[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.

[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
- AGM-65G MAVERICK TV GUIDED MISSILE
- L003 ECM JAMMING POD
INSTALLATION:
Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.

Vought F-8S Cisne (Swan) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Vietnam or Quad-Merged)
I modded the stock F-8E Crusader from SFP:V to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish navy.
SETTING
Before Spain got the AV-8 Harrier for maritime service, a plane with sufficient capabilities for sea-attack and dogfight was needed. After some checking of cost and use of several planes, the spanish ministery of defense decided to buy the F-8 Crusader and to build them under license. No changes were made. Simply the name was different.

[Fictional] A/F-24J 'Oni' (Demon)
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
Fictional mod of Julhelm great A/F-24 to create a fighter plane for the japanese air self defense force.
Background:
Japan wanted to replace their ageing F-4EJ planes from the 302nd Hikotai. In order to be able to perform attacks without prior detection by the enemy, Japan was interested in buying the F-22. Resulting too expensive for their budget, the Pentagon offered Japan the Shadowcat as a cheaper solution. The JASDF named their plane 'Oni' (Demon) which was the sensation the plane should cause at the enemy.
Installation:

[Fictional] Hispano-Suiza HA.210 Hidalgo
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
Hispano-Suiza HA.210 Hidalgo (Nobleman) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Quad-Merged)
I modded the stock MiG-17F from SFP:I to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish air force.
BACKGROUND
The HA.200 Saeta, the precessor of the Hidalgo, was Spains first real jetfighter. But it didn't have enough power to stand a dogfight. So it was degraded to a trainer for the spanish piloting school.
While trying to improve the plane and creating the HA.220 Super Saeta, another team of Hispano-Suizas R&D department was involved in the planification and construction of a plane able to be some worthy opponent in close dogfights.
Three years later, the Hidalgo did it's maiden flight. The US was shocked about the capabilities of this tiny plane.
Spain used this plane for long time, offering US-pilots a chance to test their dogfighting skills in their F-86 Sabres. The plane presented here was part of the Ala 6.

[Fictional] Saab/Mitsubishi JF-35F Draken
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
SAAB/Mitsubishi JF-35J Draken for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
I modded the fictional F-13 Draken from Spinners to make it look like a fictional fighter and recon plane for the japanese self defense force.
BACKGROUND
Due to some cuttings in the budget of the military administration, the JASDF was forced to look for some suitable substitute for the Starfighter, which became more and more expensive in maintenance.
US-Planes still remained expensive, Soviet planes were no alternative due to pacts Japan was bound to. Sweden, as a neutral country not belonging to the Warsaw Pact, offered a good alternative with the J-35 Draken. Japan ordered two complete squadrons and dropped the Starfighter.

[Fictional] C-24 / C-24B Super Hornet
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
[Fictional] C-24 / C-24B Super Hornet
This is a mod of the Super Hornets E and F from EricJ to make them look like planes from the spanish air force.
BACKGROUND:
In 2010, command of the EDA asked for the possibility of replacing their EF-18As and Bs with the more advanced E and F versions. Diplomacy made it possible that the Obama administration would take the old planes back and make a special offer. In 2012, the first squadrons received the new planes. Since the former Hornets wore the designation "C-15", the Super Hornets ought to have been designated C-15VA and CB-15VA, but these designations were too long so the Super Hornets were then called "C-24".

Dassault-Breguet Sagette (Arrow) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Europe or Merged)
I modded the stock MiG-21SM from SFP:E to make it look like a fictional fighter for the french air force.
BACKGROUND
After the retirement of the Farandole II, several french fighter wings got the Mystere IVA. Complaints about lacking engine power and fire power led to the development of the Sagette, which was a more versatile and powerful fighter, easy to fly and and with reasonable armament. This plane entered active service in 1971, replacing the Mystere IVA.
This plane was also able to carry the new R530 IR and radar guided missiles, which gave the plane even more firepower.

[Fictional] MiG-29EE Aeronautica Militare Italiana
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
Mikoyan Gurevych MiG-29EE Aeronautica Militare Italiana for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
I modded the MiG-29 from The Mirage Factory to make it look like a fictional fighter for the italian air force.
BACKGROUND
The cooperation with IAI in developing the MiG-29I Shu'Al demonstrated the Mikoyan Gurevych OKB the possiblities and rentability of exporting the plane to the West with some modifications.
As a modern and at the same time relatively cheap fighter compared to other western planes, the MiG-29EE was the result of the adaptation of the plane to the needs of the western air forces. The abbreviation EE stands for 'Europe Export'. Since the cold war was over and the "enemy" was no longer existing, Mikoyan Gurevych OKB had no problems in offering one of the best planes of the former Soviet Union to european countries.
Italy was quite interested in the MiG-29EE. First deliveries of this model were efectuated in 1993. The 32° Stormo, 13° Gruppo was the first squadron to receive the MiG-29EE and this way replacing their Tornados.

Portugal, whose military still suffered from budget restrictions, decided to replace the expensive F-16 with the more affordable MiG-29EE and equipped the 201st Squadron with this type while the 301st had to wait to replace the Dragao with the MiG-29.

[Fictional] FA-18I Akav (Buzzard)
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
This is a mod of the Super Hornet F from EricJ to make it look like a plane from the israeli air force.
BACKGROUND:
In the final years of the first decade of the 21st century, Israel decided to replace their F-16C and D-Models (Barak) with a new type of fighter/bomber.
The only really fitting model for type of missions was the FA-18 Super Hornet.
The decision of either taking the E or F-model was decided in favor of the F-model due to the fact that two crewmembers would bring a better performance during the missions. The squadrons of the IAF equipped with the adapted Version, the Akav, were the 116th Squadron "Defenders of the South" and the 140th Squadron, "The Golden Eagle".

[Fictional] Eurofighter EFJ Typhoon
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
This is a mod of the EF-2000 Typhoon from Bongodriver to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2007, the JASDF opened a competition for the next generation plane. Among the competitors are the Super Hornet, the F-35 and the Typhoon. The Rafale was not part of the competition because of the fear, that american planes could be favourized. Nevertheless, Eurofighter threw the Typhoon into competition. There will be no decision until November 2011(Janes Information Group).
The EFJ Typhoon represents a possible version of the japanese Typhoon in the case it should become the winner of the competition. The plane will enter service in 2013 becoming part of the 3rd and the 6th Hikotai, replacing the single-seater F-2. While the 3rd Hikotai wears the standard grey camo, the 6th Hikotai wears the standard two-tone blue camo also worn by the F-2.

[Fictional] SAAB/Mitsubishi JAS39EJ Gripen
By ValAstur in What If Hangar
This is a mod of the JAS-39C from the Gripen Team to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
BACKGROUND:
After having had good experiences during the first joint venture between SAAB and Mitsubishi and the high grade of acception of the japanese Draken by the JASDF-Pilots, the ministry of defense initiated a new joint venture. The swedish Gripen was now to be "nipponized". Pilots of the JASDF went to Sweden to fly the Gripen and push her to the limit, testing her capabilities. The Pilots were amazed how easy it was to fly the Gripen.
Back in Japan, the Pilots reported their experiences to their superiors what led to an order of 120 planes, mainly single-seater. The first planes arrived during the first months of 2006, were they had to undergo changes in electronics, adapting them to japanese JASDF-Standards. The 8th Hikotai and the 305th Hikotai were the first squadrons receiving the Gripen. This plane was the first wearing the new JAMPAT-Camo in service.
INSTALLATION:
Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.
