Fictional Royal New Zealand Navy Fleet Air Arm Skyhawks and HMNZS New Zealand Aircraft Carrier.
 
 
This is a purely fictional 'what if?' the New Zealand Government decided when they purchased the A-4K Skyhawks in the early 70's that a Carrier based strike force was required to maintain New Zealand’s security in the Pacific.
 
To meet those requirements the number of Skyhawks ordered was doubled and carrier capability retained during construction. An old US Navy Essex Class Carrier slated for de-commission was purchased by the New Zealanad government and given a complete refit and refurbishment prior to delivery along with the Skyhawks in 1970. Attack the Carrier as an enemy to see what the refit involved ;)
 
Number 6 Squadron is a joint RNZAF/ NZ Navy squadron that uses embarked RNZAF personal to maintain the Skyhawks however all aircrew are members of the Royal New Zealand Navy. As is done in real life with the New Zealand Navy’s Helicopter fleet.
 
 
Includes:
 
- Royal New Zealand Navy Skin and edits for the Third Wire DLC A-4K Skyhawk.
 
- Post project Kahu updated Naval version of the A-4K 'Kahu' Skyhawk.
 
- HMNZS New Zealand Aircraft Carrier which is an ex US Navy Essex Class Carrier which was delivered to the New Zealand Navy in 1970 after being refitted and refurbished.

This is a completey re vamped version of the original TMF F-4M, that's why I'm doing it as a seperate download.
 
If you have the TMF versions installed I strongley reccomend that you remove them before installing this pack as you will end up with lots of redundant files and less risk of something going wrong.
 
The model itself has been heavily modified by Ravenclaw, so you know it will be of the highest quality.
 
All skins are now jpegs and all are new......no two skins are the same regards to weathering etc.
 
All new bump maps.
 
Please read the readme for additional information.
 
 
Again, many thanks to Ravenclaw for the time he has spent helping me with this project.

This contains three F-4K Phantom IIs in the markings of the Royal Australian Navy. 724, 805, and 808 Squadrons are portrayed. 805 Squadron is portrayed operating from HMAS Melbourne, while 808 Squadron is based on Sydney. 724 Squadron is portrayed as a training squadron operating from HMAS Albatross, a Naval Air Station at Nowra, New South Wales.
 
The three time periods of TK's F-4K DLC are represented, original, 75, and 80.
 
For all, a standard US Navy Gull Grey/White skin is provided, and for the F-4K 80, a two-tone grey camouflage is also provided for 805 and 808 Squadrons. The latter is similar to the camouflage seen on some RAN A-4G Skyhawks near the end of their service life.
 
Modified F-4J loadouts are used.
 
Please note carefully: You cannot use the inboard pylons and the AIM-9 rails simultaneously. If you load one, the other will empty. This is not a bug per se, this is simply an inbuilt limitation for the Spey Phantoms.
 
The aircraft has been tested in a merged SF2 installation, patched to August 2012. I have included paulopanz's F-4K DLC enhamcement.
 
I have included a squadrons.ini. This is not necessary for this mod, but is necessary for the RAAF and RCAF F-4M Phantoms.
 
Incidentally, I'd suggest also getting Wrench's HMAS Australia (SCB-125 "What If") located here: http://combatace.com...cb-125-what-if/
 
Backstory
 
The RAN proposed the acquisition of Essex class carriers to the Government in 1964 to replace the Majestic class HMAS Melbourne. The aircraft the RAN proposed was the F-4B Phantom.
 
Operating an F-4B from the relatively small deck of an Essex class carrier is problematic, to say the least. On the other hand, the F-4K Phantom modifications would enable the operation of a Phantom from such a small deck.
 
For further on this (including the RAN proposal itself) see the following:

Backstory
 
The idea for this aircraft comes from my alternate history site. It was first operated by this alternate Royal Canadian Navy in 1968 (in this timeline, there was no unification in the Canadian Armed Forces)
The aircraft was meant to serve on Canada's two Essex class carriers, HMCS Bonaventure and HMCS Magnificent in the fleet defence and strike roles. In order to get the performance required for such small carriers, a new turbofan was developed by Orenda, the Orenda Huron. Redesign of the Phantom airframe to accomodate the larger engine was done by Avro Canada.
 
The article for the aircraft itself is found here::
