View File B-47E by Coyote Aerospace BOEING B-47E STRATOJET by COYOTE AEROSPACE This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E through its career as SACs most numerous bomber. It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, all major units that could be represented are (in other skin packs) and the general paint schemes used during the appropriate eras are modded for the forward deployments known as Operation REFLEX. Further, new nuclear weapons have been included. To keep file sizes down somewhat, unit skins will be release by numbered air force and available in the SF2 Skins download section INSTALLATION unzip installation folder cut and paste to desired mods folder allow overwrites (some effects and weapons mainly) IF YOU HAVE THE B28 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALREADY FROM ANOTHER MOD use caution. I have set the nuclear weapons to a specific station code as NUC. Other mods featuring the B28 weapon do not have this yet, although i intend to do a comprehensive ini edit later this year across many weapons and aircraft INCLUDED B-47E(53) and B-47(57) aircraft Operation Reflex skins, and one unit skin for each aircraft) Period accurate M64 and M65 bombs B28 nuclear weapons, 350Kt and 1.1MT yields new Mk15 and MK39 nuclear weapons, 1.69 and 3MT yields short document on how best to employ the LABS technique in game with MK15 weapon CREDITS veltro2K .......................................... aircraft models daddyairplanes .......................................... skins, tgas, research, ini work on aircraft and weapons, constant nagging on models yakarov79 .......................................... testing and ini work GKABS ................................................... new MK15/39 nuclear weapon models russouk2004 ...............................................

I have a method figured out for it, but we would need someone to model the horsecollar device with 33 JATO bottles - Not every upgrade to the Stratojet is modeled. Again, there were 1300+ aircraft built, and 6 phases for upgrades. The (53) roughly represents the aircraft after introduction, the (57) in between Phase 3 and 4. Anyone that would like to work any fakepilot mods to represent each of the 6 phases, as well as modifications like TEE TOWN would be welcomed. - while online sources state the 341st Bomb Wing operated Stratojets, veteran and book sources could not even find proof of operation, let alone marking information (they came through on all other Wings). Therefore I have not included this Bomb Wing in the mod. - The "afterburner" trick to use water injection on take off is in effect, from 99-100%. If you want realism, and to not be visible across the continent, dont exceed 97% power in flight. ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by Coyote Aerospace.
