http://combatace.com/files/file/12562-sf2e-tsf-operation-isbjorn/
You may also require SF2: NA but at the present, it should work fine without. It all comes down to TKs changes or lack thereof.

This is based on the stock Northern Sabre campaign, but set in 1975. It stars 4 allied Carriers, The Ark Royal, The Clemenceau, The JFK, and The Forrestal. The campaign will be easier than '79 due to the extra help, but keeping your ships alive is still a challenge.
Plenty of Phantoms to fly including the F-4K, 2 squadrons of F-4J and the 57FIS F-4C (57FIS was actually using SEA camo on their planes).
You will NEED SF2:V, SF2:NA and DLC F-4K + F-8E(FN)
And these ships:

Readme:
Back up your files first!
Merge the contents of into your modfolder.
Alternate loadout for Buccaneer S2D is optional, but will make Naval Stikes more effective.
I tried you use the appropriate planes/squadrons and ships/names/numbers
Innacuracies include:
A-7E's on the Forrestal are not the correct ones because SF2 does not include decals for VA81 and VA83.
The Super Etendard was not in service in 1975, but I couldn't find a Etendar IV.
French fleet uses stand-ins including Essex Class carrier for the Clem.
Soviet ship names are not all accurate to 1975.
WWIII didn't actually happen in 1975 AFAIK, so just have fun with this!
Operation Phocidae (1962)
During a very nasty World War Three, the Ark Royal and her Task Force is trapped in the Baltic. Ordered to engage the Soviet Coastline, they will have to battle the fleet, as well as the VVS and Naval Aviations assets. It is up to the pilots of her Buccaneers and Sea Vixens to win the day for the Royal Navy!
Please note: This is a rule of cool campaign. That means I have not even bothered to be historical. Its about fun, so rivetcounters can spend their time finding all the little references :-).
Installation:
The only thing you need (AT THE MOMENT) is SF2: Europe. I made this campaign to show that SF2: NA Battles can be done without having SF2: NA. TK however has reserved the right to revoke this feature, as he seems to fear this will cause "CTDs in the future". Consider this more of a Tech Demo then a proper campaign.
Do note that while Carriers cannot be sunk in the game without SF2: NA (At least not what I noticed, see if you can make it happen), I have lost Carriers on the Campaign Map when they have been "hit" by bombs. So keep that in mind!
Throw it all into the mod folder, and have a good time! Nothing fancy have been edited, so you can use it in a standard installation without messing too much up.
If you are merging this with TSF; install this after Midvintermörker.

The Scandinavian Front: Midvintermörker
By The Scandinavian Front Team
On Boxing Day 2012, Sweden wakes up to a new world; A Sweden they have never seen before. A powerless and dark Sweden. A day everything changed. Sweden is under attack; Gotland is being invaded by Russian Forces and sabotage patrols wreak havoc in the major cities.
Försvarsmakten bets everything on one card; Operation Gudrun. They must repulse the Russians from Gotland or loose the Island forever.
Installation:
If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, TSF will mess around with settings other mods may be using. As such, creating a seperate mod folder for TSF is a good idea. If you only plan to use TSF, then this step can be bypassed.
Go to your installation folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2). Make a copy of Strike Fighters 2.exe / Strike Fighters 2 Europe.exe depending on what you prefer and got installed. Name the Copy Strike Fighters 2 TSF.exe . Start your new .exe once, then close the game.
Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows 7/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. For Windows XP Users, it is usually in My Documents. Unzip the contents of the 7zip file into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites.
As long as this package is installed last, it can and should be merged with the other The Scandinavian Front packages.
Team TSF recommends Starys Tiles for the terrain. It looks alot better. Install it last; when all TSF packages are installed and working.

If I forgot anybody, this is completely unintentional and will be corrected. Just drop me a line and I fix.
There may be bugs, ladies and gentlemen. I cannot guard against everything. So you are my eyes and ears. Find them. Report them. Hunt their mothers. And we will destroy them.
SF2E: Operation Isbjörn: Submarine Hunters Mission Pack
By The Scandinavian Front Team
Stratos, this one is for you
Summary:
I am still trying to get this to work in the campaigns, but with Anti-Ship not working for defensive and all, it has been difficult to implement - to say the least since Scandinavian Forces always are on the defensive.
So I am releasing it in this format. An Aircraft, and a few Single Missions.
It is an Addon, you _WILL_ need Operation Isbjörn 1.1 or greater (current version is 1.4, so don't worry about that). This is due to Terrain and other Aircraft involved and me being sheer Lazy.
Link: http://combatace.com/files/file/12562-sf2e-tsf-operation-isbjorn/
So, what is this all about?
You will hunt Submarines, thats what. Best enjoyed with visual targeting and HUD on HARD. Good luck finding the sneaky little bastards. For you without Mission Editor, I have set up four different scenarios for you. Enjoy !
Installation:
Unzip into your Strike Figthers 2 TSF Mod Folder.

SF2E: TSF: The Suomenlahti Skirmishes
By The Scandinavian Front Team
During the summer of 1964, the Finnish Air Force is in the middle of a large buildup. Having been granted possesion of guided missiles and a few Bombers for Maritime Recon duties, the Finnish Air Force is a competent and mobile addition to the Scandinavian Arsenal.
On the first of August, The Soviet Union declared the Finns in voilation of the Paris treaty, limiting the size of their Air Force and decides to patrol the Finnish Skies. The Finns retort that any unauthorized aircraft in Finnish Airspace will be shot down.
The Finns are about to show what they can do with their new MiGs, the loathed Gnat and the venerable Vamppi against five full squadrons of Soviet Aircraft...
A/N:
The Mod is based around a limited air war between Finland and the Soviet Union. There is no ground conflict, and most of the missions will involve defensive measures taken to ensure Finnish Supremacy over their homeland. If you are a fan of Close Air Support or ground attack, this is probably not the mod for you.
Installation:

The Catalina Affair
By The Scandinavian Front Team
"The Catalina affair was an incident on June 13, 1952, when a Swedish military Douglas DC-3A-360 Skytrain flying over the Baltic Sea carrying out signals intelligence gathering operations for the Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA), disappeared east of the isle of Gotska Sandön.
Three days later, two Swedish military Catalina flying boats searched for the DC-3 north of Estonia. One of the planes was shot down by Soviet warplanes but the crew ditched near the West German freighter Münsterland and were rescued."
As the survivors are flown from Finland with a military escort, the DC-3 wreckage is found by the Swedish Navy. Stalin at once declares the wreckage soviet property as "is filled to the brim with Soviet State Secrets" while Sweden declares their intention to combat any attempt to stop a salvage operation on international waters.
As the Swedish Navy rallies off Gotland to blockade the Baltic Navy ports from the point "Svensksund", the Soviets steam out to meet them....
This modification is based on the fictional event that the Catalina Affair resulted in an armed conflict. It is not a reproduction of actual events.
The TSF Team wish to dedicate this mod to the crew of the DC-3 and Anders Jallai, the man who found them.

Done! Enjoy the game!
NOTES:
* The Swedish Navy is larger in the mod then it actually was in the 1950s. This is due to the pacing in the action required it.
* The Swedish Air Force actually had only one P-51B. For novelty reasons and fun, you can choose what J 26 type to fly. If you choose another squadron, then all P-51s will be D versions.
