Somebody heard the Soviet Navy is hunting Tomcats and offered a token support...

My review at CtrlAltElite have been published: http://www.ctrlaltelite.se/2012/03/14/recension-strike-fighters-2-north-atlantic/ (It is in Swedish) http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ctrlaltelite.se%2F2012%2F03%2F14%2Frecension-strike-fighters-2-north-atlantic%2F&act=url Google Translate Note that their rule is that I do not put the total score. I give the separate scores and the editor calculates this into the total.

You really should make a fictional "Island Home defence force" with J-32Bs :D

I just did a guest review of SF2: NA for a Swedish site I worked with before, and I have to say while SIM HQ brings up relevant points about the bugs, the fact is he lets almost a quarter of the review be just about them. The work standard is to mention bugs but not to this almost hilariously large extent. One would think he got an axe to grind with TK. Btw, if you wonder WHY one never makes a review largely about bugs, its because most day 1 bugs are fixed whereupon the review becomes obsolete and you have to rewrite it.

Cage? I left that one behind when I set up a new partition just to try out a mod idea :D

Did some futher testing with above. Do not know why, but triggering a flight of Lansens with RB-04 with Crusie Missile Attack made them break and engage SAMs. Either Crusie Missiles need a certain setting or something is amiss. However, flying Strike Missions with them is entirely feasible despite "Strike" command being omitted entirely.. Going to test an anti-ship mission next.

Aight, We will prob implement SF2: NA features into the game soon, and I will make sure the cockpit fix is implemented :)

CONFIRMED: AI Roles from SF2: NA now works in installations without SF2: NA I created a seperate testbed on a seperate drive with no connections to SF2: NA, then entered the following: PrimaryRoles=NAVAL_SEARCH,SEAD_ESCORT,ESCORT_SHIP,ESCORT_JAMMER,ESCORT_DECOY,CRUISE_MISSILE I am happy Swede :)

Stop stealing Daves ponys!

Firing missiles - like a BOSS! Also, the Soviets seemed to have a dullness tracker to find the AWACs. EDIT: Also confirmed that SF2: NA roles was patched into non NA installations with march patch.

You dont want to hear it. Intercepting the crusie missiles is a pain.

Check a map and use your navigation skills. Are you going to nuke it? Btw, I have tried to find Björks house, No joy. Let me know if you find it.

That sounds like a cockpit bug. Can you list what SF2 Games you have?

So, where are the trees? Even Red Storm Rising brings that up, tbf. Few if any trees. (Thats Iceland btw, not the Falklands)

Oh, dont worry about the Terrain. I think TK just listened too much to Á Sprengisandi and tought entire Iceland looked like that. Could be worse. Could been a gigantic Iceberg ;-) In all seriousness, I expected more too, but the main features of SF2: NA as far as I am concerned is above the deck and in/over the Ocean :) That does not mean I would not cheer madly if we could use FSX Terrains in SF2 :D

Karlskrona Naval Base is NOT near Stockholm. Check a map... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlskrona NATO is too smart. They dont want to get directly involved. I seriously want subhunting, but doubtful we will get a campaign only for it.

Yea, but the DLLs still need to be present. I want the new settings to be available to somebody who does not have SF2: NA installed. Most of the TSF Fan Crowd in the Swedish Flight Community only have Europe.

I hope many of the scripting features will be ported to the other games so I can use them in TSF. Crusie missiles, AI Roles and the ship task forces in particular would be awesome.

Hah, that will be fun in the Range Terrains :D Range Controller aircraft launching target drones :D Quite awesome, myyes.

We are going to need a seperate thread for what we discovered in SF2:NA with the Extractor :D

Battle of Leyte Gulf comes to mind. I would suspect the reason is TK wants the Task Forces to engage each other, but they don´t.

Oh, flying a F-105D (66) in the Campaign with the help of the customizer is FUN. Only ECM, few if any countermeasures and speed at your disposal. You have to navigate the canyons of Iceland to survive. Lovely!

Huzzah, now I can use my Chaff :D

No, only in campaign it seems.
