Pack contains new ground object for SF2 game.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, modd folder structure etc.)
All ini files are beta....which mean it's there, it works but it is not final.
I'm hoping someone will do correct ini edits. So do not complain if something is not working- just edit your way.
also included is weapon file - cargo for C-130 with additional lines for Dels's C-130. So easy to play with. And also wreck objects is there. Just copy wreck lod and also lines for wreckobject .ini.
all skins are in 2048x2048 format.
So play with it, and hope someone will do better ini for this vehicle.

model, ini edits skins - me - JH.
skin based on the Trooper work.. ive updated his skin.
If someone wants psd templates let me know.

Volkswagen Type 82 Kübelwagen for SF2 V.1.01
=======================================
Original model by JasonOwen found on Free3D.com
https://free3d.com/3d-model/german-ww-2-car-kubelwagen-6723.html
Polycount lowered and some re-texturing plus import into SF2 by me. Still a fairly high poly count for a vehicle but a lower poly model is available elsewhere if you have access.
Version 1.01 update: Added a driver -- well, half a driver ;-)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. COPY THE KUBELWAGEN FOLDER FOUND HERE INTO THE "GROUNDOBJECT" SUB-FOLDER FOUND IN YOUR INSTALL'S "OBJECTS" FOLDER.
-- IF YOU'VE ALREADY INSTALLED A PRIOR VERSION OF THIS JUST OVEWRITE --
2. EDIT YOUR TERRAIN'S "TERRAIN NAME'S_TYPES.INI" BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING AT THE END OF THE TARGET TYPES LISTED THERE
[TargetType***]<=== IMPORTANT! UPDATE TO NEXT NUMBER IN SEQUENCE
Name=Kubelwagen
FullName=Type 82 Kubelwagen
TargetType=MISC
ActiveYear=0
TargetValue=10
UseGroundObject=TRUE
GroundObjectType=Kubelwagen
RepairRate=0.555
StartDetectChance=0
StartIdentifiedChance=0
IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0
MaxVisibleDist=5000.0
DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion
DestroyedModel=Jeep_Destroyed.LOD
SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect
SecondaryChance=100
To have the object show up in game it will need to be manually added to the various areas in the Targets list by using something like Mue's TargetAreadEditor.
Could work in SF1 with some fiddling with INI files but I'm not going to try.
Released under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement.

SF2 Realistic SA-6 Gainful / 2K12 Kub SAM Pack 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This pack features the SA-6 SAM system. It is a mobile low to medium-level air defense
system, designed to protect ground forces from air attacks. Following variants are included:
2K12 Kub (SA-6, 1967) - The first Kub version exported to Middle East and other
Third World countries.
2K12M1 Kub-M1 (SA-6, 1973) - Upgraded version exported to Warsaw Pact countries.
2K12M3 Kub-M3 (SA-6, 1976) - Final modification exported to Warsaw Pact and some
other countries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- More realistic search/track ranges along with search/track times for StraightFlush radar
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point at the
target
- Corrected missile parameters
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill. Also it has impact on
the near pass with no detonation situation. With longer fuze distances, missiles will detonate
sooner and there will be at least some damage if not a kill
- Repainted missile skins
- New launch effect and sound
- Dramatically improved performance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
- Due to game engine limitations mobile SAM batteries can not move with other ground units
and thus offensive ground forces will be exposed to enemy air attacks.
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-6 system
could guide two missiles against a single target.
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the Missile Duration time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have installed any SF2 title which will feature the stock SA-6 system.
I think that SF2, SF2E and SF2I have it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As always open readme.txt first to see installation instructions and credits.
Lot of research and hard work was made to make this SAM as realistic as possible.
Enjoy as much as you can this SAM and leave comments with your in-game experience
in the support topic!
--------------------------------------------
SF2 SAMs Pack
--------------------------------------------
This package collects updated versions of most SAMs that have been released for the Strike Fighters series at ComabtAce.com. Updates performed include the following:
- added new versions of existing SAMs (e.g., an SA-5BL on top of the existing SA-5L)
- added new skins (Green or Tan) to objects that lacked one or the other
- added missing Freq data to a number of radars
- implemented numerous tweaks to launchers & radars to standardize data and improve performance
- overhauled weapons to standardize data (w/ 3rdWire weapons as baselines) & improve performance

RED SIDE STANDARD SA-2 Guideline Pack 0.41 Beta
============================================
This is a public test version. Please try out equipment playing from both sides. This pack has been tested against stock planes on stock terrain. Mostly on VietnamSE due SAM site density and fast loading time :)
About 1000+ launch tests have been done on planes with various types with or without jamming equipment at low and high altitude. Ballistics have been also checked with HoneyFox's Missile Range Simulator.
Introduction:
-------------
To follow the philosophy behind Red Side Standard Weapons Pack (RSSW) I made an attempt to standardize the SAM systems as well. The first of such, the SA-2 Guideline or System-75 family. Using multiple reference materials (both english an russian) we tried to fine tune the effectiveness of all the weaponry for satisfactory player game experience while keeping as much realism as possible. This provides more challenge playing on the blue side.
Effectiveness for guided missiles and radars have been tuned to provide realistic hit rate within the proper launch requirements. Because of game limitations, this means some technical parameters and values may be different from real world data.
We kept as much stock reference as we could to provide compatibility with original game standard (Naming, Types, etc).
Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
Contents:
---------
- The latest 3D models of the SA-2 family missiles from Spillone104 with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Most objects use the stock TW 3D models
Important changes:
------------------
- All missiles have been changed from Beam Rider to SAHM guidance, as a work around the faulty "tail chasing" game logic also present with Rear60 IR seeking missiles. Also, "Beam Rider" guidance does not allow lead targeting of the missile.
- All Fan Song radars have been set to their instrumented range, now it is fully up to the RCS, altitude and noise jamming values to determine the range of detection.
- Target tracking range has been made equal to the search range - what the Fan Song can see can track immediately - launch is still limited by the missile parameters.
- Missile Turn G and Seeker FOV has been toned down to (almost) real life data. It gives a chance to "Dance of Death" - outmaneuvering the missile in early planes. AI however will be still toast, though.
- Now all missiles have new 3D models and new skins, thanks to Spillone104
Credits:
--------
Ground objects: TW
SA-2 missile family: Spillone104
In-game testing: Everyone who gave us feedback and shared game experience! Thank you very much! I do count on more testing with the SA-2 and upcoming systems as well.
Work in progress:
--------
New Fan Song 3D models (with correct size and antenna types)
Various auxiliary vans or SAM site contruction
New Search/Height inding radar 3D models associated with the sites on regimental level
Experimental complete SAM site objects for terrains

SF2 Realistic SA-3 / SA-N-1 Goa Pack Beta
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This pack features the famous S-125 Neva (SA-3 Goa) and its naval version Volna-M (SA-N-1B). The following SAM systems are included:
S-125 Neva (SA-3A, 1961) - The first Neva variant. Limited export.
Volna-M (SA-N-1B, 1967) - First improved naval variant. Only missile included since Kashin ship is a stock stuff. You can use this missile only if you have installed SF2 North Atlantic!
S-125M Neva-M (SA-3B, 1970) - The standard Neva version with significant improvements over the first variant. Widely exported.
S-125M1 Neva-M1 (SA-3B+, 1978) - Upgrade for S-125M. Many S-125M operators received this modernization in the '80s.
S-125 Pechora-2M (2002) - Modern upgrade which included anti-stealth capability, improved performance against heavy jamming and new missiles with extended range.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- New search and track ranges for fire control radars
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point at the target
- More realistic missile parameters. Some values may be higher due to game engine limitations mainly concerning guidance
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill
- New launch effect and sound
- Guidance was changed from Beam Rider to Semi Active Radar Homing. The basic type of guidance for SA-3 requires target tracking in azimuth, elevation and range
and when launched, the missile flies to a pre-calculated impact point, receiving signals from the fire control radar. This type is very similar to Semi Active Radar Homing.
- Dramatically improved performance especially in low altitude
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Things that need to be done:
- 1024x1024 missile skins
- Low Blow model so that we can use the original SA-3 radar instead of Flatface
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-3 system could guide two missiles against a single target
- Low altitude performance is good enough but not at the desired level. Tests are still going on
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the Missile Duration time
- Userlist.ini has only Soviet as the only operator but temporarily this is not a problem since they appear as the red side in many terrains. The complete operators list
will be on the final version.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have installed SF2 North Atlantic to use the stock missile model otherwise you need to use the 3rd party models (included here).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check read me file for installation instructions.
Lot of research and hard work was made to make this SAM as realistic as possible.
Keep in mind that is a beta version. When all the issues will be fixed in the desired level, we will have our final version! Stay tuned and enjoy as much as you can this SAM
and leave comments with your in-game experience in the support topic!

RED SIDE STANDARD SA-8/SA-N-4 Gecko Pack 0.3 Beta
============================================
This is a public test version. Please try out equipment playing from both sides. This pack has been tested against stock planes on stock terrain. Mostly on IsraelME, a more advanced map and for fast loading time :)
About 1000+ launch tests have been done on planes with various types with or without jamming equipment at low and high altitude. Ballistics have been also checked with HoneyFox's Missile Range Simulator.
Introduction:
-------------
To follow the philosophy behind Red Side Standard Weapons Pack (RSSW) I made an attempt to standardize the SAM systems as well. The SA-8 Gecko or Osa family is next in the row. It is a late addition into the game, appears in modern eras. It is the most sophisticated SAM system developed during the soviet era and it is still in service. The SA-8 is a low altitude system for short ranges - considered mobile by the game. In theory it would defend armored units, it can move and stops to shoot. Had the placement routine finished by TW... therefore the SA-8 needs user placement. Usage as Mobile AAA is NOT RECOMMENDED, since this system in large numbers can be more than lethal. Also keep availability dates in mind. A plane with no jammer or chaff is helpless against this system in the early 70's - and I did not modify Noise and CM resistance values.
Using multiple reference materials (both english an russian) we tried to fine tune the effectiveness of all the weaponry for satisfactory player game experience while keeping as much realism as possible. This provides more challenge playing on the blue side.
Effectiveness for guided missiles and radars have been tuned to provide realistic hit rate within the proper launch requirements. Because of game limitations, this means some technical parameters and values may be different from real world data.
We kept as much stock reference as we could to provide compatibility with original game standard (Naming, Types, etc).
Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
Contents:
---------
- The SA-8 and SA-8B systems, with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- The SA-N-4 systems, with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Kiev and Krivak ship classes equipped with modded SA-N-4 missiles (both early and late models)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Ground objects use the stock TW 3D models
- Osa Launch sound. Modify soundlist.ini to use this wav file
Important changes:
------------------
- Missile ballistic data
- Radar search and track ranges and altitudes
- Early SA-8 (Osa) launcher with 4 missiles (No new 3D yet)
- Corrected SA-N-4 reload times.
Credits:
--------
Ground objects: TW
In-game testing: Everyone who gave us feedback and shared game experience! Thank you very much! I do count on more testing with the SA-2 and upcoming systems as well.
Work in progress:
--------
New launcher vehicle corrected 3D models (Early Osa)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION !!!
This is not a new version, it was moved here in its correct section because previously was located in Sounds. If you have already downloaded the initial version (v1.0) no reason to download again, its the same mod. We will soon have the 1.1 version.
RED SIDE STANDARD SA-2 Guideline Pack 0.30 Beta
============================================
This is a public test version. Please try out equipment playing from both sides. This pack has been tested against stock planes on stock terrain. Mostly on VietnamSE due SAM site density and fast loading time :)
About 1000+ launch tests have been done on planes with various types with or without jamming equipment at low and high altitude. Ballistics have been also checked with HoneyFox's Missile Range Simulator.
Introduction:
-------------
To follow the philosophy behind Red Side Standard Weapons Pack (RSSW) I made an attempt to standardize the SAM systems as well. The first of such, the SA-2 Guideline or System-75 family.
Using multiple reference materials (both english an russian) we tried to fine tune the effectiveness of all the weaponry for satisfactory player game experience while keeping as much realism as possible. This provides more challenge playing on the blue side.
Effectiveness for guided missiles and radars have been tuned to provide realistic hit rate within the proper launch requirements. Because of game limitations, this means some technical parameters and values may be different from real world data.
We kept as much stock reference as we could to provide compatibility with original game standard (Naming, Types, etc).
Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
Contents:
---------
- The latest 3D models of the SA-2 family missiles from Spillone104 with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Most objects use the stock TW 3D models
Important changes:
------------------
- All missiles have been changed from Beam Rider to SAHM guidance, as a work around the faulty "tail chasing" game logic also present with Rear60 IR seeking missiles. Also, "Beam Rider" guidance does not allow lead targeting of the missile.
- All Fan Song radars have been set to their instrumented range, now it is fully up to the RCS, altitude and noise jamming values to determine the range of detection.
- Target tracking range has been made equal to the search range - what the Fan Song can see can track immediately - launch is still limited by the missile parameters.
Credits:
--------
Ground objects: TW
SA-2 missile family: Spillone104
Work in progress:
--------
More new 3D missile objects for all variants.
New Fan Song 3D models (with correct size and antenna types)
Various auxiliary vans or SAM site contruction
New Search/Height inding radar 3D models associated with the sites on regimental level
Experimental complete SAM site objects for terrains

Alternative Armour Pack
This armour pack is my humble attempt to make ground war somewhat more "accurate". It's been created with SF2:E/NF4+ in mind, but it should be easy to adapt it to other mods/installs. Several "new" tanks have been created, but due to my lack of modelling skills they're only ini edits. Other tanks (both TW and community ones) have been tweaked.
"New" stuff:
- Chieftain mk2, mk5 & mk11 (edited stock Centurions);
- 120MM L11 gun for Chieftain, parameters optimized for the L15 APDS round;
- Leopard 1 (edited stock Leopard 1A1);
- M1 IP (edited M1 Abrams from NF4+);
- M60A1 AOS (edited stock M60A1);
- M60A3 (edited Pasko's & Kesselbrut's M60A3)
- T-80B (edited T-80BV by SWS, BPAo, Fubar512 & 331Killerbee)
Modified stuff:
- 120MM L44 customized for '80s M829 APFSDS round);
- Centurions (mk5,6,8,10,13), Leopard (1A1-1A5), Leopard 2A4, M1, M1A1, M48 (A2 & A3), M60A1, T-54, T-55, T-62A, T-72A, T-80BV;
Modifications inlclude following changes/corrections:
- tank's weight;
- armor values have been changed to RHA equivalents against Kinetic Energy rounds. Angled plates have been taken into account whenever possible. Late tanks (T-72, T-80, Abrams, Leo 2) armor RHA values have been greatly influenced by data presented in "Armor Basics" created by Paul Lasowski & included in Steel Beasts;
- number of gun rounds carried;
- presence (or lack thereof) of nightsight, gun stabilization;
- rangefinder & ballistic computer values;
- service entry dates.
I "hope" all this changes enhance accuracy but please bear in mind that:
- SF series is about flying and the ground war aspect is kind off limited;
- I'm no guru, I pulled the data from the Internet, therefore it might not be actually accurate, lol;
- there's no easy way to calculate RHA values, info on the net can vary significantly from source to source; if you have some good/reliable literature where these are well/reliably documented for many cold war tanks and their variants/sub-types you're welcome to share ;)
If you find any bugs/errors, please let me know so I can correct it.
INSTALLATION:
Back up your stuff first, so you can revert changes if you don't like them! Unzip archive and copy Objects folder to your mod directory (usually "C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\" when using Vista/7). If you want M60A3 & T-80B\BV to show up you'll need to download them from CA (I didn't include lod files or textures). M60A3 is included in US Armour Pack, T-80BV is, well T-80BV. For T-80B copy T-80BV lod files into it's directory. If you don't have NF4+ installed you'll have to get the M1 Abrams from the US Armour Pack as well. And obviously if you want all the "new" stuff to show up in a campaign, you'll have to modify campaign data file. For starters I suggest replacing British Division's Leos with Chieftains in 1979 & 1986 campaigns.
If you're still lost PM me :).
Enjoy!

Model adapted from freeware model...not found creator name yet...
adapted and a lot of restoring the model to max format....and some minor new meshes and some mapping...
all inis are basically TW but adapted by me.
copied stock data etc but renamed to avoid conflict.......works ok in game...after having a few mesh probs...(high poly count) fixed.
I think its far better than stock...
feel free to alter ini`s as desired...
Usual CA Rulez apply...
have fun blowing it up....

SF2 WW2 SDKFZ-251 Half-Track Mod
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO/Eastern Front players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
This pack contains a modification of Geo's German Army Sdkfz-251 "Hanomag" Half-Track. Even though the full vehicle is here (and an extra 'snow camo' skin, still zipped), it's mostly an ini tweek.
What I've done is change it's GroundObjectRole= from TANK to TRANSPORT. This will allow the Game Engine to use them in ARMED_RECON missions.
But beware...
It'll bite back!!!
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them FIRST!!!
Good Hunting!!
