Unit Information and Czar for PWCG

[thrila]

Pat,

 

I've recently started work on a spreadsheet containing monthly breakdown of RAF Fighter Command/ADGB/2TAF Order of Battle including aircraft type and airfield location (including county and region to aid those not familiar with the UK)

 

At present it contains data for Jan 42, Jan 43, Jun 43, Jan 44, Jun 44, Jul 44 and Jan 45.  From the books I own and data available online I have enough material to flesh this out fully in the long term.

 

Is this of interest to you?

Yes, but not if it's a lot of work for you.  Mostly for the squadron names.  I do not do absolute historical accuracy in PWCG.  Airfield assignment, for instance, has more to do with gameplay than reality.  Still, that information would allow me to fine tune aircraft introduction dates and I do have the ability to change a squadron's name over time.

I've attached what I have so far. 

 

I've made it so you can sort or apply a filter at the top of every column e.g. select only southeast and east region of England for a general overview of what squadrons and their respective aircraft participated in the Normandy map.

 

Longer term I'll fill in the the gaps between the months already completed. There are bound to be errors or contradictions because sometime sources contradict each other or are just wrong and  human error from my end too.  Happy for anyone to let me know if there are mistakes. 

 

Let me know what you think.

Hey Pat,

I'm reading Peter C. Smith's book on the Stuka and it had an interesting quote from Rudel about sorties over Stalingrad.
Namely that by the afternoon the Soviet AA died down as they presumably ran out of ammo.
I don't know if this is already included in the mission parameters or if that's even possible.

@Artfactial At no point does PWCG change ammo availability based on time of day.

I understand that.
But maybe it could be implemented as less active AA, spawning less ground units for missions generated later in the day?

You'd need to check but I believe you could do that via campaign preferences prior to deciding to generate a mission later in the day. You would need to set the preferences back before doing a morning mission.
