[MatteLeDog]

The Embraer AMX, strike/close support aircraft used by Brazil and Italy, 2 versions included, one camoflauge with no country markings and one grayish blue with Brazilian AF markings.

The gray blue Brazilian:

And the camofluage one:

I checked them in game before so they should work fine.

Oh nice. I enjoy! Hurrahs! Perhaps Yon couldst tackle a helicopter? I would be loving to see a Mangusta before Mine Brithing Day!

What the heck. Did I snort something?

Uhm I have mostly jet aircraft planned at the moment, helicopters might
come along eventually though, however it is all a matter of the availability of models, I'm pretty sure Wyrmshadow is planning to make some helicopters after SOE is done.

Okay then.. um.. please make (grabs his Big book of military aircraft and opens to a random page) British Aerospace Strikemaster. Or something else.

very nice indeed- I sense a new unit master in the makes.

One thing though is the nose- the way it is coloured in the "tiger stripes" cammo I first almost mistook it for the tornado (before I even learned that it actualy shares some elements with that plane). Will there be a version without the built-in nose radar?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Very good!

I like the way it looks like the plane is having to crash land in the death anim!

Thanks I'm not quite sure what you mean with a version without the built in nose radar, the Camoflauge pattern I made myself in photoshop, it's not 100% realistic, but I did find lots of different paint schemes that this aircraft was in, the blue version should really be more light blue to be really realistic but that would have interfeared with the civ color I think. I made two versions since it's used by two countries.

Interesting aircraft, the next ones will be a few PLAAF fighters though.

Sweeet! Nice job, Matt! And, Wyrm? Yes, you do

This one would be interesting if you have a modle for it J-10

 

[Wyrmshadow]

nope, I'm his source. And since I don't have one, neither will he.

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

like that one has the nose radar (similar to the Tornado) while this other one (prototype?) doesn't have it

No sorry, as Wyrm said no model.

Ah ok I understand, but I don't think there will be another version of the AMX
in the near future, at least not from me.

First PLAAF aircraft up is the J-XX (J-12, J-13?)

"The Chinese aviation industry began the preliminary research for China’s 4th generation fighter programme in the mid-1990s. In 1998 the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) reported that an advanced F/A-22-class twin-engine stealth fighter known as J-12 was under development at Shenyang. Later in 2003 an Internet source photo revealed a fighter mockup for wind tunnel test which may be linked to the J-12 project. As more details of the fighter began to emerge, it was understood that the fighter will also be fitted with an internal weapon bay and possibly active phased array radar."

I love penguins!

Bummer well it was worth finding out.

 

[Goldflash]

Kinboat made a J-10.

 

[Wyrmshadow]

Kinboat made a J-10.

but some thought it too cartoonish

 

[NavyDawg]

First off, great second unit(s). Secondly, I applaude you for making some PLAAF units. Suggestions:
F-8 Finback - fighter/interceptor - involved in the Apr 2001 EP-3 incident
FB-7 Flounder - modern fighter/bomber
A-5 Fantan - cheesy attack plane
Su-27 - Russian plane, but the Chinese will build some of their own

I have a good student.

Congrats to Student and Master both. Fine work.
