  2. Supermarine Seafire Mk.IIIC - No.2 Squadron, Royal Dhimari Air Force, 1944 The successful Dhimari counter-attack at Maqazad in the Spring of 1943 proved to be short lived and the Parani bombing of the Dhimari city of Shaqaz during May 1943 led to the deployment of Dhimari P-66 Vanguards and Hurricane IIC's to northern areas of Dhimar leading to a further weakening of the Royal Dhimari Air Force in their desperate attempts to defend the Mazadran Oil Fields and the Valley of Kerman during the summer of 1943. Paran's senior Commander, Brigadier General Abolqasem Mossadegh, followed up by launching Operation Whirlwind in September 1943 and, with Paran gaining air superiority over the Valley of Kerman, it's land forces pushed onwards towards the industrial oil center at Al'Qatan in an audacious attack on the wider Mazadran oil fields. The UK government had long promised Spitfires to modernise the Royal Dhimari Air Force and whilst a handful of war weary Spitfire VB's from Malta were received during the Autumn of 1943 many more fighter aircraft were required. Churchill ordered that 30 new Spitfires were to be transferred to the Royal Dhimari Air Force but, much to the annoyance of the Admiralty, the Ministry of Aircraft Supply ordered that they should all be from the initial batch of 30 interim Seafire IIIC's coming off the Westland production line and all built without wing-folding. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin 55 series engine rated at 1,470 h.p. (with power absorbed by a new four-bladed Rotol propeller) the Seafire IIIC's also featured the slim Aero-Vee air filter and the six-stack ejector type exhausts. Entering service with No.2 Squadron in December 1943 the Seafire IIIC's immediately replaced the P-66D Vanguards and proved to be the equal of the Parani Ki-61's and Bf 109G-6's enabling the Royal Dhimari Air Force to restore air superiority over the Valley of Kerman.

    McDonnell Douglas F-4S 'COAN' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the F-4S by 'The Mirage Factory' to give a fictional Phantom F-4S 'COAN' as it might have appeared in service with the Comando de Aviación Naval Argentina during the 1980-2010 timeline. Also included are three fictional Argentine aircraft carriers; the ARA Bernardino Rivadavia (V-3), the ARA Hippolyte Bouchard (V-4) and the ARA Guillermo Brown (V-5). INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4S_COAN folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4S_COAN folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the GROUND OBJECTS folder drag and drop all three folders into your Ground Objects folder.* 4. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_COAN into your Pilots folder. 5. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop both folders into your Weapons folder. * You'll really need to add 'ArgentineNavy' to the limited nations section of the ICELANDNA_NATIONS data.ini (which you'll need to extract). Doing this yourself will allow you to align the Argentine Navy to a 'colour' of your choice. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to 'The Mirage Factory' for permission to modify the F-4S and also to Sundowner for the F-4S templates which really helped in adapting the Third Wire F-4J skins to fit. Thanks to Ravenclaw007 for the AM39 Exocet missile - as soon as I saw the textures I knew who to thank! Thanks also to the creator of the AR_BRP_250-Kappa_E bomb. It's been in my install for ages but I honestly don't know who to thank. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 1 - May 22nd, 2021.

    It's very good and if you tame the FM it's not too arcadey at all.
