Sinai 1967-1975: DCS aircraft

[Qcumber]

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I have not been able to find a relevant thread. 

I am interested in this period and wanted some expert opinions on the aircraft required to support missions/campaigns for Israeli-Arab coalition conflicts in the 1960s and 1970s. 

The limited list of fixed wing fighter/attack aircraft that I currently have are:

A4 (community mod)

F4 (VSN mod and future Heatblur module)

Mirage III (VSN mod)

Mig-17 (Future DCS module)

Mig-19 (DCS module)

Mig-21 (DCS module)

I would appreciate any additions to this in terms of flyable and AI assets. Also any opinions on quality/usability of unofficial mods.

I’m nothing like an expert but will be using the following for my own version of that time period:

- Mirage F1 CE in place of the Mirage 3

- Mig 15 instead of the 17.  As I understand it, there wasn’t a massive amount of differences apart from the addition of an afterburner to create the 17

- Mi8 instead of the Mi17, as used by Egypt

- Huey

- Gazelle was used by Egypt, but that’s not going to fit the time range

The F1 CE is not a good stand in for the M3... The only thing in common is they are french. A viggen with 2 Rb24's (9b) is kinda close and at least aerodynamically is a delta. 

Mig17 had way better performance than the 15 across its entire flight envelope due to more thrust and better Aero/hydraulics but at least the cockpit was similar. 

The 21bis is wrong for the time frame, I think egypt had F-13's then. (give it 2 R3S I guess) 

I think Egypt had the Mig19S not the P (so no missiles or radar)

Quite, I wouldn’t be surprised if none of our current aircraft fit the versions actually used.  The F1 CE suggestion was mainly because it’s technology and cockpit are likely to be in the right era.

 MiG-15 was also used by Egypt, but I believe most of those were retired by '67. you've also got the Mi-8, Mirage V (VSN), MiG-23 (limited use in Egypt)
