Gepard

70 years ago. The East German Air Force, Luftstreitkräfte der DDR, was founded.

No it was the egg!

All buildings along the road are made by Swambast. He is truly an artist. I placed them only on the map.

New buildings made by Swambast. I think it looks like America.

Blueprints of the F-20 Tigershark were stolen by East German intelligence service HVA. The plane was built as FWD-86 by Flugzeugwerft Dresden. Entered service in 1987.

Has someone an idea how to increase the distance of visibility of TOD objects?

Kenosha Regional Airport, completed. Milwaukee will be next. I got some flat roof buildings from Swambast, which i'm still testing. But to be honest, they are looking good. I think they fit perfectly to an USA terrain. Later more.

Oh Canada!

To the german Phantoms. The first german idea was to get a special version of the F-4E with only one pilot and the radar system of the F-104G. Then they decided, that the AIM-7 Sparrow had a bad performance during Vietnam War. Thatswhy they were not willing to pay money for it. So they bought the F-4F, nickname Poor Mans Aircraft. It was intended to be a gap filler till a single piloted fighter version of the MRCA Tornado would arrive. This Tornado version never came to live. So it was intended to wait till the Jäger 90 (EFA / Eurofighter) would enter the service. This was awaited for the early 1990th. When the EFA program was delayed in the 1980th it was decided to make the F-4 ICE upgrade.

That the guns of the ships shoot to short has to do, that the game engine cant handle indirect fire. So a target can only be hit in the distance of direct fire. The same problem is with tanks of artillery in game. You cant change it.

The Luftwaffe always took the wrong plane. The F-15A would have been an excellent choice. But i doubt, that they would have integrated air to ground weapons. For mud moving they had the Tornado. So a german F-15A would have followed the rule "no pound for air to ground". And stupid as the german military bureaucracy was, i think they would have removed the Sparrows.

Follow the rules. This is a Screenshot thread. You have to post a screenshot here, even if you only want to make a comment. And you may post only on sunday and only screenshots of "Super" planes. Mandatory screenshot: Super Mystere B2 in the 1970th

They use Mi-24 combat helicopters for drone hunting too. But the Russians answered with arming some Gerbera drones with a single R-60 air to air missile. Some days ago the Ukrainians lost one Mi-24 against such an armed drone.
