Thanks to everyone on the KAW team, the terrain and the new planes are brilliant.

Hi WhiteBoySamurai I have just got round to installing your updated Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke into my install. Just wanted to say they look awesome, and thanks for sharing them. Looking forward to the Leahy Cheers Snapper 21

The only old Blackburn I remember seeing was the Baffin, not sure if that is any help. http://combatace.com/files/file/9871-blackburn-b-5-baffin/ Cheers Snapper 21

Hi paulopanz Were you able to get all the AA guns working on the IJN Zuikaku? Cheers Snapper 21

My vote would be the Norwegian Sea. Buccaneers and Norwegian F-16s battling the Russians.

Kickstarter could have been a good idea had multiplayer no been brought up. Maybe an A-6 cockpit with a sort of DIANE system could have been put forward, but a soon as the M word was used that slightly open door was closed. Just out of interest how would multiplayer work and last. Surely everybody needs to have the exact same install, and in a modable sim like SF2, that will be hard to achieve. And would it not become a bit old quickly if those that had modded there missile to 100% of everything kept handing you your ass on a plate? Cheers Snapper 21

Naval Warfare Arctic Circle is on Steam today for only £3.74

My latest attempt, not sure if painting the insignia is going to happen as I can't get the scale and position right. So what do you think? Cheers Snapper 21

Still working on the camo, looking at pics on the internet can't decide if wing colour or fuselage colour green is more realistic. Haven't tried painting insignia on skin yet.

2nd attempt on camo version.

Can I ask what the advantage is, of having the insignias on the texture? Still trying to get rid of the borders on the green, but also have been trying to re-create the blue. Not sure if its correct.

Thanks for the replies, those light blue C-130s are interesting, would like to know when that scheme came in. After looking through a lot of pics on Airlines.net and if wiki is right on there only being 15 delivered.

Hi All I am playing around with the C-130H templates trying to make a JASDF version, what do you think? Has anyone ot any decals for JASDF Hercs? Cheers Snapper 21

True, the whole island or nothing is probably wrong. But I don't see both sides having the use of prepared airfields. For Russians to have them and have operational squadrons flying from them I think Keflavik would have to be seriously out of action, meaning NATO would have to rely on Harriers and Carrier aircraft

Jonathan, I accept your rant about the tilte, to many SF2 NA around, and also the unashamed plug for your own campaign! Yes I have read RSR, and Arctic Victory is quite believable. If TKs game had started with either NATO defending or trying to re-take Iceland, that would have been better. I just don't see how his scenario could ever of happened. As for WOE, while I never live long enough to see what happens to airbases, I like it because you seem to be there from day one.

Hi All Sorry I feel the need to rant. I bought SF2 NA even though I only have windows xp, luckily I can get all the bits in a merged install and there is Gerwins lovely Iceland map to use if I want. But I just can't bring myself to play it. Its the story line, its just so crap, it puts me off playing the game. In TKs world its possible for the Russians to land on half of Iceland while there is a fully functional USAF base at Keflavick with no landing ships (in game), and with enough stores and equipment to run a couple of airfields and a full army. Both sides fly from pristine airfields, never touched by war, somebody was not doing there job! What were the Yanks doing while the Russians landed? Watching the Superbowl? I love the new ships, naval formations, cruise missiles and the rest. But I can only hope there will be somewhere else to use them soon, because I don't want to fly over Iceland I feel better now. Thanks Snapper 21

Hi WhiteBoySamurai As always, cracking looking ships. If you have a plan to make more PLAN, then surely the Sovremenny class and its variants which is winning the poll at the moment would fit the bill. Cheers Snapper 21

Thank you For the planes and the history lesson. Just had to go and find out about Cupid! Cheers Snapper 21

I voted for everything I could, simply because any of it would be good. But I guess the Sovremenny, Kidd or any of the JMSDF ships would be most interesting.

Hi WhiteBoySamurai About that alternative data.in. Yes some of the visual vertical launch is lost, but the ship is just an awesome weapon. I had a simple test mission, two flights of Su-24 attacking one Kongou, my plane flies on auto pilot all the way. With the normal data file which uses the weapon system, I got close enough for my second flight to attack with dumb bombs and get one hit. All planes returning to base. With the data file using the gunner system all four planes shot down before 8 miles to target. For me the gunner system is the way to go, hope you do the type 23 as well. A big thank you for bringing us these brilliant ships. Cheers Snapper 21

That would be brilliant

Not trying to be difficult, but can I say airwarfare Kirov? If not, will it be possible to copy info from this version to make it so? Cheers Snapper 21

Hi WhiteBoySamurai Your Kirov looks awesome, I am looking forward to the challenge. I don' t think just turning up with a couple of misiles on a plane will work against this ship. I reckon a full strike package with jamming support will be needed! Cheers Snapper 21

TK set his E-2C to AircraftCapability=DAY_ONLY?? Is it a mistake, because surely the E-2 is up night or day, or is it a game thing? Cheers Snapper 21

A big thank you to all the team I have just taken off in a F-14 from a moving carrier in the middle of a moving battlegroup, brilliant Thanks again Snapper 21
