Israeli Defense Force: Fight for Independence is a Total Conversion modification for the PC game Battlefield 2 (A.K.A. BF2). What we aim to achieve with this mod is to immerse the player into the historic wars involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, which are the 6-Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War. The player will be able to play as a common soldier, crewmember, or pilot in these wars. The mod will feature historically accurate equipment such as the famous Russian AK-47, the fearsome SO-4050 bomber, the menacing IS3 and M48 tanks, and much, much more. Also, the maps will recreate actual battles that happened in these wars, to complete a historically-accurate and immersive modification. IDF:FFI is also a member of the acclaimed cooperative gaming studio Black Sand Studios.
We share with you today two new Israeli planes that were crucial in War of Attrition and Yom Kippur War air battles. The A-4 Skyhawk and F-4 Phantom. These are updated models and the textures are very high resolution. The cockpit models have also been improved.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) was one of the largest export customer for the A-4 Skyhawks and F-4 Phantoms. The Skyhawk was the first U.S. warplane to be offered to the IAF, marking the point where the U.S. took over from France as Israel's chief military supplier. Deliveries began after the Six-Day War, and A-4s & F-4s soon formed the backbone of the IAF's ground-attack force. In IAF Service, the A-4 Skyhawk was named as the Ayit, Hebrew for Eagle. The first F-4Es, nicknamed "Kurnass" (Sledgehammer), and RF-4Es, nicknamed "Orev" (Raven), were delivered in 1969. IAF Skyhawks and Phantoms were the primary ground attack aircraft in the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War. They performed very well and were liked by their crews but suffered heavy losses against modern SAMs and AAA, especially the Skyhawks because of their slow speed. The IAF improved both the Skyhawks and Phantoms over the years to increase their effectiveness. We will have several versions of the A-4 and F-4 in our next release, including reconnaissance versions that will survey the battlefield and reveal enemy positions similar to how the UAV works in BF2.
so nice!
I do think this plane is a tad too slow, but yea, nice model
