This the fourth iteration of the F-104BI and a big step up compared to all previous versions.
HISTORY:
A few years after the introduction of the F-104BI-C, providing great balance between power and versatility, the NSAF decided to accept a proposal from the aircraft manufacturer @JotaVe to enhance further its capabilities.
The F-104-D was born as a way to extend the lifespan of the F-104BI Starfighter for many years to come. The testing phase spanned from 1963 to late 1964 and the first F-104BI-Ds entered service in early 1965.
DETAILS:
The F-104BI-D incorporates innovative features such as a mid-air refueling probe,larger wingtip fuel tanks, a new braking input system for the airbrakes and improved avionics making It way more capable. This iteration comes equipped with new more advanced missiles. The missiles in question are the AIM-2A Hypersonic missiles by AlphaSpaceTechnologies, with a top Speed of mach 6 and a smaller less heavy body making them perfect for the 6x hardpoints of the F-104. The Vulcan 20mm cannon from AlphaSpaceTechnologies has also received an improved cover making It less draggy for the aircraft.The F-104BI-D Is also a record setter as it's the first long range interceptor to have a max range of 2500+km in the DROO WARFARE ROLEPLAY making this an extremely important asset for long range missions. Aerial refueling can extend this already absurd range making this jet a Marvel of the 60s.
TO KEEP IN MIND:
Brake automatically activates the airbrakes when held fully.
The plane Is stable in Flight but might roll a bit to the side on take-off likely because of my missile placement so stay careful! And maybe rearrange missiles.
The cannon Is activated easily w the cannon AG.
Guys if It rolls at take-off it's my fault I placed the missiles a bit too fast and they not distributed equally weight whise...Just moove them if they aint placed well.
If you like the F-104BI-D please consider upvoting as this helps me a lot also suggestions are Always welcomed! Thank you all for the support!
@BeaconIndustries ok but stile nice 👍
if you guys are interested on what am i cooking, there are some real cool crafts, a heavy bomber and a transport gyrodine bigger than any rotorcraft ever built. the next ones to be released will be my new civilian cargo hauler and if @Lq11 finishes the carrier i will maybe make a recon aircraft. mm what more… idk
also sorry if my comments sound disrespectful, i am not quite good at explaining truth so it doesnt sound insulting
well that sounds fair to me, mach 3 i just a joke for me to intercept, i will not take any action unless it somehow becomes dangerous, ill just remind you that the HF-01S is faster than most missiles out there, and flies higher, i think you guys dont want me to improve it further.
@BeaconIndustries f109 is already taken if i remember it well
@Livingg017 I call It project HS buT name likely Will change it's the F-109 plane
@Livingg017 yk what Imma cancel the order Imma be honest I made my own Zvezda fully by hand inspired by your design only took Ur wings wich I had modify cuz too much lift and It goes mach 3 already
@Livingg017 35milion dollars? Want?
@Livingg017 I Just Need It tò justify project HS existing
@BeaconIndustries sure, what do you want it for? testing? recon? escort? interception? scaring enemies?… Anyway what do you offer for one unit? i remind you that the craft we are talking about is the HF-01 not the HF-01S, the ones for sale are the "big nose" ones, i will prepare you a unit with updated engines from the S version and if you want i can add the working cockpit and the markings of your air force. i will also supply you with spare parts and if you want i can put some pylons on it
@Livingg017 can I buy One HF-01?
Added AN extra mention of his name near missiles
@Physicyman the missiles are not mine but of Alphaspacetechs Remember he's the One talent ed here w Vizzy and tech. Me good at Building and creative not much else
Oh my this be lookin good u got nice talent with missiles and it has it all its very good and nice and u put very many details on it and stuff very nice military aircraft👍
@BeaconIndustries thanks for understanding
@Livingg017 okay but Remember Life must go on you can't LET yourself down Forever be strong and live prosper friend. Sorry for insisting
@BeaconIndustries do you even know why didnt i join the discord? i do not wanna open the app because i dont wanna see old conversations i had with my girlfriend, the ending of the relation hurted me a lot and i am still suffering from anxiety and probably depression, so please stop asking me to join the discord, i will join when i consider it opportune
@Livingg017 F-104 Is the tip of iceberg buT me have study a lot for school so me slow tò upload new stuff
@BeaconIndustries he surely cannot fight with the F-04, i mean, it is impossible to carry that amount of missiles, that fast and with that maneuverability, i can literally dogfight missiles
@Aludra877 👍
@BeaconIndustries as long as you are ok brother, live long and prosper and may your studying go well!
@Aludra877 ye me ok but have so much tò study that I wont be able upload stuff a Lil while I have F-101 ready and some other projects mostly complete
Hey man, I just made a planet recently, would you mind checking it out? Also are you ok?
Live long and prosper
