Section V (Former airfields) is what we need

Thanks to Vlad I was able to locate a couple of atlases of WWII-era Soviet airfields in Google Earth format.

The first one is relative to Finnish and Soviet airfields used during the winter and continuation wars (Baltic and Barents sea areas). Dowload link:

http://www.virtualpilots.fi/en/featu...s_20061124.kmz

(after installing Google Earth, double click on the kmz file to see arfields' locations and names on the world map; yellow icons = Finnish, red icons = Soviet).

The second project is much more complete, as it includes most of the know Soviet airfiled, as well as a good number of other European and Asian airfields used by various WWII belligerents. Each nation is denoted by its flag. Most airfields got notes (mostly in Russian , some in English). Download links:

http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/attachmen...7&d=1342975208
http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/attachmen...3&d=1377568597

(copy the 'icons' folder from the first link into the Google Earth's installation folder, and double click on the kmz file from the second link).

At this point I believe we have more Russian airfield locations than we need

This is great guys - many thanks

Still to do: connecting the aircraft I have listed yesterday to the airfields that they historically were based in.

If you get time, could you please organize data in columns? i.e. squadron / station(s) / type and number of aircraft operated which were in conditions for flying. One row for each squadron. Also, as I understand it, the links that I provided are relative to June 41. Could you check if you find later orders of battle within the same website

Sorry Gabriele , I still don't feel myself well enough and I can't spend much time in front of PC.. If any help still needed I can help a little, just say what exactly needed..

Looks good Serge
I will use these in the next patch

@all
This update that Serge has provided will change all the missions where you are requested to sink a ship in your patrol area to just patrol for 72 hours.
This will be a direct switch so other missions (other type i.e. drop of supplies) will still be there as normal

As I understand this, it will require new translation.. am I right?

I'm worried, will there be a marker on the map.
Do you need to make for other campaigns?

I have not tested, but it looks ok to me.
The mapmarkers (patrol_zone1) etc will be the position for the objective - the objective is not hidden.
The objective type (o) will use the correct patrol marker

So it should work ok

Other campaigns - yes please
I am not sure how you are making these changes, but the patrol/sink name are all the same. So where there is already a patrol/sink mission set as a patrol - rewriting it will cause no issue if you are using an editor to do this.

Excellent, when it is done, I'll let you know.

No problem mate. I am sorry to read that you haven't fully recovered from your surgical operation yet. I still need to understand from which bases and -for each base- in which periods the above planes were flown, but sincerely I am more concerned about your health.

Just an idea for immersion and better area designation: could you specify the patrol grid in therms of MQK quadrants?

British rockets almost ready. They will come in two versions, with AP and with SAP-HE warhead:



At this point I just need to model the rucks and suspension lugs.

I can look this info tomorrow or day after tomorrow, but I need (from you and Trevally) list of SU bases that will be included in the Campaign, so I can collect the info on specific bases/airfields..

Maybe Trevally has a better idea but -provided that we can access this kind of information- I would adopt a diametrically opposite approach, and I would introduce in game the bases within u-boat range that are known for having harbored at some moment the aircraft listed in this post, and especially the aircraft I have mentioned in my previous post.

Should we fail collecting such a detailed information, the plan B would be choosing some arbitrary airfields based on their vicinity to u-boat patrol areas, and giving them a random assortment of planes, based on aircraft availability data.
