Re: FD AU 3
i actually quite like it, it kind of Rafalle meets Prowler meets Gripen at the rear. i could see it being an alternative to the EF111 Raven or an advaced prowler negating the EA18 G. probably wouldn't be used by the US but an ally not limited to Navy use either......

Re: FD AU 3
The SHAF R-57 is already known in its previous version with Mitsubishi F-1 wings. For this I borrowed wings from Dassault Etendard IV to increase wing area by 37% (29m2 vs 21.2m2). The reason I chose to use this wing was similar role: a low to medium level strike fighter. The interceptor variant used only for Cypriot Air Force, but in this role could be replaced by MiG-23MLD and cover only its primary role. With larger wing of course wing load will be lower and add some maneuverability. All R-57 will have this configuration.
Therefore, Cypriot Air Force (AU) after the withdrawn of R-54 will have MiG-23 and perhaps some MiG-27 plus ~ SHAF R-57. Total aircraft number about 100-110.

Re: FD AU 3
I know that here is not the request thread, but I would like to see the Firestorm in RHAF and Navy Aviation markings. Wonderful lines for a stealth fighter!

Re: FD AU 3
Thank you a lot, but please replace "Greece" with "Hellenic Kingdom". The difference between these two nations is the former has failed completely, latter is successful.
For Naval Aviation you can use from P-3H Orion.
