how to increase the air coverage ???

[jean74]

Hi every one,

I want to gradually increase the number of aircraft from 1943.
What files I have to change ? :hmmm:

Many thanks in advance for your reply, :salute:

Best regards,

You may add more air bases via "SH3Mision Editor" or increase number of aircraft in The cfg files for Air groups.

For example - Large Air base USA. You can open cfg file:
Data/Land/LAB_LargeAirBaseUS/LAB_LargeAirBaseUS CFG

Open file marked green in windows notepad and You see something simmilar to this from vanila SH3:

[Unit]
ClassName=LargeAirBaseUS
UnitType=406
MaxSpeed=0.000000
MinSpeed=0.000000
Length=1
Width=1

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19420601
Squadron1Class=LBSPBYCatalina
Squadron1No=18

[AirGroup 2]
StartDate=19420602
EndDate=19440101
Squadron1Class=LBSPBYCatalina
Squadron1No=18
Squadron2Class=LBB24Liberator
Squadron2No=12
Squadron3Class=TBAvenger
Squadron3No=6
Squadron4Class=FBP38
Squadron4No=6

[AirGroup 3]
StartDate=19440102
EndDate=19451231
Squadron1Class=LBSPBYCatalina
Squadron1No=24
Squadron2Class=LBB24Liberator
Squadron2No=12
Squadron3Class=TBAvenger
Squadron3No=12
Squadron4Class=FBP38
Squadron4No=12

Orange numbers = numbers of aircrafts in squadron.
You can increase it:yep:.

Also You can look in this file [open via windows Notepad];
Data/Cfg/Air Strike CFG

See what is in this file. You can increase some settings like air strike probability, but be careful with it.

And if You decide to change thouse files remeber to backup Your orginal files!!!!!

One more thing. if You are in the career, then you can damage your current game save.:know:

Good morning Evan82

Many thanks for your help.

I will try your suggestions. I didn't know that a file exist in Data/Cfg.

Thanks again for your help,

Best regards,

Jean

You should be extremely careful because the smallest adjustment can often lead to either little or no aircraft to a huge swarm.

Increase the number by (airstrike probability) only a small margin.

You want more aircraft?:o

ALAAARRRMMMM!!!

You may add more air bases via "SH3Mision Editor" or increase number of aircraft in The cfg files for Air groups.


these lists in the "Land" there is nothing on "GLOSTER Gladiator" and "Swordfish". In the game there, but there are no lists

[Jimbuna]

The Anson and the Swordfish are amomg two of the most common types of aircraft available from the outset of war.

yes, but the list: data/land/airbase GB large-normal-small, swordfish is not present, how do increase the number of these planes?

:rotfl2::rotfl2: too funny i was thinking the same thing, he's been playing too much in 1939/40 lol

[U-SERB]

Where is more historical acurate air coverage? In NYGM or GWX? I played inshore campaing with GWX, 11th flottila, januar 1945 and my destination was BF14.... From Bergen to grid BF14 I don't see any plane...?!?!?!

I mean, good for me, but I doubt that is historicall true....

[theroc44]

your time compression is too fast try to stay around 128X and you will see planes lol

[U-SERB]

That is not reason cos I haven't seen any plane. I don't say that I was attacked without seeing plane, I say there is not any plane, and I spent lot of time on the surface between Faroes and Island....

So what you think where is more realistic air coverage in NYGM or GWX?

[Jimbuna]

Below is a snapshot of Bergen in Feb 45 and a flight of B-17F on their way to bomb the harbour.

Further south as well as in the English Channel and Irish Sea there are regular fighter patrols.

Open up the ME at your chosen date and run the game throught it to see all the layers working in whatever tc you wish.

Oh yes, I forgot bombing of Bergen at the start of my patrol... Sorry my mistake...

Thanks Jimbuna, but, I wish to know is it more realistic and historical correct air coverage in NYGM or GWX?

[Jimbuna]

I can't speak for the NYGM mod but I can say we made GWX as historically accurate as the game parameters allowed us but the facts of the matter dictate that many thousands of sorties were flown during the war years and it would be impossible to replicate those figures on a desk top computer.
