Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam
A TMF Rebuilt project
This mod brings four versions of the phamous photo Phantom into the game, and begins to represent it in its final years of USAF service as well as in South Korean service.
Required
A functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
Included
Effects, sounds, weapons, and 4 RF-4C aircraft
RF-4C_75: regular tanks and centerline pylon to allow nuke carriage.
RF-4C_85: choice of regular Phantom centerline tank or F-15 style tank. Last full up model in use
RF-4C_LORAN_75: similar to _75 but with dorsal "towel rack" antennae for ARN-92 avionics
RF-4C_ARN_101: similar to _85, but with the dorsal antennae for the ARN-101 avionics
This pack is the starter kit, with a few skins per aircraft to get started. There are many other skinpacks available to suite your taste in operations; check in the F-4 Skins
section of the SF2 downloads : https://combatace.com/files/category/512-f-4/

About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.
