Adds historical air strikes to the campaign of RFB from 1941-45, with new markers on the map, inform the player about coming air strikes and included also messages of historical sunk dates of US U-boats!
So all in all, its a small mod which I have made years ago to add a bit more atmosphere and action to SH4 and RFB!

Changes V1.1
--------------------
1.Added more historical air strikes for the USN!
2.No more night air strikes!
3.Reduced the spawn probability for air strikes against Harbors!
4.Added historical japanese airfields to the campaign! Each airfield has a 80% probability, that one japanese air strike will created at daylight!
And each flight of an air strike has a 50% probability that he will created! No additional generic sea patrols are generated from all these airfields!

Changes V1.2
-----------------------
1.Reduced height from 5000 to 3000 for some strike groups (AI couldnt find ships above a certain height!)

Changes V1.3 (Only RFB2/RSRD version)
--------------------------------------
Added japanese aircraft with better behavior for torpedo attacks and replaced some older dive bomber planes with the "Judy"!

A great addition. It cannot be emphasized enough how important the factor of air attacks was in the minds of ship commanders in the Pacific, the sobering examples of the losses incurred to German air action in the Med and the superb effect of air on sea assets in the Pacific by the Japanese who sank just about everything in sight at the opening of the war....mos of it from the air, was always on the minds of captains at sea in any class of vessel. well done.

Will give this a try for sure!

@Admiral von Gerlach
Yes and it was first inspired from the the end of "Das Boot", as the captain looked anxious to the sky . . .

I must admit, I still play RFB 1.4 because I have a very stable install with all the extra mods, difficult to give up . . .
But I have downloaded RFB 2.0 and RSRDC_RFB_V575 and checked the aircraft classes, type number and loadouts and compared it with the current V1.4 "SH4_air_strike.mis" file!
Its all the same, saw no differents in such entries between the versions! The extra markers and new entries for the message.text file should work at any rate in all versions!
I think you should give it a try with RFB 2.0 and RSRDC_RFB_V575!

Maybe a version for TMO?

It seems that some aircraft loadouts in TMO are different to RFB . . .
If a demand for the mod is, I'll buy the 1.5 addon and check the .mis file!

Hi,
