These Czech Avia S-199 fighters became the aircraft with which Israeli pilots achieved their first aerial victories.
Avia S-199, fighter, Israel. rank IV.
Features:
- Low max speed and climb rate
- High flutter threshold
Immediately after the end of World War II, Czechoslovakia began to form its own air force. Due to a shortage of aircraft in their possession at the time, Czechoslovakia decided to utilize the spare parts that remained after the war to initiate production on a series of Bf 109 G-10 fighters. The main production issue was caused by the power plant - the original German production run of the DB 605 engine was long over, and it was not profitable for the country to start producing new examples. After the first batch of fighters with DB 605 engines were completed, the decision was made to switch to Jumo 211 engines, as they were much more readily available. This engine was not incredibly suitable for fighters however - it was less powerful than the Daimler, and lacked a synchronizer for forward armament.
The Messerschmitt airframe had to be substantially modified to accommodate the new engine, complete with a new propeller. The resulting Czech fighter, named the S-199, was noticeably inferior in terms of performance to its German predecessor, regardless of this fact though, more than 500 units were produced in total. It soon became obvious that the S-199 was drastically outdated, and there was no country in Europe where the Czechs could sell their new fighter, due to all the leading forces of the world being equipped with much more powerful machines, with most in the process of already developing their own jet aircraft.
Even before the official proclamation of the State of Israel, the procurement commission of the future state signed a contract for 25 disassembled S-199s, and also finalized agreements for a training program for Israeli pilots. On May 28th, 1948, the first ever Israeli fighter group of four S-199s was formed under the leadership of several experienced veteran pilots. The future commander-in-chief of the Israeli Air Force and subsequently the country's president, Ezer Weizman was among these four pilots. The following day after formation, the group took off on their first combat mission to carry out an assault on Egyptian positions. This was the beginning of a short but brilliant career for these Czech-assembled German fighters operating out of Israel, where the plane received the nickname "Sakeen", Hebrew for "Knife"
TheS-199 fighter will be one of the first aircraft in the Israeli tech tree. It will appear in the hangars of the Israeli Air Force closed beta test pilots with the release of the ‘Winged Lions’ update at rank IV - additionally, rank IV marks the starting point for the Israeli air branch.
The Czech S-199, based on the German Bf 109 G-10, is drastically inferior to the latter in terms of combat effectiveness. The Jumo engine lacks the high power of the original DB 605 and is noticeably heavier. However, the well-designed airframe still retains a very high flutter threshold and makes this fighter to be very adept for "boom & zoom" tactics: where the aircraft dives to gain speed from high altitude on to an enemy below, followed by an upwards zoom to return to relative safety
The S-199 also differs from the Messerschmitt in terms of armament: the S-199 lacks a 20mm motor-cannon, but retains a pair of high caliber MG 131 machine guns and a couple of rifle caliber machine guns in the wings, which can (and should, at the earliest opportunity) be replaced with two classic underwing gunpods containing powerful 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons. The “Sakeen” can also be equipped with several types of small-caliber bombs, the Sd.50, Sd.70 and Sc.50, which are carried externally on several pylons.
This entry-level aircraft will arrive with the release of the ‘Winged Lions’ Major Update. Take part in the closed beta test of Israeli aviation to be among the first to fly and master the various aircraft of this new playable nation!

My baby my beautiful baby. #Czechtreecomfirmedforfuturemaybe. ;-)
wtf
Nice, but we don't need more vehicles, we need the actual game to be fixed.
Cool, btw Regia Aeronautica 2.0 when?
I'm happy that they are new planes but damn where's my RE 2006 god damn it! It's been how nay years? 2017 I think when it was passed for consideration. It was talked about in a shooting range episode with the mc 208 and g56 too.
Looking forward to this one!
well you don't have to wait 'till the update comes out to fly it. It's a BF109G, with downgraded performance.
xx7mo0od3690xx@psn, That's exactly it - We have to wait to experience the suck. Then embrace it =}
Happy Finnish independence day.
yay
i alredy have a lot of bf109
what did you expect? It's Israel. They can't make their own original designs. gotta get it from 'murica lotsa m60s and abr00ms and muh Lightning. F-35 obviously.
xx7mo0od3690xx@psn, I logged in just to say this: you inebriated kumquat. They never used the Abrams. Instead, THEY DESIGNED THEIR OWN TANK.
Great addition, I love props! Please add also the version with oil cooler under the nose, D-108 with long tailwheel would be perfect mate for same box in tree.
because having the same exact plane with its engine replaced for one with worse performance makes up for a great addition, yeah?
xx7mo0od3690xx@psn, @xx7mo0od3690xx@psn You've made the most sensible comment in this section far. So many fanboys gushing over a plane that's gonna get the crap kicked out of it by everything in its tier....
Hello
ok
One of the few interesting aircraft in this tree. If not the only one.
A Bf109G with a worse engine, pretty intresting, and unique too, like it's tech tree.
xx7mo0od3690xx@psn, Judging from this and the sound of some of your other comments, I'm starting to think you just have something against Israel politically or something. Just relax and dakka-dakka with new pew-pews, comrade :)
