File Name: Wings of your Nation: Sea Gripen Chronicles File Submitter: JonathanRL File Submitted: 02 August 2014 File Category: User Made Campaigns The general idea of this campaign is to imitate the over-the-top, generic Jet Fighter commercials that companies sometimes produce. As such, expect the Rule of Cool to be in full effect. Year: 2016 Flyable Services: Saab, Swedish Air Force, Brazilian Navy, Indian Navy, Royal Navy, German Naval Aviation Carrier Operations: Yes Naval Combat: Yes Ground War Scale: None What to expect: Carrier Operations, Naval Support - dogfights and attacking ships in open water. In another part of the world, there is suffering. A civil war has recently ended and the UN have decided to bring in humanitarian aid. As we speak, convoys are assembled to bring food and medicine to the population. A major regional power, a Rogue Nation is unhappy with the end of the civil war. They have profited by the constant warfare in their enemies nation, trying to put their puppet in the presidents office. They are even now preparing to destroy the convoys and bring their own law into the torn nation. The UN did however anticipate this. A Task Force from your nation have been dispatched with ships from SAAB Kockums and Sea Gripen fighters. Defence of the convoys and the destruction of enemy naval forces is your mission objective. If possible, you must also hinder their transports of weapons and equipment to reach the war-torn area. You are the Wings of your Nation. You are Gripen Pilots. Installation: This mod requires Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic.

I agree, upgrade to SF2. There is plenty of good stuff for SF2. Start with Europe and North Atlantic, then you can always try some of the glorious new mods out there - such as The Scandinavian Front 2 (Self-Promotion).

I used Action! - Consumes less resources from the computer.

Happy Birthday!

Raven Lead, Red Crown: New Mission Priority. Get well. Get rest. Come back with new strength when you feel like it. Hope you get well soon so you can do what you like, regardless if its modding or not.

I wish I knew the answer to that one. Lots of people want one, some have started on one, nobody have finished one. A-Team still refuses to let me use theirs. I lost hope tbf. Obligatory Screenshots:

Who said anything about 2014? ;-)

Wings of your nation

Saab 21 is hereby officially confirmed as the first new aircraft for TSF 2; Expansion Pack 1.

You mean like this? http://www.reddit.com/r/100yearsago

For me, DCS is not an option since it does not provide a clear package. Sure, a lot of neat aircraft to fly and all that, but you can only fly them in one place - and depending on the Aircraft you fly, against a single opponent. DCS has potential but I think it needs to be more modding friendly. I hope they will consider that in whatever comes after DCS World.

Steam does not have SF2: Europe. Steam has Wings over Europe and that is Generation One. Third Wire is the only source to buy these games legitimately.

I think the reason for that is that every time I post a TSF Screenshot, I get a "What game is that?".

I did not get the skin right - I am not very good at such things - but it is a nice little bird despite that. Do you know her name, so far away from the fame?

If he means that he works on SF2 Expansions, then I am not displeased. However, I am probably kidding myself.

Are there any plans to put her into traffic again?

And here I was going to paint a Mitchell blue for other reasons. Thanks!

Actually, it was intended to happen. Finland always purchased evenly from NATO and the Warsaw Pact. They intended to purchase both F-18 Hornets and MiG 29 Fulcrums in order to keep the balance. It is however unclear if they had been allowed to purchase Hornets if the Soviet Union had still been a major power. Both Viggens and Gripens was an alternative to the Hornets had the deal been denied.

The 38 Designation is actually already taken. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_38

In 1946, Finlands military forces was in shambles after the war, and with the Soviet Union on a close watch on purchases and spending, it did not seem likely that a military buildup in order to protect from Soviet Aggression would be likely anytime soon. As diplomats sat and debated exactly how large the Finns Air Force was to be, a young Finn had a brilliant idea that might just fool the Soviets and get Finlands way at the same time. The roof would not be limited in number of aircraft, but in their cost. The proposal was sent to Stalins desk for approval and despite the words of his advisors, he signed a treaty declaring that Helsinki Lennosto could be established with his approval as long as the Aircraft involved did not cost more then 40 000 dollars per Aircraft. Content that they had limited the treat to their nation and sea lanes, the Soviets did not think more on the matter. The Finns however did, and they asked the Allies to aid them in this matter and Churchill, mostly to annoy Stalin decided to sell the Finns thirty Beaufighters alongside torpedoes and ammuniton for the net cost of 10 000 per Aircraft. Deliveries started at once from the large number of spare aircraft avalible after the war and Helsinki Lennosto was operational in 1948. The Aircraft was well liked by the Finnish Air Crews and was used as a Gunfighter for Air Support as well as a Torpedo Bomber. Stalins mistake would have deadly consequences in the 1956 War when these thirty aircraft succesfully prevented any Soviet traffic in the Gulf of Finland. In 1948, as the last of the Beaufighters was delivered, the Finns decided to stir the pot once more with the Soviet Union. They asked the French and the United States Army Air Force if there where any medium bombers that could be bought - officially for maritime patrol and target tug duties. The United States decided to sell Finland - against the wishes of some on the Staff that tough Finland lost to Communism - sixteen B-26 Marauders. In an effort to test the Soviets intelligence network in Finland, no markings was ever painted upon the aircraft and the number of aircraft was a closely kept secret, while at the same time, rumours of up to forty aircraft was released to run wild across the Baltic. The Soviets took the bait and in their official breakdown of the Finnish Air Force in 1954, Finland was indeed listed to have "at least" thirty B-26s, operational and capable for bombing missions. In the 1956 war, they where responsible for the bombing of the Soviet Headquarters at Leningrad but took heavy losses and was retired from duty alongside the Beaufighters in 1958. As Finland looked for a replacement, the Soviet Union - who at last had quite enough - offered Finland the purchase of MiG 21s and Il-28s in the hope that military hardware alongside a softer touch after Stalins death would get the finns into the fold. Deciding to play both sides, the Finns turned to the French who offered Finland their newest bomber, the Vatour for a reduced price compatible with the Helsinki Lennosto treaty. In order to not upset the Soviet Union too much, Finland decided to purchase MiGs and a few recon variants of the Il-28, while also equipping Helsinki Lennosto with fourteen specially equipped Vatours. These aircraft could be equipped with the Swedish RB-04 and was a considerable hazard to any Soviet fleet movements in the Baltic, something they proved beyond doubt during Operation Mannerheims Sköld. They where retired in 1991, at the same time as the order for F-18s was completed.

Sadly no, since all these are fictional. The Finns used the Blenheim until 1956 for the Bomber Role. I`ve been wanting one of those as well as the Saab 18 for the mod for quite some time.
