Misión: STRIKE FIGHTER (Hornet Mission of the Week)

✪ Plane: F/A-18C Hornet Lote-20
✪ Location: Persian Gulf
✪ Files: Mission
✪ Type: AG Strike / AA
✪ Credits: Wags

Situation:
Over western Iraq on day one of Operation Desert Storm, United States Navy F/A-18C Hornets operating off the USS Saratoga in the Red Sea racked up the first air-to-air kills by Hornets. This mission also showcased the Hornet’s ability to rapidly transition from an air-to-air engagement to delivering bombs on target. This mission is not a recreation of that mission, but rather takes inspiration from it. An outstanding insight into the historical engagement can be found here on the Fighterpilot Podcast.

Template: JANE'S F-15 IRAN IADS TEMPLATE

Download: Here (version 1.4)

Based on the Iran Campaign template from Jane's F-15, this template tries to replicate the IADS from Jane's F-15, although mostly only in the detailed areas of the Persian Gulf map with SAM sites, AAA-sites, radar sites, Silkworm batteries, and a few ammunition depots, and I added defenses, ammunition depots and a radar base at Jask. Not 100% accurate at the moment, and not every AAA battery and SAM site is replicated. This template is fully compatible with MacadamCow's "Power Plants and Weapon Factory - Static Template" and "Oil Rigs And Gas Platforms". I've even placed air defenses near MacadamCow's Weapon Factory (which coincidentially is fairly close to a Chemical Weapons plant which is attacked in the Jane's F-15 Iran Campaign). I also placed a few UAE Patriot missile batteries near the UAE air bases. Somewhat work in progress if Eagle Dynamics add more defenses or static objects I may update. Place in mission folder. Depending on your computer hardware, there could be some stuttering. I have no major issues running at 1080p, graphical settings at high, shadows at low, and with MSAA, depth of field, lens effects, motion blur, SSAA and anisotropic filtering turned off. Your milage may vary.

Misión: OPERACIÓN DESERT EAGLE 2

✪ Plane: F/A-18C Hornet
✪ Map: Persian Gulf
✪ Type: Strike
✪ Files: Mission (ver 2.1)
✪ Credits: Werewolf

SITUACION:
El enemigo a retrocedido tras las exitosas últimas operaciones. Las fuertes pérdidas en hombres y equipo sufridas tras las acertadas intervenciones de la aviación aliada han ayudado a avanzar al interior de las provincias de FARS y BANDAR ABBAS e iniciar operaciones  en la provincia de KERMAN. Con este último objetivo en mente inteligencia a dado con uno de los principales centros de mando de la región, y al parecer se celebrara en dicho bunker, entorno a las 12;45 hora local, una importante reunión de la mayor parte de la cúpula militar enemiga. Se iniciaran operaciones a fin de eliminar este suculento objetivo cuanto antes.
