+dtmdragon 2,764 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) - TW F-105D stand in. - Removed nose pitot tube and added one to the left outer wing via fakepilot method. - Data.ini edits (weight, thrust, service year etc). - Ranging radar only. - Re-painted and re-panel lined the nose to re-shape it into that of the F-105B. - Moved cannon port. - Cockpit is from the F-84F as the F-105B did not have the 'tape' style instruments or a radar scope like the F-105D One generic USAF silver skin using stock decals and another for the 335th TFS, 4th TFW that forward deployed to Macoy AFB during the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Interestingly If a shooting war had developed some of the 4th TFW F-105B Squadrons were actually tasked with an Air Superiority role.

+Crusader 2,104 Posted September 16, 2016 Use the twin SW launchers as default setup for A2A config. The single-launcher configuration was actually a modification made in Vietnam on D models. They wanted a less-drag config than the twin-launcher together with a ALQ-pod on the opposite wing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
