Nordic V3
-
Right, the campaigns in NTO is a small part of the start of ww3. Assuming War all over the globe is going on as well. We can look at some other f16s. I don’t know about these. would a added skin choice do? Or are we talking db work?
Skins would be easy. We could have them both in the docs’ skin folder and or added as a choice to db later.
Why not yes, add BE/NL Sqn. and we have the EPAF nation. All is MLU F-16, some little difference with BE F-16 and the Carapace ECM.

IHMO it can be meade alternative extra campaigns where some sq. (1-2 other DAN/NL, etc) F-16 can be present but this also should have effect on roster of red side to make balanced the campaign. In my Korea '80s MOD were alternative campaigns with F-20 Tigershark and as I can remember with F-16 Block 15 ADF even in RL they never left USA. (Some people felt unfair to fly only AIM-9s against BVR capable OPFOR ASFs.)

I really like the idea of extra campaigns. I try to encourage people to build them and post them as we do TEs.
I could set up some custom campaigns to include more of the neighboring countries’ Jets pretty easy, just need to ask around for the correct skins and sqdn numbers and things like that. The model differences (said pod)would have to either be overlooked, or worked on by modeler. I would ask ccc, but this is all just ideas for v3 right now. So for now I will add it to the list of things to do.

this skin is easy to fix up as Italy, Now, V3 has currently 4 paint jobs for F35B. USMC,TUAF, UK, ITALY. from Ranger822 and Dfang
These may be in next KTO-2012 before you see them in NTOV3, also Model may be changing soon…

Thanks a lot, Ned, you made it.
To be honest, I don’t know if our Navy (Marina) will ever get to have some, due to the constant Italian balance expenses cutoff, but at least 6th Stormo will.
With best regards,

For those perhaps wondering about what is next for Nordic (I am sure are 1 or 2 two people out there besides myself) I thought I might throw a few ideas out there - see if something sticks.
In addition to fixing some of the bugs/issues in the Bugs/Issues V2.1 thread, we are looking at a few new things:
1. The Swedes, at the height of the Cold War had a very interesting network of communications for command and control and a lot of dispersed airfields, that in time of war would see aircraft sent to. These airfields were small in nature, integrated into the road networks and, it was hoped would prove much more difficult to deal with than a few larger airbases with aircraft consolidated in just a few locations. Besides, being a very interesting read, it makes for a very interesting concept for Falcon to try to implement. The project would involve building or remastering a few unused airbase objectives and putting together some new airbase tiles to put under them.
2. There are a few additional aircraft to upgrade the database, but not many; a) A-7D Corsair II, A-7E Corsair II, JAS-39C, JAS-39D and to add a few new aircraft: Victor Aerial Tanker, P3C Orion. Some additional aircraft may be upgraded depending on what presents in BMS 4.34.
3. The skins to add include (from the skins page): a) JAS-39C (using existing model), b) JAS-39D (using existing model), Bae Hawk Winter Scheme, Jaguar Winter Scheme, F-4E Euro I, A-10 Winter Scheme, SU-57.
4. We have considered some upgrades/or new aircraft carriers with some extra detail like LHD Class, Nimitz Class, and Kuznetsov.
If you have some suggestions please don’t hesitate to suggest.
First, thanks a lot for the Nordic theatre. As a Finn this gave a lot of more goose bumps than other maps, which are great too. However having large aircraft carriers at Bothnian Bay is quite unrealistic. There is only couple of sea lanes in the middle of the Bothnian Bay and the depth of those are 10m. Big aircraft carriers have a draft of 11m. Anywhere aside of the 20m wide lane, it is a lot shallower having natural obstacles (shallow rocky reefs). It would be a death trap for any such larger open seas vessel. Most operating navy ships are littoral class type there.
It has been also mentioned that both FiAF and SwAF planes would be dispersed to several highway bases. I would guess that the number of planes per moving base, would be somewhere around 2-6. This might be impossible do in BMS, but would it be possible to split the squadrons to have more of them and smaller total numbers/base?
Anyways, thanks again for this great map and great campaign. Here’s an old promo video of FiAF from the cold war era (-80’s) if interested:

Thanks for the info on carrier. Small boats only, in there, next time.
Dispersed airbases is the project that all the other updates are waiting for. We plan to tackle that and more realistic 80s Cold War load out/OOB.
Some terrain changes and work have been discussed for dispersed AB, and it is do-able with squadron size and mountain highway tunnel AB. All can be done.
All the tiny , not realistically placed roads are going to stay on Nordic ( maybe depends on 4.34) , and better highway sys that will be matched to real highways, will be placed on as well.
It will be a big project and is kind of up in the air right now.
Thanks for the vid!
Cheers

Wow, sounds extremely promising. The NTO 2.1 campaign was the most difficult campaign to win for me and I have done them a bunch (ask my wife and kids )

Remove all ARH missiles and datalink in the cold war theater(CWC)…
Remove some weapons that do not exist during the period of cold war.

I think that you can put a good F-14 for a tomcat lover’s
