Mirage IIIO for Strike Fighters
 
This is a mod of the Mirage Factory's Mirage IIIE, to create the RAAF Mirage IIIO. The Mirage IIIO was a license-built IIIE, configured for Australian conditions. It was the RAAF's first-line fighter from the 1960's until the 1980's (it was sometimes informally rendered as the "III-Oz").
 
The Mirage was the RAAF's first supersonic aircraft, being selected in November 1960 over the F-104 Starfighter, F-5 Freedom Fighter, the Phantom II and the English Electric Lightning. The Mirage won out on its superior ability to operate from austere airfields, and its multirole capabilities.
 
The Mirage IIIO FM and screens are by Charles, and it comes with two skins by Gramps, a 75 Sqn 1960's camo scheme and a 3 Sqn 1980's low-vis grey.
 
Many thanks to the Mirage Factory for creating the Mirage IIIE,on which this mod is based. Please read the ReadMe for full instructions and credits.

V1.1 (Super Mystere B2 equipped with internal rocket launcher).
Developed from the Mystere IV it become a completely new aircraft.
Built in 180 exemplary it served with the French Air Force (Armee de l'Air) from 1958 until 1977.
The Super Mystere served also with the Heyl Ha'Avir in the six days war... in 1969-70, after the French embargo, the Sambad (Israeli name for the Super Mystere) was modified to use the PW J52-P8A american engine and renamed Sa'ar (tempest)... but this is another story.
The Super Mystere is also Historically important because it was the first serie-built European fighter able to fly beyond the speed of sound in level flight.
The SMB2, like others interceptors of the '50/'60 years, was equipped with a internal rockets launcher; this kind of weapons was intended to be used against waves of enemy (soviet) bombers. When the first generation of guided missiles were available, this weapons were abandoned.
 
The aircraft is tested with SFP1, WoV and WoE updated at the last Service Pack and with the last WeaponPack.
This mod is freeware and is not allowed for commercial use.

The Sa'ar (tempest) is a modification of the Super Mystere B2 (Sambad for the Israeli pilots). After the French embargo and the consequent poor availability of Atar spare parts, Hey'l Ha'Avir decided the installation of a PWJ52-P-8A american jet engine on a Sambad cellula. The lower fuel consumption and lower weight after the abolition of the After-Burner complex of the ATAR 101, gave the Sa'ar a bigger autonomy and allowed two extra attach points; the long-piped exaust provided best protection against IR guided missiles.
The conversion of 26 Sambad started in late 1969, one aircraft a month , and ended in early 1973 (26 month later... of course).
The Sa'ar, as the Sambad, fought in the IAF with the 105° Squadron "Ha'akrav" (The Scorpion) only.
 
The aircraft is tested with SFP1, WoV and WoE updated at the last Service Pack and with the last WeaponPack.

F-105D-31 Thunderchief introduction & History
***********************************
 
 
Built by Republic Aircraft, the F-105 was designed as a supersonic, single-seat, fighter-bomber able to carry nuclear weapons and heavy bomb loads over great distances at high speeds. It made its first flight on October 12, 1955. The first F-105D (58-1146) flew on 9 June 1959. The TAC at Nellis AFB, Nevada, accepted the first F-105D on September 28, 1960. The initial contract for 59 F-105Ds was increased to nearly 300 by the end of 1961. Ultimately, 610 F-105Ds were built.
 
The F-105D variant was an all-weather fighter-bomber version, fitted with monopulse and Doppler radar for night or bad weather operations. This radar was capable of terrain avoidance commands. The original weapons bay, designed for nuclear stores, was sealed and fitted with additional fuel tanks. Bombs were carried on multiple weapons racks on the centerline of the fuselage, and on wing pylons. The aircraft was fitted with a retractable in-flight refueling probe. During the Vietnam War, F-105 units operated from bases in Thailand.
 
The F-105D was the major production version of the Thunderchief series. It was an all-weather version of the day-only F-105B. Externally, the -D differed from the -B in having a slightly longer and wider nose, which housed the AN/ASG-19 "Thunderstick" system designed to meet new all-weather requirements specified in the November 1957. The AN/ASG-19 was designed around the NASARR R-14A all-purpose monopulse radar. This was optimized in both air-to-ground and air-to-air modes and was capable of performing both low-level and high-altitude missions. The aircraft was equipped with a General Electric FC-5 flight control system that operated in conjunction with the R-14A radar to provide the F-105D with full all-weather capability. The system included a bomb-toss computer, a sight system, an AN/APN-131 Doppler navigator, an air data computer, missile launch computer, autopilot, and search and ranging radar. The radar installation also incorporated a terrain guidance mode permitting the pilot to descend through bad weather in unfamiliar territory and to hug the ground, avoiding detection.
 
A J75-P-19W jet engine equipped with water injection powered the F-105D. A new cockpit was provided with a vertical instrument panel. The higher gross weight of the -D version required the provision of a stronger main landing gear and more robust brakes. In addition, a pitot tube was mounted on the extreme tip of the nose. The aircraft were otherwise quite similar to other F-105s. The F-105D had an arrester hook mounted on the rear of the ventral fin. This hook was intended to engage a wire in case the aircraft overshot the end of the runway during a landing. The Thunderchief was not capable of carrier-based operations.

F-105F and G Thunderchief introduction & History
***********************************
 
 
The F-105F was heavily committed to combat over Southeast Asia. Some were quickly adapted for the "Wild Weasel" air-defense suppression role, fitted with electronics to detect enemy radars and target air defense sites for destruction in advance of strike packages. The original Air Force "Wild Weasel I" was a modified two-seat North American F-100F Super Sabre, but the F-100 wasn't fast enough to keep up with F-105 strike packages, and so the F-105F was selected for the role.
 
The major elements of the modification were addition of the "APR-25 Radar Homing And Warning (RHAW)" system, which picked up and located radar sites; the "APR-26 Launch Warning Receiver (LWR)", which provided warning of a missile launch; and an "IR-133 Scan Receiver" to search for emitters. The back-seat "electronics warfare officer (EWO)" controlled these devices and had a cockpit CRT to help locate targets.
 
The first such F-105F "Wild Weasel II", sometimes informally known as an "EF-105F", performed its first flight on 15 January 1966, and the Wild Weasel Thuds were engaged in active combat by the spring of that year. A total of 86 Wild Weasel F-105F conversions were performed.
 
The Wild Weasel F-105F was armed with the new "AGM-45 Shrike Anti-Radar Missile (ARM)", a modified Sparrow AAM with a radar-homing head, to destroy radar transmitters, and attacked air-defense sites with CBU-24 cluster bombs and other munitions. Sometimes Wild Weasel F-105Fs worked with F-105Ds in "hunter-killer" teams, with the Wild Weasel Thud pinpointing the target and the F-105Ds destroying it.
 
While other aircraft could avoid air-defense sites when possible, Wild Weasels actually had to attract their attention and take them on. This led to the Wild Weasel motto, which was "YGBSM", standing for "You Gotta Be s**ttin' Me!" Apparently this was the reaction of the first Wild Weasel aircrews when they were told what they were getting themselves into.
 
Wild Weasel crews were generally gutsy sorts, and they evolved tactics for outflying SAMs launched at them. They would watch for a missile launch, and then fly straight at the SAM at high speed, turning at the last moment. The fast-moving SAM would not be able to turn quickly enough to bring the fighter into the blast radius of its warhead.
 
 
Two Wild Weasel F-105F pilots won the highest American military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. On 10 March 1967, Captain Merlyn F. Dethlefsen was piloting one of four Wild Weasel Thuds paving the way for a strike package. The leader was shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and North Vietnamese MiG-21 fighter made repeated passes on the survivors, trying to force them to dump their ordnance. Dethlefsen pressed home the attack anyway and destroyed the site. All three surviving Wild Weasels returned home with severe damage. Dethlefsen was personally awarded the medal by President Johnson.
 
On 19 April 1967, Lieutenant Colonel Leo K. Thorsness had completed a Wild Weasel strike when his wingmates were shot down. He was low on fuel but stayed around to cover the air rescue operation, driving of a flight of MiG-17s that tried to interfere. Thorsness shot down one MiG and damaged another. He passed up an opportunity to refuel from a tanker when another aircraft breathing fumes showed up, and landed safely at Ubon, a forward base in Thailand.
 
On 30 April, Thorsness' F-105 was hit and badly damaged. He and his EWO ejected, Thorsness being badly injured in the process, and were captured by the North Vietnamese. They spent over six years in a North Vietnamese POW camp.
 
* 56 Wild Weasel F-105Fs were later updated to an improved "Wild Weasel III" configuration with the designation "F-105G", featuring improved avionics, as well as jammer pods that were faired into the forward fuselage, freeing up the underwing pylons for other stores. 14 of the F-105Gs were further modified to carry the big AGM-78 "Standard Anti-Radar Missile (STARM)", an air-launched variant of the US Navy's "Standard" SAM.

A-1H Skyraider aka Spad

The Su-17 Fitter with its variable sweep wings was developed from the fixed-wing Su-7B. The first public demonstration of it was made in 1969. It was in production for a long time (1970-1990) and many modifications were built. Some of the modifications were Su-17M, Su-17M2, Su-17M3, and the Su-17M4 (low-altitude subsonic bomber), Su-17UM (trainer). It was designed as a fighter-bomber, but it was used mostly as a bomber. The Su-17 remains an effective aircraft with capable avionics and impressive

This is v5.0a Pack for the A-1H Skyraider MODEL By Monty CZ (Pavel).
This Pack Includes The Latest INIs, LODS, USN Vietnam Skin, USAF Vietnam Camo, Engine Sound, and A-1H COCKPIT
This Pack is Updated For use With Strike Fighters Service pack 3 and Wings Over Vietnam SP1
This Pack Is Setup To Update Linebacker I, Line Backer II and Rolling Thunder Campaigns For WOV.

This varient represents an aircraft from the first batch of 35 Sea Hawk F.1s. It differs from later versions in that the tail fairing, expended brass chutes, and ram air intake on the nose are not present. There were several other minor differences that don't show up on the model and were of minimal consequence.
 
Armament consists of four 20mm Hispanos. Simple and to the point... Later varients could carry bombs and rockets so there will be fun for us mud movers too.
