Mission: OCA Strike against Ahvaz AB Assets: 2 x Strike Aircraft (F/A-18F) and 2 x Escort (F/A-18F) Target: Shiraz AB Runway Left Ali Al Salem, NE103 developed same issue with Arming System and after deliberation NE110 was sent anyways solo. NE111 and NE108 provided escort. NE110 proceeded to Ahvaz without incident and ten minutes into the flight 2 F-4Es left out of Bushehr in which the Escort flight intercepted. NE111 also had issues with the AIM-120C missiles, expending all and none flew to the targeted aircraft. NE111 fired one AIM-9X and destroyed the aircraft. It became quite apparent squadron air to air skills have deteriorated as NE111 ended up in front of remaining F-4E. NE110 had to engage remaining fighter, in his opinion, "It shouldn't take two aircraft to down a [expletive removed] Iranian F-4!" NE110 fired one AIM-120C and destroyed remaining F-4E. NE110 destroyed Ahvaz airport with one GBU-31 and engaged two HAWK CWARs at Ahvaz and Omediyeh Army Station. No other threats presented themselves and Ahvaz suffered extensive damage, and all aircraft returned safely. Be advised Bushehr is next, only it's going to require some planning. Air recon mission planned for (Game time) the night.

lol I think he meant "painting" Intake patch detail. needs to be touched up but looks a lot better than the original. Note this is a request from Viggen, which I don't see him having a problem making this available for public download. -

Mission: Strike against Bandar-e Kangan Silkworm Battery Assets: 2 x Strike Aircraft (F/A-18F) and 2 x Escort (F/A-18F) Target: Comm/Control Building Deployed 2 hours after previous Shiraz AB strike, NE111 and NE108 on order from USCENTCOM, flew to Bandar-e Kangan to permit freedom of movement of the Persian Gulf. Aircraft departed Ali Al Salem at 1005 local and did not encounter any hostile aircraft though AWACS did inform flight of two Seaqeh leaving Tehran. No other aircraft were spotted in the AOR. Upon approach NE108 (Ens Sheets) fired one AGM-65E Maverick, destroying the target and surrounding buildings. Tor-M1 systems were spotted and engaged by NE111 acting as cover for the inexperienced NE108, destroying three systems and one HAWK CWAR system. Two of the three Tor systems were engaged in Bandar-e Kangan civilian areas. No reported civilian casualties. All aircraft returned unharmed.

Me: F/A-18F w/ 1 x ATFLIR, 2 x AGM-65E, 2 x AGM-154 JSOW, 3 x AIM-9X, 2 x AIM-120C Opposition: F-7M Airguard Stand-In with 2 x PL-5s... I think The fight started off neutral and since Operation Darius is off and running I decided to keep my loadout to what I'm used to fighting with. Anyway the F-7M isn't terribly difficult to fight against, just remember that it's a derivative of the MiG-21 and to expect it to fight like one, and you won't be disappointed. It got me in an energy circle for a couple of turns and after nosing up it decided to keep on for a few seconds and tried to force me to overshoot. I applied the speedbrakes and decelerated (which the stock Fox Super Hornet doesn't have a problem doing). After letting him get cocky I fed him a 9X, shooting him down (which it took a bit for him to splash in the water) but otherwise it was fairly straightforward. Takeaways is that it's a derivative of the MiG-21 so fighting it like a MiG-21 will get you the same results.

Mission: OCA Strike against Omidiyeh AB Assets: 2 x Strike Aircraft (F/A-18F) and 2 x Escort (F/A-18F) Target: Shiraz AB Runway Flight of 2 x aircraft (NE100 and NE102) left Ali Al Salem at 0830 local hours and headed for Shiraz AB. Shiraz had 2 x Tomcat on CAP and 3 x Seaqeh. Upon flying east vicinity Kuwait City the USS Ticonderoga fired on both Tomcats, destroying the aircraft. NE106 and NE109 met the attackers, with NE106 having defective AIM-120s (exploded in midair, will have maintenance check current lot) and expended all AIM-120s (all five), but engaged one Seaqeh with AIM-9X and destroyed aircraft. NE109 had a similar issue with one missile, but managed to fire a working version and destroyed one Seaqeh. NE106 also fired one AIM-9X and destroyed the remaining Seaqeh. Proceeded to target but was engaged by HAWK system, wingman survived but due to heavy surface to air missile fire I had to press onto the target. Engaged an SA-5 radar (Square Pair) with one AGM-88C, destroying it. Managed to reach Shiraz and employed one GBU-31, severely damaging the runway. After multiple missiles Ens Smith managed to survive, and NE100 attacked the Hawk CWAR with the remaining JDAM striking the CWAR north of Bushehr (Bushehr AD Battery 1), destroying it. All remaining aircraft landed safely.

Sukhoi T-50 fighter?

AleDucat and the Argentinians have been working on it since the beginning of time but so far haven't released it yet. Though I think it's just information gathering as opposed to any delays.
