NF3

An update on NATO Fighters III for you...

 

I spent most of the day today working on it. Its running very well with the current WOE beta patch--I'll have to go back and update several of the old flight models, though. I'm planning on making NF3 a rollup of all of the previous versions, and of course plenty of new stuff. This means you won't have to install all of the old packs--just NF3.

 

For those not familiar with this, the details on NATO Fighters 1 and 2 are here:

No chance of the MF MiG-29 coming with this one huh?

Guess it doesnt fit into the timeline you have planned.

No but it will be perfect for the 1985 campaign I am thinking about for NF4...

Would this be the chance for the 'new' F-14A to make its debut?

Without carriers? Unlikely...

[kct 5]

...That's the problem, although...(points to the TMF WIP thread).

Hey C5 if you need some adjustments to tiles or something not as intensive as complete terrain overhaul drop me a PM ;)

Thanks! This is an awesome tileset. If anything, I would like to make the trees more dense, and have them pop in at a slightly longer distance.

Can I have a commie side campaign?

Sooo predictable.

How about adding a Modern scenario set in late 1980s with modern aircraft s.

It could happen, but probably not in the near future. NF5 maybe?

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Sooo predictable.

He stole the joke I wanted to do as soon as I saw the thread!

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

BTW, I can't recall correctly, does Brain 32 includes some fancy trees and so?

Great news for the Mirage, SMB. No F1 or Jaguar? I guess they are not good enough or not released? What about Vautour?

Is Drakken a total no (I think about Danish or Austrian (yeaaah, neutral, but right in the way of the reds!) units)?

And a commie... uh... never mind.

[bwild 5]

May I suggest a RF-4C unit?

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Great idea!

And maybe a thicker Air defense network for red side? ie more guns and sams?

The Mirage Factory Jaguar GR1 is already in the NF series. The Jaguar A has not been released yet. The F1 is being rebuilt by Oli but there is no ETA. The Vautour is part of WOI and I can't redistribute it because it belongs to TW.

 

Danish Drakkens...I completely forgot them. Let me look into it!

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

I know about the brit' jaguar, and I've wonderfull memories of tree-level raids into GDR.

For the Jaguar A and Mirage F1, that was what I guessed, that one was not ready and the F1 model a little bit old.

But if I recall correctly, there were some beta-ish (you know, "naked" model, white) Vautours pics around (or was it at Check six?) before the release of WoI. I thought that perhaps some third party Vautour could have escaped my eyes.

 

Oh, an what about some of those awesome Brit designs such as Sea Vixen, Javelin, Scimitar, Swift or Venom? I don't know if these are released or made mods, but as a RAF fan I would love to have them in NF.

Let me look at what is available and I will see if I can get some more RAF birds in.

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Woohoo!

[Viggen 644]

I believe Veltro2k has a Vautour WIP. Several different varients too :yes:

The Sea Vixen alone in a full NF campaign would rock some serious socks.

[Stratos 3,191]

Wha about a Spanish squadron??

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Good idea... But when did they join nato? And by the way, wouldn't have they be more focused, alongside Italian and Greeks on some mediterranean/Balkan front? Serving in Italy and Greece against the SU, Romania and Bulgaria? Or perhaps against Albania and SFRY too.

It reminds me of a great The Operational Art of War II scenario called "blue danube", describing that southern front of WW3 and it was very interesting. I would love to some WW3 sim action in that part of the world.
