About This File
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.

1.0 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.
