Installation:
Unzip the entire package into your mod folder, usually Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or similar.
 
Information:
The Sea Gripen is Saabs take on a Carrier Borne Fighter, based off their Saab Gripen NG Project. It was however some ideas that the C version also
would be an ideal platform for navies with smaller Carriers as a gap-filler until the Gripen NG entered the market. The idea has since been scrapped.
 
However, this is the What-If Section and since we like Saab does not have a Gripen NG (E/F) available, we made one off the Gripen-C instead.
Good Gripen-C Templates are included and free for use.
 
 
This package contains one Aircraft with five skins, correct serials, nation-specific loadouts and correct weapons.
 
 
Saab Demonstrator: Two made, modified from Swedish Air Force Gripen-Cs. Initally built as a proof-of-concept but then transferred for demonstrations and
practical trials. First naval operation trials was made on the USS George H.W Bush during 2012. Alongside the many details in the contract, Saab retained
the right to the US Navy Digital Camo for use upon the airframe. Official demonstrations of these Aircraft is said to have been boosted by Saabs decision to
give out free copies of The Scandinavian Front during air shows.
 
Swedish Air Force: The Swedish Air Force, in a frenzy to find new budget cuts for their Armed Forces decided to refit a Wing of Fighters from the Gripen-C to
the Sea Gripen-C instead of upgrading them to the Gripen NG. The wing was then activated in 2014 as part of the Swedish Air Force Rapid Reaction Force where
Carrier Landings in NATO Operations may be a requirement. The wing is based at F 21 Luleå and have access to the USS Queen Elizabeth for Carrier Training for their pilots.
 
Brazilian Naval Avitation: The Brazilian Navy was the first nation to adopt the Aircraft for their navy, making the development of the Aircraft a requirement
for the later approval of the Gripen NG Contract. VF-1 recived the Aircraft and begun training in 2014 and declared themselves operation for duty on the A 12
Sao Paulo in early 2016, making a flyover at the Olympic Games. Brazil has scored most kills with their Gripens, shooting down dozens of Drug Smuggling Aircraft
and boats every month.
 
Indian Fleet Air Arm: Following the defence paper of 2011, the carrier INS Viraat was to be decomissioned in 2020. However, without the Sea Harriers, she had been
reduced to a Helicopter Carrier. Doubting both the Gripen NGs and the Rafaeles capacity to land upon her decks, the Sea Gripen-C was tested and subsequently bought 20 aircraft
with a requirement for a quick delivery. The Indian Navy has expressed interest to retain the INS Viraat for a longer period of time, satisfied with the combination.
 
Royal Navy: Following the near-crash-and-recovery of the F-35 Project saw the Royal Navy reducing the ammount of Aircraft to equip their Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers with.
In order to retain maximum value for the Carriers built, the F-35B entered a Fleet Defence and offensive air combat role with the Gripen-C with both low purchase and operating costs
deemed the best alternative. The 801th Naval Air Squadron with battle honours from world war II, Korea and the Falklands was reactivated to fly the aircraft, putting them in the front line
for Britannic Security Policy once again. The Royal Navy is pleased with the Aircraft and has expressed interest to upgrade to the Gripen NG in the 2020s.

Hawker Hunter F.6M for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a very simple mod of the Third Wire DLC Hawker Hunter F.6(60) to give a fictional Hunter F.6M in service with the Irish Air Corps during the 1966 to 1988 timeline.
 
You'll need DLC001 - the Hunter F.6 (60) of the Royal Netherlands Air Force for this to work but if you haven't got it you can hack this package to use whatever stock Hunters you have but expect to lose some functionality.
 
Colourful fictional markings for all four Irish provinces are included;
 
No.1 Connacht Squadron
 
No.2 Leinster Squadron
 
No.3 Munster Squadron
 
No.4 Ulster Squadron
 
If you'd prefer to use the standard RAF scheme then I've included a Patch template to help you easily produce the Patch.bmp for your skin folders.
 
Also included are an Irish Air Corps Pilot and the 'Sleagh' infra-red homing air-to-air missile which is simply a licence-built Red Top but with the familiar IRM growl and an orange skin. Stock RedTops can be used and these Hunters are equipped with the Lightning gunsight which gives a quirky visual confirmation that your missile has lock-on.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Hunter6iac folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Hunter6iac folder into your Decals folder.
 
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_IAC folder into your Pilots folder.
 
4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the SLEAGH folder into your Weapons folder.

Flygvapnet Skin for Cocas' F-32
 
Released 'as is' after being requested by Cocas for his very inventive F-32 'Joint Strike Fighter' early proposal this is a fictional Flygvapnet skin for F21.
 
There is a slight limitation in that the nose insignia also appear on the inside of the aircraft but with your ejection seat in place you will hardly notice this.
 
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-32 folder into your main Aircraft folder and overwrite if asked.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-32 folder into your main Decals folder and overwrite if asked.
 
 
CREDITS
 
As always, thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.

BAC Lightning F.Mk 52 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2)
 
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.2 to make the little-known F.Mk 52 version that was exported to Saudi Arabia as part of 'Operation Magic Palm' an early UK supplied defence package that also saw the supply of Lightning T.Mk 54 trainers, Hawker Hunters and Thunderbird SAM's. Four F.Mk 2's were withdrawn from RAF stocks and were refurbished at BAC Warton to F.Mk 52's before being delivered to the Royal Saudi Air Force in 1966 with a fifth F.Mk 52 joining them in 1967. Rather confusingly, four of these five aircraft were re-serialled so there are nine serial numbers included here.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your main Decals folder.
 
3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Avon_Dry and Avon_Wet files into your main Sounds folder.
