Tk really needs to release this puppy ASAP!

More pics out, I would say that based on the amount is coming out that its coming soon.

will there be aerial refueling?

No

This is so sweet!

Red Storm Rising scenario, anyone?

Sadly with all of those beautiful tankers outthere

More:

There are no stock tankers. so no refueling.

I just reread "Red Storm Rising" and "Defcon One" to get in the right mood for SF2NA!
This and the Mig Alley Mod = anticipation beyond sanity

Neat. Thanks.

(I still don't believe you though, I always think of the waters of the St. Lawrence, which tend towards slate colours.. of course, I don't believe that Ireland/England could be that Green or that tropical countries are so bright either... belief is a hard thing to come by...)

Having sailed up that way, Iceland and off Norway in the spring times, you can add more grey to it and reduce the ceilings to scattered to overcast. I have seen beautiful sunny days in the mid Atlantic though and if you do go more south, then it does blue up more with nice skies.

Plus ya need the waves while watching a destroyer 2 miles away disappear behind a wave. Yes I know it won't matter flying above the waves to the pilots.

I like the look of the Kitchen coming in on the CG but I would like to see if the Harpoon will actually sea skim.

Ooh. Somebody on that Virginia-class CGN is about to have a bad day. I'll look forward to seeing what all ships are modeled here!

That would be California class CGN, notice the deckhouse on the foc'stle for ASROC, the MK13 instead of MK26 missile launcher (That being said I'd lve to see the Virgina class here)
Damn my age is showing... and why am I suddenly thinking Belknap class would be great aswell or the Truxton

Ah, I didn't notice that... I was looking at the aft hangar area. Also, don't forget the Bainbridge, Long Beach, and perhaps Knox-Class frigates as well. I could see some epic naval battles in the works...

I wonder if the Kirov will make an appearance? Is 1980 launch too late? Hope not.

Ooh, good point. I thought the game took place in the 80's anyway? How about some Sverdlovs while we're at it too?

How about ships firing chaff? Chaff CHARLIE Chaff DELTA? huh? Can always hope.

Sverdlov's would be nice, also Kynda CG's ,aybe toss in a few Osa II for coastal work around Iceland, good 20mm targets.
Hell I would love to see the danish Frigate Peder Skram there, 4x Mk38 dual 5 inch, 4x 40mm Bofors depth charges and 4x TT's or use the modernised version ('82 saw her after the refit at Elsinore shipyard in Denmark, was a beautiful ship... sank a vacation home area are with an RGM-84 Harpoon in 1984, a commander was made scapegoat and lost his job (he did not launch the weapon but he failed to prevent the yeoman from turning the arming swith on a faulty panel, fortunately the missile went south west instead of southeast were the first eligible target had been the coolant targets on the swedish Barsebäck nuclear power plant) replaced one Mk38 with 2 quad harpoon lau's and added an after 8 cell NATO Srea Sparrow launcher One is moored in Copenhagen harbour as a museum today

Yikes

I wonder how long will we have to wait for it to be released? Is the number of flyables known (besides the spectacular Tomcat)? Not seeing any screenshot of the cockpit tells me that there's still a lot of work to be done... But I can wait for the succesor of Microprose's Fleet Defender (I used to play it for hours even after many years after it's release). Who remeber the mission in Oceana where you were tasked with intercepting a bogey on the Halloween and there were a chance that it would either be a flight of Mig-21 (IIRC), an UFO or a famous lost Flight 19 of Avenger torpedo bombers. Good times...
