Gepard

I dont know, wheter it will be possible, in SF2 world, to fit a plane with movable guns against groundtargets.

Technology "transfer" was not a one way road. If you look from above to a F-111, a Mirage G-8 or a MiG-23 you find astonishing similarities. Same with MiG-25 and F-15. Or if you take the MiG Ye-8, which basic design idea was used for the F-16A. Or the Leopard 1 tank which has a lot of features of the T-34/85 design. The most important design "transfer" from west to east was the F-5E, which was captured in 1975 by the Nort Vietnamese. Twin engine design, strake wings, comfortable cockpit, good view, wing design etc of the F-5E you find in the MiG-29.

I found the time to include the parking plane positions of Montevideo Airport. 16 parking slots for small planes and 16 for large planes.

This will be the last step of terrain development, because it required a lot of new tiles. This are the sea tile, the coastline tiles for farmland and cities and transition tiles for brown to blue water. And this for two tilesets. I think 40 to 50 new tiles or so.

View File Varyag Aircraft Carrier What if: Aircraft Carrier "Varyag" ex Kremlin Class ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. History Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class. The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or westeuropean carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of projece 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K as air group of the Baku. The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov. When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet. The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varyag (Varangian). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaonang. In this mod the fiction is, that the Ukraine finished the carrier and used it under the name "Varyag" (Varangian) as flagship of their Navy. The difference between Varyag and Kuznetov mod is that the ukrainian ship has no ship to ship missiles. Remark to the name : Google translator gave me the translation "Варязький". Wikipedia say "Варяг" is correct. I'm not sure about it. Thatswhy i include both version. As standard i use "Варяг". Name files for "Варязький" you find in a subfolder under decals/Varyag/Varyaskij. If you want to use this name version, copy the files from Varyaskij folder to Varyag folder and let overwrite the existing one. I'm not sure wheter "Варязький" is written correctly. Perhaps it must be "Варязькиi". If someone know, send me a PM. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

The current planning map for version 1.2. You see the new place for Montevideo, that Tandil is moved to the west (Its still not yet the real life position), a new airfield for the Argentinians, the grey spots in Argentina which mark smaler towns and a little bit difficult to see the riverdelta north of Buenos Aires. What i will do till release of v.1.2: -creating the urugayan airbase between Punta del Este and Punta Negra, sorry i have forgotten the same at the moment. -adding some more towns in Argentina

Thanks a lot!!

Do you give the T-55AM-1 the Bastion missile? Was a nice weapon. In top attacker mode it could kill any tank up to 4.000 meters.

First i made riverforks by using rivermouth tiles, but the result was not satisfying. There were blue spots in brown rivers. Not so good. Thatwhy i made a new tile for riverforks. So it looks in game:

In the Military Museum in Dresden one T-55AM-2 was to seen. The side panels were made by rubber with textile inlays, like it is used by a conveyer belt. But it is much thicker. IIRC 2 or 3 cm or so. Steel inlays were not to seen. And of course you can spray paint over it, but how long will this last? After a while parts of the paint will falling off. I will try to find a photo of the Dresden T-55AM-2 in my archive. EDIT: I found it: The "DK" letters at the fuel barrel is typical german, it stands for Dieselkraftstoff. BTW if you look to the front of the T-72M, which you see in the last picture, then you see the bars in the triangle on the bow. This bars are a fast indicator how thick the frontal armour of the T-72 is. The rule say: as more bars, as thinner the armour.

Nice job. Well done. One Remark. The side covers of the hull are black. They are made by thick rubber.

As requested by our argentinian friends i moved the Tandil Airbase to the west. For game balance reasons i created a temporary airfield at the place of the former Tandil Airbase. So the new airfield looks in game:
