Classic Brit Military in SF2
Posted: 15 Mar 2011, 12:48
I've posted some screenies from SF2 on here before - Harrier GR.3s in that case, but I've been testing some add-on aircraft in the last few days, in conjunction with the 'Ordnance Shop II' and 'RAF Weapon Pack' add-ons and I have to say that some of the classic Brit aircraft are fantastic.
For a start there is a collection of just about every type of Seahawk that was built, sporting great VCs and mixed loadouts, I test flew the F1 and the FGA.4 - all are very smart and also difficult to plant the ordnance exactly where you want it.
I don't know if the Matra rocket pods were around at the time of the Seahawks, but they were the most effective for me, at hitting the ground targets in CAS missions.
There was also a Tornado with some amazing weaponry - unfortunately I just can't work out how to use the Paveway laser guided bombs, but some of the others are really awe-inspiring in their destructive capability.
Very much like a 'What If' RAF version of the Gripen 'FGR1'- amazing stuff.
There are plenty of others, too, like the Hunters, Lightnings and Phantoms. I'll post some screenies later today - am on my netbook at the mo.
At the prices of these excellent sims, the SF2 series is well worth a look. Be aware, though, that the emphasis is on combat, rather than systems. It does have good 'antique' radar simulation, though.
