TLTeo Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I think technically all Gs could have six missiles, no? Other than the preference of each user, there is nothing to prevent it afaik. The wingtip pylons are kind of similar - they were the default for the early A/C, but also there are quite a lot of pictures of Italian S models flying with AIM-9s on the wintips, Aspide/AIM-7 on the outboard stations, and sometimes tanks on the inboards. 1
Bremspropeller Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Technically yes, if you make the required wiring changes. Some of which were done by later users of a specific jet: Here's a RoCAF TF-104G (originally a german jet) with wing-station Sidewinders, which is 100% more wing-station Sidewinders than what german 104s could carry originally. http://www.916-starfighter.de/Large/Stars/wR195.htm 2 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!
Bremspropeller Posted January 4 Posted January 4 How do you like your CF-104Ds? With two underwing Sidewinders! http://www.916-starfighter.de/Large/Stars/wD664.htm 1 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!
Mike Force Team Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Will we have the F-104A variant? I am asking for the version that had downward firing ejection seats. Mike Force Team

The more missiles - the less performance. F-104 was small and had very small drag, every missile except for two wingtip Sidewinders degraded its performance. Just like the Mirage III, MiG-21, Draken. I remember dogfighting on MiG-21s with friends - against competent pilot you had to jettison all the missiles if the first turn didn't give the opportunity to fire them, or you were slowly, gradually losing the fight. 3
TLTeo Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Yep, plus it's not like you'll have enough fuel to get enough firing opportunities to fire all 6 missiles (or 8 in the case of the meme MIg-21 loadouts). 3
bies Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Yes, for me the biggest appeal of flying F-104 is slick hotrod with Vulcan and maybe 2 Sidewinders and phenomenal performance in Air Superiority role BnZ as it was designed to do. Not heavy cow dragging as many missiles as possible - especially this early missiles required very tight positioning, impossible without cutting edge performance anyway. And i predict Vulcan will be responsible for as many kills as missiles if not more as it was exceptionally good weapon in Starfighter days. 4

Puh, better practice your aiming skills then. I personally find it very hard to hit anything with the gun in the F-4 - on MP servers at least. 1
