Your picture shows not a weapon, but a soviet version of the "Sänger Projekt", called "Kosmoljot". The vehicle shows civil markings, the soviet flag and the cyrillic letters "CCCP", transfered to latin letters "SSSR" or translated into english "USSR".

How to add UPK-23-250 gunpod ino the Mig-21?
Gepard replied to Ghost001's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The answer i got from the former east german MiG-21 pilot was: "Such thing we definitly had not had. And i have never heared, that the soviets used UPK-23 on MiG-21." -

How to add UPK-23-250 gunpod ino the Mig-21?
Gepard replied to Ghost001's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Its not a trustworthy source. They also use the RS-2US, AA-1 Alkali for the MiG-21bis. The MiG-21bis radar was unable to operate the Alkali. They have flare dispensers on MiG-21bis. The MiG-21bis had not had such device. Only the SPS jammer pod had flare dispensers included. I will try to contact a former MiG-21 pilot. Perhaps he know more about gunpods on MiG-21 wingstations. -

Gepard replied to Ghost001's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I have never seen such a weapon on a MiG-21. And i doubt, that the wiring of the inner pylons can handle gunpods. Gunpods on inner stations could cause a conflict with the maingears too. -
Nice job. Well done. Some historical remarks: The red tail skin and the skin with the red and white stripes on rudder are not chinese but soviet skins. In 1950 a soviet aviation group was sent to China to protect Shanghai against nationalist chinese air raids. During this time the soviet MiG's had chinese insignias. The red markings on the MiG's were fast ID markings. The green, light green striped skin was not used in battle and it was not chinese. It was made for a czechoslovakian Cold War movie.

What is the best?
Gepard replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The flightmodel of TW F-14 is the one, which fits best to the other stock planes in game. So the stock F-14A is for me the best choice. -

This Day in History Screenshot Thread
Gepard replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
okay, i'm one day to late. Feb 12. 1942 Operation Donnerkeil / Cerberus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Dash Two german battleships, one heavy cruiser and some escort vessels forced the break through the English Channel. Less than 200 german fighters formed an air cover for the naval battle group. During the battle the german Luftwaffe lost 17 planes, 11 pilots died. More than 300 british planes attacked the battle group. 43 british planes were shot down. All british air strikes were not successfull. The battle group reached their point of destination without countable losses. Screenshot. Me-109F during escort mission over to the battle group near Calais. -
Myth of North Vietnam ABs
Gepard replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
IIRC there were temporary airstrips somewhere in dshungle. The MiG-21 were transported there by Mi-6 helicopters. Take off was made with JATO rockets. I'm not sure wheter this strips were used for landing. -

Here is a map of the rivers at polish territory as it is today. You need, from west to east, Oder/Odra, Warthe/Warta, Netze, Weichsel/Wisla, Narew, Bug, San, Memel/Njeman You already have, northern part of Oder and Warthe, most parts of Netze, Weichsel, Narew and Bug This is a map which shows the maximum expansion of Poland during soviet-polish war 1920/21. On polish territory you see the rivers of Warthe, Netze, Weichsel, Narew, Bug and San

Its more or less okay. You included the canal between rivers Weichsel/Wisla and Warthe. Its a very narrow waterway. But let it as it is. The correct positions of the rivers in west of modern Poland i marked in the screenshot. But they are not as neccessary for a soviet vs polish scenario, because in the 1920th they were mostly german rivers. Only for "Fall Weiss" scenario this area is needed.

Ein Schritt nach dem anderen. Step by step. As usual in the last years i think a terrain would be an easy and fast job. Could be finished for X-mas And then it becomes bigger and bigger. And then comes in my mind: "X-mas okay! But which year?" -

TW MiG-21F ammo loadout?
Gepard replied to baffmeister's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The original MiG-21F, the plane with the two NR-30 guns, was intended to have only 30 rounds per gun. With the MiG-21F13 one gun was replaced. The space where the gun was, was now used for equipment which was needed for the AA-2 Atoll (aka R-3S, aka K-13) missile. The ammoload for the gun was increased to 60 rounds. The ammo of the MiG-21F and F-13 was belt feed. The belt was layed around the fuselage (of course under the skin). When the one gun was removed the space for the ammo belt of this gun became empty and was used to increase the lenght of the ammo belt for the other gun.
