[Renewed] YFA-5 Tactical Tiger
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
This is a mod of Mirage Factorys F-5E Tiger II to make it look like a fictional plane for the US air force.
BACKGROUND:
The need for a fast, agile and versatile attack plane led to the construction of this plane. The R&D department of Northrop Grumman went a more unorthodox way: They took the F-5E Tiger II contruction plans and started modyfing some of the parts and remodeling the fuselage, wings and interior fuselage ompartments. The improvements were astonishing, even for the engineers from Northrop Grumman. The entire hull is composed of a titanium alloy coating a skeleton of carbon fibre and a steel/titanium alloy, making possible a high loadout both under the wings and fuselage.
General Electric improved the former engines of this plane replacing the injection system, using less parts and reducing the weight of the engines by using different materials. This improvements lets the engine develop more than 30% dry and wet thrust than before.
Also the avionics and the radar got modified enabling the use of the most air-air and air-ground-weapons. The radar used is the AN/APG-70V1.
This made necessary the removal of the left gun leaving the muzzle there for cooling purpose of the new and advanced electronic equipment. The right gun was replaced with a 20mm M61A1-Gatling Gun.
The "TacTiger" made its maiden flight on the 18th of October of 2011 and entered service in 2012.
The Upgrade Includes :
- AN/APG-70V1 AESA RADAR
- NEW AVIONICS
- ATFLIR TARGETING POD
- AN/ALQ-13 NAVIGATION POD
- IFF SYSTEM
- NEW ENGINES
- NEW FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
- ENHANCED FLIGHT MODEL
- JHMCS PILOT
- NEW ECM JAMMING SYSTEM
ARMAMENT :
- AIM-9X SIDEWINDER
- AIM-120C AMRAAM
- ALL GPS GUIDED BOMB TYPES
- GBU-12D PAVEWAY 500LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
- GBU-24B PAVEWAY II 2000LB LASER GUIDED BOMB

[Renewed] Hispano-Suiza HS.304 Trueno (Thunder)
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
Fictional mod of the stock MiG-21MF to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish air force.
YOU WILL NEED BOTH SF2:E AND SF2:I AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!
BACKGROUND
In the end of the 1960s, the HA.210 Hidalgo got outdated due to the appearance of new fighters and weapons. The new Semi-Active Homing-Technology made the Hidalgo a easy target for medium and long-range attacks. A new fighter, able of carrying the allied equivalent, tha AIM-7 Sparrow, was needed. Hispano-Suiza and CASA competed in the production of this new plane.
Hispano-Suiza won the competition with the fighter called "Trueno". The design was sleak but robust. The maiden-flight of the plane was on the 21st of January of 1971 and the 111th and 113th squadron were supplied with this plane in December of the same year.

[Renewed] Boeing/Mitsubishi FA-18FJ Super Hornet
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
This is a mod of the Super Hornet F from EricJ to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, the actual minister of defense, Toshimi Kitazawa, wanted the air force to be more powerful and well equipped than they are now. Even the F-2 and the F-15J and DJ seemed not to be modern enough. Kitazawa was of the opinion, with the rising of China and the becoming dangerous of northern Korea, the air force as main line of defense had to grow in strength.
During that same year, Japan and the US signed a contract over more than 120 planes, primarily F-Type, of the Super Hornet. Being modified by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for being capable of using the modern japanese missiles.
Being odd at first sight, the new aggressor camo of the first squadron to receive the plane reflects the mood of its pilots, showing the enemy that there will be no retreat..just like Samurai. The unperfect camo concerning some stains along the colour borders are wanted and shall recall the japanese calligraphy.
The first planes will enter service in 2012 in the 8th, 302nd, 303rd and 305th Hikotai.
INSTALLATION:
Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.

[Fictional] Lockheed F-90 Sentinel for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
Fictional mod of the stock MiG-15bis to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the USAF and the USMC.
YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE BOTH EXPANSION PACKS. OTHERWISE THE PLANE WON'T SHOW UP!
BACKGROUND
In January of 1950, a soviet spy operating in Japan got uncovered by the local secret service. His task was to spy on local american industrial and military efforts in Japan and, at the same time, to hamper the secret services of both Japan and the US. The hampering was a top priority mission, since the Soviet Union was transferring fighter aircraft using container ships from Vladivostok to the communist movements in China and Korea.
Since the punishment for spying is death, the russian spy hoped to escape that fate by collaborating with the locals and asking for political asylum. In exchange, he offered top secret information for his life.
Among many interesting details concerning military and internal matters, the soviet spy also revealed, that the container ships were transporting weapons, heavy material and a new combat aircraft. All that goods were hidden in between
food and health supplies. Tanks and weapon caches got covered with huge tarpaulins, which were then covered with rice or grain shipments.
This information was but nothing compared to the fact, that the new soviet jet fighter, the MiG-15, was transported in large containers which were declared containing agricultural equipment and even toys.
The spy handed out a coded document, which contained all transports including their shipment and their routes. With the pretense of a security control, the japanese coast guard and some american marines boarded one of the ships containing the "Fagot". After a short firefight, where three of the crewmen, one japanese and one american soldier died, the crew surrendered and the control team was able to inspect the containers, finding twelve fully operational MiGs, destined to northern Korea. The ship was re-routed to Yokohama, where a CIA-operated containership brought the aircraft to the US. The Soviet Union accused the US of stealing goods from one of their ships, not stating the kind of goods.
After having presented these accusations during a United Nations conference two weeks later, the representatives of several countries wanted to know from the soviet delegate what exactly had been stolen. The soviet delegate refused to answer and stated, that the matter had already been discussed in between the ambassadors of both countries (during a secret meeting). The Soviet Union had to fear harsh international reactions and economical damage when it came out, that the country was selling weapons the "contraband"-style.
Back in the US, the fighter did undergo several testings, specially concerning acceleration and manouverability checks. It was also tested, how much damage this aircraft was able to bear before crashing down.
All test pilots agreed that the MiG was not that easy to fly, but that it pardoned a lot.
The ministry of defense, after the evaluation of the results, got of the opinion, that it would be a great enrichment to use this technology for their own aircraft industry and started a competition parting from the MiG-15.
North American, Bell and Lockheed got under the final three with their designs resulting in Lockheed being the winner with the F-90 Sentinel. Their aircraft was the existing MiG, using different materials, engine and armament but preserving the flight characteristics of the plane.
The engine was changed to the Pratt & Whitney J48, which had to be slightly adapted to the fuselage of the aircraft. The cannons of the MiG got replaced with two 20mm M3 and one 37mm M4 Cannons for targets with heavier armor.
It's maiden flight was on the 19th of May of 1951. Two squadrons in the USAF and one USMC squadron received the Sentinel.
While the USAF used the aircraft for anti-air missions, the USMC Sentinels performed ground support and striking sorties.
The Sentinel entered service on the 24th of August of 1951 in the USAF and 9th of September of 1951 in the USMC.

[Fictional] Eurofighter EF-2000IQ Al I'ssar (Typhoon)
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
Fictional Mod of Bongodrivers fantastic EF-2000 to create a plane for the iraqi air force. It includes modifications according to Trench 3.
BACKGROUND
After three conflicts with heavy losses, the iraqi air force got almost completely destroyed. The fall of Saddam Hussein and the political system turning from dictatorship to democracy made it necessary to accept foreign help in reconstructing the country. This also meant the rebuilding of the air force.
In this matter, a meeting of actual british prime minister and his colleague in the iraqi government took place in London, where a contract was meant to be signed about the purchase of 60 new, to the needs of the iraqi air force adapted, Typhoons. The modifications were, among others:
- added CFTs on the fuselage for the enhancement of the range
- highly upgraded ECM and electronic warfare systems
- modified engines with higher thrust
- use of western armament
The most important upgrade, the CFTs, were necessary due to the fact that the Al I'ssars (iraqi for Typhoon) had to takeoff from Bagdad and Al Sahra and had to travel a long way before reaching their patrolling routes.
Along with the Typhoons, Iraq signed a contract with Russia for the purchase of 60 Super Flanker with the designation SU-35IQ Asifat al Turab (Sandstorm).
Features :
- CFTs by teras
- Desert camouflage skin by nazghul
- new radar by teras
- new ecm systems by teras
- carrier based
- imporved engines by nazghul

A BIG BIG thanks to
USAFMTL (and various partners in crime) for his help and guidance and support.
Jimmybib and Sundowner for initial consultation on skinning and all credit to Sundowner for producing the final skins which are superb.
Moonjumper for his advice on some avionics matters
All of you for you encouragement and kind words through it's development
My Producers....etc...etc :) Oh god I'm going to cry..
Anyway I decided to release slightly early because I'd like some of you to enjoy tweaking this thing, theres a lot of talent out there who can make this thing great.
Absolutely no part of this is to be used in payware but moddify the model any way you wish and re distribute in your own freeware mods as you wish with no permission required from me, just give me the relevant credit.
have fun
