LTV A-7D, A-7H, A-7P, A-7E Corsair II and YA-7F Strikefighter MOD
Mod number: 3494273581

There are new SLUFs in town!

This mod adds new liveries, and loadouts for the A-7, with the USAF A-7D, Hellenic Air Force A-7H, Portuguese Air Force A-7P, Royal Thai Navy A-7E and the ultimate version of the A-7, the YA-7F Strikefighter.

** USAF liveries **
  • 3rd Tactical Fighter Squadron (Thailand, circa 1972) - Default
  • 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron (late 1970s)
  • 354th Tactical Fighter Wing (Thailand, circa 1972)
  • 74th Tactical Fighter Squadron (early 1980s)
  • 166th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Ohio Air National Guard (1980s) - Default
  • 180th Tactical Fighter Group, Ohio Air National Guard (1980s)
  • 162nd Tactical Fighter Group, Arizona Air National Guard (1980s)
  • 146th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Pennsylvania Air National Guard (1980s)

** Hellenic Air Force liveries **
  • 347th Bomber Squadron 'Perseus' - Default
  • 335th Bomber Squadron 'Tigers'

** Portuguese Air Force livery **
  • 304 Squadron 'Magníficos' (Esquadra 304) - Default

** Royal Thai Navy livery **
  • 104 Squadron 'White Sharks' - Default

** New Aircraft: YA-7F Strikefighter **
The Vought YA-7F "Strikefighter" was a prototype attack and interdiction aircraft based on the A-7 Corsair II and powered by an F100-PW-220 engine. While the A-7s were subsonic the YA-7F could reach at top speed of Mach 1.2 thanks to its afterburner and had a service ceiling of 55,000 ft. Two prototypes were converted from A-7Ds. However the YA-7F was not ordered into production, its intended role being filled by the F-16Cs, F-15Es and A-10s instead.
The mod adds two liveries for the YA-7F prototypes with markings of the 445th Flight Test Squadron based at Edwards AFB. In addition there is a 'what if the A-7F had been produced?' livery with markings of the 391st FS 'Bold Tigers' (historically equiped with F-15Es) based at Mountain Home AFB.
The YA-7F and A-7F come with two new loadouts including laser targeting pods and Paveway II laser-guided bombs.

** New Weapon **
AGM-88A HARM air-to-surface anti-radiation missile with custom texture and Encyclopedia entry with profile picture.

** New Pod **
AN/AAQ-14 laser targeting pod and FLIR (uses the Pave Spike mesh).

** New Loadouts **
  • USAF versions (E/J) of the AIM-9.
  • Heavy Strike: with Mk-84 2,000-pound (900 kg) general purpose bombs
  • Anti Tank: with AGM-65 Maverick air-to-surface guided missiles
  • Long Range SEAD: with AGM-88A HARM anti-radiation missiles (ANG units only. Note: HARMs were first introduced in the USAF in 1985)
  • Strike Precision: AN/AAQ-14 pods and 4 x GBU-10 Paveway II laser-guided bombs (YA-7F/A-7F only)
  • AntiShip Precision: AN/AAQ-14 pods and 8 x GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bombs (YA-7F/A-7F only)

Notes:
This mod uses ingame assets only and does not require Sealifter or Anchorchain.

This mod includes Encyclopedia profile pictures.

Update: August 2nd 2025, added compatibility with version 0.4.0 of the game.

Important (about mods and mods use):
This mod has been tested and is running perfectly on my computer (i7-11800H @ 2.30 Ghz - 16 GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050) with no other mod enabled. However, since they are as many computer configurations than computer users, it's unfortunately impossible to guarantee it will work on yours.
Be aware that by installing mods for Sea Power, you are modifying your game experience from the original intended product which is (at the time of publication of this mod) still in EARLY ACCESS. Therefore, later game updates/patches may cause this mod to be deprecated. Although it is unlikely, the presence of other enabled mods might cause conflicts, and the more enable mods on your computer, the greater the chance of conflict. So, to sum it up, USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
If you wish to clean uninstal this mod make sure to follow these steps: 1) Uncheck this mod in the mod manager. 2) Click on Accept. 3) Unsubscribe. Then make sure the mod's file is no longer in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1286220 folder.

Unfor I'm not skilled enough to create new aircraft models from scratch.

Cool mod. Any chance you'd be willing to make the F-8 Crusader?

Update (June 28th 2025): You can now fly the ultimate version of the A-7: the YA-7F Strikefighter with new loadouts including Paveway II laser-guided bombs.

Just Notepad to edit the game's .ini files and GIMP to edit the textures. Modders who create more complex mods than mine use Blender as well.

Which program do you use to make these kind of mods? I would like to make such mods my own.

again. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight nuclearstonk :) The AGM-88 texture has been corrected. I took the opportunity of a new update: The mod now features the Royal Thai Navy A-7Es. See latest screenshots.

a note about HARM: its supposed to have a white nose, the one you textured has a plastic red cap on the end that is removed before flight
