Soviet Spitfires x 2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock Spitfire IXc and clipped-wing Spitfire IXe to create flyable Spits in service with the Soviet Air Force in the 1943-1945 timeline. I've chosen to put these into the 'what-if' hangar due to the very generic nature of the 'winter' schemes and markings but please note that both of the 'summer' schemes are based on real aircraft and include Spitfires flown by the famous pilots Juan Lario Sanchez (Yellow 3) and Alexander Karpov (White 32).
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Spitfire9c_Sov and Spitfire9e_Sov folders into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Spitfire9c_Sov and Spitfire9e_Sov folders into your Decals folder.
That's it!
Please note that you will need a suitable 'prop' pilot.
Please also note that you should really create a new nation for a WW2 Soviet Union. Experienced WW2 players will probably already have one but check your nation name as it might be different from my preferred nation name of 'SovietWW2'.
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Extra special thanks to Starfighter2 for the Spitfire cockpit.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
Regards

Dear Friends,
Today we present to you the 5.104 update. It brings a new campaign and new mission types for Career mode.
5.104 UPDATE
The new historical campaign Sky Nomads now is already available on our website and on Steam. It continues the story of the Soviet fighter pilot you may know from the Blazing Steppe campaign. After having fought in the Stalingrad battle in 1942, in 1943 he found himself in a midst of a hectic battle of Kuban - the campaign title reflects a bit the nomad life of the 43rd IAP which had to constantly change airfields and endure several Luftwaffe strikes on its positions. There is more information about the campaign in our Dev Blog #344.
New missions in the Career mode are photo reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and the escort of the transport aircraft on airdrop missions. The photo recon missions are now available with the Arado Ar. 234 of Sonderkommando Götz in Normandy (in the next update it will be also added to Spitfire XIVe). Artillery spotting missions are given to RAF squadrons No. 26 and No. 63 in Normandy which had the Spitfire MK.Vb and were specially trained for this task. The transport escort missions happen in the historical timeframes of the Normandy, Market Garden, Bastogne, and Varsity airborne operations - you can them in any Allied fighter squadron. Do your best to keep them safe on their way to the drop zone and back home!
There are other changes and fixes in the list as well:
5.104
New historical campaign Sky Nomads (Yak-7b pilot in the battle of Kuban). There is detailed info about it in our Dev Blog #344; New Career mode missions: Photo Recon on jet Arado Ar. 234 in Normandy (Sonderkommando Götz); New Career mode missions: Artillery Spotting on Spitfire Mk.Vb in Normandy (No. 26 and No. 63 Squadrons RAF that were specially trained for this task); New Career mode missions: Transport Aircraft Escort of C-47s on their way to their drop zones during Normandy, Market Garden, Bastogne, and Varsity airborne operations timeframes; Tank campaigns Last Chance and Breaking Point are updated (added tactical numbers to aircraft involved, added new vehicles to some of the engagements); Many award descriptions updated; Ju 87D-3: the additional armor plate now moves together with the canopy as it should; Bf 109 G-6/AS: rockets correctly disappear when jettisoning their containers. WARBRD RACE 2023 WINNERS
In other news - we have the winners of the air race finals. They will receive or have received gifts from us and VIRPIL Controls.
As you can see, CSW_Tommy454 grabbed the first prizes in both categories - air races are unpredictable and two participants crashed in their Messerschmitts after performing a difficult maneuver! The race stream is available here.
Also, if you have participated in the race qualification, don't forget to check your profile on IL-2 website - there is a -50% off promo code applicable to all released content, including the newest ones like Spitfire XIVe, SSW D.IV or Battle of Normandy.
JULY CALENDAR
Finally, here's an artwork ready to become your desktop wallpaper for next month if you wish (FullHD, 4K).
See you in the skies!

Panzerpack for Ukraine terrain
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
This package contains some tanks which are, or will be in the next time, in use in Ukraine War.
This are:
For the Ukraine:
Leopard1A4 delivered by Germany
Leopard1A5 delivered by Germany
Leopard2A4 delivered by Canada, Spain and Norway
T-64B original ukrainian tanks, former soviet
T-72M1 delivered by Czech Republik and Poland
For Russia:
T-72B former soviet
T-72BV former soviet
The T-64B, the T-72 and the Leopard1A4 are repaints of the stock files made by TK.
The Leopard1A5 is a repaint of the tank which made Gabilon.
The Leopard2A4 is a repaint of the tank made by Kesselbrut.
Alle LOD files are low poly, which reduce the workload of the computer. With my new made skins the tanks are looking good enough.
The tanks are set for a timeframe from 2022 or 2023 onward. They will not appear earlier in the game.
I have adjusted the values of the armour to make it more real. I also devided the hull of the tanks into two parts. The upper part has a better armour protection and the lower part a weaker armour, as it is in reality.
Example for calculation of armour thickness:
T-72M1 has a frontal hull armour of 3 layers of steel ( 50 mm inner plate, 60 mm outer plate, 30 mm add on plate) and one layer of Textolit (105 mm). Since Textolit has only effect against HEAT i use only the steel value to calculate.
The formula is x= nominal thickness / cos(angle of armour plate)
so we come to x= 140 / cos (68°) ==> x= 373,73 mm ~ 374 mm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:
-Unzip into your SF2 mod folder

III.
For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use the forum or send me a PM.

IV.
All files are FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED!

Hope you enjoy it.
