[MOD] Torpedoes for German Aircraft

[LizLemon]

 

Or, really the He-111h6, although any aircraft that carries the SC-1000 will also have a torpedo now. 

 

ISSUES;

1. Torpedoes will not be damaged from being dropped too high.

2. The dive time may be too high.

3. Data on the F5B is hard to come by, explosive power, weight, speed, ect may be wrong as well the visual appearance. 

4. Location on the 111 is slightly wrong, hanging down too low;

 

They may also be too far forward;

 

Drag and drop into install folder

Awesome!!!

 

I just had a quick look at the files:

Modifying the existing the existing "bomb_ger_sc1000" to act like the "ammunitionfornpc\npc_torpedo_53-38" is really genius! ?

 

I tried to create new ammo types but failed due to not-understandable dependencies to other binary files.

I will do some further investigation over the weekend if it would somehow be possible to make the torpedo as a new weapon modification - not as a replacement

(But I think to add a new ammo/weapon type to a plane you would need to edit "\luascripts\worldobjects\planes\he111h6.txt" => any editing of those files will cause a black screen for me when starting a mission (makes sense, as you could do lots of hacky stuff there ? )

 

Thanks again sir for your great mod & inspiration

Yes.

[DD_Arthur]

Wow?

[Chief_Mouser]

Been waiting for this since Kuban was released. Never thought I'd see it. Cheers. ?

[CanadaOne]

Sweet!

 

Thanks.

[Semor76]

 

Holy shit...

[JamieDodger]

Nice one! Can see I'll be flying the Heinkel a bit more often now!

[CountZero]

Good job, thanks. Next when V1 comes , putt it on He-111

I tried and failed with JSGME.

 

The downloaded folder put into the MODS folder doesn't show up in (my) JSGME and the unzipped shows only a "data" file that doesn't seem to do anything.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[rieper_420]

@CanadaOne: Create a new folder in your MODS folder named e.g. "He111Torpedo"

 

The folder structure should look like this:

 

..\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\MODS\He111Torpedo\Data

 

=> Then, start JSGME again - you will see a new mod called "He111Torpedo"

 

Best regards

@LizLemon - Lurking and following your work is always rewarding. This looks great. Keep it up.

I'll try that.

 

Thanks!

 

 

Edit: It works! Thanks. What an excellent mod. Caught the tail end of a cargo ship and "Kaboom!"

Sorry for the quality, best I could get for the moment.

 

[DD_Arthur]

Fantastic Liz!

 

 

Lets see, what else?  Certainly the 110G2 and doesn't one of the FW190's take a biggun'?

[DD_Arthur]

Okay; 110 yes.  190 no.

Fw 190 D12 could carry the big fish.

I am stunned by this Mod.It has been mentioned from time to time but to actually see it possible.I can only hope the AI gunners won't be quite as accurate as they have been in the past.Didn't I read somewhere that the Luftwaffe He-111's in Norway had several reasonably good sorties with torpedoes against the Murmank convoys & then one terrible one where AA was good enough to cause heavy causalities to the Luftwaffe?

Many many thanks can't wait to give it a go and hopefully my plane will have a life raft or two!

( BTW- Are these torps only available to equip German aircraft in QMB after installing through JSGME?)

[Beazil]

Wat?! How!? ?

 

 

Wat?

[Blitzen]

Pretty long tafe off run with these babies...but there they are on the He-111h-6!?

Will you be doing separate mods for the Ju-87 & 88?

You can select the torp option on the  ju 87, ju 88, He 111 h-6 and He 111 h-16 with this mod.

 

[Beebop]

THANKS!!!!!

 

Can these changes be made for the 250Lb bomb so we could have torps for the A-20 and  maybe the IL-2-M43?

[Habu]

Cool. ?

German only.  I checked in the QM.  Allied planes that carry big bombs (1000lb) do not have a torpedo option.

A pair of torps on a P-47 would look...well...odd to say the least.

However the P-38 historically could carry a pair of torps.

This says everything

 

BTW, thanks for this mod, LizLemon, sank two freighters on my fourth try. But you have to stay out of reach of ships with AAA, they are deadly for this slow and big crate.

Does anyone know, if what IL-2 1946 says about the historical use is correct, 250km/h at 40m altitude? I know, it doesn't matter in game, but I love to use things the way, they were used hisrorically .

Good job LizLemon.

 

I hope we will see torpedos officially added by the devs in BoN. Apparently many necessary elements are already in the game. Both KG 26 and KG 77 flew torpedo missions during the Normandy invasion, mostly with Ju-88A17, but they also had a few Ju-88A4 LT.

Not to gorget, finally added to the BOK career.

I don't think there were any German torpedo bomber units in the Black Sea area in 1943.

I hope too.

Torpedoes are a MUST and I'd like to see also mines, sea and land.

We could have missions or mine laying (both by air and sea) and sweeping.

Many missions can be build around them.

Yes - my mistake...I went back & chose the weapon load you suggested & viola there they were! Apologies to Liz Lemon!?

( Now if someone would only do a quick mission using them , perhaps with several equipped aircraft, more transport ships , less accurate AI gunners & maybe title it "Suicide with Torpedoes?")Only kidding but a quick mission would be fun to try...maybe to get the hang of when & where to release?
