And two missions later dead over Pyongyang while trying to engage this guy!

I'll have to check that out. I don't remember how old this install is so there's a chance I have an older data ini that was never updated. If the AI's performance is improved that will be incredibly helpful. Following suit with the Lightning's data might help with the operator issues of my own. Hopefully all this will help defeat the Badger and Iron Beagle menace. Thanks @dtmdragon ! For fighters I'll probably continue my long standing Saber Dog strategy going back to at least 2008: pray for a hit and firewall the throttle!

Starfires over Korea. It's taken me YEARS to finally make a KAW install

The Republic of Korea Air Force will be retiring its remaining 19 F-4E Phantom IIs on June 7th, 2024, bringing an end to 55 years of service. South Korea operated around 200 F-4s, including F-4Ds, F-4Es, and RF-4Cs. After it was announced that the F-4s would be retired, they were seen at several exercises in the months and weeks leading to retirement firing off AIM-7 Sparrows and AGM-142 Popeyes. A flight of four aircraft took to the skies on a farewell tour around South Korea, flying over locations key to the F-4's ROKAF history and were escorted by the new KAI KF-21 Boramae. Much like when the USAF retired the QF-4E and Luftwaffe retired the F-4F ICE, South Korea took the time to paint two aircraft in historic liveries, including the SEA camo they were first delivered in and an overall light grey scheme. Sad times for us Phantom Phanatics as South Korea retires its F-4s and Greece not far behind.

Toss up between a few different aircraft, but I think I can narrow it down to F-4, F-100, F-105, and Tornado IDS/ADV.

It's been years since I've messed with this game, I'd certainly be interested in taking this time and opportunity to relearn, learn, and finally give back. Enjoyed digging through data inis as a teenager and I'm willing to do that again.

I bet the F-100F was a primary point of interest for many people who downloaded YAP-RW when it was available. Certainly was for me! Reading through the three active threads on the subject does clear up some confusion and questions I had about YAP-RW too.

I believe those came with WOV/SF2V.

New Intruders are very appreciated! Thank you GKABS and team!

Better now in a test than if it ever needed to carry out its duty.

I saw a copy of Wings Over Europe on the shelf at Best Buy in the summer of 2006. Up to that point my flying games were Ace Combat or MSFS 2004. I tried LOMAC but my 13 year old dumbass didn't know what computer specs were so it barely worked on my home PC. I played it bone stock for about a year and then discovered that there were indeed mods for it when I found Column 5's old website and CombatAce soon after.

An outstanding mod gets better. Truly appreciate the passion you all put into this mod.

Wait, really?! All those megatons of conventional and nuclear weapons wasted!

First rotation in South East Asia ended with 40 missions. On my 36th, I spotted an An-2 over our target and gave it a blast from my M61. Towards the end of July and through August there were more MiGs and more SAMs. I'll be volunteering to go back.

Did what I could for now. Hopefully I can donate more this year or next year.

Twenty missions in and the SAM threat around Hanoi grows. Scored the squadron's first MiG kill by dumb luck. Caught a MiG-17 that was flying slowly after I'd just completed my dive on a target. A couple bridges here and there but still a lot of sheds, bunkers, and suspected ammo and POL sites. The lack of secondaries makes me doubt we hit anything. NMC finally let us hit an airfield, just the POL storage though. Those MiG-17s were just sitting pretty on the tarmac. NMC also scrubbed a mission as we were preparing to step. Bridge strikes still have frequent misses, so we're trying to hit them with AGM-12 Bullpups now. Took out a smaller road bridge so I think they might be put to use on some of the others we strike.

Seventh mission was my first in RP6. Target was a railroad bridge, a proper target. We carried 3000 pound bombs but both my wingman and I missed the target. Flak was intense. On the way out I encountered my first SAM. Dove towards the ground and as I leveled out I saw it pass off to my eleven o'clock high. Took some minor damage from flak shells but nothing the maintainers can't patch up. 740 is starting to have patch work every few missions. I'm on ten missions now and since I've arrived at Korat we've lost two pilots. I've seen jets in other flights fireball and heard the radio calls. I don't know how the hell any of us are going to get out of Indochina alive.

Second mission was in very low visibility. We managed to hit the target but I can't say the same for the B-57s hitting a different one. NVA hit my bird on the third mission. Tore the flap off the right wing and peppered the fuselage with holes. Republic builds them tough! (I didn't have any damage tgas show up). Fourth and fifth missions were uneventful. Seen a couple MiGs but otherwise missions in RP1 and RP3 have been routine. Not sure what sort of effect these strikes are having but I don't think hitting sheds and trucks are enough.

Haven't played in about eight months. Came back with a fresh install of SF2V with eburger's expansion. Flying my trusty Thunderchief in Rolling Thunder. Taking off on my first mission. Endless jungle, sure hope I never have to go into it! Bombs away! The NVA opened up with flak as we rolled in One down, ninety nine more to go...

Metrea. They operate four KC-135s that were previously flown by Singapore.

Just goes to show the old Iranian desert pattern (Was it called Asia Minor?) works on anything!

PLAAFES gut truck providing maintainers and flight crews with some snacks or a delicious meal that leaves everyone running for the closest toilet.

I'll be honest I expected a bass boosted "cyka blyat!" from either the Hind or Felon.
