Project Southern Cross

The ultimate expansion pack for the Royal Australian Defence Forces Mod Pack

This mod pack is a huge collection of all of the alternate history mods I have made to date, now all together, refined and in one easy to maintain and operate mod pack. Designed to work as a standalone mod, but is perfectly suited to use in conjunction with the Royal Australian Defence Forces mod made by skyblazer which I assist with.

• Load NTU first, this mod uses many assets from there.
  
• Load this mod 2nd, above the RADF mod.
  
• Load the Royal Australian Defence Forces Mod after Project Southern Cross, as some of the content alters a few of the alt-history RADF units.
  
• I highly recommend you do not run any of my individual mods that are marked as [RETIRED] while using this mod pack as they are now integrated and are no longer being actively worked on.

Anything else should be fine, it may be a good idea to load the Royal Navy Mod pack above this mod however I have tested this mod together with it and so it should work okay.

This mod contains a range of units, from very plausible 'what-ifs' such as an ex-HMS Invincible which was set to replace HMAS Melbourne in 1982-1983 and become HMAS Australia, a deal was signed in 1982 but was cancelled after Britain opted to keep Invincible after the Falklands. Another asset in this mod include something inspired from a paper ship, the cancelled Australian Light Destroyer Project (DDL), with the remainder being concepts from my own imagination and other possible 'what-if' purchases or upgrade projects that accompany many of the units in the mod.

• HMAS Australia (ex-HMS Invincible) 1983+ - a robust STOVL carrier
  
• HMAS Australia (ex-HMS Hermes STOVL) 1984+ - a powerful STOVL carrier
  
• HMAS Australia (ex-HMS Hermes CATOBAR) 1970+ - a very powerful light carrier
  
• HMAS Melbourne 1984-1999 - a 'what-if' concept if she was modernised rather than scrapped
  
• HMAS Borneo 1981 - a concept ex-HMS Bulwark configured as a Landing Platform Helicopter
  
• HMAS Canberra 1968+ - a concept ex-USS Springfield (Providence-class CLG) including a 1980s refit
  
• Quickmatch-class Flight I 1975+ - a 'what-if' successful DDL project (ASW Destroyer)
  
• Quickmatch-class Flight II 1982+ - 'Bataan-subclass' of the above (AAW Destroyer)
  
• Gallipoli-class 2001 - ex-Kidd-class, was seriously considered as a replacement for the Perth-class

• A-4AU Super Skyhawk Mk.1 & Mk.3 - a concept licence built Skyhawk if CATOBAR operations continued
  
• Mirage IIIO(W) - a concept upgrade with improved radar, missiles and Maverick integration
  
• S-2G Tracker improvements - concept Harpoon upgrade and Turbo Tracker upgrade (stats only)
  
• Gannet AEW.3 - a 'what-if' purchase to operate from HMAS Australia CATOBAR
  
• Gannet AEW.7 - a 'what-if' license-built upgrade to operate from refitted HMAS Australia CATOBAR
  
• Sea King AEW.2A & AEW.5 - a 'what-if' purchase to operate from STOVL carriers and refitted Melbourne
  
• Sea King Mk50B+ - a concept ASW upgrade to operate from refitted carriers
  
• Wessex AH.1 - a concept armed utility Wessex to operate from HMAS Borneo
  
• Seahawk enhanced - concept upgrades to the Seahawk to improve ASW abilities

✅ Custom and kitbashed units with powerful upgrades and refits

✅ Perfect for creating alt-history Australia focused scenarios
✅ Ideal for including in alt-history Cold War or Pacific flashpoint scenarios with other mods

✅ Ranging from realistic 'what-if' acquisitions to creative concepts
