*waves with a Swedish Flag* Some of us was actually offended by that. We should have participated. Sweden is far to left wing sometimes. Im glad for my double citizenships (Service in Bundeswehr is a benefit on the German end, Swedes did not want me...wussies). Having lived in Sweden all my life, I know praising Israel is frowned upon, one of our news agencies beeing largely to blaim for that, beeing the mouthpiece of the Palestinian Terrorist Groups.

I am currently raping a Falklands Terrain. They look basicly the same and the Falklands once has the added benefit of "Water airfield" - i.g the Russians dont have any Åland airfield yet. This is primary for Beta testing tough. The mod is almost finished, its just the campaign bugs I need to sort out and most of them is about the Terrain. I also started trying to custom make a terrain myself, but that goes slow.

"God Morgon, det här är Aktuellt med de senaste nyheterna. Efter Sovjetunionens krav att bygga en flottbas på Åland för deras bruk har Sveriges regering beslutat att bryta det avtal som i händelse av krig garanterar Ålands neutralitet. I ett uttalande idag säger CH Hermansson, Ordförande för Sveriges Kommunistiska parti att handlingen är diskutabel och bryter mot..." He shut off the TV and turned around to face the person who entered the room. "Well?" "Sir, We now have three squadrons stationed upon the Island. Tanks from 4th Batallion are also en route with fleet transports." "Thats all we can muster?" "For now. The rest will not reach Åland in time to engage the first wave." "Was there any problems with F18?" "No sir. We found a suitable location." "Dismissed, soldier." The adjutant saluted and left the room. The General picked up the phone. "What about Finland " he asked bluntly. "Wildcard. But Ill think they are with us on this one." "Think?" "Nothing official yet. They are spooked." "And Nato?" "They wont risk Nucelar War over this, sir. We are on our own." 1965. Soviet demands that Åland will be surrendered to the Soviet Union in order to build a base for the Baltic Fleet. Sweden and Finland. Sweden and Finland, Hopelessly outnumbered will have to try and hold back the tide... ORDER OF BATTLE; FIRST BATTLE OF ÅLAND: 1965. Sweden - Flyable Squadrons F14 "Jägarna" - Flying J34 Hunters. Home Base: Mariehamn Airfield F18 "Huvudstadsjakten" - Flying J35 Drakens. Home Base: Local strip of road, Western Åland.

Screenshots coming soon.

Hello. I am currently in the late stages of creating a Battle for Aeland Campaign with Swedish Air Force defending the Island and - guess who the bad guys are. At any rate; At this time the mod is purely for my own entertainment but I would like to get in touch with the following creators: Makers for: "J-33 Venom" Skin and Mod. "J28B Vampire" Skin and Aircraft. (The Venom mod with preinstalled Swe skin) "J34 Hunter" Skin and Aircraft (The Hunter F6 mod with preinstalled Swe skin) J29 Tunnan Aircraft J35 Draken Aircraft J37 Viggen Aircraft J39 Gripen Aircraft (Expect a PM, I know you who are ) Creator of the Falklands Skin for WoE (I raped it into Aeland... they look pretty much the same at any rate...) Here is the question I give to you all: Is it okey if I release a mod with your content, giving you full credit in the readme? If not, please contact me via this thread or PM. I bask in your unseen presence for the Aircraft btw...

Thats the kind of medic an infantryman wants! The Bundeswehr part of me salutes her - and so does the rest of me. /salute.

Viggen, Correct me if I am wrong but is not the F-11 Tiger the only plane to ever have shot down itself (with guns, no less)? At any rate, I dont belive it either. Screenshot or it did not happen

Since we do got a Screenshot thread, I wanted people to post videos they made in the Wings over Series. My first one; Attack on the Hermes: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=19...24668&hl=en Standard Issue, Two Super Etendards engage a Hermes Class Carrier. Nothing special really. My second vid; Turkish Air Force Tribute: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=84...32146&hl=en Made it for a MSN buddy in Turkey. Shows a Turkish Air Force F-16 engage Israeli Figthers (because he wanted it that way) My Third vid; Swedish Air Force Tribute: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5875258752740910030 Made because I wanted to do something with the music, played it along with a Dogfight in the Tunnan and it matched. The best of the three - at least according to me. Shows the planes in the roles they would have in a war.

I feel young compared to you lot! Anybody who can spot the error on this picture?

I just duked it out with a Jordanian F-104A in 1967. Only requirement for me not getting my ass kicked would be clear skies... Had to add a cockpit to it tough, and I added the J-39 Cockpit, just because I did not have the time to enjoy the plane in WoE... Thanks to Bounder, I now also can fly the Hunter. I scored a Mirage in that thing. Could have scored the one on the second picture as well, but I ran out of Ammo. She is a nice bird to fly.

So - I have downloaded and played some missions now: First thing. I am embarassed to admit this but basicly the first thing that happened was that I was shot down. By a MiG-17. Usually, MiG-17s are only target practice for me, nothing really serious - Just something to waste your Sidewinders at if there is nothing other in the area. I was flying a Close Air Support mission, loading up my Nesher to the point it was hard to get off the ground. I went in there, saved the troops and saw Snoopy buy it from SAM. I slow down, turning to destroy the SAM with my last Snakeeye when I notice the MiG-17 behind me. Pulling upp to Full Throttle, I call for my wingman to swap the annoying little fly while I take evasive action. But no, Muhammed would not allow me that. Firing a burst, he scored a hit in my tail section, and another one hit the Wing. It was just to bail out and live to fight another day. The second mission was equally simple. I loaded an A-4 with two bombs and two Aim-9s and took off in order to destroy ships outside Tyre. MiG-19s entered the fray in order to stop me and unlike the previous time, I did not have a figther escort. Knowing that the Wingman could hit the target on his own, I ejected the bombs and went to meet the two MiGs, scoring one with Guns on the flyby. Chasing down the other, Red Crown alerted me of more bandits coming in - a bit more serioius opposition consisting of MiG-21s. This time I knew I could get a Atoll upp my engine so I flew low and fast trying to shake them while my wingman hit the ship - and the MiGs was not fooled at all. My wingman got torn to shreds and I was now alone. Firing a sidewinder at the MiG-19, I then decided it was time to disengage. One kill, and mission failed. This game is really an improvement! Btw, anybody want to try out the Multiplayer and can point me in the directions of some active servers?

Have they added Warships in the Anti-Ship missions yet?

YES! I finnaly got it for my Custom "Battle of Aeland 1990" campaign. Poor bastards, the Ruskies will never know what him them!

It would be great if you could tell us HOW to make them flyable too, please.

Mirage Factory FTW!

While people stopped calling ships "unsinkable" since 1912, I Agree that Exocets might not do enought damage, but that does not mean that they are unsinkable. However, A few Exocets are more then enought to sink a Hermes class Carrier. For the last two years, American Carriers and Destroyers have practiced against a Swedish conventional submarine in order to learn how to detect them. This is because Iran have a number of similar, very silent submarines witch can be equipped with a new russian torpedo (forgot its name). This torpedo does have the firepower to severly cripple a carrier, and several hits would sink it. While an attacker might be satisfied with only disabling the carrier or make it unable to conduct air operations, out goal is to sink it. Aircraft is out of the question unless we can use a lot and a lot of "vampires" (Air-to-Sea Missiles). A carriers missile and phalnax system, and their AEGIS escorts as well as fighters can destroy hundreds of missiles. The best way to take an carrier would be a cordinated attack. Use airplanes to distract the surface fleet, use scuds if in range and let the Subs do the killing. It might also be preferable to use subs against AEGIS crusiers instead of the carrier, giving the "Vampires" a better chance not to get shot down. I will try to keep this my last reply so I dont get accused of trolling and I will npw also go and read the thread you hinted of. I like theese kind of debates.

Please read "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy.

SHOWTIME FLIGHT: OPERATION ATHENS. OBJECTIVE: Destroy enemy "R12" Class Carriers. SHOWTIME FLIGHT: (Showtime 11, Showtime 12) Two Super Etendards with standard Air-to-Sea arnament consisting of extra fuel, Exocet Missiles and Matra Magic IIs for Anti-Air Defence. Pilots are advised to cordinate their missile launches for maximum effect. (Showtime 13, Showtime 14) Two SAAB Viggens armed with AIM-9B Air to Air Missiles MISSION TARGET: Two R12 Class Carriers. Currently no operable aircraft onboard. Expect Heavy Anti Aircraft fire from Flack and Missile batteries. Mission Recorder Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1971486519879124668 (Low Res) (Will try to upload a hi res version on CombatAce)

Rifle! Works great now. Appears the Hermes goes down after three hits and the Harry S Truman after seven. (Hits: Exocet Impacts)

After a 4 plane flight of Mirages armed with Exocet missiles failed to destroy the Carrier HMS Hermes despite the fact that all four missiles hit the target and after the HMS Hermes tore up my wingman with a s**tload of flack, I searched the forums here and discovered that Carriers could not be destroyed. How to make Carriers destroyable. I dont need em to act as airfields or anything, just tell me how to destroy them with a moderatate effort. Would be great if the carrier was destroyed after 3 exocet hits or something but If that is not possible, just tell me how to make em destroyable.

A Eurofigther would not be bad either!

If you have been flying on Easy mode, check so that the game has not changed theese settings.

*drools on Keyboard* Must...download...now... Btw, can you tell us what plane each squadron flies, please?

Give it to us, baby!

Due to the fact that Sweden would not pose that large of a threath to Soviet, but still have a NATO Friendly goverment, it is not likeley that Sweden would be able to stay out of the war.

Btw, can we NOW get a Swedish Squadron? Or maybe a Norwegian Squadron. Norway had an Important role in the 1985 book "red storm rising" featuring a Soviet invasion. Suggestion for Norway Squadrons includes: Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter (25th Recon Squadron) Canadair CF-104 Starfighter (4th Figther Wing) Republic RF-84F Thunderflash (7th Attack Wing) Suggestions for Swedish Squadrons: SAAB 29 "Tunnan" (Fighter Wing 19 - F19) SAAB 35 "Draken" (Figther Wing 10 - F10) Suggestions for New Danish Squadron: SAAB 35 Draken (ESK 725) SAAB 35 Draken (ESK 729)
