Dynamic campaign question regarding battle of kuban

[SvAF/F16_lassekongo]

Hi im a new user here and i would be really grateful if someone could help me as i am wondering how i can get the dynamic campaign mode. 

 

The question i have is if PWCG is avaible for the steam version of battle of stalingrad and if i need to buy BOTH battle of moscow and battle of kuban to be able to acces the dynamic campaign that the developers have created. Also if someone here owns both expansions and thus have this dynamic campaign do you think it is better than pwcg ?

Hello and welcome ! 
 

The dynamic campaign you are looking for is the career mode, you should see it from the main menu. 

There is a career mode for each title. BoM, BoS, and BoK.

 

It is possible if you own all three titles to go through all three careers with a single pilot.

 

PWCG is very good. I currently prefer the in built career mode simply because I play in VR and I keep my headset on between missions. PWCG requires some alt tabbing between missions here and there.

If you want to play the kuban career, you will need to purchase BoK

 

Hope this helps

To be accurate, it is not a dynamic campaign mode.  It is randomly generated set of missions based on a series of generic templates.  Roughly six for every type of aircraft such as fighter, bomber and ground attack aircraft.

Yes, you are not going to change the outcome of the war, but it should immerse you enough that you feel like you are taking part in a piece of history. Squad mates will live and die around you so it's dynamic in that sense, if your squadron loses too many planes / pilots, you will need to wait for them to be replaced.

 

I like it

Thank you both for answering my question so quick this seems like a really nice community :). So if i get this right the only way to get the carrer mode where my squadron and my combat records are taken into account is to buy both the kuban and the moscow version. And do either pwcg or the built in carrer mode affect the enemy ground forces or the frontline in any way. And last if you say start the campaign with moscow first do you unlock each plane and the upgrades for it acoording to a leveling system bound to your performance in missions ?

[Herne]

The career is accessible for any package. If you own BoS, you can play the BoS career right now. If you own the others you will be able to choose which career you want to play.

 

The front line does not move as a result of your success or failure, but rather how it did in history. Dev's did a significant amount of research, you'll have access to weekly news clippings giving you an idea of what was going on.

 

When you pick a career, you can fly as any of the aircraft in the title's planeset. So it could be ground attack, fighter, or bomber, for either side. Germans have the JU52 if transport missions are your thing. There is a lot of potential for you to enjoy multiple careers within the same title for different sides and different roles. 

I hope you like it.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention there is even an Iron Man mode which can be a challenge trying to keep your pilot alive and not captured from start to finish

Campaign mode is accessible to each module released in the BoX series be it Moscow, Stalingrad or the Kuban.  The client is the same for all of those modules and future ones and as such, any update or new feature that is not a plan set or map's will be updated across all titles.

 

i.e. when you purchase Battle of Moscow, or Stalingrad or Kuban, you get all of the modules but your purchase gives you a key to only unlock the one you have purchased.  When you buy others, they are unlocked from what you already have on your computer with the initial purchase.  This means all updates and new tech from upcoming modules effect previous modules so the product is constantly being improved and worked on.  Even after release.  A good system in my eyes.

There are a lot of similarities between the game campaign and PWCG.  Quite a few differences too.  Try both.  

 

In both cases, to use an airplane or a map you have to won the product.  The game will not allow you to fly a plane or fly a single player mission on a map that you do not own.

 

PWCG does not model impact to the ground war.  It does model impact to air personnel and equipment.  I believe that the in game campaign does this also.

 

PWCG models pilot injury as anything from invulnerable to dead is dead.  Players choice.  Unless changed by the player PWCG models maximum injury as "badly wounded", meaning that you will miss a few months of action if you are badly hurt. That seemed like enough of an incentive  to fly carefully without killing off a good career.

 

The central point to PWCG missions is that every flight is flying a route, actually or virtually,  and going about its business.  There is never a case where the planes are behind a trigger at a set coordinate waiting for you to come along.  This means that all sorts of things can happen in a mission.  You  might be in a fight and suddenly be joined by more enemies or friendlies.  The missions are on the one hand heavily randomized and on the other actual missions with flight profiles that make sense.   You  might even see a Ju52 every once in  awhile :).

All good, but please just remember it's career mode, not campaign mode.

So if i get this right the number of say ground units or enemy airplanes you destroy has no effect on the number of ground forces or airplanes the enemy has if you destroy alot of them during a mission in neither pwcg or carrer mode. And if so is there any type of mod that has this feature ?

[PatrickAWlson]

Airplanes yes, ground units no.

I think it would be kinda of wrong to model the player (and his squadron) being able to directly influence the pace of the ground war on the Eastern Front.  There's just too much going on there IMO.   You're up there doing your job as part of a wider effort.  I can see the appeal of knocking out 5 Tigers in one mission and seeing the front creep up as the Red Army attacks, but to me that sounds more like a video game and less like a Career as a pilot in a wider conflict.
