Add-On Ships

These three models represent the Type 053H2 Jianghu-III class, Type 053H2G Jiangwei-I class, and Type 053H3 Jiangwei-II class frigates, in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy. The Jiangwei series frigates were developed from the earlier Jianghu series, with the Jianghu-III being a transitional design, and are considered to be China's first true multi-role frigates.

All necessary sounds, guns, and weapons are included in this package. Hull number decals and helicopter support are not featured, as these ships are meant to be used as OPFOR units, but they can be released on request.

Note: This model has been updated for full compatibility with SF2:NA.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

SF2 Small Cargo Ship (Soviet/Russian)

By Wrench

SF2 Small Cargo Ship (Soviet/Russian) 7/2/2014

= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =

**Note: This mods uses SF2NA style coding for the ship, included the Col lod, radar statements and so forth. You SHOULD be adding this to a FUll-5 Merged install for proper operation. This mod was built and tested in the SF2NA environment.***

This is a modification to Stephan1918's VERY cool First Eagles cargo ship. This ship has been reflagged for Soviet use. It's operational dates are 1918-2050, so it should cover all time frames. This is very similiar to what I did for the WW2 versions, seen in both the Atlantic and Pacific. This'll add yet another target for Auntie Ship mission. Be advised -- it's bites back!

I've given it a 'generic' name as "MV North Star Class Cargo Ship". I've tried to keep it dissimiliar from other Soviet Cargo ships available in other mods (hence the folder being called "SovCargoShip").

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. As mentioned above, give the "Notes" section a read too.

Happy Sailing!

DDG-173 Kongo class Aegis destroyer

This model represents the Kongo class destroyers (DDG-173~DDG-176), in service with the JMSDF from 1993 to present. They are based on the Arleigh Burke class, with a significantly longer hull, higher superstructure, and indigenous Japanese systems. The Kongo and successor Atago (coming soon to SF2) are the most advanced and powerful warships in Asia and among the largest destroyers in the world.

This model has been almost completely rebuilt and retextured compared to my previous version (3.7), and like the real thing she can now lead JMSDF task groups comprised of the Takanami, Murasame, Asagiri, and Hatsuyuki. As with my other vessels, I have included authentic name and hull number decals for each ship of the class, plus the necessary sounds, guns, and weapons. See the readme file for full details.

An experimental data file is included, labelled "DDG-173_EX.ini" (The "EX" stands for "experimental" as well as "extremely dangerous.") This sacrifices the cool-looking vertical launch for a significantly more accurate multi-target system that better reflects the actual performance of an Aegis destroyer. Use whichever you prefer, depending on if realistic visuals or realistic performance is more important to you. An optional assisted takeoff mode for helicopters is also included on the flight deck.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Takanami class destroyer

This model represents the Takanami class destroyers (DD-110~DD-114), in service with the JMSDF from 2003 to present. The Takanami is an improved version of Japan's modern workhorse, the Murasame class, with a larger main gun and more flexible vertical launch system. Two variants are included, the original as-built vessel, and a recent refit with ESSM replacing Sea Sparrows.

The Takanami class features well-rounded armament including a 127mm gun, two Phalanx CIWS, two 4-canister SSM launchers, ASW torpedoes, and a 32-cell Mk41 for VL-ASROC missiles and SAMs.

A full names list and authentic decals are included. The model features a helicopter deck and a few other surprises. This ship is best used in conjunction with my Kongo class, Murasame class, Asagiri class, Hatsuyuki class, and other upcoming JMSDF capital ships.

Kidd class and Kee Lung class destroyers

This model represents the Kidd class destroyers, multi-role warships based on the Spruance class. Originally built for the Imperial Iranian Navy, they were cancelled after the 1979 revolution and completed for the US Navy instead, serving from 1981 until 1999.

After decommissioning, all four ships were sold to Taiwan. They were recommissioned for the Republic of China Navy as the Kee Lung class starting in 2005. These ships are included in the package as a separate variant with updated weapons and custom decals, and are capable of leading ROCN task groups in missions.

The Kidd class will join existing USN task groups once installed, but for ROCN task groups, you will need an additional ship pack.

See the readme for full details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Taiwan Navy ship pack

This package includes the Cheng Kung class frigate, Chi Yang class frigate, and Chien Yang class destroyer of the Republic of China Navy. I extracted and converted the stock USN versions of the O.H. Perry, Knox, and Gearing to create these Taiwanese variants.

They are by no means perfect representations of the actual thing, since many of the ships were refitted with additional and/or indigenous weapons after being acquired by the ROCN. However, these should be "close enough" to facilitate some naval battles over the Taiwan strait.

Note: You will require a capital ship to create a proper task group in game, such as the Kee Lung class (Taiwan's most powerful warship), available here.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Julhelm's Container Ship

By Fubar512

Julhelm's Container Ship for SF2

Model and Textures: Julhelm

Effects and .ini work: Fubar512

This mod is designed and optimized for the SF2 series, and may not work properly in SF1.

To install: Simply extract the contents of the 7z archive file into the mod (saved games) folder of the desired title. For example, using SF2NA, the default path would be "YOUR NAME/Saved Games/Thirdwire/StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic"

Note that model's running lights will be on all the time. This is currently due to the limitations of the series.

To enable the included sounds, you must have access to the soundlist.ini, which can be extracted from the flightdata,cat file. It must then be placed into your game's flight folder, and the following edits should be made to it (note, if you have a custom soundlist.ini already, simply add the following lines in their appropriate numerical order. Don't forget to edit the XXX entries to match your existing sequence).

SoundFileXXX=Underway
SoundFileXXX=MarineDiesel

[underway]
Priority=Normal
3DSound=TRUE
DopplerEffect=TRUE
Looped=TRUE
NumBuffers=2

LCS-1 Freedom class Littoral Combat Ship

This model represents the first Littoral Combat Ship, USS Freedom, in commission with the US Navy since 2008. These vessels are designed to be fast, stealthy, and highly modular.

This package includes decal sets for all current and future ships of the class, plus all necessary sounds, guns, and weapons such as the exclusive RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile. The ship can support two helicopters. See the readme file for full details.

A SRBOC countermeasures system has been installed to help defend against anti-ship missiles. This system is still in the beta stages, but if well-received, will be added to my other models as appropriate.

The weapon systems, collision mesh, and decals have been updated for compatibility with SF2: North Atlantic and the March 2012 patch. If you have not installed/do not plan to install either, this model will not work properly.

When setting up a task force, using the USNgrey texture will allow hull decals based on the ship number. This is bugged in single missions (as the ship number apparently defaults to 90 and can't be changed), so select a specific texture set with the hull number you want.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

C-14 China Cat class

This model represents the C-14 China Cat series, a small missile boat designed in China for use in the Middle East. It has been in service with the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy since 2002, and it is also used by the PLAN in limited quantities to test new light weaponry.

The China Cat can reach speeds of up to 50 knots and can carry a variety of weapons. Three variants are included in this package with the following weapons:
C-701, a very small anti-ship missile designed for attacking other patrol boats and fast attack craft.
C-704, a significantly larger anti-ship missile developed from the C-701 designed for attacking medium-size vessels.
122mm unguided rockets in a 16-round launcher for light artillery support

All versions have a 23mm cannon on the bow in addition to the above.

Optional for new modders:

As this model was built as part of a tutorial I made for CombatAce, I have included the 3D Max files and texture templates in a separate package.
CombatAce modders are free to modify these files as they see fit to create alternate configurations or entirely different vessels.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Udet Rescue Bouy and S7-S13 Class E-boat for SF2 WW2 Battle of Britain Installs

By Steve T

"Udet-Seenotbojen" or Udet Rescue Bouy and S7-S13 Class E-boat for SF2 WW2 Battle of Britain Installs

To install, copy the included Objects, Effects, Missions and Sound folders into your MOD folder and make the INI file edits described below. If you already have an E-boat in your ground objects, back it up. If you don't want a high poly E-boat model, maybe just install the Udet-bouy. Tested in a WW2 Install based on SFNA patched to June 2012 Level. You can also slip the E-boat into your Euro WWII as it is a ground object, same goes for the Udet-bouy but you will not be able to use the custom Target placement as this has been written for the Battle of Britain Terrain.

All users should be prepared for longer load times as the E-boat model weighs-in at around 5.6 MB despite my poly-crunching and pruning -- the original was MUCH bigger this! If you want a smaller model, try copying and renaming LOD2 to LOD1 -- you will be missing crew, dingies and torpedos but have a smaller, but still big, file.

Talking of the original, the base model that I've imported into SF2 is a fantastic 3DS Max model by Alvaro Alves of De Espona 3D Models and is released as a creation here under a Royalty Free License. The version here is very heavily edited and with mostly new textures.

The Udet-bouy is my own creation.

This started out as a small project to learn 3DS Max by making a low poly Udet-bouy but it kind of got out of control! So, a LOT of work for such a little object and it's big brother but worth it I think. If you're a 109 pilot with a damaged engine limping back to France, try a belly landing next to an Udet-bojen and then swim for it!

Hope you like it,

Steve T.

USS Coontz (*)

The Farragut class was the second destroyer class of the United States Navy to be named for Admiral David Glasgow Farragut.
The class is sometimes referred to as the Coontz class, since Coontz was first to be designed and built as a guided missile ship,
whereas the previous three ships were designed as all-gun units and converted later.
Ten Farragut-class ships were ordered between 1955 and 1957.
Each ship displaced 5,800 tons under full load, with a length of 512 feet (156 m), a 52-foot (16 m) beam and a top speed of 33 knots (61 km/h).
Originally commissioned as guided missile frigates (DLG), they were redesignated as guided missile destroyers (DDG) under the fleet realignment in 1975.
They were also the only redesignated ships to be renumbered as well under the realignment, with the first unit changing from DLG-6 to DDG-37 and
all subsequent vessels being renumbered upwards in order.

All ships of the class were decommissioned between 1989 and 1994 and subsequently scrapped.

What's in:
- a whole working escort class SF-2 ready for Vietnam era scenarios
- numbers/names decalset

(*) You need YAP to grab the lod file

CREDITS:
- Yankee Air Pirate (needed)
- Paulopanz SF-2 porting & new decals
- Colmack for missiles put in place

INSTALL:
- extract the rar
- take Coontz2.lod in GroundObject/DLG-9 folder from your Yap WoV install
- put it inside GroundObject/Coontz extracted folder

Aviation Cruiser Kiev illuminated deck mod.

By Fubar512

Kiev Add-on for SF2NA

Effects and .ini work: MiGbuster and Fubar512
Placement: MiGbuster

requires Carrier Deck Illumination Beta 1.0

&

SF2NA

This mod is written as an add-on to the Carrier Deck Illumination Beta 1.0 package.
It does not conatin a working model of the Kiev, which is only available if you have a copy of SF2NA.
It also requires the aforementioned carrier deck illumination package, which can be downloaded at: http://combatace.com/topic/81708-carrier-deck-illumination/
To install: Simply drag the contents of the zip file, which is the "groundobject" folder, into the mod (saved games) folder of the desired title. For example, using SF2NA, the default path would be "YOUR NAME/Saved Games/Thirdwire/StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic"

Note that this is a Beta, a work in progress, and as such, it is not perfect; We have taken a bit of a guess as to the decklight positioning on the Kiev, and it is probably not accurate. Also, the deck illumination will be on at all times. This is currently due to the limitations of the game engine, and our work-around to the illumination issue.
