F4 Phantom question
daddyairplanes replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
think he meant the E style Phantoms Wrench. i believe it more to do with commonality (N's were revamped B's while S's are revamped J's) and institutional pride than mountings (not sure on wieght). the testbed for the gun nosed Phantom was RF-4C 62-1220 and the RF-4B was a RF-4C nose mated to F-4B airframe. the Marines had deployed RF-4Bs off of carriers. final part of my arguement is that max takeoff weight and "combat" wieght are around 1000 lbs more for the E than the S. could be taken care of by restricting use of the centerline station. just sayin........ -

*later model Swiss marks added 'winder capabililty, iirc, in the 70s* wrench kevin stein several late model hunters had 'winder rails, but those swiss models also had maverick Capabilty. talk about revamping an old warhorse! -
F4 Phantom question
daddyairplanes replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
of course history buffs, in 1954 the original spec for what would become the F-4B Phantom 2, called the AH1 called for a quartet of guns similar to the F-100. then as Ceasar said the thinking of the time said guns were obsolete and the specs got changed. -

F84 add on?
daddyairplanes replied to Wodin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
look in the SF1 download section under Cold War aircraft. there is a whole section on the F-84. unless you posted in the Gen 1 forum in which case http://combatace.com/files/file/8775-sf2-f-84g-v12/ that will take care of it all IF you are running GEN 2/SF2. -
first your link goes to a bit on Mig21 v F-4E comparison. 2 many factors come into play not just the factory specs of the planes in question. 3 i doubt the maintenece has kept up to keep their birds fully mission capable, many of the pilots are running rather than bombing their own people and if a no fly zone is kicked off, not many of their pilots will care to take off and test the air armada arrayed against them with planes tech and tactics at least a decade newer than what they have. the trouble they may have given the USN in 81(wich still resulted in USN 2 libya 0) was a result of faulty missles and ROE restrictions. when the rematch went down in 89 missles were more reliable and ROE relaxed (think they only had to light ther radars to be considered a threat in 89) so it wetn down smoother for our side. in short any air action over libya would provide them the oppurtunity to get rid of some old warplanes!

intersesting as i would think not loading them would keep the rails off. as for your skin you might wanna change your decals from white to black. easy to do if you have Gimp or any other program that can look at TGA files. -

Squadrons
daddyairplanes replied to F117NightHawk's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
the squadronlist ini controls the units you can pick to fly. however if you change one up without changing the data else where you may mess up a campaign. also many of the planes stock decals (F-4, F-100) use the squadronlist to determine what markings which unit gets. i modify mine all the time due to a thing i do with my Phantoms. matter of fact might hafta do it again due to NF4 patch being released:boredom: originally thought this was SF2 forum , howver it should still apply to Gen1 -

you mean American airpower will no longer be providing 2000lb fishponds to those in the world who piss us off? -
i'm sorry i didnt know that a dead soldier was political bulls**t. if mohmar was so great and powerful maybe he would have used his warplanes against our fielded forces, not bombed a disco frequented by American Servicemen. back then our political leadership believed that you yank the American tiger by the tail, you should be prepared to deal with the teeth!
