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;

FORRESTAL class US NAVY aircraft carrier
========================================
The model depicts a ship circa 1990.
Of course, each aircraft carrier looks a little different,
but this is more or less what the USS Saratoga (CVA-60) and USS Independence (CVA-62)
looked like during Operation Desert Storm.
Model was tested in ODS30 addon and SF2 NA.
INSTALLATION
========================================
Just copy files from [C O P Y T O G A M E F O L D E R]
to your game folder ;-)
In [Extras] folder you can find new ship smoke emitter.
========================================
The 3d model, game files and skins are mine.
Parking spots done by allenjb42.
Many thanks to the ODS30 team for their help in testing this ship.

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.

FIRST THING.
You will need to have the Essex CV LOD. from Rising Sun over at the Yankee Air Pirates site. This skin and future skins I plan to release will not work with out it.
===============================================
TO INSTALL:
unzip to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find
In the Essex folder, located in the GroundObject folder, make a copy of the CV9 skin folder and rename it CV9 M32 3A.
Then, simply, copy/paste the provided Essex_Camo folder into you new CV9 skin folder.
You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes.
That's it.
----------------------------------------------
Notes:
This is the measure 32/3A pattern applied to the following Essex class carriers, Intrepid, Franklin and Handcock.
The Colors used were Light Gray 5-L, Ocean Gray 5-0 and Dull Black 82
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carrier Deck Illumination Beta 1.0
Effects and .ini work: MiGbuster and Fubar512
Placement: MiGbuster
Technical Consultant: SidDogg
This mod DOES NOT contain the carrier models. It requires that you have Sf2V and/or SF2NA, and preferably both, installed on your system. The SCB-125 and CVA-63 models are native to SF2V. They are also included in SF2NA, which adds the CVN-68. We have included files for all three types.
To install: Simply drag the contents of the zip file, which are the two folders, "effects and groundobject", 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. Deck illumination is on all the time. The Optical Landing System is not-functional. These are currently due to the limitations of the series.
This pack bring you the long hull SBC-27 Essex Class carrier. Ideal for KAW install.
What's in:
- a new carrier class with all proper numbers
Credits:
- YAP Carrier Pack I for original model (not icluded)
- paulopanz for SF-2 porting, skin editings, decals etc.
- Spillone104 for help & test
Install:
- extract the pack

(*) This NOT a complete pack: you must own YAP Carrier Pack I
This model represents the long-hull straight-deck Essex class aircraft carriers, beginning with CV-14 USS Ticonderoga circa 1944. These ships were about 5 meters longer than the original CV-9 Essex, and featured heavier anti-aircraft armament.
Two versions of the ship are included: The original WW2 configuration, and the jet-capable Korean War era modernization. Decals for each unit are included. Random aircraft parking has been designed for currently available models with folding wings.
In addition to its complement of aircraft, each ship is armed with a battery of twin 5" guns and single 5" guns, plus a vast number of 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns.
Please see the readme for full details and credits. Because this is a very high-poly, high-definition model, instructions are also included to improve framerate for those of us without premium supercomputers.
This model is dedicated to Wrench, who requested it, and who provides us with great playgrounds for all our toys.

A bit detail of Admiral Kuznetsov
From Wikipedia known as
Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov
(Russian: Адмира́л фло́та Сове́тского Сою́за Кузнецо́в
"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov")
is an aircraft carrier (heavy aircraft cruiser in Russian classification)
serving as the flagship of the Russian Navy.
It 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
It was originally commissioned in the Soviet Navy,
and was intended to be the lead ship of the two-ship Kuznetsov class.
However, its sister ship Varyag was still incomplete when the Soviet Union
collapsed in 1991.The second hull was eventually sold by Ukraine to
the People's Republic of China, completed in Dalian and commissioned as Liaoning.
HMS Warrior was a Colossus-class light aircraft carrier which was ordered in 1942 by the British Royal Navy during World War II.
Construction was finished in 1945 and upon completion, the aircraft carrier was loaned to the Royal Canadian Navy from 1946 to 1948 as HMCS Warrior.
Warrior was returned to the Royal Navy in 1948 and entered service with the British. While in service with the Royal Navy, Warrior was modernised twice,
including the installation of an angled flight deck in 1956. In 1948–1949, the ship was used in aircraft landing experiments and fitted with a rubber flight deck and in 1957,
was used as the headquarters ship during nuclear testing at Christmas Island.
In 1958, the vessel was sold to the Argentine Navy and entered Argentine service in 1959 as ARA Independencia.
The aircraft carrier remained in service until 1970 when Independencia was placed in reserve. The following year, the ship was sold for scrap.
WHAT'S IN:
-a new carrier
CREDITS:
- Hinchinbrooke original model
- Paulopanz ARA conversion
INSTALL:
- put all in our mod folder

This pack has The Mirage Factory's Clemenceau class aircraft carrier by Marcfighters with updated data files for use in SF2:NA installs by KJakker.
/------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two data file variants name Alt1 and Alt2. Alt2 is set by default.
The "Alt1" variant of the data files uses the gun included in the original SF1 mod set up for SF2 file structure.
The "Alt2" version is set to use an alternate gun made with data from sources avalible to me.
The both Guns have been included.
This file has been tested in SF2:NA.
Note that as this model has all 8 100mm gun mounts. As such the operational dates for the class in the Data and Names files are set to run from their Commissioning dates to the time of the classes mid to late 1980's air defense refits.
If Anyone has more precice info on when these refits started and finished please let me know.

CVN Ulyanovsk
by
Julhelm
This model represents the Soviet Project 1143.7 CVN Ulyanovsk, as it probably would have appeared had the project had been carried through to completion.
I won't go into the actual history of the ship, as it's just as easy for anyone so inclined to perform an online search and dig up all the relevant details on the vessel.
This model was designed and optimized for SF2:NA, and that means Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. At the very least it requires the latest SF2 series patch for its systems and DX10 visual effects to work properly.
To install this package, simply place the folders located inside the .RAR archive into the mod folder of whichever SF2 title you desire the ship to appear in.
Additional work may be required on your part to ensure that the ship's TEWS RWR symbol (SkyWatch) is added to the RWR list of any aircraft so equipped. Instructions on how to do this, can be found on the SF2 knowledge base, courtesy of EricJ:
http://combatace.com/topic/44441-making-a-custom-tga-for-tews-radar-warning-recievers/
Sound effects will also require editing of the soundlist.ini file in order to work.
I’ve included a modified soundlist.ini file, for those who do not have it extracted.
Warning: Be careful if you already have an existing custom soundlist.ini file, as it will be overwritten. In that case, simply add the following lines (shown below), taking care to follow the existing numbering sequence (the soundlist.ini will reside in your flight folder). Use the supplied soundlist.ini as a guide.

Known issues:
1) The supplied SA-N-11 Kortik SAMs are not precisely scaled, so they were placed in the center of each Kashtan's missile tube cluster. They also do not have a defined booster stage in their model file, so don't expect booster separation. Also, the actual SA-N-11 is guided by an optical tracking system in real life. Again, this is not supported by the series, so they were given high counter-measure rejection and probability of intercept values, to compensate.
2) As of the present date (October 7 2012) Third Wire does not support a PROPER VLS system on a vessel that's also equipped with mutiple SAM types, on slewable mounts. To put it simply, one can have a working VLS system and nothing else, or one can have working Kashtans. I chose the latter option, though the nodes and missiles are supplied if this situation were to change in the future.
3) Third Wire has not made provisions for a working "ski-jump", so virtual bow catapults are used instead, and aircraft thus launched will appear to fly through the bow ramp.

SF2 "What If" Royal Navy Malta Class CVA 4/5/2015
*For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended*
This is a slight rebuild of Hinchbrooke's VINDICTIVE class 'what if' fleet carrier into an even more what if.
This represents the HMS MALTA class CVAs of the 1960s. (see Notes for 'historical notes'). All 4 ships of the class are represented.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too.
Happy Landings!!

FIRST THING.
You will need to have the Essex CV LOD. from Rising Sun over at the Yankee Air Pirates site. This skin and future skins I plan to release will not work with out it.
===============================================
TO INSTALL:
unzip to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find
In the Essex folder, located in the GroundObject folder, make a copy of the CV9 skin folder and rename it what you want such as Essex_Camo.
Then, simply, copy/paste the provided Essex_Camo folder into you new CV9 skin folder.
You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes.
That's it.
Go forth and rain fire on your enemies from the sea.
----------------------------------------------
Notes:
USS Essex was the only Essex class carrier to be painted in this cammo pattern. The pattern was known as MS-32v6/10D. it was used mainly for destroyers but was adapted to the USS Essex.
See enclosed read me for additional information.

This is an updated data file for the Stock Third Wire SBC-125.
Adjustments have been made to bring the [DetectSystem] entry in line with SF2:NA.
It has been based upon the data used by the TW CVA-63.
Also the four Mark 24 Mod 11 5 inch mounts for the 5"/38 Mark 12 guns are now operational.
As default they are set to use the stock TW "5IN_MK12"
An alternate optional 5 inch gun "5IN_38_MK12_AA" has been included. This gun has been adjusted to be more effective against aircraft.
This file has been tested in SF2:NA.
This Carrier Project Made its debut for Strike Fighters : Project 1 in March of 2006.
Since then three more versions were released for Thirdwire’s Gen 1 Titles.
There are a few more revisions done afterwards to the model for Gen 1 titles by other 3d artists in the Modding community.
This is Version 1.0 Gold of the current 3d Model, and has been extensively worked on to bring the quality and immersion level higher than in previous releases.
This will be the last version of this 3D Model released, work on a new model has begun that will allow me to bring the graphics detail up to higher standards with the newest features.

Carrier Deck Illumination Beta 1.0
This pack bring you the long hull SBC-27 Essex Class carrier. Ideal for KAW install.
This model represents the long-hull straight-deck Essex class aircraft carriers, beginning with CV-14 USS Ticonderoga circa 1944. These ships were about 5 meters longer than the original CV-9 Essex, and featured heavier anti-aircraft armament.
