Description:
E-8A Joint STARS MOD

Workshop ID: 3427416233

This kitbash and reskin of the Boeing 707 adds the Northrop Grumman E-8A Joint STARS (Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System) to Sea Power.

The E-8 Joint STARS is a Boeing 707 commercial airliner modified as an airborne battle management, command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform for the US Air Force. Its most prominent external feature is the canoe-shaped radome under the forward fuselage that houses its AN/APY-7 synthetic-aperture air-to-ground surveillance Radar. Two prototypes of the Joint STARS were deployed in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm to locate, classify and track mobile Iraqi ground forces, including tanks and Scud missiles, in support of the F-15Es nighttime deep-strike missions.

The E-8 is a perfect match for my

Important (about mods and mods use):

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that mods can break early access games.

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 still, at this mod’s release date, 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)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent1286220 folder.
