Hello! I'm making this thread to announce a project I've been working on slowly since SF2NA came out. Similar to NATO Fighters or the Vietnam Expansion, the goal is to enhance every element of the North Atlantic theatre and campaign. Below is what I've got planned.
Stage 1: Northern Scabbard (1978): Northern Scabbard is a series of three campaigns primarily focused on the 58th FIS. Why three campaigns? 1978 was a busy year for the squadron. They transitioned from the F-4C to the F-4E, had F-106s supplement them during the transition, and went from the SEA scheme to ADC Grey. The campaigns will also feature accurate* USN CV/CVN and CVW deployments, as well as Royal Air Force and USMC deployments.
Northern Sabre+: Stock, Northern Sabre is a fun campaign, but it's kind of empty. The intent of Northern Sabre+ is to increase amount NATO and Soviet forces in the area. Northern Sabre+ will include French Navy forces and USMC air assets.
Along with this will come tweaks to the IcelandNA to feature Soviet SAM sites.
Stage 2: Stage 2 will include 1956, 1962, and 1968 campaigns, and as close to accurate US Navy carrier groups.
Stage 3: Nordic Rush (1987): Nordic Rush is the most modern of the campaigns and is also the one I've already completed. As crazy as it sounds, there's FIVE(!) battle groups! Two USN, one RN, two Soviet. The only issue is it's at home on a flash drive 600 miles away and could use updates.
So those are the campaign plans. As expected, these will entail a lot of third party mods. 95% of the mods are available here. The Long Beach, DD-931, DDG-2 will be listed in the files but won't be required.
What's needed:
57th F-4C SEA skin
57th F-4C ADC Grey skin
A-4M (not a necessity, but I'd sure like to have it in the campaign)
More information on USMC deployments in the Atlantic, whether assigned to a CVW or a ground tour/TDY
More TBA.
