The campaigns:
33 mission Iranian fighter-bomber campaign
The F-4 Phantoms of the IRIAF were used in bomber, fighter, interceptor and recon roles. The sturdy ships continued flying under the most dire circumstances.
The "mother of all campaigns"
Originally created by "vern" years ago, this always has been "the ultimate jet war campaign" for me. Over the years, the Phantom mod and others evolved and the original campaign became obsolete and wasn't compatible anymore with current mod versions. I totally revamped the campaign for
BAT Angels High. New mod aircraft, new skins, new ground objects, C&C features. No more additional mods needed for this one.

30 mission Iranian fighter-bomber campaign
The F-5E Tiger II was the backbone of the IRIAF ground attack forces during all of the war and remains in service to this day. Suffering the highest losses of all units, the F-5E were also a crucial element of success.

30-mission campaign for IRIAF Tomcats during the Iran-Iraq War, spanning 1980 to 1988, mostly based on "Iranian F-14 units in combat" by Cooper/Bishop.
79 F-14A Tomcat were delivered to the Imperial Iranian Air Force 1976 - 78. Following the overthrow of the Shah in 1979, the air force was renamed the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) and the post-revolution Interim Government of Iran canceled most Western arms orders and the USA enforced a wide scale boycott.
In 1980, an Iranian F-14 shot down an Iraqi Mil Mi-24 helicopter for its first air-to-air kill during the Iran–Iraq War.
After a rough restart, the Persian 'Cats with their extremely powerful AWG-9 radar and the unsurpassed AIM-54 Phoenix missile system became the nightmare for the mainly Soviet equipped Iraqi Air Force of Saddam Hussein...
Beware. This aircraft system is tracking and shooting down opponents literally at the other end of the map in Il-2. Play it with style


26 mission Iraqi fighter campaign
The MiG -21 was one of the Iraqi Air Force mainstay fighters and interceptors at the beginning of the conflict.

IrAF Su-22 / M / M3
