Silent Hunter UK Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I would like to create a Harpoon scenario in the near future and would like to include one of my favourite fictional aircraft, the MiG-31 "Firefox" from the Craig Thomas novel. Possibles: * A carrier strike * A land mission * An AAW battle with a US version. Maybe 20 on each side. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV32 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I built the Firefox for Tony's FictDB for HCE. Not sure if Herman has added the Firefox to the PDB, but I'm sure he would if you were going to write a scenario for it. If you weren't looking to recreate the movie/novel storyline in a scenario, I suppose the sky's the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 The Firefox is not currently in the PlayersDB. However, there would be no problem adding it if you want to make a scenario using it. Just tell me how you want it to operate, what weapons to include, etc., and it will get added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyE Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I would shy away from the carrier strike, I think the Tu-22 and Bears had that covered quite well! I do like the idea of a land strike, perhaps taking out early warning radars, maybe facing whatever F-22 equivalent could have been fielded at the time (not knowing when the scenario is set makes the crystal ball cloudy). Maybe some F-117 need to strap on Sidewinders and help out the F-15s I don't think a pure AAW battle without some land element would be all that rewarding. my 2 cents anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV32 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Maybe its tunnel vision, but the original storyline seems most attractive to me, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
