Early Seafires

The Battle of France that began on May 10th, 1940 gave Shah Mushani of Paran the perfect opportunity to invade the Kingdom of Dhimar without interference from France and the United Kingdom who were now massively distracted by the war on the western front. Despite this distraction, Shah Mushani waited until the Italian invasion of France on June 10th to launch an all-out attack on Dhimar led by his trusted General Halani Khomar. Supported by the Parani Army Air Force, Khomar's 1st and 2nd Armoured Divisions swept north and west reaching Najahafi on June 14th. Flying from the P2 forward airfield the Parani Army Air Force's Mitsubishi Ki-15P monoplane scout bombers were particularly effective, being considerably faster than the Dhimari Gloster Gladiator fighters and able to deliver their relatively light 250kg bomb load with great accuracy. It was only the introduction of ex-RAF Hawker Hurricane Mk.I's in Dhimari service in October 1940 that saw the Parani Ki-15P's require fighter escort.

Great work Gepard. Enjoying this terrain very much.

View File [Fictional] Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-2PFM "Faceplate-D" Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-2PFM "Faceplate-D" for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Released 'as is', this is Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-2PFM 'Faceplate' - featuring a 3D model by KnightWolf45 (the artist formerly known as Cocas). In the mid-1950's the MiG OKB was tasked in developing a new lightweight supersonic interceptor fighter for the Soviet Air Force and flight-tested two distinct designs in parallel - one with a thin, swept-wing and one with a tailed delta wing. The tailed delta would eventually win out to become the famous MiG-21 'Fishbed' but it's tantalising to consider 'what if' the swept-wing Ye-2A prototype had either won or was considered good enough to also be procured. Anyway, this is the swept-wing Ye-2 as it might have looked in service with the Soviet Air Force and I've also included Egyptian, Mongolian and Parani skins. Giving the aircraft a service designation is tricky as it was given a provisional designation of MiG-23 but, of course, this conflicts with the swing-wing 'Flogger' that came later. We can't use an even number like MiG-20 or MiG-22 so I've just called it the Ye-2PFM and you can change this to suit your own thoughts on this matter. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Ye-2PFM folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Ye-2PFM folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Faceplate-GP-9 folder into your Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Huge thanks to KnightWolf45 for creating the Ye-2PFM 3D model a few years ago and to the CAF team for any inputs that followed. Special thanks also to Coupi for sending me his templates that I've used to create the skins. Thanks to Paladrian for the MiG-21 pit. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 1 - Dec 24th, 2021 Submitter Spinners Submitted 12/24/2021 Category What If Hangar

Thanks! Yes, of course. But the numbers font was just a wild guess so if anyone could steer me to a more accurate font I'd be grateful.
