New Unit: F22 Raptor

[snsfro]

Air Force only, although a ground attack variant is planned, the F/A-22. Niether would be able to land or take off on carriers though.

Guess I'll have to wait for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter for a stealth plane to use carriers. Maybe you can make that when you get the chance BeBro.

You wouldn't call a plane able to carry 2 2000lb Jdam bombs ground attack able?

 

[snsfro]

Well, its no A10, but it does have a good vulcan gun and the
F-117 is now classified as an attacker because it is too light to be a bomber and it doesn't carry missiles to be a fighter.

the f-117 sucks so much. aaargh all those taxpayer dollars and you got 2000 lbs of bombs that you can just spend all that money using a tomahawk without endangering the pilot.

hindsight being 20/20 tho

 

[SK138]

The F-117 is a pretty neat looking plane though!

Bebro,

You did awesome planes. Any chance you can make the YF-23 (non-produced competitor of the F22)?

 

[Cspiffy148]

Outstanding unit!

 

[Barry]

Great Unit Have you by any chance made a decent F-15 unit? the one for civ is so horrible looking I always avoid being the U.S because of it.

@Barry
Bebro has made one already, look at his airpower links. There are many beautiful units like the F14 F16 and F18. Enjoy

Actually ... no offense - these are beautifull units - but the F-15 BeBro made was misaligned. Rode awful low for an airplane, not high up like the others.

Anyone know if this was fixed?

Hi Guys,

im new here and want to say at first, that bebro's planes are just the best.
Thanks to him, for all these great fighters. But i wish there would be more russian cold war aircrafts. Wanna have a badger bomber or maybe a tu95 bear. (beside this, im waiting for a civ3 german mig29, cause its soooooo beautiful)

I wouldn't call the Raptor a ground attack plane, cause, in my opinion, to attack ground targets is no priority for these type. Maybe we call it a multi role aircraft ?!?!

I agree with sk128, that the F-35 is the next generation of america's carrier based aircrafts. There will be a STOL version of the F-35 for carriers (stronger structure, less payload, thought there is already a prototype of this version)

Thanks for reading my first post and sorry for this bad english.

(at the moment there is the International Flight Display in berlin, so there are a lot of tornado's, eurofighters and EC Tiger's around me, im so nervous... )

BeBro... I need this unit for my mod. But the link isn't any good anymore. Got a copy you can repost?
