SF2 Korean War Era F-86F "GunVal" Sabre Pak


SF2 Korean War Era F-86F "GunVal" Sabre Pak

 

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =

 

*Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level, due to the extensive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users ™ that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*

 

The pack represents the experimental "GunVal" (Gun Evaluation) Sabres as used during the later part of the Korean War.

 

These differ from standard, or garden variety A/E/F models in have 4 20mm cannon instead of 6 50 caliber machine guns. They were only used for a short time (53-54) before being retired, having proved the concept (the data obtained was used on building the F-86H, and possibly US Navy FJ Furys, and the gun itself went on to equip thousands of Century Series fighters).

 

These aircraft carries the markings of the 335th Fighter Squadron, 4th FIW, where they were used.

Like the other Sabres, this has a brand new skin, built from ravenclaw's beyond superb template. All skins are in jpg format, and Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. Almost all markings are decals, excepting the yellow ID stripes. New DDS damage textures are included. Serial numbers are 100% historically accurate; after all, only 10 of these aircraft were ever built, and it was no great feat to run them down.

 

Like the other recently released Sabres, an all new, SF2-compliant FM was created for these aircraft; it flys like it should!. There are NO weapons included as everything references something stock 3W (the gun) or what you'll already have the main F-86 Pak (the drop tank).

Mission tasking is limited to A-A ONLY!!! This is a pure air superiority fighter, with NO privisions for the A-G role. The aircraft also uses the same pilot figure and sounds as the KAW Sabre Pak, so be advised, you need the KAW Sabre Pak installed to get the most from THIS pak.

 

When in-game you'll see "F-86F-2 "GUNVAL" " in the aircraft selection drop-down window.

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

 

Good Hunting!

Gun ammo capacity can be increased to 115 rounds for each gun :)

Wrench I have a question. The Gunval Sabers were, as I understand it, modified F-86F's. So why did you decide not to use the new cockpit used by the F-86F from the KAW F-86 Sabre Pack for the GunVal Sabers?
