Re: Austrian OOB - J35 Draken OSD
Hi Don,
We (Austria) still retain the Saab-105OEs for theoretical use as fighter-bombers (even though it's an over-powered trainer only...)- the rockets for the 105s most likely don't exist any more, I heard they were all used up in training; however - I'll check on this one; but I added a Saab 105 in an existing configuration with 2 30mm Aden gun pods (nonsense to buy that unit in the game however) and a PC-7 as COIN fighter in a configuration that truly exists for training with 2 MG pods and 2 rocket pods; for the fighters (Draken, F-5E, Typhoon), I deleted all other weapons besides the guns - say this is nonsense, but then, don't tell me, tell that to our politicians... but it's a fact that these fighers have no A/G role and might be used for strafing only; also, don't come up with old stocks of bombs that might still exist - no, they don't, unless Siddhi or soemone else with good sources may be able to confirm the contrary.
Just like in the threads about Finland and Switzerland, again: Our so-called air force is really meant only for air policing (besides utility tasks), not even air serious defence as in those countries; this clearly does not include and air/ground capability; our OOB isn't finished yet, but be assured you'll receive detailed infos on what we changed and why...
Regards,
Shan
