[MOD] BF109G4/R6 by default in BOK career Mode

[MarcoPegase44]

 Hello,

 

When looking at the photographs of the BF109G during the Kuban battle in 1943, it seems that 80% Bf109 G4 are in version R6 (armament reinforced with 2 MG151-20 mounted in gondolas to fight against IL2).

 

This mainly concerns the G4 version, the G2 were equipped since summer 1942 in Stalingrad following a request from the Wehrmacht to the Luftwaffe to be better protected against IL2 attacks.

The Bf109 G2 R6 version, however, remains in the minority, while this is the case for the vast majority of BF109 G4 delivered in the spring of 1943 during the Battle of Kuban.

 

During 1943 the G6 R6 versions are very much in the minority in Kuban, the R6 version seems to start disappearing during the summer.

 

Thus equipped the BF 109 are a little less fast and manageable, but the supremacy of the BF109 is still sufficient during the first half of 1943 to counter the Soviet planes.

 

On the other hand the effect is terrible and makes it possible to knock down quickly an IL2 or a bomber in 1 burst.

 

This mod equips by default in version R6 the Bf109 G4 of the player and the wingmen of his squadron for the campaign "BOK career mode" some is the mission, the BF 109 G2 remain in normal version.If your squadron is mixed in equipment G2 and G4, you will have the 2 versions of armament that will cohabit.

 

So the "BOK career mode" seems to me to give a more historical atmosphere.

 

This mod also removes bombs for YAK 1 and 7 and LA5. These were never equipped in operation following a directive of 1942, being content with machine guns and cannon for the ground attack, the same for BF 109G. The ground attack bomb is reserved for the FW190.

To put in the Mod folder for activation via JSGME

Hi Marco, I like your idea ?

 

Could you please elaborate which string is responsible for the plane loadout? Is it [ammo_eff] set to 3,1.0 which selects the 20mm gondolas in the G4s? 

 

[plane="Bf 109 G-2"]
        config="LuaScripts\WorldObjects\Planes\Bf109G2.txt"
        [period]
            period="1941.01.01","1942.10.31"
            plane_eff=0.55
            fuel=984242,10.0
            modifications_required=0b000000
            modifications_denied=0b010000
            ammo_eff=0,1.0    

[plane="Bf 109 G-4"]
        config="LuaScripts\WorldObjects\Planes\Bf109G4.txt"

            ammo_eff=3,1.0
        [end]

Hello,

Thank you for the compliments

The line that generates the aircraft equipment option is:

  modifications_required = 0b000010

Conversely to prohibit certain equipment is the line.

modifications_denied = 0b000000

The type of equipment is designated by the numbers "0" and "1"

To find the correct position of the figure "1" I had to proceed by feeling.

For the line "ammo_eff = 3,1.0", I do not know exactly what it defines, a priori it is ammunition

This only works for the player's plane and the AIs of his squadron, I did not find how to modify the other AI's aircrafts.

I would love to modify the appearance of the two-seater version of the IL2 Mod 42 from October 1942 in the mod carrer randomly, but I did not manage it.
That would add surprise in the IL2 AI attacks

Hi Marco,

 

So finding it was basically try & error. Thanks for explaining ?

Nice mod. I am using it.

I wonder if it is possible to somehow set the weapon options for enemy bots? If I myself play for La-5 in the Kuban, then the faceted cockpit canopy and the boosted engine will automatically turn on. But when I play for the Luftwaffe, I come across regular La-5s, no boosted engines.

Good evening,

 

Thank you for these compliments.

 

My mod only work for the player's squadron.

 

To modify the AI of other squadrons and enemies, you must modify the "action" file in the "cfg" folder of the campaign you want to play (put in the "15" subfolder for the Kuban campaign).

It's a big job and sometimes you have to start over with each game update.

 

Se the file attached

actions.zip

 

Please note that these files must be updated to take into account the new planes: Hurricane, Yak9 which must be added to the file.

I haven't updated them.

Thank you very much! I replaced all the WMMask values for La-5 in the original file with 81 (1->1010001=81). And it worked!
