A-4N Ahit Pack for SF2 2.0
Instillation: As usual simply drop into your mods folder and allow it to override when prompted.
Strike Fighters 2 Israel plus either Strike Fighters 2 or Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam are required
A-4N Ahit - Specific model Skyhawk for Israel based on the A-4M with deliveries starting in 1972. The A-4N has the more powerful J52-P-408A Engine, larger canopy, HUD and an advanced weapons delivery/ Nav system.
A-4N Ahit (78) - RWR upgraded
A-4N Ahit (84) - Additional external antenna on the avionics hump and nose of the aircraft are installed.
A-4N Ahit Pave Penny/ LGB - In 1984 some A-4N have their radars replaced with the AN/AAS-35(V) Pave Penny Laser spot tracker and are given the ability to drop GBU-12 and Israeli Griffin laser guided bombs.
A-4N Ahit Pave Penny/ LGB (84) - Additional external antenna on the avionics hump and nose of the aircraft are installed.
A-4N Improved Ahit (Sibat) - Major upgrade of the A-4N in 2005 with a modernised glass cockpit, updated HUD symbology (from the F-16), addition of a Ring Laser Gyro Nav System, plus new Mission and Fire Control Unit.
A-4N Skyhawk ATSI (Desert) - A-4N Ahit (84) Operated but the private company Advanced Training Systems International in the Aggressor role. IAF desert camo.
A-4N Skyhawk ATSI (Grey) - A-4N Ahit (84) Operated but the private company Advanced Training Systems International in the Aggressor role. Two tone grey camo
I have included modified Yom Kippur and Lebanon War campaigns edited to include the A-4N as it was very active in both wars. You will need to have installed my Third Wire A-4E/H/F Ahit upgrade/ Enhancement for SF2 1.0 for the modified campaigns to work correctly.

Gameplay notes:
- Cockpits are stand-ins however all the HUD displays, radar displays, RWR displays are correct.
- To give the A-4N Ahit Pave Penny/ LGB the ability to use Laser Guided Bombs in the CAS role I created a ghost LP weapon station that can be loaded with a 'Shaldag FAC Laser Designation Team' which is the real life IAF special forces team that designated targets for the A-4N. If you don’t like the way it works just delete it from the weapons folder and stick to dumb bombs for everything except strike missions.

A variety of MiG-15 variants were built, but the most common was the MiG-15UTI (NATO reporting name "Midget") two-seat trainer.
Because Mikoyan-Gurevich never mass-produced the transition training versions of the later MiG-17 or MiG-19, the MiG-15UTI remained the sole Warsaw Pact advanced jet trainer well into the 1970s.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO reporting name: "Fagot") is a jet fighter developed for the Soviet Union by Mikoyan-Gurevich OKB.
The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all straight-winged enemy fighters in most applications.
The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17.
The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most widely produced jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built.
Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.
The MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre as among the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparisons with fighters of other eras.
Inside this 1st pack:
- MiG-15 "Fagot A" (S-102/Lim-1/J-2) first production version flyable using Stary's magnificent pit;
- MiG-15SB "Fagot A" czech single-seat fighter bomber version using Spillone's perfect pylons;
- 28 all around the world users skins;

(1. to be continued ......)
The Ilyushin Il-10 (NATO reporting name: "Beast") was a Soviet ground attack aircraft developed at the end of World War II by the Ilyushin construction bureau.It was also license-built in Czechoslovakia by Avia as the Avia B-33.
After the war, until the early 1950s, the Il-10 was a basic Soviet ground attack aircraft. It was withdrawn from service in 1956.
The Il-10 and its licensed variant, the Avia B-33, became a basic ground attack plane of the Warsaw Pact countries. From 1949 to 1959, the Polish Air Force used 120 Il-10s (including 24 UIl-10), and 281 B-33s.
In Poland, the B-33 was modified to carry 400 l fuel tanks under its wings. From 1950 to 1960, Czechoslovakia used 86 Il-10s, including six UIl-10s, and about 600 B-33s. From 1949 to 1956, the Hungarian Air Force used 159 Il-10s and B-33s, named "Párduc" (Panther). From 1950 to 1960, the Romanian Air Force used 14 Il-10s and 156 B-33s. Bulgaria also used these aircrafts.
In the late 1940s, 93 Il-10 and UIl-10s were given to North Korea. They were then used in the 57th Assault Aviation Regiment during the early phase of the Korean War. They were initially used with success against the weak anti-aircraft defense of South Korean forces (following the US refusal to supply the south with "heavy weapons"), but then they suffered heavy losses in encounters against the USAAF fighters and were bombed on the ground themselves. After several weeks, about 20 remained. In the summer of 1950, North Korea received more aircraft from the USSR. The North Koreans claimed to sink a warship on 22 August 1950 with Il-10s, but it was never confirmed.
From 1950, Il-10s were used by the People's Republic of China, in two regiments of an assault aviation division. They were used in combat during a conflict with the Republic of China, (Taiwan), over border islands in January 1955. They remained in service until 1972 (replaced by Nanchang Q-5). From 1957, Yemen used 24 B-33s.
As we realy needed this plane for every early cold war scenery (KAW, SF2EU, TSF, Taiwan, Timor ....) I decided to finish it at all cost and skin in every known post war liveries.
This is a real team work (see credits)

----------------------
Installation

Since this shall be a complete replacement for the IAF Hunter variants, please either back up or delete Hunter F56 and Hunter56A folders in the aircraft & decals folder.

BAC Lightning F.Mk 52 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2)
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.2 to make the little-known F.Mk 52 version that was exported to Saudi Arabia as part of 'Operation Magic Palm' an early UK supplied defence package that also saw the supply of Lightning T.Mk 54 trainers, Hawker Hunters and Thunderbird SAM's. Four F.Mk 2's were withdrawn from RAF stocks and were refurbished at BAC Warton to F.Mk 52's before being delivered to the Royal Saudi Air Force in 1966 with a fifth F.Mk 52 joining them in 1967. Rather confusingly, four of these five aircraft were re-serialled so there are nine serial numbers included here.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Avon_Dry and Avon_Wet files into your main Sounds folder.
CREDITS
Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
