F104 STOL naval version could takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers without catapault.

F104-STOL-naval-version Stealth Starfighter block II new features:
1. Unique STOL function, Being able to launch from USS tiny or anywhere level on the ground by the launch truck. Launch truck could be driven by pitch and yaw buttons, and have a maximum speed of 85kmph, it could fully turn at the maximum speed of 30kmph. In able to strengthen the power, it have a pair of recyclable TF34 thrust engine pods.
When you want to takeoff, AG1 first to verticalize the aircraft.
Then throttle from 0 to 100 percent, and fully extend the flaps. After fully throttled, AG2 to launch the aircraft vertically from the truck.

After takeoff, the thrust pod would automatically detach and return the airport or aircraft carrier.

2.Unjammable aerodynamic-controlled guided rocket. The upgraded AIM-7R is an unjammable air-to-air rocket. Each countermeasure is useless when faced with upgraded AIM-7R. Even when the enemy continuously releasing the countermeasures, you could still launch upgraded Aim-7R at the gap of the countermeasure release.
However, you should continuously switch on the selected rocket before it hit the target. For example, after you launch AIM-7RSparrow1, you should keep selecting AIM-7RSparrow1 before the rocket hit the target. You could only guide the rocket to one target at the same time.

3.FOTD Fiber Optic Trailing Decoy have been employed and could be used by activate group4. It would easily mislead the rocket of enemy. Open guide head electronic false target, do not activate that on the ground, or you will destroy the plane.

General Instructions:
AG1: Short runway FCS takeoff mode. Do not forget to open flap when AG1 is on. Please deactivate AG1 when you are in more than 500kmph flight.

AG2: Launch the aircraft and activate AGCAS Automatic ground collision avoidance system.

AG3: Fold the wings.

AG4: FOTD fiber optic trailing decoy System, Open guide head electronic false target, do not activate that on the ground, or you will destroy the plane.

AG5: Open rocket bay to activate air-to-air rockets. The upgraded AIM-7R is an unjammable air-to-air rocket. Each countermeasure is useless when faced with upgraded AIM-7R. Even when the enemy continuously releasing the countermeasures, you could still launch upgraded Aim-7R at the gap of the countermeasure release.
However, you should continuously switch on the selected rocket before it hit the target. For example, after you launch AIM-7RSparrow1, you should keep selecting AIM-7RSparrow1 before the rocket hit the target. You could only guide the rocket to one target at the same time.

AG6: Autopilot helps to aim at the target. With autothrottle when throttle from 30 percent to 70 percent.

AG7: Release arrest hook and enter aircraft carrier automatic landing mode, you need a little bit trimming while landing at different weight, the correct landing speed is about 400-450kmph, the correct altitude is 100m each 1.1km from aircraft carrier. Recommended using pilot cockpit sight. You need full flap and different trimming on different weight. Do not activate group 2 AGCAS while landing.

AG8: Activate 360-degree retractable 7.62mm minigun system. more than 12000 rounds per minute each side.
Tips:
So large trimming force that you could even sustainably turn the plane only by trimming the plane at mach 0.9. Superiority sustainable turning at M0.9 FOR 15deg per second. Very outstanding roll performance. Enabling to defend AIM9 or AIM120 air-to-air rocket in reality. Enemy would be hit within 2 kilometers away from the aircraft.
Afterburner on after 63 percentage throttle.

Main armament: AIM-7R

EOTAS 360-DEGREE LOCK ABILITY

Takeoff
Flaps: 100%
Activate group 1. After being lift vertically, AG2 to launch the aircraft, Then throttle 100% first and flap 100%, and the wheel chock would be removed after 5 seconds, takeoff run shorter than 90m.
After takeoff and at a speed of more than 400kmph, Automatically Detatch TF34 STOL recycleable engine pod.

Landing
Flaps: 100%
Trottle: 10-15%
Speed: 400-450km/h
Touchedown speed: 380-450km/h
Remember to AG7 before landing.

F104 Stealth project aims at an extremely cheap very light stealth multipurpose aircraft for poor countries, or in less materials, cheaper price and mass production for larger countries. Equipped with a single RM8 ENGINE with thrust 112kN or a single F100 or F110 engine, It might become the lightest stealth fighter in the world, which might be very ideal for small countries to protect themselves without expensive heavy fighters. With the help of rearranged locations of wings and canards, plus new digital flight control systems, this plane is much safer and easier to control than original F104 nicknamed Widowmaker. Two stealth rocket pods are at the end s of the primary wings.
Speed M0.9 at sea level for sustained flight, speed M1.2 in diving at sea level is pretty safe.
M1.8 at 12000m, the same speed as SAAB 37.
Roll rate more than 360 degrees per second at 600kmph.

Its advantages in combat is mainly on very fast acceleration, very high climb rate, as well as high sustained turning about 16 degrees per second at 900kmph. Thanks to its high wing loading, the plane is extremely strong while diving and could reach and maintain a very terrifying speed.

However, when you are landing, you must change FCS flight control system control mode.

Its range is not fine, which is only about 1200km in normal fight. So please save fuel and please do not throttle to more than 63 percent throttle too often.
Its total fuel plus the wing-end pod is 4200L only, however this also is a little bit better than original F104.
