The Scandinavian Front Saab J-35S Draken Ilmavoimat Package
By Team TSF & Friends
 
The second and final new-build Draken order came from the Suomen Ilmavoimat (Finnish Air Force) in April 1970 for 12 all-weather interceptor 35XS (export Suomi) aircraft to be built in Finland by Valmet from Swedish "knock-down" parts. Seven J35Bs, stripped of all-weather avionics, were leased to the Ilmavoimat in 1972 as the 35BS in preparation for the new aircraft and were bought outright in 1976.
 
The first new build aircraft were delivered in April 1974, the last of the new aircraft arrived in 1975 and all were designated 35S. Six ex-Swedish J35Fs (as the 35FS) and three Sk35Cs (as 35CSs) were bought in 1976 at the same time as the 35BS aircraft mentioned above, and another ex-J35F (18 aircraft) and Sk35C (2 aircraft) order followed in 1984. The arrival of two-seat trainers in Finland meant that pilot conversion could now take place "at home" instead of in Sweden.
 
Initially Drakens were delivered to HävLLv 11 of the Hämeen Lennosto (Häme region Wing) based at Tikkakoski near Jyväskylä in central Finland. Later, HävLLv 11 relocated to the extreme north, taking up residence at the base of Rovaniemi within Lapin Lennosto (Lapland region Wing). In 1984 a second Draken unit was formed as HävLLv 21 of the Satakunnan Lennosto (Satakunta region Wing) at Pirkkala, near Tampere in south-western Finland.
 
This package contains three aircraft. J 35BS, J 35S & J 35S 1990 refit. They are correctly armed with Swedish-built missiles.
 
Have fun, Juhis!

The Scandinavian Front Saab F-35 Draken Flyvevabnet Package
By Team TSF & Friends
 
Danish export version: F-35 single-seat strike aircraft, The type was heavily modified to make it into a strike aircraft; compared to the Swedish versions the outer wings where completely redesigned, and the radar was missing. These aircraft could carry heavy bombs as well as Bullpup missiles, during the WDNS upgrade of the 1980s they received the ALQ-162 jammer a Marconi 900 Series HUD and a Ferranti LRMTS (laser rangefinder and marked target seeker)
 
Package contains two aircraft, F 35 version and the upgraded F 35 (82) version. Both birds are nice strike aircraft, albeit more sluggish then the standard Draken. Have fun!
 
Installation:

Please note:
Loadouts are not entirely accurate. I taken a few liberties with the 82 version, as sources was hard to find. Also, the air intake rail was usually reserved for the Bullpup but I reserved it for the quite exellent Sidewinder Rails made by Volker.

SF2E: TSF Operation Isbjörn 1.5
By Team TSF
 
THIS IS THE PATCH VERSION; NOT STAND-ALONE!!!!!!!!!
 
Installation:
To apply this patch, you need TSF: Operation Isbjörn 1.4 installed. Download it here;
http://combatace.com/files/file/12562-sf2e-tsf-operation-isbjorn/
 
You may also require SF2: NA but at the present, it should work fine without. It all comes down to TKs changes or lack thereof.
 
Unzip in TSF Folder; allow any overwrites.

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: Operation Isbjörn: Submarine Hunters Mission Pack
By The Scandinavian Front Team
 
Stratos, this one is for you
 
Summary:
 
I am still trying to get this to work in the campaigns, but with Anti-Ship not working for defensive and all, it has been difficult to implement - to say the least since Scandinavian Forces always are on the defensive.
 
So I am releasing it in this format. An Aircraft, and a few Single Missions.
 
It is an Addon, you _WILL_ need Operation Isbjörn 1.1 or greater (current version is 1.4, so don't worry about that). This is due to Terrain and other Aircraft involved and me being sheer Lazy.
 
Link: http://combatace.com/files/file/12562-sf2e-tsf-operation-isbjorn/
 
So, what is this all about?
 
You will hunt Submarines, thats what. Best enjoyed with visual targeting and HUD on HARD. Good luck finding the sneaky little bastards. For you without Mission Editor, I have set up four different scenarios for you. Enjoy !
 
Installation:
Unzip into your Strike Figthers 2 TSF Mod Folder.

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:
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:\User \Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. 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.

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.

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: 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 Isbjörn 1.1 Patch
You need Operation Isbjörn main package installed for this to work:
http://combatace.com/files/file/12318-sf2e-the-scandinavian-front-operation-isbjorn/
 
Kindly note main package version number as it may have been upgraded to include patches.
 
FEATURES:
 
New Squadron: F 1 Hässlö
Operating J 33 Venoms, they are preforming Night Fighter duties for the Swedish Air Force. They will hunt Soviet Aircraft in all mission types
under the cover of darkness.
Minor Changes:
- Minor Tweaks to Ground War. Helsinki should now not be the first city attacked.
 
- Naming tweaks
 
- A number of minor campaign changes.
 
- paulopanz J 34 Hawker Hunter added for people w/o DLC 008.
 
Note:
The Venom is not the NF version, hence it lacks Radar. This is not a big issue in SF2, as the MiGs you encounter glady
put on their afterburners in case you cannot see them properly.
 
Credits:
Thanks to: Pasko, Column5, Gramps, Wrench and paulopanz for the Venom.
Thanks Knug for the J33 Skin.

SF2E: The Scandinavian Front
Operation Isbjörn
By Jonathan RL
 
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.
 
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.
 
Aside from that, no other downloads required. The package contains all necessary aircraft, weapons and objects.
 
While the DLC 008 Hawker Hunter is not required, its strongly recommended for this campaign. If you want J28B Vampire Squadrons, you need to own SF2: Israel Expansion Pack 1.
 
Kindly report any bugs or issues to me by PM or in proper thread.

Avionics Upgrade by Wrench.
 
All I did was to seperate it all into the three service versions, as
per the sources of the book "Lansen" by Sven Stridsberg.
 
Versions included in this package:
 
Swedish Air Force:
A-32A Lansen (F17 Blekinge)
J-32B Lansen (F1 Västmanlands Flygflottilj)
S-32C Lansen (F11 Södermanlands Flygflottilj)
 
A-32A:
Attack version, fitted with bombs for ground targets and the Robot 04 for Ships. The basis for "CIC Club", the first strike that would annihilate Soviet Ships on the Baltic. Carrying a Thirdwire substitute for Bofors AKAN 20mm Guns. Standard Military Green skin.
 
J-32B:
All Weather Figther, however most used as a Night Figther and thus, this is as well.
Its set to Night Only, so be mindful of this if you use it with the Campaign Editor.
Carrying 4x 30mm Aden guns. Silver Skin.
 
S-32C:
Recon Version, carrying photoflash bombs. Added mostly for novelty value. Aside from that,
you are left to your own speed and devices to evade the enemy. Experimental Low-Alt Skin.
 
Enjoy!

Dhimar, 1959.
 
The Swedish Goverment, buying most of their oil from Dhimar has decided to deploy Fighters to the region of Dhimar to aid the defence of the Kingdom. This is the first war for the Swedes in 150 years...
 
Information:
 
This campaign will not overwrite anything, and is a minimal change from the SF2 Campaign.
 
It will add Division 22, a Swedish Squadron flying the J-29F Tunnan or the DLC J-34 Hawker Hunter in the defence of the Dhimari Empire
during the 59´ Campaign. The idea for this is from an AAR I posted with a custom made campaign, and some players of the game asked
for a playable copy, with a minimal of hazzle.
 
As such, all you need is included.
 
However, instead of the J-35A Upgrade, i decided to include a What-If "Field Refit" of the J-29F, nicknamed the JA-29D.
The campaign will upgrade to this aircraft in 1963, since I belive this is more plauable then new aircraft being sent down.
 
The J29F is made by Wrench, and the readme is included. Big thanks to him for supplying it.
 
To fly the J34 Hawker Hunter in the campaign, you must own the DLC. I really recommend picking it up.
 
That is about all...
Happy huntin!
 
 
 
1.1
- A Beta tester playing only in SF2 reported Cockpit problems with the J29F. A fix has been included to remedy this if it appears.
 
- Fixed a bug where the J-34 Hawker Hunter DLC would not appear in the Campaign.

Operation Longbow 1.1
By JonathnanRL
 
As the 1975 Dhimar-Paran war ends with the exile of Parans Emperor, a discovery is made in the
deepest corner of Parani Mountains. A mineral mine, large enough alone to sustain the Empires economy
for generations to come have been discovered, much to the dismay of the Dhimari whose oil supply after decades
of war have either been spent, burned or sold.
 
As the eighties arrive, Paran have reinforced their Air Force with western jets, cut most of their ties with the
Soviet Union and become a member of the United Nations. Dhimar however does not trust the military buildup in the
region and argues that a pre-emtive strike to "subdue" Paran is necessary. The Kingdoms true goal, however
is control of the mineral mine.
 
The United States, seeing the need to aid their ally reluctantly sends Air Force and Marine Corps Squadrons to the
region in order to defend the Kingdom, should Paran attack.
 
On the last of Januari, 1983, A lone Parani Mirage strafes the American F-15s based at D3 Airfield. The next day,
The Kingdom of Dhimar attacks the Empire of Paran. Angered by the attack upon their Forces, Ronald Reagan
orders the US Forces to support the Dhimari Offensive...

Operation Desert Foothold
by JonathanRL
 
In 1956, right before the engagement at Suez and Operation Musketeer, Israel requested further Air Units in their
vicinity as added saftey in case more Arab Nations would join the War. Brittish and French Air Squadrons are
placed in the Kingdom of Dhimar under the pretext of training the Dhimarian Air Force. This is given further
credibility by offering a large number of Hawker Hunter Aircraft at low prices. Dhimar, feeling pressured
and threathened by the Empire of Paran, agrees and - as per contract - request Brittish and French aid
to defend their oil fields until such a time Dhimar can defend itself.
 
Meanwhile, Egypt who are fighting Israel are not fooled by this show. Suspecting that the French and Brittish
will be used to engage them in the near future, deployes a single flight of MiG-15s and encourages their ally
to launch a suprise attack upon Dhimar, promising them Dhimar and its oil wells if Paran succeeds.
 
The Empire of Paran Air Force consisting mostly of Spitfires and P51s with elite units flying Hunters and
possesing a considerable force of Canberras makes ready for the suprise attack against the outnumbered Allies...
 
Flyable Aircraft
French Air Force: Mystere IV (IAF Camo), P51, F-84F
Brittish Air Force: Hunter2, Meteor, Spitfire, Vampire Mk9
