[REL] The Elite Campaign

[ddrgn]

Here we have a really simple mod that changes ALL the units in the stock SH5 campaign to ELITE.

FYI all units in all campaigns were set to "competent" with a select handful being "veteran".

This includes aircraft, warships and freighters. Friendly units are also ELITE now.

Changes were also made to the units sensors, weapons and tactics to allow them to be tougher.

For instance in Black May all units will use late war sensors, tactics and weapons.

In Happy times these sensors are set to early war.

This mod is sure to increase the abilities of your enemies and should only be installed if your looking for a real challenge.

Works great with my Feared Hunters and UHS mods if you want an additional layer or two of difficulty.

Funny you say that.

Some aircraft attack and some don't.

I am not sure this has anything to do with the crew-ratings.

I will start testing each aircraft and report. I don't remember which ones we got working in stock and which ones didn't.

Setting them to ELITE didn't change anything in regards to them attacking from what I saw in past experiences.

EDIT: the a/c I got attacking in stock with no problems are the _BR FB Hurricane Mk.IIc. Set at ELITE with 300 ft altitude and they attacked us with pretty good accuracy.

My single mission Convoy ON-115 has those aircraft working and attacking.

Updated for patch compatibility, download version 1.1.
