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.
The Sukhoi Su-7 (NATO designation name: Fitter-A) became the main Soviet fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft of the 1960s. The Su-7 was rugged in its simplicity but its shortcomings included short range and low weapon load. Weapons included 30mm cannons, six hardpoints for a combination of drop tanks, rockets and bombs.
The Su-7 saw combat with Egypt in the 1967 Six Day War, the subsequent War of Attrition, and in the Yom Kippur War. Shortly after the Six Day War of 1967, Syria and Iraq received Su-7s but lost many of these during the Yom Kippur War.
The excellent model and textures were created by Pedro. The aircraft in our next release will have many different variants of the same type. For example we will have an Su-7 with multiple rocket pods and another one will have bombs.
This is the Egyptian texture of the Su-7 with its full compliment of weapons shown.
This is fantastic, Love this aircraft.
Thanks, we have a lot more we are working on. We haven't even shown you the new Israeli aircraft yet.
If only this thing ever managed to drop its payload accurately....
BTW, is thing is going to be as ineffective in ground attack role as it was in RL?
I knew it was a failure as a fighter, but I thought it made a descent fighter/bomber? We will also be adding a Su-20, which will be much more capable.
It was too fast for its own good (particularly in a dive), her payload was a joke compared to the piston engine attack planes VVS used to operate and the pilot had too many things to do to bomb accurately while being inside a cockpit that isn't optimized for ground attack as it was placed too high and there was no targeting computer at that time. Soviet recognized these lethal issues though and replaced her with the Su-17 as soon as it became available and dumped most of their stock to other nations.
I see your point, we will see what we can do once we start getting it into the game. Thanks for the input.
