Thank you all!

 

The Japanese Tomcat is loosly on this 1982 Phantom:

Most Japanese Camo seemed rather uninspiring to me, so I chose this one although only few Phantoms had it... Ideas are always welcome of course. :cool:

Think about it: five subsonic Superetendards with five Exocets sunk two British ships. A full squadron of supersonic long range jets, especially ones as formidable as the Tomcat, with an adequate number of missiles might have very easily turned the tides.

The subsonic and supersonic thing is a complete red-herring (Mirage was twice as the Sea Harrier) and wars are not won by ifs, buts and maybes.

The Mirages were incapable of aerial refueling and had to operate at the very limit of their range, leaving at max 5min in combat. Thus the "long range"-part in my previous post.

Wars are of course not won by what-ifs, agreed, in the case of the Falklands it was won thanks the French who did not deliver anymore Exocets and SuEs. :no:

Well, that, and the Aim-9L all aspect missile...

Thanks mates! Actually the scheme is more fictional than what-if. The real UN-Mission schemes are much plainer, all white, big black UN, reduced national and squadron insignia. At least it was like that at my airbase with C-160s.

The UNMIL Hinds in Liberia do not don any national or squadron insignia. Not even the UN-Mission name is on it!

I just liked the idea of toying around with UN planes engaging the air forces of Greece and Turkey, especially their Phantoms...

 

 

 

 

On an another ironic note, an old screenshot:

Cool one. Does Spain really consider buying Russian birds?

 

You do not have a USN Flanker by chance? I have seen some schemes of the Su-27 in USN colours and it looked disturbingly great!

I don't think they consider. But it really would be cool. Concerning the USN Flanker: I think Spinners has made a USAF Flanker long time ago for SFP1. But I can try to do one if you want to.
