Do I need Strike Fighter?

Recommended Posts

I just purchased WOV and have WOE on pre-order. Do I need Strike Fighter to install the various mods, updates, etc. that appear to be available? If I don't have Strike Fighter but do have WOV and WOE, what type of scenarios and mods can I not use and how big a deal is it?

 

Thanks for any information.

While you don't "need" Strike Fighters, I think you will want it. It has the desert terrain which is the basis for many addon terrains. It also has the F-104G and C-130A which are not part of WOV and WOE due to licensing issues with Lockheed. It can be found very cheap. The Value-Soft edition sells for $10 or less online, but I just bought SFP1 from Circuit City for $5 to send to Brazil... if you can afford WOV and WOE, what's another $5 or $10?

 

Strike Fighters Gold is another option, but the cost-effectiveness is questionable. You have to order it from Europe, so both the price and shipping is much higher than buying SFP1 in the US. It is missing the F-104G and C-130A, but the F-104G is available as an official addon from ThirdWire. It does come with a few more campaigns (SFP1 comes with only one). I am an SFP1 fanatic, so I bought this version too. This had the side benefit of allowing me to provide good tech support for other SFG owners as well as support SFG when beta testing patches for TK. If you have money to burn and really want to show your support for TK, you could get this version too... but I am in a very small minority as a US resident who owns SFG.
