Air Attack Nightmare

[NeonsStyle]

Hey

I've put WoS on, and OMG I'm not even past Midway
on my first patrol and the constant, and I mean constant
planes mean the only way I can travel is real time.

Surely there's a mod that will get rid of the planes, or at
least make it more realistic. I've tried tweaking the config
file for it but to no avail, I've used another mod, but that doesn't
work with WoS I don't think.

Anyone have any ideas???

Yes, this is one of my least volume of airstrike files; practically no aircraft as I can remember. Edit the numerical values in Airstrike file as in the following COPY below, and create a MOD with this path to paste into the JSGME MOD folder: myAirstrike Mod\Data\Cfg\AirStrike (your edited file as below). Then enable this new Mod while in base.

NOTE: Once you try it, you can adjust values to your preference. Note that I have left previous used values between the brackets ([ ]) in the COPY below.
Maximum Aircraft Range=300;
Default Air Strike Probability=3;
Enemy Air Strike Probability Increase on Radio Messages Sent=40;
Enemy Air Strike Probability Increase on Player Detection=30;
Atenuation Factor=3;
(decrease the preceding numbers to make game easier; increase numbers to make game harder).
Logic Steps Between Air Sessions=40;
(increase this number to make game easier or decrease to make game harder).
Night Modifier=0.005;
(set to near zero because Japanese aircraft made almost no flights at night, increase from 0.005 to 1.0 to obtain some night attacks).

(COPY of my almost NO "AirStrike" file:

[AirStrikeSettings] FOTRS Ultimate
; AirStrike Creation Parameters
; Airstrike Session:
; 1. Compute airbases in range according to their aircraft maximum ranges
; 2. Compute air coverage factors on allies/axis/neutral on the target zone
; 3. Compute airstrike probability from each base
; 3.1 check number of aircraft that can strike at that range and conditions, and compute a coverage factor based on the range of each aircraft type and detection area around submarine (10 km radius)
; 3.2 multiply coverage factor for the target area with :
; - current airstrike probability againt that side
; - nigft factor ( if necessary )
; - airbase competence
; - close to airbase factor
; 3.3 check probability for airstrike
; 3.4 add more aircraft probabilistically for a large target

Thank you Sir, Much appreciated.
