Cha-23 NATO designation AS-7 Kerry was seen on Yak-38M and during the AFG campaign the Cha-25 NATO designation AS-10 Karen was used. The screenshots show Cha-25MP missiles.

Da gibts schon eine ganze Reihe von Flugzeugen, die eigentlich nur einen anderen Namen und eine andere Tarnbemalung brauchen. Die haben unsere argentinischen Modderkollegen gebastelt. Schau mal hier: http://combatace.com/files/category/479-french-origin/?sort_order=DESC&sort_key=file_submitted&num=10&st=40 Die Canards und Lufttanksonden, die ich für meine fiktiven MiG-21 Versionen nutze stammen auch von dort. Alejandro ist der 3d Modder. Die Zusatzteile werden einfach der Fake Pilot drangepappt und im Spiel sieht das kein Mensch. Wenn man eine einfache Veränderung vorhandener Files von Alejandro möchte, bekommt man sie auch recht flott.

New gift tank for the european server. Japanese Tier 2 light tank Type 97 Te-Ke. Not to bad if you ask me. Was my first battle on this little tank. Not available on US server so far. Perhaps it will comes later.

Einen Jaguar M für die Marineflieger finde ich nicht schlecht. Vielleicht als Bordgeschwader zu einem fiktiven Träger. Die Jagdbombergeschwader sollten anstelle der Mirage III die Mirage 5 erhalten Und die M2000 würde ich ganz weglassen. Stattdessen kampfwertgesteigerte M3, M5 oder F1 Varianten nehmen. So in der Art der Kfir mit Entenflügeln und Tanksonde. In etwa, wie die Mirages für Südamerika verbessert wurden oder die Cheetah für Südafrika. Den französischen Buchstabensalat könnte man umgehen. Einfach einen gutklingenden Namen und zusätzliche Buchstaben zur Version. Sagen wir mal Mirage III Falke, Mirage 5 Sperber und Mirage F1 Habicht. Dann wäre die M3C ein Falke-A die M3E ein Falke-B die M3R ein Falke-C usw.

BBC news alert: East german Forgers attacked the Invincible battle group some miles west of the island of Rügen after S-300PMU SAM systems annihilated the Sea Harriers. The first strike hits the picket shipes, while the missiles of the main strike hit the british carrier and sunk it.

If Scotland really would vote for independence in autumn this year and it would become an own independent nation in some years, what would happen with the HMS QE. Will the ship be owned fully by the rest UK and Scottland will be paid for his share or will be the bow scottish and the stern english and the middle be owned by Wales and Northern Ireland?

Found this in a german forum: 2 islands? No kidding?

In 1968 the soviets wanted that the GDR took part in the CSSR invasion, but in this only one time Ulbricht (ZK Chef) resist against the soviet will. So the GDR forces stayed along the borderline on GDR territory. But it is true, that there are rumours about a german participation. This rumours are partly true. Some days before the soviet invasion the WP held a troop exercise in the slovak part of the CSSR with NVA participation. It were only a fistfull communication troops. 30 or 40 men or so. This tiny force was on the way home, when the soviet invasion started and they tried to avoid WP marching columns at all costs, so that the marchroute went trough the Riesengebirge along the polish czech border to the saxon swizerland mountains, were they arrived GDR territory without having troubles with the czech people. Perhaps it was helpfull that in the marching area still a lot of people were able to speak german language. Your point of animosities between us and the polish you are right. We had a proverb: "With Poland as ally you need no enemy." On the other hand i knew a lot of polish people which a good guys (and girls).

Fire exchanges between polish and GDR forces are new for me. Have never heared about it. That the polish Navy fired some rounds accidently on a west german ship in 1987, yes, that happend. But polish vs GDR? I doubt. In 1981 there was a big "chance" for a big bang between Poland and the GDR. When Poland was nearly broke down caused by the Solidarnosc thing the WP states prepared themself for an invation. The Militärbezirk V was ordered to make a covered mobilization of forces and 2 or 3 Divisions in the north of the GDR were set in high alert, got full wartime ammo and their staffs were already working on attack plans to reach Kolberg and the Leba Lake into 7 days. When Jaruzelski took over the power in Poland the planes were cancelled, but still during my military time in the end of the 80th i heard in some under the hand talks, that in 1981 "we had missed a big chance chance to get back, what belongs to us." I was astonished to hear such revanchistic statements, not only by ordinary soldiers, but by higher ranking officers too. Maybe a "Pommern" aircraftcarrier would fit into such a scenario.

Ehm, Pommern is a former prussian province. The major part of this province is located eastward of the Oder river, what means, that it is today part of Poland. And our polish allies would have been a little bit more than upset if the Volksmarine would have named a ship with the name "Pommern". Geographicaly correct would be "Vorpommern", but names like these were not used in the GDR. The country was devided in local districts (Bezirke), comparable with the french departement structure, so names like Thüringen, Sachsen etc were not used for naming of ships. Correct ship names were names of towns and cities or names of "revolutionary people". AFAIK in the last periode of the GDR only names of towns and cities were used. But it is a What If. Give it the name you want. I like it.

I have problems with my Open Atlantic terrain. If someone it does not know, its a pure sea map, no islands, no land. Only carrier ops. No.1 If i try to launch an intercept mission the game makes a CTD. I even cant go to the selection screen for maps, loadout etc. Dont know why. Has someone an idea? No.2 when i try to fly a cap mission no enemy plane is coming. I see the own carrier with escorts and i have also the enemy carrier with escorts. But no enemy planes. Any ideas, how to solve this problem?

An interessting fact, i have heard today in the serious german newsradio Deutschlandfunk, was the statement, that a ukrainian IL-76 transportplane was flying "near" the shot down 777. the "near" means some km distance, like usual in civil traffic. It was believed, that this plane was the intended target and the SAM crew accidently fired on the malaysian plane.

How about this: MiG-21KMT Gorbaty Kit (humpback whale) New parts made by Spillone. Its only an idea, so far. My flighttests are not running well. I have still problems with AI landings on carrier with low fuel status. The planes tend to run over the deck and crash into the sea. Dont know why. With high fuel status no AI landing problems appear.

Yeah, my name proposals were a joke. But Graf Zeppelin sounds to much like Kriegsmarine, that would not fir. But if you want a chancellors name, then Helmut Schmidt. Its the only one with maritime roots as old Hamburger Jung. Or really Ändschi from MeckPom.

I agree with you. The east ukrainian airspace should have been closed some weeks ago for civil traffic.

An other idea would be that the Ukraine could have sold the unfinished Varyag to Germany instead to China. The Varyag rebuilt got the project name "Ändschi Em" and was finished in a german Shipyard. After the win of the football worldcup it was christened into "Jogi Löw".

What a ugly plane!

The international air corridor over the Ukraine is still open. All international airlines used it up today for their routes from Europe to South East Asia. And it was believed to be safe, because the pro russian rebels had no weapons to harm a plane in 10.000 meters. They have Strelas and Iglas which can reach 2 or 3 km maximum and which are used to down some ukrainian planes. News tell us, that the plan was shot down by a BuK SAM system. Its the question who fired the missile on the Malaysian flight. The ukrainian president says it were not the ukrainian armed forces. The russians say, they have no BUK in this area. Whom you can believe? I dont know. I only can remember that some years ago a training shot of S-200 Vega accidently downed a airliner over the Black Sea. Perhaps something like these could happen again.

A Rafale M for the Marineflieger or a Eurofighter?

But the idea with the carrier would be great. Perhaps a german version of the Charles de Gaulle with the Name "Seeadler".

The german team came home today and got a big "Welcome party" in Berlin with a half million fans. Lufthansa made a special paint scheme for the plane which ferried the german team home. The name of this skin is "Siegerflieger" what means "Victoryflyer" of "Victorflyer". The Lufthansa themself choosed a new name "Fanhansa" The plane awaits the team in Brazil. The take off was delayed for 2 hours because the the driver of a luggage delivery car collided with the plane. The flyby of the Siegerflieger over the "Fanmeile" in Berlin. The plane made a wingshake to send greetings to the fans. After the landing in Berlin Tegel the pilot raised the german flag.

File Name: MiG-21DF File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 13 July 2014 File Category: MiG-21 MiG-21DF *********** ---------------------------------------------------------- I. This mod is written for SF2 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. History: The combat experiences in Vietnam showed, that the RP-21 radar of the MiG-21PF generation was not really satisfying. Very often the pilots detected the target with their eyes earlier than with the radar. The new RP-22 for the next MiG-21 generation was on paper 30% better, but in reality a target in the size of a MiG-21 could be only detected at a range of 7km. So some frontline pilots believed, that the RP-22 radar was only worthless additionally weight and demanded to replace it by the simple radar rangefinder Kvant. So the plane should become lighter and more agile. Further it should get a stronger engine. The MiG-OKB decided to try to use an uprated version of the R-13 which was originaly developed for the Su-15M. This engine was the R-13F2-300 with the same dry thrust like the old R-13-300, but an increased afterburner thrust of 70.2 kN. In 1969 one (other sources say 2) MiG-21SM were taken from the production line and were refitted to the DF standard. Flighttest were held in 1970 and spring 1971 with satisfying results. But it was decided to cancel this project in favor of the more advanced MiG-21bis. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III.

Perhaps the one or the other has heared, that i'm working on a fictive MiG-21K carrierborne fighter. While testflying this bird i faced a problem that drives me creasy: If a squadron comes home from a mission and the fuel level is low, the AI is very often unable to land the planes on the carrier. They dont hit the area of the arrestor cables, run over the deck and drop into the sea. With full or nearly full fuel level it never happend. For comparision tests, i tried it with the A-7 and got the same result. A half squadron missed the cables and run over the deck. Has someone an idea?

Thanks for answers. I will try it.
