Hello. If you have not noticed, I have acted upon an old idea dubbed "Carrier Duels". The general idea is that a Carrier - sometimes with a small escort screen and sometimes without - fights off against another Carrier in an attempt to at least try to be balanced. So far, I have done "Nimitz vs Kitty Hawk" and "Norskehavet vs Kiev". Aside from constructive criticism on what I can improve, I would like suggestions to new duels. So, shoot. What do you wish to see?

View File Carrier Duel: KNM Norskehavet vs the Kiev CARRIER DUEL This is a modification pitting the fictional Norwegian Carrier KNM Norskehavet vs Soviet Aviation Crusier Kiev on a sea battlefield. Each Carrier carries their compliment; Kiev a flight of helicopters and Yak-38s; Norskehavet F-11s & S-3As. This is a less intense engagement since neither side really has the firepower to finish the other off and the pace is slower. It makes for a refreshing change of pace from three tons of Crusie Missiles. Due to issues; Only the Norskehavet Force is playable. Good luck and may the best Air Crew win. Requirements: You are required to own Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic for this mod to work properly. Everything else is included. Beware: The mod has its own alterations of the Kiev. If you have a modded Kiev, simply change CarrierNumSquadrons=1 to CarrierNumSquadrons=4 and continue normal use. Installation: Unzip into the Saved Games/Thirdwire/Strike Figthers 2 North Atlantic (or any mod folder of your choice, connected to SF2: NA). Please do read the enclosed credits, as without the work of those mentioned, this modification could not be made. Submitter JonathanRL Submitted 04/11/2013 Category User Made Campaigns

IanH: Cadette has the source files. He did a revamp of the Gripen about a year ago and added the D variant.

I have; but I put it off as "less important for the moment" and thus no work ever begun.

View File Carrier Duel: Nimitz vs Kitty Hawk This is a modification pitting the USS Nimitz vs the USS Kitty Hawk on a sea battlefield. Escorts are included, but merely to provide balance to the surface defence capacities of the ships. This package contains two campaigns, one for each carrier. None of the Carriers aircraft compliments are correct but are to be shown as representative of respective eras. Each Carrier carries a Fighter Squadron (F-14A/F-4N), a medium strike squadron (A-4E/A-7E) and a heavy attack squadron (A-6 Intruders). They also carry two E-2 Hawkeye Squadrons each, to provide naval recon and early warning. Good luck and may the best Air Crew win. Requirements: You are required to own Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam & Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic for this mod to work properly. The mod only use stock items. Recommended: A Cockpit for A-6A / A-6E_79 is recommended. The F-4N DLC is also recommended. Installation: Unzip into the Saved Games/Thirdwire/Strike Figthers 2 North Atlantic (or any mod folder of your choice, connected to SF2: NA & SF2: Vietnam).

I lost hope in Jet Thunder when they failed to meet their new, partitioned release date. Too bad, since it looked to be something rather interesting. This may however encourage TK to make a "SF2 South Atlantic" now when the competition he always pointed as hindrance is gone... aw, who am I kidding.

Too bad they got heat for it; as far as I heard, on the last day of a cruise or similar big event, the launch crew on a Carrier wears Togas.

The Doctor is correct. I do not see the Additional Pylons either. Also, the Gripen-Es body (not sure if wings are included in this) is about 35% larger then the Gripen E, and unless I am mistaken (and I very well may be), this aircraft is the same size as the C version.

I shall put my fair but critical gaze upon it. I have need for a Gripen-E; if I ever get my butt onwards to actually start making campaigns again :D

...when you get a Strike Mission and automaticly reviews the best way to destroy a Comm Building ;-)

Name in the game is RazorFive Keep an eye out!

It was a mistake to allow NK to get nukes in the first place. I am quite certain NK would have been dealt with already if not for the Nukes. ...and commanded by the worlds best Starcraft players

Is it Swimming then? :P

Then you lack the proper Airstrips. The Sweden terrain lends most of its items from the SF2: Europe part of things. Try downloading Starys HD pack, and see if that helps as he may or may not use different airstrips. Otherwise, a bit of .ini tampering would be needed to fix the airfield issue.

This is not one of those. First of all, you seem to have a rather nasty infestation of Russians. You may want to clear it out ;-) Second; are you using TSF or Swedish Terrain as downloaded on this very site? Third; do you have SF2: Europe?

That is the Saab 60; the Swedish Trainer. We do not fly props but go to Jets straight away. I have the 3D files for it, but it seems its a long way until we can get it into SF2.

In Sweden, as a recruting tool; soldiers are encouraged to blog, photograph and videoblog about their experience. There are two cadets who however taken this one step further: Enjoy

This. But as I recall, it´s alot more to it. "Contact Fantans. Request permission to chase." "Negative Raptor Lead, Return to base immediately." "Are you going to listen to him or are we going to finish what we started?" "I am warning you, Raptor Lead. Abort Abort Abort" Still, those Fantans was a Secondary Objective so of course you engage.... :D I wish they release a HD version of this. Or at least one that does not make me have to use Dosbox or the Wine Install trick.

So Aliens did it? Sorry, but that is the impression History Channel gives a little too often. However, I may be wrong but has not the spark theory been brought forward for years?

Loving it!

The loadout for Naval Strikes needs to be in this format: [sTRIKE_NAVAL] DefaultFor=STRIKE_NAVAL It is not supposed to. Anti-Shipping missions are Strike missions. However, do you have aircraft with the Naval Search role? And the SEAD_NAVAL role? I am not sure if this is required, but it also make things alot more fun. SEAD_Naval will attack escorts and Naval Search will try to find the enemy (A PBY or Dauntless would be great for this role). Checking my files, I notice my Lansen does not use the Naval_Strike line, but instead use NAVAL_ATTACK. Try using that in the Aircraft line and see if it works. Good luck!

Blenheim & TBF Avenger.

Well, "Magic" and "Magic", the capture of Iceland was in more then one theorised NATO-Warsaw Pact conflict considered a possibility. There is nothing magic about it; Iceland is simply too big to be defended with what is in effect supporting forces.
