CREDITS!
Credits go to me for making the plane itself and the details while @AlphaSpaceTechnologies deserves credit for the cannon,weapons, MFD screens and additional features such as radar,airbrakes,flaps,ground warning system and drogue chute. My inspiration for this plane came from 2 sources mainly: The Russian MIG-31 and the
HF-01 made by user @Livingg017 who's known for some amazing jet builds. This jet was made for the NATIONS WARFARE ROLEPLAY set in the cold war era.
HISTORY
The HF-108 is a mach 3+ capable interceptor developed by BeaconIndustries for the NSAF(Norland State Air Force) in the late 60s while it officially entered service only in 1970. It was designed to carry heavy payloads and to go fast reaching speeds of mach 3.10 while empty weighted at sea level and still capable of reaching mach 3+ at High altitudes w a Standard full payload. Its primary role Is that of a heavy interceptor and patrol aircraft buT It can also serve as an effective escort,ground attacker,fighter and reconnaissance aircraft. The similarities to the Usrelain HF-01 are a result of Intel gathered by Norlands spies during the 60s allowing for quicker development of the GE-95 335kn engines wich power the aircraft aswell as the general frame shape. This was the First aircraft of the NSAF to have fully digital MFD screens instead of gauges aswell as a newer radar system. The aircraft was utilized in multiple special operations and combat scenarios.
This aircraft remainder in service for multiple decades while receiving upgrades.
FEATURES
MFD screens and working radar with display.
Multiple missile hardpoints to carry external fuel tanks,missiles,gun pods,JATO boosters,bombs etc...
Flaps for better maneuvrability, automatically activated at low speeds w manual option aswell.
A 27mm Mauser BK cannon at the nose and good Fire rate, capable of shredding ground and air targets.
Camera zoom 1st person w slider 3.
Working Airbrakes activated by holding brake Stick or w brake slider+ additional droghe chutes activated at 160m/s.
HOW TO OPERATE PROPERLY
Max service ceiling Is 20km but It's reccomended staying at 15km max.
Max speed Is mach 3.10 but w heavy payloads reduced to mach 2.8-2.9+.
Turn rate can be improved by using flaps or Flying slow.
Cannon has limited ammo so careful not to waste It! It Will destroy enemies easily.
Uses MK2 Fire control system by @AlphaSpaceTechnologies so you put weapons on hardpoints,select type of weapon and tire a weapon at a selected target. You can do this w JATO boosters and Bombs+other things. If you Need Jettison a weapon or other stuff Just select It and use the respective AG.
The plane has a warning system for low altitude when you about to crash or land.
Has a max range of 890-900 Km w full payload and full afterburner while It has a range in the thousands of km with no burner still maintaining Speeds of mach 1.6+ wich is impressive as It can supercruise!!
You Will have the option of using 3 Speed regime:
90% throttle= super Cruise and efficient mode
95% throttle= moderate hypercruise and has lower efficiency
100% throttle= Max hypercruise and you will reach mach 3+ but u will burn a lot of fuel.
The Twr Is like 5+ at take-off so u will have no issues w runway lenght. It can take-off from grassfields aswell.

If you like the HF-108 please consider upvoting as this really helps me.
Thanks you for your support and fly safe!
@Livingg017 ok
@BeaconIndustries i wasnt able, i got my phone confiscated for unfair reasons but ill try it as soon as i can
@Livingg017 have u tried out my star Trek ship btw?
@BeaconIndustries sus blueprint stealing
@Livingg017 we have some Aliens helping jk jk XD
@BeaconIndustries that is strange as the plane was made in a roleplay era that didnt have computers
@Livingg017 go on Dc and ask the nations I tecnically made my plane by spying on your nation and by hacking into computer blueprints
@BeaconIndustries it is, i just laugh at the informal way the plane was named, sure it is great. i still have to sell the old HF01's or either scrap them, is there any nation in the roleplay that is in need of some old interceptor?
@Livingg017 It Is the MOST powerful fighter/interceptor I've ever designed since It Is the fastest, heaviest and also the most heavily armed and advanced
@BeaconIndustries hyper fighter? ok man haha
@Livingg017 HF108 Is because 2 or 3 test prototypes of different buT similar designs failed
@Livingg017 hyper fighter
sorry if this sounds too pretentious but you consider supercruising something special? the HF01 can go mach2.5 without afterburner, not to say my trainer jet doesnt have an afterburner and is quite faster than sound, you should try implementing bigger engines on your crafts or they will become useless before they are even made. second thing, what does HF stand for in your aircraft clasification system? and the number is quite perturbing… did you make 108 HF series planes before? you should make your own designation system, HF-01S (1.2) in my case stands for "Heavy Fighter - design type No. 01, (air) Superiority variant (version tranche 3, model tranche 4)"
@BeaconIndustries oh so like the F-16 block 25 ok
@Ssmkwnwenmg 1=weapon type and u gotta know what weapons u carry. 2=like weapon itself and launch Is tò launch(before all that click select new target do not use map target in game as that not how It works. LET radar do it's job and u can Fire at Ur enemy
It’s great but the menu of typing the weapon is quite obstructing and even unguided don’t drop but maybe it’s my problem but in terms of performance and aesthetics it’s really good
The design can be improved; you don't always have to copy others. You can make replicas, but it's best to be inspired by nature. Make a sketch of your plane; that way you'll create something unique and original.
@TotallyNotGojo idk go ceck out all the gen 2 weapons of AlphaSpacetechnologies all compatible w my jet
@BeaconIndustries I'd say the missiles on mine are more advanced being IR tracking missiles
@AlphaSpaceTechnologies they work so well honestly the only issue Is how many we have lol. U gotta select from 10 types buT each One Is deadly
@TotallyNotGojo yeah but our weapons work😎
@TotallyNotGojo well comparing a 70s interceptor with a fight gen Is kinda Crazy it's clear the fight gen has way more refined caracteristics while the older planes Is good but less versatile in modern Always evolving combat
@TotallyNotGojo well Imma ceck It out I guess
The Norvian Orion FJ-25A 'Chimera' is not as fast but is better in every other statistical way (it is also Hella newer, being made in the late 2010s
