Turns out I based my markings for VA-34 on their CVA-60 1961-62 Mediterranean cruise on the USS Saratoga but during their detachment to the USS Essex for the 'Bay of Pigs' Operation their aircraft still wore the markings (including the Carrier name) of their 1960-61 CVA-60 Med cruise on Saratoga. I have updated accordingly and included a 'Red' Cuban FAR Campaign flying the T-33 or Sea Fury. I also forgot to credit Nyghtfall for his tireless work on the Scooters including the templates I used.

VA-34 'Blue Blasters' A-4B 1960-1961: 'Bay of Pigs' April 1961: 1961-1962:

I have used the 'KnownAce[xx]' feature in the campaign data.ini to use the names and ranks of the actual pilots from the Operation: The Cuban FAR pilots who scored air-to-air victories in real life. The actual CO, XO and Ops Officer of VA-34. The CIA/ ANG pilots who flew for the Cuban Rebels.

Sorry guys mistakes in both the B-26B and C. Please them delete both completely and redownload the Beta for the fixed versions. If you just override the old ones without deleting you will still have problems.

Bay of Pigs (small) campaign addon for Operation Tainted Cigar for SF2.... Beta released here:

I am releasing this as a BETA for you guys to try out and give feed back on. You WILL need OTC for SF2 installed and you WILL need SF2NA as part of your base game installation. StrikeFighters2 BOP OTC addon BETA.7z TO INSTALL: Unpack the files and out into your 'StrikeFighters2 OTC' mods folder. You MUST overide when prompted!!! It will not affect the OTC campaigns and objects in anyway. The aim of this addon to fly as the A-4B Skyhawk in the air-to-air role as planned if Kennedy hadn't massively reduced the planned air support by the Navy at the last minute. But you can also fly in the ground support role as a Rebel/ CIA B-26B "During Bay of Pigs VA-34 A-4B Skyhaks from the USS Essex flew a CAP/ escort mission with the intention of protecting the Rebal A-26 Invaders but due to a timing cock up were an hour late and missed engaging the Cuban T-33A fighters. They also flew multiple reconnaissance flights over the invasion beach throughout the incident. Due to President Kennedy insisting that there be no proof of US involvement the Skyhawks had their USN markings painted over. This was one of the first VSF Skyhawk detachments and the A-4B could not carry the AIM-9 at this point so Skyhawks operating over Cuba just had two wing drop tanks plus thier 20mm cannons." Credit goes to eburger68 and the team who made OTC: Wrench for the T-33 WhiteBoySamurai for the long hull Essex I turned into the LPH-4 Timmy, Bobrock, Hgbn and Wrench for the A-26

These are the USAF F-4E by Ravenclaw_007 and his team The RNZAF skins/ variants are a mod of mine I have never released

Ok will do

Just noticed alternative cockpit lod is missing from the new upload

2.3: - New AGM-78D model (thanks ravenclaw_007!!!) Data/ loadout/ campaign ini adjusted accordingly. * (Kurnass 78 & 2000 will now use AGM-78D but AGM-78D Egrof Sagol is still included for use by Israeli F-16D as it is a rail launched version. The standard AGM-78D will drop and then fire but still use the ARM rail correctly on the Kurnass 78 & 2000 - Texture corrections for F-4E Kurnass 78 & F-4E Kurnass 2000 drop tanks.
