F-16C Block 52 Viper V5.0 (4)

"Do no HARM" -The Hippocratic Oath

The Viper still needs more loadouts, but I just finished the SEAD loadout, with a new model for the AGM-88C HARM and the same AN/ASQ-213 HTS and AN/ALQ-184 (Short) ECM Pod from the previous version.

I also decided to make the landing gear more realistic by making it compress/decompress. However, because SP suspension is generally way too weird to work with, this uses pistons and rotors and some FT to achieve the effect. (Pistons still suck though)

The afterburner is also updated and now it uses a BFE300 instead of a VTOL engine for reasons related to the next project.

Phantoms Phorever / F-4S Phantom II

The F-4S Phantom II is a modernization of the F-4J and represents the most advanced naval Phantom in US service. Because this variant was introduced in the 1980's, I'm planning on giving it AIM-7F Sparrows and AIM-9L Sidewinders. Although I don't know how much sense it would make, I also want to try adding AIM-7E-2 "Dogphight" Sparrows.

The reason I switched from the VTOL engine to the BFE300 was so that I could have independent control over the aphterburners on each engine, which allowed me to get this asymmetric aphphect as the burners turn on at diphpherent rates. And since it uses sin(time) and cos(time), it's basically random which one comes on phirst. I would also be able to turn one engine ophph completely in the case of a compressor stall or something along those lines.

Currently, this sits at 188 parts.
