DCS World: F-4E Northern Defenders Campaign

1985 - Following a sudden shift in Soviet leadership, the USSR abandoned détente and launched a full-scale invasion of Western Europe. West Germany fell within days, and most of the German Air Force was wiped out on the ground. Only a handful of squadrons managed to escape to Britain, regrouping for NATO’s last stand.

With Central Europe in flames, the Soviet war machine turned north. The Soviets goal: control of Scandinavia and the North Atlantic, cutting off NATO’s supply lines and forcing the West into submission.

In a desperate bid to halt the advance, NATO formed the Task Force Northern Defenders—a coalition of land, sea, and air units drawn from across the alliance. Among them, the remnants of the German Luftwaffe, hastily reformed and thrown into the fight.

As an F-4 Phantom pilot, you will engage in high-risk missions—from air superiority to deep strikes and close air support—fighting to hold the line and push the Soviets back.

Outnumbered. Outgunned. Not defeated.

The fate of Europe is in your hands.
