[Fictional] F-84H 'Sharav' for SF2:Europe

Recommended Posts

[Fictional] F-84H 'Sharav' for SF2:Europe


F-84H for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:EUROPE

This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-84F to give a fictional F-84H 'Sharav' of the Israeli Air Force with markings for;

No.101 Squadron (Camo) 

No.107 Squadron (Silver)

No.140 Squadron (Camo) 

No.201 Squadron (Silver)

No.201 Squadron (Silver c/w sharkmouth)

This should work in a stand alone SF2:Europe game (featuring the stock Third Wire F-84F) but has only been tested in a merged install of SF2/SF2V/SF2E/SF2I/SF2NA. 


BACKSTORY

The Israeli Air Force had looked at purchasing the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak as early as 1952 but teething problems with the troublesome Wright J65 jet engine delayed a firm order until March 1955 when 36 F-84H's were ordered with deliveries starting in August 1955 with No.107 squadron becoming the first unit to re-equip with this tough and popular fighter-bomber. 

After seeing service in the ill-fated 1956 Suez conflict another batch of 36 F-84H's were ordered and the type eventually equipped four squadrons and took part in the 1967 'Six-Day' war gaining a fearsome reputation as a
low-level attack aircraft. However the two squadrons that were still equipped with the type at the start of the 1973 'Yom Kippur' war suffered heavy losses over the Sinai Peninsula and the type was withdrawn from service by the end of year.


INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-84H folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-84H folder into your Decals folder.

That's it! 


CREDITS

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

Special thanks to ludo.m54 for the superb F-84F templates.

And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Regards 

Spinners

      NOTE:

      McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Phantom F-4E (early - short cannon muzzle fairing)  to create a fictional Phantom FGR.3 in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1969-1972 timeline with markings for No.6 and No.112 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command as they might have appeared during this period when deployed to Dhimar. Both squadrons have an association with the Middle East and Desert areas with No.6 Squadron being 'The Flying Tin Openers' whilst No.112 Squadron were famous for being the RAF's 'sharkmouth' squadron.  

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Decals folder.
