SF2 Goliath Class CVBN & KC-130E Hercules - A "What If" Package   12/17/2025
-For SF2, Full 5 Merged Recommended-
This is a MASSIVE 'What If" package for you all to enjoy and marvel at the engineering thereof. There's also a new 'what if' airplane here too!
As seen in some Screenshots, this is a new aircraft carrier, taken from items found in 2003s "Factory Place". That mod included something called "carrier_still"; a gigantic, non functional 'eye candy' ship of extraordinary magnitude!! What I've done, (with a little help), is make the monstrosity (mostly) functional AS a working Bird Farm!! It can take any and all USN or other carrier based naval aircraft. There is some "oddities" with the self defense systems and damage rendering; these are explained in the "Notes" section. There are 6 ships in this class, all named. They may (can) appear in game-generated missions within their Battle Groups. They are given a service lifespan from 1969 to 2065. They use standard 3W in-game missiles, so having SF2:NA should be considered a requirement.
For more added fun, I've created a new "KC-130E_cv" Hercules aircraft for use as a COD, tanker and general transport. This aircraft is FULLY carrier capable, for launches and recoveries. (it's based on Dels Hercs). It included 3 skins:
USN:
VR-65 "Wanderers" (1962<)
VR-65 "Wanderers" (LoViz TPS <80)
USMC:
VMGR-252 "Otis" (<1962)
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All BuNums are historically correct for Herc's used by the USN/USMC, but as this is a 'What If', ??? why really cares!! 🙂
On the aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll see:
KC-130E Hercules (CV)
This let's you know it's something special, and out of the ordinary! Other than it's carrier capabilities, it's a regular Herc.
You'll also be adding a new engine and ship sounds (unless you've done so already), and these will need to be added to the Sound list ini, so have that extracted (if you haven't already), and in the /Flight folder in your Mods Folder of choice.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. If anything is missing or so badly messed up it don't work, let me know and I'll try my best to get it fixed.
Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

Chinese aircraft carrier Type 002 Shandong
1.What inclued:
(1)Type-002 CV-17 Shandong;
She is the country's first domestically built aircraft carrier and second in PLAN service after the completion and commissioning of Liaoning, from which she is derived.While sharing a superficial resemblance to Liaoning, the design details of Shandong are drastically changed and display a higher priority on aircraft operations.(Info from Wiki).
2.Note:
Nothing Special;
3.Usage:
Unzip and copy Objects folder to where your game is installed;
4.Credits:
(1)C5 Galaxy(offsite user): Original models and textures;
(2)ME: port models to game add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works;

1.What inclued:
1x aircraft carrier,
R91 Charles de Gaulle the aircraft carrier is the flagship of the French Navy,I don't think I need to introduce too much about such a famous ship;
2.Note:
According to available information, the most "obvious" defenses on the R 91 are several VLSs that launch Aster15, so I reserved their launch positions, but you need to get them(I mean the missile) from Whiteboysamurai's work such as "Horizon Forbin class", because he is not under Freeware license, so I will not include his work here;
As for the remaining 20mm machine guns, I did not add them because their role in SF2 is very limited;
3.Usage:
Unzip and copy Objects folder to where your game is installed;
4.Credits:
(1)Sameh Aransa(offsite user): Original models and textures;
(2)ME: port models to game add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works;
 

ORP Fala is a Polish patrol craft of the Project 912 class (NATO: Obluze Class). 
She was the first ship of a five-ship series, commissioned in 1965. 
Polish design, they were built in Gdynia. 
Fala means 'the wave'.
This Project was carried out with  Anunk47 assistance. 🦅
Enjoy, I wish you good hunting.

What if:   Aircraft Carrier "Varyag" ex Kremlin Class
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class.
The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or westeuropean carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of projece 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K as air group of the Baku.
The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov.
When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet.
The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varyag (Varangian). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaonang.
In this mod the fiction is, that the Ukraine finished the carrier and used it under the name "Varyag" (Varangian) as flagship of their Navy. The difference between Varyag and Kuznetov mod is that the ukrainian ship has no ship to ship missiles.
Remark to the name : Google translator gave me the translation "Варязький". Wikipedia say "Варяг" is correct. I'm not sure about it. Thatswhy i include both version. As standard i use "Варяг". Name files for "Варязький" you find in a subfolder under decals/Varyag/Varyaskij. If you want to use this name version, copy the files from Varyaskij folder to Varyag folder and let overwrite the existing one.
I'm not sure wheter "Варязький" is written correctly. Perhaps it must be "Варязькиi". If someone know, send me a PM.

This is a Data file fix for the Admiral Kuznetsov Class Carrier released by rokieborhgunder.
You can download the original aircraft carrier file in the link below
Admiral Kuznetsov Class Carrier - Aircraft Carriers - CombatACE
 
The data file of this carrier Mod has a lot of problems, causing game to crash to Windows Desktop when the aircraft carrier is hit by a weapon. This data file fixed the problem.
 
This Data file also fixed the Kashtan CIWS system in game. Allowing the AK630 barrels on Kashtan to actually fire at the target instead of shooting at the sky.
 
Installation:
1. Unzip the file to the installation folder of the Kuznetsov Carrier Mod.
2. overwrite the existing file.

Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov (Russian: Адмира́л фло́та Сове́тского Сою́за Кузнецо́в "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov", originally the name of the fifth Kirov-class battlecruiser) is an aircraft carrier (heavy aircraft cruiser in Russian classification) serving as the flagship of the Russian Navy. She was built by the Black Sea Shipyard, the sole manufacturer of Soviet aircraft carriers, in Nikolayev within the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR). The initial name of the ship was Riga; it was launched as Leonid Brezhnev, embarked on sea trials as Tbilisi, and finally named Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov after Admiral of the fleet of the Soviet Union Nikolay Gerasimovich Kuznetsov. (Source : Wikipedia)

Richo’s Paran Navy for SF2 Desert 2/16/2021
Paran Navy pack along with some Soviet Navy updates for stock ships.
   This project was inspired by Soviet Navy Vertical Pack and this is available at Combat Ace if you do not already have it.  Other inspirations are from Snailman’s Kiev photo he sent me on a Decaling question.  Also I cannot forget the rest of the Third Wire community at Combat Ace and T.K. for the Strike Fighter series.
  Mues LODViewer is a plus and a must have tool.

    Other inspirations come from myself when working on the Polish Navy for SF2NA and needed a break and went back to the Desert and realized Paran needed a Navy to challenge the USN and USMC. 
   In this Paran Navy pack is Just the Stock Third Wire Soviet ships, Kiev, Kashin, KrivakI and KrivakII up dated for the Paran Navy with Hull Numbers and Names.  Working Torpedo's, RBU Launchers, Cruise missile's.  The Kiev will take some extra pounding and keep on punching but is sinkable.

     Included is the Soviet updated Hull Numbers and Names.  I am still working on them and I have not finished.  But the Updated Names List and Hull Numbers are correct.  Just working on the correct years and testing this out when I get time to play:)
  Weapons are added and modified due to limitations I had to compromise on the actual Missiles and Rockets.  I could not find them anywhere?   I will have to wait until new versions of these weapons are available.   Photos are in Weapons/ 1A_Weapons info.   Weapons are from various weapons packs available for free ware.  Thanks for the hard work on those weapons:)
Also included is a stock Yak 38 modified for action and updated Stary yak38 cockpit.  Also from “Soviet Navy Vertical pack” and the Readme’s are included.
      Also needed is an updated Skin as well for the Paran Yak 38.  The one available does not look right but will have to do the trick.  If someone can make one that would be great!!!  I am just learning to make Decals.
  Always looking for
