MiG-17PF of the EAF

I .Credits

***************************************************

The basic of my MiG-17PF is the J-5A of Fallout3, which you can find in the Combatace.com downloadsection Modern Era Aircraft/Aircraft of the PLAAF. Fallout3 made a new LOD file, so that an additionally nose section (as in the other MiG-17PF mods) is not longer neccessary.

 

The cockpit is the great MiG-21PFM cockpit made by MAGO & BADGER the BAD.

 

My share of this new bird are modified ini files and a new skin.

I made new data.ini on the basic of TK's stock MiG-17F, so the handling of the PF is similar to the F. I also made a new radar by using the datas i have found in the book "Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber der NVA von 1956 bis 1970".

 

Thanks to all whos files i have used to make this MiG-17PF.

II. MiG-17PF

***************************************************

The MiG-17PF was the successor of the MiG-17P, which was developed by the MiG OKB as a reaction on the radar equipped F-86 Sabre (Project SP). The flight performance of the P was not satisfying, thatswhy a new engine with afterburner was installed. So the PF was born. The PF was the first all weather frontline interceptor of the Soviet Union and formed for a relative short periode the backbone of the all weather interceptor fleet of the Warshaw Pact countries.

In combat action the MiG-17PF was used in the israeli-arab clashes but also in Vietnam. Some american spy planes were shot down over soviet territory by MiG-17PFs of the PVO.

The PF was armed only with 3 23mm guns. In contrary to the chinese copy J-5A the original MiG-17PF had no additionally hardpoints for missiles under the wing. Missiles came later with the gunless MiG-17PFU.

 

This mod represents an egyptian MiG-17PF before the 6 day war.

Good work. What a blast I had with this in WOI on an armed recon mission (in 1967). Took out 4 Mirage's that were taking off, did the mission, shot up two other runways and got 2 Super Mysteres on the way home.

 

More than any other 'Red' aircraft this has convinced to do a 'Red' install!

Good work on this but the 3D modell is a bit.. very low poly

[Miracles 0]

Umm aside from the fuel tank I can't seem to load anything else like rockets and bombs.

 

Anyone could help me on this

 

patched to Oct patch WoI.

 

No weapons pack installed

[Wrench 9,852]

Propably because it's a PURE interceptor, totally optimized for the Air-to-Air mission. Therefore, no A-G ordanance can be (or should even be attempted to be) loaded (as with the P/PF mods that I did as well, and the common or garden variety PFU)

Its true what Wrench said. The PF was a pure interceptor plane, so no air to ground weapons were available.

But if you want you could mod the plane to carry bombs or rockets. Its easy.

Oh I see then thank you Wrench( always helpful as ever) and Gepard :yes: thanks for the mod

 

Just that the PF loadout.INI specifies all kind of rockects and bombs...so I figured I missed something

The nose is rather low poly . . . . if only Gepard would improve on it, Sir!!!
