The F-104 is impressive!

And its never happening as the team moved on.

Dave,

 

Oh well

Is What-If designing possible here?  If so somebody could build such a model on their own

A nice companion for the Mi21bis but it seems that it is canceled

Still, I've seen some people here make some incredible models, the statistical data for the aircraft's performance is a bit more complicated and I'm not sure what ability exists here to do it.

I think the MiG-21 wouldn't be a good representation.  The F-104's performance is basically as follows

 

- Top Speed: In excess of the F-4B and F-106A

- Able to operate for protracted periods of time at Mach 2.0

- Climb rate is similar to the F-4B

- Roll rate is similar to the F-5

- Corner velocity is around 420 KIAS @ 0.85 Mach

- If aircraft is fitted with maneuver flaps, sustained turn-rate is similar to the F-4B

I know very well the F104, a Mig-21 vs F104G would be iconic of the cold war.

If I had those considerations in mind, I would have stopped playing SF2 long ago

 

And I still have fun in eburger's NATO5 campaigns, flying german F104 against Mig-21

And I enjoy flying MiG-21 against Starfighters... :)

It is too easy, given the AI
