  1. [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.3

    McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
    This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Phantom F-4E (early - short cannon muzzle fairing)  to create a fictional Phantom FGR.3 in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1969-1972 timeline with markings for No.6 and No.112 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command as they might have appeared during this period when deployed to Dhimar. Both squadrons have an association with the Middle East and Desert areas with No.6 Squadron being 'The Flying Tin Openers' whilst No.112 Squadron were famous for being the RAF's 'sharkmouth' squadron.  

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it!

    CREDITS
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Special thanks to sundowner for the F-4E templates.
    And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

  2. [Fictional] Dhimari Sud-Aviation Vautour IIA

    Sud-Aviation Vautour IIA 'Dhimar' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a simple mod of the stock 'AI' Third Wire Vautour IIA to give a flyable Dhimari Vautour with markings for;
    No.11 Squadron - 'The Rams'
    No.14 Squadron - 'The Buffaloes' (named after the squadron's first aircraft the Brewster F2A Buffalo).
    Whilst this mod is meant for Strike Fighters 2 it does require you to have Strike Fighters 2:Israel so that you have the necessary Third Wire Vautour LODs. Please also note that this revised upload switches to the Third Wire Gloster Meteor cockpit but you can easily switch to the cockpit of your choice such as the A-4B cockpit. 

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the VautourIIA_Dh folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the VautourIIA_Dh folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it!

  3. [Fictional] Dassault Mirage 5FM 'Morocco'

    Dassault Mirage 5FM for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Dassault Mirage 5F to give a fictional export version for the Royal Moroccan Air Force (Force Aérienne Royale Marocaine) in a Desert camo scheme with markings for Escadre de Chasse "Tigre".

    BACKSTORY
    The Mirage 5 was developed from a request made by the Israeli Air Force in 1964 for a simpler 'clear weather' version of the Mirage 3E tailored mainly for the ground-attack role with avionics reduced and repositioned, more fuel for attack missions and two additional ventral stores pylons located towards the rear fuselage. In September 1966 Israel became the launch customer for this important new line of the Mirage family when they placed an order for 50 Mirage 5J's. However, rising tensions between Israel and their neighbouring Arab states during the early summer of 1967 allied to General de Gaulle's increasingly pro-Arab stance led to a French arms embargo to Israel announced on June 3rd, 1967 just two days before the Six-Day war despite Israel having paid for the aircraft in full. 
    By this time, the prototype Mirage 5 had flown and production was in full swing with the now embargoed Mirage 5J's beginning to stockpile at Bordeaux-Mérignac. But following the Mirage's dazzling combat record in the hands of Israeli pilots during the Six-Day war the air forces of many nations knocked on Dassault's door and one such nation was Morocco (formerly a French protectorate) who wanted the Mirage 5J's to supplement their recently acquired but decidedly lukewarm Northrop F-5A's. General de Gaulle readily agreed to this sale and Dassault made some minor modifications to the 5J's to export them as Mirage 5FM's to the Royal Moroccan Air Force in late 1968 with initial deliveries going to Escadre de Chasse "Tigre" based at Meknes, Northern Morocco.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Mirage5FM folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Mirage5FM folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it!

  6. Mirage 3C PN (Panama Servicio Aérea Nacional)

    Dassault Mirage IIIPN, Servicio Aérea Nacional (Panama National Air Service) 7/20/09
     

    -- For SF2 Full-4 Merged Installs !ONLY! --


     
    This is a mod of the stock 3W MirageIIIC into a "What If..." MirageIIIPN if used by the Panama Air Force. It makes use of various stock lods, cockpit, and cockpit bits that are ONLY in a full-4 merged install. It is also completly non-usable in any 1stGen versions of 3W games due to extensive use of various lods, inis and tgas ONLY available in a Full-4 Merged install.
     
    Extensive editing of all the inis created a 'mix-match' of old and new; old airframe with modern avionics. All weapon fits, excepting the R-530F are stock. I've included the R-530F (and variants), for those that don't have Gunny's Ordanance Shop installed. The canopy has also bee activated, use Shift/0 to open and close it.
     
    You =will= be extracting the Nations.ini, to add the new nation of Panama. Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
     
    As always, it's reccomended -no, REQUIRED- that you read the enclosed document through before installing this mod. If you are unfamiliar with any procedures, post questions in either the Release Announcment Thread, the regular CA forums, or via PM to me. It really isn't all that hard.
     
    Good Hunting!
    Wrench

    ps: should maybe have been posted in the "What If..." section, but that's Spinner's section!

  7. Lockheed Martin F-4AR "Phantom Eagle"

    The Lockheed Martin F-4AR Phantom Eagle  is a major upgrade of the McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II developed for the Argentine Air Force which entered service in 1998. The program was named Phantom Eagle in recognition of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle , which was the source of its new avionics.
    Schemes of A-4AR (V) and IAI Finger (VI)

  8. [Fictional] Westland Whirlwind FB.2

    Westland Whirlwind FB.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the prolific Veltro2K's Whirlwind to give a fictional Whirldwind FB.2 in service with No.6 Squadron (the famous 'Flying Can-Openers') of the RAF's Desert Air Force. This mod is meant for SF2 and, ideally, you'll have Expansion Pack 1 for the stock 250lb bombs. More experienced WW2 modders will have access to more correct bombs but I just wanted this to be as simple as possible to install. This is an older 3D model that has a few problems that will not get fixed now so it's all released 'as is'. One possible problem that could be fixed by the community here is what sounds like the undercarriage collapsing when working up to rotation speed but this rarely affects your ability to complete the mission. I've played around with it and copied other aircraft's landing gear for ideas but I can't fix it.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the WhirlwindFB2 folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the WhirlwindFB2 folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it! But you may need to add a suitable WW2 Pilot (not supplied).

    CREDITS
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Special thanks to Veltro2K for all of his delightfully esoteric aircraft, this is just one of many! Check them out!
    Thanks also to Syrinx for the Whirlwind template which I lost back in 2016 when I suffered a complete data loss : (
    And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

  10. [Fictional] Tupolev Tu-16 'Badger-A' Paran Air Force

    Tupolev Tu-16 'Badger-A' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the stock AI Third Wire Tu-16 to give a flyable Tu-16 'Badger' in service with the Empire of Paran Air Force with markings for No.1 Heavy Bomber Brigade.

    COCKPIT
    There is not really a totally suitable pit for this aircraft so I've decided not to include one but you will be sat in the right place (offset to port) and you will have a gun sight and a ground mapping radar. 
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Tu-16_Pa folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Tu-16_Pa folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it! 

    FLYING THE BADGER
    It's so easy to scrape the tail when taking off so let the Badger 'auto take-off' by setting flaps and full power, release the brakes and the nose will lift at 260kmh and it will lift off the runway soon after. I've had good results by releasing my bombs at 10km away from the target whilst at 6,000m altitude but the Badger will happily cruise at 9,000m and at that height you should release your bombs at about 12km away from the target or just a bit more. Remember that the Badger has a fixed forward-firing 23mm cannon so if your bombs miss the fuel tank then get down nice and low and take it out that way!
    To help you land the Badger I've added fake airbrakes which will slow you down enough so it's just a matter of lining up the runway from a fair old distance and making a nice 'greaser' of a landing. It does sometimes help to push the stick forward to overcome the bounciness of the landing gear.

  11. P-47N Thunderbolt - North Vietnam

    Republic Aviation P-47N 'VPAF' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
     
    This is a very simple mod of Russouk2004's P-47N Thunderbolt to give a fictional P-47N in service with an embryonic North Vietnamese Air Force.
     

    BACKSTORY
     
    The Viet Minh artillery attacks against the French airbase at Dien Bien Phu on March 16th, 1954 resulted in the destruction of six French F8F Bearcats , five MS.500's and two helicopters. In addition, several French P-47N Thunderbolts, F6F Hellcats, SB2C Helldivers and PB4Y Privateers were damaged and could not be flown out. This setback was immediately compound by a failed air-drop to help sustain the besieged French garrison and before long the Viet Minh insurgents had overrun the garrison despite a very brave defence by the French forces.
     
    Immediately following the Geneva Conference of July 1954, which recognised the 17th parallel as being a provisional military demarcation line dividing the country into two zones, North Vietnam soon started the development of military aviation in the new Communist state by sending a number of trainees to the USSR and China for pilot training and aircraft maintenance training. In September 1954, Vice-Premier Pham Van Ðong ordered the immediate formation of the North Vietnam Air Force mainly using aircraft left behind by the retreating French forces but soon bolstered by equipment from the Soviet Union. Sufficient P-47N's were scraped together to form the 921st Fighter Regiment based at Thanh Hoá Air Base who were declared operational in February 1955.
     

    INSTRUCTIONS
     
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the P-47N_VPAF folder into your main Aircraft folder.
     
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the P-47N_VPAF folder into your main Decals folder.
     
    3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop both folders into your main Weapons folder. The SHAVR is simply a fictional Soviet version of the HVAR created as the stock S-24 is too big and heavy.
     

    CREDITS
     
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
     
    Thanks to Russouk2004 for creating the superb P-47N and for making the equally good template available.

  14. [Fictional] Mikoyan-Gurevich-Hawker Falchion F.Mk1 for SF2

    Mikoyan-Gurevich-Hawker Falchion F.Mk1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
     
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire MiG-15 to create a fictional licence-built MiG-15 in service with the British Peoples' Republic Air Force as the Falchion F.Mk1. I'm delighted to use Stary's new MiG-15 cockpit in this little bit of fluff and nonsense. Please note that this mod requires you to have Expansion Packs 1 and 2 as the MiG-15 was 'bonus content' if you had both but you could quickly juggle things around to use the MiG-15bis if you've only got Expansion Pack 1.
     
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
     
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Falchion folder into your Aircraft folder.
     
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Falchion folder into your main Decals folder.

  15. [Fictional] F-105D 'Shalakh' (Osprey) for SF2

    F-105D for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-105D Thunderchief to give a fictional F-105D 'Shalakh' (Osprey) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for;
    107 Squadron - 'The Knights of the Orange Tail' 
    119 Squadron - 'The Bat' 
    253 Squadron - 'The Negev' 
    This should work in any SF2 game featuring the stock Third Wire F-105D but has only been tested in a merged install of SF2/SF2V/SF2E/SF2I.

    BACKSTORY
    During the early 1960's Defence Secretary Robert S. McNamara and his team of whiz-kids were on a mission to streamline the US defence budget with 'commonality' being their main area of focus. With the F-4 Phantom now being procured for the USAF as well as for the USN and USMC and with the TFX (F-111) project promising further cost savings it appeared that the two aircraft had the home tactical fighter market covered. So it was no surprise when in October 1963 Republic Aviation were formally ordered to cease further development of the F-105 Thunderchief and to stop production after the current batch of F-105D's and F-105F's.
    In early 1964 the Heyl Ha'Avir (Israeli Air Force) were looking for a replacement for the Vautour tactical bomber and openly expressed a preference for the UK's Blackburn Buccaneer. With the end of the Thunderchief production line looming, and with no follow-on project in the immediate pipeline, Republic Aviation proposed a modified version of the Thunderchief F-105D to the Heyl Ha'Avir at a very attractive price and this was eagerly accepted. 
    With the last USAF F-105D's and F-105F's going through the door production continued with the main production batch of 100 F-105D-35RE aircraft (essentially similar to the F-105D-31-RE but with some Heyl Ha'Avir specified equipment) and powered by the Pratt & Whitney J75-P20W engine rated at 26,500lbs of thrust with reheat. Deliveries of the first F-105D-35-RE aircraft to Israel began in early 1967 and the type soon gained the local name of 'Shalakh' (Osprey). As a happy consequence, the USAF ordered more F-105D's and F-105F's as attrition replacements for Vietnam and this kept the Thunderchief production line open until December 1968. 

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-105Didf folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-105Didf folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it!

  18. [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas A-4K Skyhawk 'BAF'

    McDonnell Douglas A-4K Skyhawk 'BAF' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
     
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire DLC A-4K to give a fictional Belgian A-4K with markings for No.1, No.2 and No.42 squadrons of the Belgian Air Force with service years ranging from 1970 to 1991. If you haven't actually got the A-4K DLC you'll quickly be able to hack the contents to suit whatever you've got available to you. Please note that for simplicity (i.e. laziness) I've used the stock Mirage 5BA serial numbers.
     
     
    BACKSTORY
     
    In early February 1968 the outgoing Belgian Paul Van den Boeynants announced that the Dassault Mirage 5 was to be purchased as the desperately needed Thunderstreak replacement for the Belgian Air Force. However, within days, massive student unrest and questions of discrimination against the ethnic Flemish population led to the bringing down of the Van den Boeynants government and a new incoming government led by Gaston Eyskens. The new government immediately cancelled the order for the Mirage 5BA and instead purchased the American A-4K Skyhawk in a reduced purchase of 48 A-4K single-seaters and 12 TA-4K two-seat trainers.
     
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
     
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-4K_BAF folder into your Aircraft folder.
     
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-4K_BAF folder into your main Decals folder.
     
    3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_BAF folder into your main Pilots folder.
     
    4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Orpheus folder into your main Weapons folder.

  19. [Renewed] F-4M Phantom II - Royal Australian Air Force

    The F-4M Phantom II for the Royal Australian Air Force.
     
    There are three versions of the F-4M in this mod.
    TK's F-4M: This is intended as a strike aircraft (but is capable in all roles). In this scenario, it was operated by 2 Squadron, 12 Squadron, and 460 Squadron. It comes in the SEA colour scheme, a Green/Grey RAF-style scheme, and an overall olive drab (as on the CF-104).
    TK's F-4M (75): This is an interceptor operated by 3 Squadron, 30 Squadron, and 458 Squadron. It comes in an ADC Grey scheme, a wrap-around SEA scheme, the Euro 1 scheme, and a wrap-around Green/Grey RAF-style scheme.
    TK's F-4M (80): Again, this is an interceptor operated by 3, 30, and 458 Squadrons. It comes in the grey scheme worn by RAF Phantoms near the end of their service lives, Euro 1, a wrap-around Green/Grey RAF-style scheme, and a wrap-around SEA scheme. Low-visibility national markings are provided for the grey scheme.

    I have taken the SF2 Realism Mod SquadronList.ini and added 12, 30, 458, and 460 Squadrons to it, and numbered the decals accordingly.
     
    Back Story
     
    The idea for this aircraft comes from my alternate history site. It was first operated by this alternate Royal Canadian Navy in 1968.
     
    The RAAF's primary strike aircraft for the sixties was the F-105 Thunderchief. During the Vietnam War, the RAAF used its Thunderchiefs to strike targets of strategic importance to the Saigon Fascist regime. However, German air defences in South Vietnam had taken their toll on the Thuds. With the F-111C suffering serious delays, the RAAF took what was available, the F-4 Phantom. This aircraft had just been introduced by the Royal Australian Navy. In Vietnam, the Phantom enjoyed a high level of success, and showed its multi-role capacity.
     
    With the delivery of the F-111s, and their work up to full operational capability, the RAAF needed to find a mission for its Phantoms, or a buyer. The RAAF recommended early replacement of the F-106 Delta Dart. The Government accepted this option, and the F-4M served as Australia's air defender until the early 1990s.
     
    The wikia article for the aircraft itself is found here:

  20. SF2 DH Sea Osprey S.1 "What If.."

    SF2 DH Sea Osprey S.1 Pack (What If...) by Cocas             10/29/2017
    = For SF2 (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended) =
    *Note: you =MUST= have, as stated above have, at minimum, a Full-4 merged install, as this mod makes use of many items, most importantly, a (heavily) modified version of the stock F-4B cockpit. Therefore, it's vitally important that your game version has access to this cockpit.*
    The is the release of a new "What If..." bomber by Cocas Air Factory, the DH Sea Osprey S.1 for Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arm usage.  This is 4 jet engined medium bomber for use in the strike, interdiction and recon roles. The aircraft has been tested in the SF2:NA, Full-5 environment, and is carrier capable/certified/capable. Wingfold uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/9.
    The aircraft comes with 2 skins:

    FAA2 - 1960s style EDSG over white (1962-1970, land based) RNAS Lossimouth, 738 NAS "Black Pegasus" badge on the nose.
    All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Weapons used are all stock 3W items. Skins are in jpg format, and damage textures are DDS. All other parts (pilots, seats, etc) are supplied. More decals are supplied for the various RN CVs and several other squadrons (see "Notes" for full list).

  21. [Fictional] Chengdu JH-6 "Flashfire"

    Fictional mod of the stock Mirage 5F modifying it to a fictional fighter plane for the chinese air force.
     
    YOU WILL NEED SF2:E and SF2:I AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!
     
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
     
    1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.
     
     
    CREDITS
     
    Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they have.

  22. Israeli Defense Force Add-on for A-6 Superpack

    THIS PACK REQUIRES THE A-6 SUPERPACK 1.51 OR LATER.
     
    The IDF/AF A-6 Pack has been tested with Strike Fighters 2 Full 5+2 merged install. It should work with less than a full 5+2, but requires the following SF2 versions to take advantage of the respective components:

    SF2V for the A-6A
    SF2NA for the A-6E and A-6E_79
    SF2I for the campaigns and serial numbers for the aircraft
     
    This pack is strictly a "What If" set of skins and campaigns that explores what might have happened had Israel purchased the A-6 Intruder from the United States. The pack includes skins for the A-6A, A-6E, and A-6E_79 (TRAM) in the standard IDF camouflage both with and without ID Triangles. It is unlikely that the IDF would have used ID Triangles on the A-6, given that it doesn't look like anything flown by Arab nations, but I included the skins for completeness.
     
    Additionally, the Six Days War, Yom Kippur War, and Lebanon 1982 campaigns also have A-6 variants, allowing you to fly the A-6 without unbalancing the campaign.
     
    Finally, the Optional Files folder includes the original SF2I campaigns. These campaigns are identical (as of the July 2012 patch) to the SF2I campaigns in the CAT file, but have the campaign base screen set to Ramat David airfield.
     
    1. Change Log
    1.0 Initial Release
     
    2. Installation
    Copy the files to your SF2 "Mod" folder.
    Copy the contents of the Optional Files folder to your SF2 "Mod" folder, if desired.
    Enjoy!

     
    3. Known Issues
    I did not include an updated A-6x_Userlist.INI file. This is by design, since this pack is "What if".
     
    4. Future Compatibility Issues
    In the event of a SF2 patch, you will want to examine the following files with the post-patch extracted files to see if there are any changes or potential incompatibilities:
    CAMPAIGNI1_DATA.INI
    CAMPAIGNI2_DATA.INI
    CAMPAIGNI3_DATA.INI
     
    In each case, the only difference in the files should be the following line:

    CampaignBaseScreen=RamatDavid.jpg
     
    If the original SF2I campaigns are updated, merely copy over the updated CAMPAIGNIx_DATA.INI and add the line "CampaignBaseScreen=RamatDavid.jpg" to the appropriate location.
     
     
    5. Credits
     
    Wrench's A-6E Templates were the basis for these skins.
     
    All other credits can be found in the A-6 Superpack.
     
     
    This Pack is released in accordance with the Combat Ace Freeware Licensing Agreement. Please feel free to use the contents of this pack with any other mod, so long as appropriate credit is provided.
     
     
    For support, please post in the File Announcement thread for this mod at Combat Ace.

  23. [Fictional] BAC Lightning F.6N 'NATO'

    BAC Lightning F.6N for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:Europe
    This mod is meant for those without the Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2 (for Strike Fighters 2 Europe) and is a simple mod of Russouk2004's superb BAC Lightning F.Mk6 from the SF1 archives to give a fictional F.6N (N for NATO) in service with four NATO air forces (Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and the UK) in a 1966 to 1988 timeline. 
    Unfortunately, the 3D model has some issues with decal bleed on the vertical tail and also with shadow 'ropes' but I've elected to leave shadows ON. I've had a play with the FM by pasting in some Third Wire Lightning DNA including adding 'ghost' outer wings to allow for this 3D model having a one-piece wing whereas the Third Wire Lightning has a two-piece wing and I've also fiddled with the mass fractions to distribute the weight. It flies really nice and will perform a 'hands free' take-off (flaps down, throttle up, brakes off) with the usual ability to supercruise and climb supersonicly.  As this mod is meant for those without the Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2 I've used the pit from the stock F-4B Phantom.
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the LightningF6N folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the LightningF6N folder into your Decals folder.
    3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop both files into your Sounds folder.
    Bingo Fuel!

    CREDITS
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Massive thanks to Russouk2004 for creating the Lightning F.Mk6 a real British thoroughbred.
    Thanks also to Sundowner for the silver/NMF Lightning skin used for all eight skins with tail markings pasted on top by yours truly.
    And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
    Regards 
    Spinners
    Version 2 - January 28th, 2024

  24. [Fictional] Dassault-Breguet Sagette (Arrow)

    Dassault-Breguet Sagette (Arrow) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Europe or Merged)
     
    I modded the stock MiG-21SM from SFP:E to make it look like a fictional fighter for the french air force.
     
     
    BACKGROUND
     
    After the retirement of the Farandole II, several french fighter wings got the Mystere IVA. Complaints about lacking engine power and fire power led to the development of the Sagette, which was a more versatile and powerful fighter, easy to fly and and with reasonable armament. This plane entered active service in 1971, replacing the Mystere IVA.
     
    This plane was also able to carry the new R530 IR and radar guided missiles, which gave the plane even more firepower.
     
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
     
    1. Drop the the folders into your Strike Fighters mod folder.
     
     
    CREDITS
     
    Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they have.
     
    Also big thanks to Spinners for his decals.
     
     
     
    Enjoy

  25. EF-101D Jammin VooDoo. What If...


    I have absolutely no idea what I am doing here...
    The true story behind Jammin VooDoo
    When USAF realized that maintaining expensive RF-101B become problematic for the budget they started to look for potential clients among allied forces. Imperial Iranian Air Force saw an opportunity in this. After closing the deal IIAF immediately asked the Israeli industry to prepare a possible package for 22 airframes. The deal covered the full conversion of existing airframes into electronic countermeasure fighters. RF-101B received ground mapping radar and sophisticated electronics. It was successfully used by IIAF in escort and SEAD missions until 1979. Soon before the revolution, Israel was afraid that Jammin Voodoo electronics will get into the wrong hands. Thanks to diplomatic efforts Heyl Ha'Avir acquired all 22 airframes. Jammin VooDoo stayed in Israel until 1983 where it served in 253 Tayeset as an experimental ECM detachment. In 1983 due to huge expenses with old airframes, EF-101 was sold back to the USA. All aircraft were sent to two National Guard squadrons where they served for 4 more years in "wild Weasel" detachments.
    In 2380 due to a temporal anomaly, USS Titan was sent into 1988. On secret assignment, all 22 aircraft were beamed into the cargo bay where airframes were scrapped and electronics were used to create a time beacon. 
     
     
    Basic modding skills are required t run this mod.
