If you have a chance to vote with your wallet and your voice, head over to Third Wire’s site and buy some of their sims. Even little things like giving my AV-8B some extra smoke and the custom radio commands.they all combine to make Strike Fighters 2 an exceptionally fun game. There are so many people that contribute to these mods that it is impossible to name them all. Once again, a fantastic job by the modders, aircraft designers, campaign creators, and special effects guys at CombatAce. My new Pilot Record gives the details of this fresh DiD start. The mission debrief indicates my mission success with just under an hours worth of flying and two hits with my 1000 lb.
remaining – enough to have tried about one more attempt, but that’s about it. Whew – those last few minutes were the most tense of the whole mission! A glance at the fuel gauge shows about 760 lbs. This time the approach looks good and I ease the Harrier down onto the deck, chop the throttle, and set the brakes. As we climb out to the east the fleet maneuvers below… With the mission planning done, we head to the deck and a minute later we are off the deck using about 45° of vectored thrust and climbing away into Stary’s beautiful SARCASM 2.0 skies. I don’t know if that is in any way historically accurate, but I don’t really care – I’m just out to make things go BOOM with Strike Fighters 2! Our two-ship flight will carry Sidewinder missiles, and bombs I’ve never used before – 1000 lb. A crap ton of other aircraft will be operating from bases in Israel and adjacent Carrier Task Forces, so the skies will be busy. A look at the planning map shows the disposition of forces, with Russian task forces bracketing our route to the east. On our first mission we draw a strike on Tsaikal Airbase in Syria with fuel tanks as our intended target. Our Harrier squadron will be based offshore in the Med as part of the Marine Amphibious Group 1. That guy may be a rookie.but damn he’s handsome! Playing the campaign using the “Dead Is Dead” rules, I create a new pilot with fresh statistics. You probably don’t need to be Tom Clancy to build some plausibility into that scenario. The campaign map is extensive with a basic premise that stands up to reason – Israel is surrounded, their neighbors are angry, and war ensues. You’ll find some notes at the end of the article on where you can find the War for Israel campaign as well as some links. While not as fancy as some of the other aircraft you can fly in the campaign, the Harrier has that certain challenge that appeals to me. In this second attempt at a “Dead Is Dead” campaign in Strike Fighters 2, we once again visit a hotspot of the Middle East…įor this campaign we are going to give the Strike Fighters 2 War for Israel “Club Med” theater a whirl flying the awesome USMC AV-8B Harrier.
