Bombing Stalingrad

[FS_Fenice_1965]

I am trying to build a missions about the Stalingrad bombing on 23 august 1942.

In old IL2 was very simple to add wagons inside the buildings and setup with FBDJ an area as an objective to destroy. 

Here the mission scenary buildings are already bombed...I have tried to put some of the blocks above the destroyed areas, but it looks ugly , because the blocks does not seem to appear coming from the same areas and do not cover the ruins properly.

Is there a different technique to build a mission like this ?

Also, is it possible to setup area objectives ? Is the counter MCU the only way to setup objectives ?

Yep, adding the undamaged building blocks to the destroyed city is visibly strange. 

 

In the north Barrikady section and the central section of the city there are still a few factories and large warehouses that could be used for the target areas. You could use clusters of  Fake_Blocks within them. The Fake_Block are very small as you probably know. Setting their damage number to 5000 to 8000 and in clusters with "on killed event" linked to counters would be one answer.

 

Although I'm not exactly sure what you mean by area objectives. I've had success using multiple counters for several different groups added together which work well for multiple objectives.

 

Good Luck,

Thank's Tip. 

I think that you have catched what I meant for area objectives (in IL2 you could put a target "destroy ground" that looked like a circle on the map. All the stationary objects inside where considered as target and you could set the percentage of destruction to consider the objective fulfilled).

If I understood correctly now you can link a counter to a group and link counters each other, so that when a counter has finished, starts another counter, linked to another group of objects, and when all the counters have finished the mission rolls.

I'll follow your suggestions and try to work it out.
