Carrier Duel: KNM Norskehavet vs the Kiev

CARRIER DUEL
This is a modification pitting the fictional Norwegian Carrier KNM Norskehavet vs Soviet Aviation Crusier Kiev on a sea battlefield.

Each Carrier carries their compliment; Kiev a flight of helicopters and Yak-38s; Norskehavet F-11s & S-3As. This is a less intense
engagement since neither side really has the firepower to finish the other off and the pace is slower. It makes for a refreshing change of
pace from three tons of Crusie Missiles. Due to issues; Only the Norskehavet Force is playable.

Good luck and may the best Air Crew win.

Requirements:
You are required to own Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic for this mod to work properly. Everything else is included.
Beware: The mod has its own alterations of the Kiev. If you have a modded Kiev, simply change
CarrierNumSquadrons=1 to CarrierNumSquadrons=4 and continue normal use.

Installation:
Unzip into the Saved Games/Thirdwire/Strike Figthers 2 North Atlantic (or any mod folder of your choice, connected to SF2: NA).

Please do read the enclosed credits, as without the work of those mentioned, this modification could not be made.

Carrier Duel: Nimitz vs Kitty Hawk

This is a modification pitting the USS Nimitz vs the USS Kitty Hawk on a sea battlefield. Escorts are included,
but merely to provide balance to the surface defence capacities of the ships. This package contains two campaigns,
one for each carrier. None of the Carriers aircraft compliments are correct but are to be shown as representative
of respective eras.

Each Carrier carries a Fighter Squadron (F-14A/F-4N), a medium strike squadron (A-4E/A-7E) and a heavy attack squadron (A-6 Intruders). They also carry
two E-2 Hawkeye Squadrons each, to provide naval recon and early warning.

Good luck and may the best Air Crew win.

Requirements:
You are required to own Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam & Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic for this
mod to work properly. The mod only use stock items.

Recommended:
A Cockpit for A-6A / A-6E_79 is recommended. The F-4N DLC is also recommended.

Installation:
Unzip into the Saved Games/Thirdwire/Strike Figthers 2 North Atlantic (or any mod folder of your choice, connected to SF2: NA & SF2: Vietnam).

Northern Sabre Plus (Expanded Iceland Campaign)

By macelena

Operation Northern Sabre Plus

This is intended as an expanded campaign using resources from other TW games merged. For this campaign to work, a merged install with SF2:Vietnam
is required, but as usual, a full-5 merged install is quite advisable.

The campaign includes another US carrier, USS America, employing CVA-63 model. The escort for USS America is entirely fictional, and if anybody can provide some
information on the real composition of its surface combat ships for her 1979 cruise, please, tell me.

Most aircraft added are Phantoms. VMFA-333 flew the J type and used to be attached to CVW-8, so much that AJ is the tailcode it sports in stock installs, and
it keeps a detachment embarked aboard USS Nimitz. VMFA-115 was actually deployed to NAS Keflavik during September 1979, so it was a no brainier. VF-201 was a
USNR squadron stationed in NAS Dallas, and it has been added to USS America as a way to add more Phantoms, just in case. The campaign is made so it will display
Daddyairplanes´s F-4J_74 or ThirdWires F-4N DLC, but if you don´t have them, it will revert to F-4Js and F-4Bs (remember i told you this required SF2V)

I also included an USMC Skyhawk Squadron in Keflavik, wich will take dmtldragon´s A-4M, or alternatively, A-4F_74 from SF2.

The stock campaign also included RAF Phantoms in case you had SF2E or F-4K DLC, however i overwrote those squadrons instead of making them flyable, i just guess
they would be busy in Europe or guarding UK air space to get into a mess wich the USN and USMC are handling already

Most of the work was Tannethal´s, who figured out how to make two different CVBGs work fine, and had the idea of the Soviet reinforcement convoy, a lot of
credit goes to him. Also thanks to daddyairplanes, Viggen and all others wich contributed providing info and advise.

I suggest using the HFD version of Iceland for keeping FPS low, and modified SA-8s for airfield coverage. I just did it by changing their role from MOBILE_SAM to
MOBILE_AAA, but it may be better to use two different copies (one model of each variant in each role).

If anything goes wrong, it must be my fault for messing around with some entries, please tell me so i can solve it.

India-Pakistan War 1965

Please understand that due to game engine limitations this will not play out exactly like the war did historically,
and due to my own personal time limitations, I was not able to do enough research to accurately name all of the ground
units and some of the air-units.

Also, I am in no way making any political statement regarding the war that occurred in 1965.

To install:

Merge the contents of the IndPak65 folder inside the .zip file into your preferred modfolder.
It is recommended that you create a dedicated modfolder for all of your India/Pakistan SF2 needs, but if you know what you are doing,
you can probably merge it all into a "SF2:Everything" install, but don't ask me how if you can't do it yourself. Combatace.com has all of the info you need.
The files contain an edited _targets.ini file that only adds edited NumSquadrons= at a few airbases, especailly since most of the PAF squadrons were
stationed at one airbase near Sarghoda. (changed Mushaf, Halwara and Pathankot airbases).
Also included is a missing tile that goes with Stary's set for the terrain.

tested with a full-merged install, both clean and in a heavily modded folder,
You will certainly need SF2, SF2:Europe, SF2:Israel and Expansion 1
If anyone finds anything horribly wrong that I have missed, let me know ASAP, and I will fix it.

You will need these user made files...

http://combatace.com/files/file/13199-f-86-sabre-pack-pakistani-air-force/
http://combatace.com/files/file/11805-india-pakistan-terrain/
http://combatace.com/files/file/12506-indiapakistan-hi-res-tileset/
http://combatace.com/files/file/13142-india-pakistan-terrain-tweeks-pak/

... and the following files will GREATLY enhance your experience, so get them as well:

http://combatace.com/files/file/13458-t-33a-skin-pack/

I will give a hearty thank-you to:
all of the great modders who created the above files,
TK for staying with it for so long,
everyone at CombatAce.com who has ever answered one of my many "How do I...?"

and to Wrench for creating this beautiful terrain, releasing the PAF F-104A and the new PAF Sabre (which I fell in love with while testing this campaign),
and allowing me to toss his targets.ini around like a cheap soda can.

Operation Joint Effort

Operation Joint Effort
By Jonathan R Lundkvist

Story:
1964: In response to increasing pressure from the Japanese Government, arrangements are made to establish a JSDF Airstrip on Guadalcanal.

1967: Black Raven Steel & Industries begin purchasing up Aircraft designated for scrapping. In the coming years, they get major contracts for ISDF & French Air Force Super Mysteres & USN A-4B Skyhawks / A-1H Skyraiders.

1969: Henderson Field on Guadalcanal becomes operational as a military base and is chosen as the base for the 8th Hikotai.

1974: The CIA are given a tip that there is a Mercenary Organisation trying to acquire Fighter Jets. No leads are found and the matter closed.

1976: A large stockpile of weapons are stolen from a Soviet outpost. This raid is followed up by armed attacks upon other outposts, resulting in more weapons being stolen. The Soviet Union tries to cover up the events.

Dec 1978: Black Raven Security Services announce themselves to the world, offering military skill and lease of their equipment to the highest bidder. They operate from several of the Solomon Islands.

Jan 1979: Both US & Soviets declare Black Raven Security Services to be Mercenaries and in direct conflict to the interest of their respective nations.
They also blame each other for the situation.

March 1979: During a UN Security Council session, the US declares they will solve the issue by military force. The USSR surprises everybody by joining the endeavor.

April 1979: The Black Ravens offer a ultimatum to the JSDF. Surrender the Air Base or it will be taken by force. The JSDF refuses. The Australian Navy joins the Task Force.

1th of May 1979: The Task Force arrives at the Solomon Islands...

Installation:
Unzip everything into your Strike Fighters 2 Mod folder of your choice.
This can be found in C:\Users\(Yourname)\Saved Games\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2 or similar for W7

If you do not have any mod cockpits, unzip "Aircraft Cockpits" into "Objects/Aircraft".

This mod REQUIRES SF2,SF2 Vietnam, SF2 Europe, SF2 Israel & SF2 North Atlantic.

Optimal:

Desert Fury 1981

Desert Fury 2:

June 1, 1981. After the war in 1975, Dhimar has become the undisputed greater economic power in the region. With their increased wealth due to rising oil prices the Dhimari decide to invest in a stronger millitary to counter the ever-looming threat of their southern neighbors.
Seeing that Dhimar is purchasing new advanced weaponry such as F-16 fighters and new Sidewinder "L" missiles, Paran launches a full scale attack on the Kingdom of Dhimar before they can continue the military buildup with stronger ground forces. Iranian forces on a training excersise in Paran join in the attack, and Libya and Syria have vowed support as well.
Divisions of Parani troops and heavy armor are rolling north under a cloud of MiGs. The Dhimari military is scrambling to repel the onslaught. The United States sends the 5th Fleet Carrier Battle Group to the Straits of Dhimar. USAF fighters are flown in to assist in the defense as well. A USMC Expeditionary force is standing by.

This is another simple campaign, based on the stock TW Desert Fury 1975. Fly the F-4, F-14, F-15, F-16, A-10 and more from carriers and land bases.
It will work with TMF Tomcats or the stock TW versions(using DLC skinpack).
Have fun!

Northern Sabre 1975

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

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.

SF2E: TSF: The Suomenlahti Skirmishes

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:

SF2E: TSF: The Catalina Affair

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.

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 XP/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. Unzip the contents of the 7zip file into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites.

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.

SF2E: TSF: Operation Isbjörn

SF2E: The Scandinavian Front
Operation Isbjörn 1.3 Stand Alone.
By The Scandinavian Front Team.

Special thanks to gillg and Wrench.

In 1956, diplomatic talks about the Baltic Sea region between Finland, Sweden and the Soviet Union broke down. Angered and afraid of
NATOs influence in Scandinavia, The Soviet Union demands that Finland and Sweden joins the Warsaw pact to ensure the borders of the
Union. Both countries refuse. On October 1th, the Soviet Union deploys forces to force the countries into the pact.

Sweden, Finland and Norway set condition Isbjörn, activating an alliance against Soviet Agression and rallies to defend Scandinavia...

Installation Instructions:
Simply unzip it all into your mod folder. I would advise you to use a clean installation so there is as little risk as possible
for errors. This mod does not overwrite any original data and can be used alongside any Central Europe themed mod Campaign - in theory.

If you own Strike Figthers 2 Israel, unzip the "Install_if_you_have_SFI_Exp1" file into the mod folder as well, and allow any overwrites.

This can be used as stand alone or to patch earlier versions of Operation Isbjörn.
Important Notes:
SF2 Europe is a requirement. Preferably, use a fully merged installation.
The Terrain itself is not very combatible with the other games, hence the requirement.

While the DLC 008 Hawker Hunter is not required, its strongly recommended for this campaign.
If you have the A-21R from A-Team Site, This campaign has a squadron that flies it - if installed.

Kindly report any bugs or issues to me by PM or in proper thread.

1.3 Additions:
A 32A Lansen (Early)
The Lansen have been reskinned and revamped completly. Feels different, acts different, looks VERY Different ! A must try!

The Vampire:
J-28B Vampire and the finnish "Vamppi" is now flyable for people without Expansion Pack One. They are not as good looking
as pauls versions, but they are a good substitute for the AI.

Also included are many fixes and twists as well as some bug fixes. Enjoy !

Operation Darius Part 3

By Dave

Here's a summary of what this version of OpDarius is

- two blue campaigns -- one w/ a ground war; one w/o a ground war
- ground campaign is not a full fledged invasion of Iran, rather border skirmishes (still very fun, esp. in the A-10C)
- one red campaign w/o a ground campaign
- new Iranian weapons, incl. AAMs, SAMs and MRBMs
- new Iranian ground objects, incl. mobile SAM launchers, static SAM launchers, AAA, tanks, APCs, and MRBM launchers
- two different versions of the F-14 included, one equipped with the Sedjeel missile (based on the Hawk)
- dozens of new target areas added, incl. SAM sites, MRBM sites, nuclear research sites, and uranium processing/enrichment sites
- overhauled TYPES.INI to better prioritize targets in campaigns
- a number of aircraft added incl.the Gripen, Turkish/Greek F-4s and F-16s, the Greek A-7E(H), the new J-7ME, A-10C (w/ the new cockpit), AV-8B Plus, F-35A, F-111C (Late), CF-18_07, & Su-30MKM, A310 MRTT
- some aircraft removed (F-4E_86, AT-6B, the AlphaJets, excess C-130s & Mirage 2000s, and a few others)
-plenty of other unnecessary cruft removed, incl. gigabytes of unused aircraft skins
- new menu screens (nothing radical)
- plenty of fixes to just about every area of the mod to get things updated to SF2 standards and working correctly

The only remaining problem that I know of is the SA-10, which for the life of me I cannot get to launch no matter what I try or what version from whatever mod I use. I've got the damn thing working in WOE, but it doesn't work in SF2.

I did try to preserve as much as possible of the original Op Darius package (incl. basing arrangements for the participating units). So, if someone was really into the first version, they ought to like this version as well.

It's essentially Op Darius, cleaned up, updated, fixed, expanded, and now sporting spiffy new campaigns so that you can play it like a traditional Strike Fighters all-in-one mod.

Note that this version should NOT be installed over the previous version that Wrench released.

1. OpDarius - a blue side campaign without a ground war. Primary focus for the campaign is bombing Iranian nuclear and military sites.

2. OpMarathon - a blue side campaign with a ground war. The only units tasked with CAS missions, though, are the A-10, AH-64D, and AV-8 units, so if want CAS missions you need to select one of those units. The ground war consists of border skirmishes along the Iran/Iraq border, not a full-fledged invasion of Iran.

3. OpShamshir - a red side campaign without a ground war.

Operation Great White North

By Romflyer

Operation Great White North

On Sept 7 1995 the province of Quebec held a referendum to split away from the rest of Canada, in reality the final results were 50.5% to stay in Canada, and 49.5% to seperate....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_referendum,_1995

In this "what-if" scenario the results are reversed and Quebec has decided to seperate, some of the western provinces start the process to follow Quebec’s lead to form a Western Alliance of their own and the Canadian government is brought to it's knees.....there is a complete failure of Parliament and Canada is crumbling.

Meanwhile the Global Sedition forces see the opportunity to grab a foothold in Northwestern region in hopes to claim dominance of the Arctic region cutting off Alaska and opening up many doors for an all out move into North America.....

In an effort to stop the invasion the Canadian forces have combined with American, and British forces to try and stop this evil crusade

Operation Blue Scimitar

Operation Blue Scimitar:

May 30, 1975. After 3 border skirmishes between the pro-west Kingdom of Dhimar, and the Soviet backed Paran, 3 Allied carriers, the HMS Ark Royal, HMAS Melbourne, and the Clemenceau, are moved to the Straits of Dhimar. Paran has been mobilizing reserve units for the past 2 weeks and it appears an invasion of Dhimar is eminent. France, Australia and Britain have pledged limited defensive support if Dhimar is attacked.

Required: Strike Fighters2 + Europe
DLC: MirageIIIC , Hunter(Oman), F-4K, F-8E(FN), A-4G
Add-ons: Super Etendard Buccaneer FAA

Recommended: Europe Addon Pack, Flyable F-104G, Hi-Res Tileset

A carrier campaign for some DLC. The Clem, The Melbourne and The Ark Royal are in name only, not accurately modeled. The default SF2 carrier is standing in until I have some addons to plug in, which may never happen. But don't let that stop you from enjoying this little campaign.
