The F-6 Liberator is my attempt at a chinese design from the late 1950s to early 1960s. The design in particular is the DF-104 or "DongFeng-104" tr. "East WInd-104" . Image given below:

The DF-104 was designed as a Mach 1.4 capable fighter using design elements of the latest fighters and it could be assumed that it was to be powered by two maybe up-rated WP-6 turbojet engines as used by the J-6 and Q-5. Its development started about the end of 1957.

As this was a paper project i took control of the specifications of the
design. One of the major changes in the design was the engine , i replaced the
2xWP-6 turbojet engines with a single Turbofan engine. The closest engine in
specification to this turbofan named the "WP-7A" Not to be confused with
the irl WP-7 engine
would be the Rolls Royce Spey Turbofan engine with
reheat. Due to this engine choice the maximum speed of the Aircraft increased.

In the armaments department this aircraft is equipped with :
- 2x M39A2 Autocannons
- 7x Pylons able to carry a payload of upto 3150kg

Important :

Now here's how to use the Aircraft.

AG1 : Releasing PL-2s
AG2 : Releasing Droptanks
AG3 : Releasing AS.30
AG4 : Arms PL-2s for a short duration
AG7 : Navigation/Formation Lights
AG8 : Afterburner Switch

Now the PL-2s use a code which is tweeked from WarHawk95s AIM-9B Sidewinder , i used the code in the Activation of the missiles with few minor changes.

To fire these , Get within 10km to the Target , select the Missile . Press AG4 , wait for the arming and locking duration . If the missiles have been de-armed automatically, turn off AG4 deselect the missiles , wait around 5-10 seconds then try again .

Note : This aircraft will be used in the upcoming Season of WCU , so if that season concludes normally, as in
- without any forced/early cancellation of the season or
- a minimal amount of RP combat due of low playercount and/or activity,
then i will write lore for this jet with the livery of the nation and some modifications/updates.

Without Further Ado , Have a Safe and Fun Flight
