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.

I.
The Gepard Flakpanzer is a mobile gunsystem intended to escort and defend tank units. In this role it is outdated today. But it is still very usefull as point defence weaponsystem against cruise missiles and drones.
In 2022 Germany handed over already stored Gepard Flakpanzer to the Ukraine.
In this mode the Gepard Flakpanzer is available only for the Ukraine from 2022 and for Brazil from 2014.
This Gepard mod is made for older and slower computers. It use Gabilons old and small LOD file from 2005. I made a new skin to give it a good look.

Panzerpack for Ukraine terrain
*****************************************************

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
