Warhorses" from the CV-41 USS Coral Sea.
 
In the early 1990s some surviving A-6Es were upgraded under SWIP (Systems/Weapons Improvement Program) to enable them to use the latest precision-guided munitions, including AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-84E SLAM, and the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missile. SWIP aircraft also received a GPS receiver and new INS and TACAN systems. After a series of wing-fatigue problems, about 85% of the fleet was fitted with new graphite/epoxy/titanium/aluminum composite wings.
 
A-6E models totaled 445 aircraft, about 240 of which were converted from earlier A-6A/B/C models.

Chengdu J-7IIH
The Chengdu Jian-7 (J-7, or F-7 in its export form) interceptor fighter aircraft is the Chinese copy of the Soviet/Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F-13 (NATO codename: Fishbed-C). The formal production model is the J-7B. A total of over 800 J-7s of various models have been built, with more than 500 operational with the PLA Air Force (PLAAF) and PLA Naval Air Force (PLANAF). Early variants of the J-7 have been gradually replaced by the upgraded models such as J-7E/F.
The J-7IIH is an improved version of the J-7II with enhanced ground attack ability. This version is fitted with utility pylons that can carry both AAMs and free-fall bombs.
PROGRAMME:
China and the Soviet Union agreed on the technology transfer of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F-13 Fishbed-C fighter aircraft and its R-11F-300 turbojet engine in 1961. Along with the technical documents, several MiG-21F-13 fighters were also handed to the Chinese. Reverse engineering of the MiG-21 began in 1962, originally undertaken by Shenyang Aircraft Factory (now Shenyang Aircraft Industry Corporation, SAC), and later by Chengdu Aircraft Factory (now Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation, CAC). The Chinese-built MiG-21 took flight on 17 January 1966 and later received its official designation J-7.
The J-7 project, together with its technical staffs and manufacturing equipment were relocated to the newly established Chengdu Aircraft Factory located in the suburb of Chengdu city, Sichuan Province in 1965. The initial variant J-7 didn't enter production with only 12 prototype aircraft built for various tests. The first production variant J-7I (F-7A in its export name) with some minor modifications made its first flight in June 1976. This variant was built in limited numbers at Chengdu, but the production was soon suspended due to quality problems.
To meet renewed PLAAF's demands for modern fighter aircraft to replace the aging J-5 and J-6 fleets, the J-7 production line was re-opened in the early 1980s to build the improved J-7B (originally known as J-7II) introduced in 1978. Added with features from MiG-21PF Fishbed-E and MiG-21PFMA Fishbed-J, the J-7B features a redesigned rear-hinged cockpit canopy, a modified Wopen-7B (WP-7B) turbojet engine, and improved avionics. The J-7B and its later derivations were built in mass numbers for both domestic use and foreign customers between 1980s and 1990s. The production lasted until the mid-1990s when it was replaced by the more capable J-7E.
The role of the J-7 is to provide local air defence and tactical air superiority. Large numbers are to be employed to deter enemy air operations. In some cases the fighter can also serve as ground-attacker. Through steady upgrades with more power and avionics/weapon suites, the fighter can fulfil the basic requirements for short-range, daylight air defence missions. Later variants of the J-7 were also upgraded with Western avionics technology to improve their all-weather combat ability.
 
DESIGN:
The J-7 is single-seat, single-engine with mid-mounted delta wings and small square tips. The aircraft has a round air inlet in the nose and a single exhaust. The fuselage is a long, tubular body with a blunt nose and bubble canopy. A belly fin is located under the rear section. The tail fin is swept-back and tapered with a square tip. The flats are mid-mounted on the body, swept-back, and tapered with square tips.
The prototype J-7/A is the copy of the MiG-21F-13 Fishbed-C, while the J-7B has been added with features from MiG-21PF Fishbed-E and MiG-21PFMA Fishbed-J. Greater performance is secured by the use of a Wopen-7B turbojet providing more thrust, with the aid of a fully translating rather than three-position inlet centre-body used by the MiG-21, and by provision of a larger centreline drop tank.
Early variants J-7/A has a front-hinged cockpit canopy, while the J-7B and its successors use a back-hinged canopy to fit the indigenous rocket ejector seat. Early variants have a typical 1950s/60s-era cockpit with many mechanical instruments, making it difficult to fly and combat simultaneously. The cockpit of later variants has a user-friendlier layout, but still lacks features such as multi-function display (MFD) commonly seen on all modern combat aircraft.
WEAPONS:
The prototype J-7 was fitted with one 30 mm cannon. Later variants all have two 30mm Type 30-1 cannons with 60 rounds per gun in the lower sides of the fuselage.
Centre wing station is pumped to carry one 720-litre drop tank. Inboard wing stations can carry up to 1,000 kg of disposable stores (each unit rated at 500kg), typical weapons are PL-2, PL-2A, PL-5B and PL-7 short-range AAMs, free-fall weapons such as 500, 250, 100 and 50 kg bombs, and multiple launchers each carrying eighteen 55 mm or seven 90 mm unguided rockets. Outboard wing stations can carry bombs, multiple rocket launchers, or two 720-litre drop tanks.
AVIONICS:
Avionics configuration varies on different variants.
Fire-control: SM-3A optical sight (J-7); AFS-3A lead-computing sight with Type 222 ranging radar input (J-7II); GEC-Marconi Type 956 HUD, and weapon-aiming computer system with input from the GEC-Marconi Type 226 'Skyranger' ranging radar (F-7M/P); or Italian Grifo-7 fire-control radar (F-7PG).
Flight: WL-7 radio compass; 0101 HR A2 altitude radio altimeter; LTC-2 horizon gyro; XS-6 marker beacon receiver; VOR; Distance Measure Equipment (DME); Instrument Landing System (ILS).
Self-defence: Southwest China Research Institute of Electronic Equipment KG-8602 RWR interfaced with the South-West China Research Institute of Electronic Equipment KG-8605 internal radar noise jammer and China National Import and Export Corporation GT-1 chaff/flare dispenser, and Type 602 'Odd Rods' IFF.
 
 
POWERPLANT:
Most of the later variants of the J-7 are powered by a Liyang (LMC) Wopen-7B series (MNPK 'Soyuz' [Tumanskii] R-11-F300) turbojet, rated at 9,700 lb st (43.15kN) dry and 13,450 lb st (58kN) with afterburning.

Installation Guide
J-7IIH Beta
This is an unfinished beta. Install at your own risk. If it somehow screws up your computer, I will not be held accountable, but you may hurl abuse at me if you wish.
 
Unzip contents (making sure ?use folder names? is selected) to your Strike Fighters Objects\Aircraft\ directory. It will create a new folder called ?J-7H?.
 
E.g.: C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft\J-7H
 
Do not edit folder names or the .ini files (unless you are editing it deliberately).
 
To add any new skins that you have downloaded, do as follows:
 
Open the J-7H.ini and add this to the end
 
[TextureSetXXX]
Directory=
Name=
Nation=
Specular=1.00
Glossiness=1.00
Reflection=1.00
DecalMipMapLevels=3
 
 
XXX should be replaced with the numbers AFTER the previous entry.
Directory= the name of the folder should be the folder name of the skin file (if prepackaged, otherwise create a new folder and call it what you like-no spaces though, AFAIK-and enter its name into the line)
Name= the skins name (whatever you like so you know which one it is when choosing in game)
Nation= the planes main nation.
 
That should be it!
 
Many thanks to Howling1 (who?s original F-7 Iraqi plane I based this on), madcaddie and other members of the SF:P1 community-sorry if I?ve missed anyone!

A-7B Corsair II for Strike Fighters: Project One. Complete with custom cockpit, drop tanks, and pilot's manual. By Armourdave, column5, Sal and Rafael.

Streakeagle's F-4E Thunderbirds Addon V3.0
with skins, decals, fuel tanks, formations, and pilot photos for aircraft from 1969 to 1973.

The MiG-21PFM was an updated version of the MiG-21F intended for export. This package is an upgrade for the PFM included in SFP1 as a stock, AI aircraft. It makes the PFM flyable, adds a high-res skin by Volksjager and a number of INI tweaks and other additions. The 3D model and base flight model are by ThirdWire as included in SFP1.

The A-7E was the ultimate version of the Corsair II, serving from 1969 to 1992. It incorporated the Allison TF41 turbofan and advanced HUD from the A-7D and equipped 30+ US Navy squadrons.

The USAF purchased an upgraded version of the A-7 to replace its A-1 Skyraiders in the close support and CSAR roles. The A-7D was the first operational combat aircraft to include a HUD, and also featured a more powerful TF-41 turbofan engine and M61 Vulcan cannon.

Beginning in 1969, 100 A-4Cs were upgraded to A-4Ls by retrofitting them with improved avionics first deployed in the A-4F. These aircraft served mainly with Navy and Marine Corps reserve squadrons.

This modification of the stock A-4E represents the first aggressor aircraft used by Top Gun. Essentially a stripped down A-4E with a high performance J52-P-408 engine, the "Super Echo", as it was called, was an extremely capable ACM aircraft.

Crab_02 has modeled an add-on avionics hump and new drop tanks to represent the numerous A-4Es retrofitted with the A-4F's upgraded avionics. These aircraft were flown by Navy and Marine squadrons from the mid-1960s.
