by Larry Bond


As a variation to the Sea of Fire scenario Matt Irsik presents in this issue, try substituting the F-4EJ Kai for the F-4EJs in the scenario.

BASIC AIRCRAFT DATA
Cannon ATA: 4
D-ATA:
3.0 (1.0)

RADARS (5.2.5)
NameLgeMedSmallVsmallStealthy Function
APG-66J 5736.522.810.35.7LD/SD

    Missile Detect
    All radar detection ranges are normalized to 80% detection chance.

SENSORS
RWR (5.7). Notifies aircraft if it is under attack by a radar-guided weapon. Computing Bombsight (6.2.3). These systems use digital computers, which are faster and more flexible than the older systems. There is a +20% modifier to unguided weapon attacks for aircraft using this system.
