+Wrench Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 View File "What If" WGAF A-4E Skyhawk West German Luftwaffe A-4E Skyhawk for SF, WoV & WoE: This is a mod the stock 3rd Wire A-4E Skyhawk joining the ranks of "What If..." they had been purchased by the West German Air Force, to replace their Fiat G-91s while awaiting the arrival of the Tornado IDS, in the light to medium attack/strike role. (due to 'unforseen delays' in the Toros) I feel an aircraft like the Scooter is almost perfect for the European environment: light, fast, manuverable, good weapons fits, easy to fly and maintain, survivable, etc. Did I mention it was fun to fly??? This is a full aircraft mod tested in SF, WoV, and totally designed for WoE. This aircraft is designed with the latest Weapons Pak in mind, and has had it's loadouts adjusted accordingly. I also 'split' the hardpoints, to allow for asymetrical loads on the outboard pylons. It uses the stock A-4F cockpit (supplied via the cat file! - saves on space in the d/load) I've also repainted the stock gunsight tga, by making in a brighter yellow. Makes it easier to see for us old folks ;) Also, it is reccomened that you grab 'Range Counter Fix' for the Skyhawks. . There's also a real nice 'photoreal' cockpit upgrade for F model Scooters. Both are available here at CombatAce ... I reccomend them! This is version 2 of this mod, as there were some issues I need to fix, and had relased the other before total completion. If you d/led the original, I suggest deleting it and getting this upgraded version. Sorry for the inconvience Skin created using stock 3rd Wire templates. Camo pattern by Gramps; modified for European-style colors (thanks Richard!!) Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

The Old Ranger Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks Wrench! I always wondered why "der Schooter" (that's German for 'the Scooter')didn't catch on in Europe more. Great addition. The Old Ranger Quote
Tannethal Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks Wrench. Always nice to have the choice. Now it's Ginas vs Scooters for mudmoving. PS: "Skooter" might be more proper, unless one speaks "ch" as "K" like Kina (China) or Kemie (Chemistry). German is a funny language. A translation to Scooter might be "Schlitten" (sled). Quote
