A plane I think is very interesting is the YAK-11 Trainer, derived from the Yak-3 with a radial engine that I feel is not a very smart decision for train young pilots but it served in several AF of the Warsaw pact and countries close to the Soviet Union. It even saw combat in Korean War and Yemen. I can find some info on Yemeni conflict: Egyptians used the aircraft extensively during their intervention in the Yemeni Civil war. Egyptian aircraft were modified with Sakr 78mm unguided rockets and two .303in guns in the wings (no idea if in pod or inside thee wing). And were used in the ground attack role. but nothing on Korean War, only that one was the first aircraft shoot down in June 1950. Some pics:

@Gepard Do you know if the guns used by the egyptians in Yemen were put into the wings or in underwing pods?

As we have several MAX artists and I don't own MAX, anyone know what are ARGs in MAX? I need to add some ARG's in a DCS MAX but have no idea what they're talking about. Maybe someone here could help.

Really interesting! Now imagine flying it with a combat load on hot skies of Yemen.

Dumb question about the two-seaters
Stratos replied to ThePony314's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
Don't think so, for SF2 there are some two seaters you can jump to the second cockpit, but as you cannot operate the gun doesn't make much sense anyways. -

WIPs by amariani
Stratos replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
i'm curious about one thing, are you updating the DATa of those birds? Racers are prone to engine failure and adding some skids on the belly will allow players to belly land... Yeah yeah I know, there's no engine damage in Sf2...
