New DLC: Iranian F-14A
MigBuster replied to arthur666's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Yep - this came from another aviation forum regarding the 5th Jan 99 engagement (Other was 9th Sept) From someone who was in during that time and is still in navy aviation... VF-213 was intent on getting AIM-54 kills if a situation presented itself on that cruise. They practiced AIM-54 shots up to taking Southern Watch. The only problem was, a new AO (ordnanceman) had checked onboard recently with no Tomcat experience. (I don't have any either BTW, navy sent me elsewhere). He loaded the arming shoe? for all 4 AIM-54s on that flight backwards, so that when they were fired, the rocket arming pins sheered instead of being pulled. Each F-14 fired one, but once they dropped like Mk-54s vice firing off like AIM-54s, they cancelled the intercept. The Mig-25s were in the heart of the AIM-54 envelope and most definitely would have resulted in 2 high speed kills. -
New DLC: Iranian F-14A
MigBuster replied to arthur666's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
To clarify - this applies to one of the F-14Ds in OSW (1999) - the ordy put the arming shoe or whatever on backwards it has been said Unfortunately - the above is not proof that the ECCM was not downgraded - because these is no evidence to suggest the ECM pods etc in use by the Iraqis were functioning or could use the correct modes, frequencies to jam the missile properly etc - basically even downgraded AIM-54s could still have been good enough for the job. Iranian F-14As never got the IRST because they wanted to wait for the TCS - but they never received it because of the revolution etc -

Does that not work anymore? SpecificStationCode=AIM4 Would assume you get the F-14 dll avionics and models - so yes a big part of SF2NA -
Why SF2 F5 looks different to the real one?

Is the photo to scale? What nationality is that F-5E - I seem to be seeing long noses in most photos -
Hmmm - even if they dont their conventional stuff would do immense damage to Seoul and the civi populous etc - probably the reason we stick up with them.

RIP - lucky there weren't more casualties

Yep familiar format - far fetched here and there and embarrassing presidential speeches - but pretty exciting stuff still and the Koreans are the bad guys - but check out the AC-130! if you liked Die Hard 1 and Under Seige 1 then cant go wrong with this.

Which ArkRoyal Did we have First?
MigBuster replied to usafphantom2's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - World War II Forum
Ark Royal (91) was a unique ship - nothing like the post war one - the best model to use is the old Eagle Straight deck model from the carrier pack which has model men on the deck - I probably wont get round to doing the korean war and WW2 era for a while yet. -

HMCS Bonaventure (CVL22) with Hi Res deck
MigBuster posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: HMCS Bonaventure (CVL22) with Hi Res deck File Submitter: MigBuster File Submitted: 03 May 2013 File Category: Aircraft Carriers HMCS Bonaventure (CVL22) ------------------------- 1957 to 1960s era style deck HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) was a Majestic class aircraft carrier. She served in the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Forces Maritime Command from 1957 to 1970 and was the third and the last aircraft carrier to serve Canada. The ship was laid down for the British Royal Navy as HMS Powerful in November 1943. At the end of World War II, work on the ship was suspended in 1946. At the time of purchase, it was decided to incorporate new aircraft carrier technologies into the design. Bonaventure never saw action during her career having only peripheral, non-combat roles. However, she was involved in major NATO fleet-at-sea patrol during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Click here to download this file -

Ark Royal R09 was commissioned in 1955: wiki: Ark Royal was the first ship to be constructed with an angled flight deck and steam catapults, as opposed to having them added after launching
