My expectations are: no more sitting ducks bombers formations, decent wingmen who follow orders and are smart enough to engage ground targets... Hope it will be in!

Does this mean that, at last, we'll get a decent AI?

But is no longer SP4 compatible. And I guess it's not the same map too. ;)

An earlier campaign can be made more easily, as almost all planes are existing.

French speaking (so essentially french ones) specialised press and magazines have made a few issues on that bird. She was designes as a sort of concurrent for bireactor such as the F-15 and the Tornado. As the support for the plane by the french state disappaered following the oil crisis of 1979 and the subsequent economic crise in 1980's France, the project became "dassault only". The Mirage 2000 was at that time seen as a better solution: lighter, cheaper. But France will lack a true heavy and powerfull interceptor "F-15 like". Actually, the only hope for the plane was a saoudi contract (I have read, also of an Iraki interest), that may have triggered a french command and other exportations. Unfortunately, they didn't choose it, so the plane was eventually cancelled. I would like to see that bird in SF series! :yes:

Where is French airforce?

Hi there! I just got IL2-1946 and I am wondering wether there are some must-download patches and/or mods for my new game? I'm quite used to the thirdwire Wings over somewhere series, so, I'm quite used to patches. Does IL2-1946 need some? Thanks!

Hi there. Soon three month of enjoyement of the campaign... But I've an idea: I would like to fly red now, in MiG-23 or MiG-21. What changes can I do to fly for Paran?

I do thank you a lot, gentleman! :) So, there are no mods for the game? No new campaigns or flyable planes, then?

Reminds me of such an occurence in a Fighter Anthology flight. I was shoot down by... a MBT!

I concurr. What would be great too would be to have some AAA or SAM escorting armoured units.

Hi there! As I got WoV, I'm enjoying this campaign. Some thought: is it WAD that Aussies Mirages do not have drop tanks? - my MiG 29's are very, very, very sluggish... Not even supersonics - The postcombustion flame of the MiG-23 is not there.

Would be great! :yes:

Hi there! Twice, I've seen something quite strange in campaigns. One time in Nato Fighters, the other time in the marvellous Harrier campaign. Here is my latest experience: flying Dhimari F-5, I got only Mk-82 bombs, roquets, mavericks and Aim-9 (D, I think). Then, all of a sudden, a whole list of weapons were available: Aim-9 D, P, L; lots of CBU, rockets and other guided weapons! Well, I suppose this is not WAD, and say to me: hey, let's stay "role playing" and do just as an US cargo ship has brought some supplies and top of the art Sidewinder for testing. But is this normal or a bug? Is there a solution? Thank, guy!

Indeed, I often play in "long". I know that it's not recommanded in Harrier read me, so I usually set to normal. I may have forgotten this time. But thanks for the answer, gentlemen! Now, I'm aware that it comes from game engine and that I did not f..... up anything.

I always set the preferences to "limited", that's also why I am so surprised! :)

Hi there! Where the hell did you found that libyan picture? Have you any other?

Parani Il-28 does not bear any marks in my games. By the way, I'have installed Polak's tiles and want to remove them. Any suggestions?

It's actually normal. :yes:

Is the campaign compatible with polak's desert tiles? I've installed them, and it seems to be ok, but I want to be sure.

As for Armée de l'Air, they switched by the mid-60's or early 70's too, when the european-camoed Mirage III-E entered service. Around the same time, Mirage III-C got their "aerial defense blue", whereas older "nudes" planes where phased out. But I do remember some Super mystère or F-100 pictures, in the late 70, with sort of Desert or SEA camo, flying from Djibouti.

Oh, nice pic! So "cold-warish" Euro-camo F-4 always remember me of a Calvin and hobbes strip, when Calvin is building (at least trying) a F-4 model. It also reminds me of good ol' A-10 Tank Killer!

Right then. I must admit that I'm really not a specialist of US air force. In a French magazine on the USAFE, I saw some F-4 in Euro camo (photos dated to the 80's, indeed), and I found them georgous. But as I prefer history closeness, no problem with the SEA scheme then.

I there, just a new suggestion: I've just found that there is some euro camo for the F-4 in NF: why don't make it standart skin for US F-4 instead of the SEA one?

Interested, I am! :yes:
