Luftwaffe WW2 Career 1940-45 - Part01 Battle of France

[kraut1]

 

This is my current pilot career

I will release the parts step by step after they are completed and I have flown the missions.

In IL-2 it is just 1 Campaign and the released missions of a new parts have to be copied into the existing campaign folder.

At the end I hope to have created a complete WW2 career from 1940-1945, but will it take ca. 1 - 2 years I suppose.

Each user / pilot can customize this campaign by adding self created missions, only mission naming syntax to be considered.

If a user / pilot does not own a IL-2 module that is used for a Part he can skip this Part or add self created missions.

The missions will be mostly generated with Easy Mission Generator by Vander or with my EMG Modifications.

How to be flown:

-with realistic settings

-without HuD

-All information by Radio Messages

-Detailed description of mission design: see below.

-The Ailevels are low, but you have to survive many, many missions.

 

-Part 01: Battle of France (12 BF109-E3 Missions)

Modded by me: weapon mod, e.g.: MG-FF with standard HE shells (no mine shells)

Static french planes, british Bedford, Universal Carrier without white stars, "British" Cruiser Tank (Pz38t) on basis of a skin of @DetCord12B and for the BF109-E3 a small cockpit change without hint for "Automatic Propeller Unit".

How to fly the BF109-E3 (E7):

fly with realistic settings, manual propeller controll and set weapon convergence to 200m

-Part02: Battle of Britain (Work in Progress)

(After my current pilot was lightly wounded during the attack on Calais, I will continue either with BoB Kanalkampf or Adlertag)

 

 

Further Information about campaign design / how to fly:

Suggestion how to fly the missions:

-I have flown each mission with Monitor or VR directly as campaign mission without testing.

-flight time: ca. 15-30minutes

-after enemy contact you can decide to fly home or to stay with your flight.

-but if you fly alone / seperated from your flight you will not be warned if the enemy attacks, better to return as fast as possible at low level...

 

 

 

 

General notes / information:

-Additionally installed in mission (+hints about german messages):

 

-Enemy plane reports by ground control (of course 1940 in BoF not accurate, only 10x10km grid from time to time)

example:

Hier ist Fuchs = Here is Fox

Nach Zielen suchen! = Search for targets!

im Planquadrat 1628 = In grid 1628

HI Kraut 1, Could you tell me what is the correct installation path for the download, I see that you mention JSGME as the install tool, I always associate this with installing Mods

 

Cheers

Hi BaglanBoy:

 

You have 2 downloads:

The Campaign folder has to be copied into your IL-2 Campaignfolder:

 

The Modification "1940 Battle of France Mod vC" has to be installed with JSGME as usual.

Are you already using JSGME?

 

[BaglanBoy]

Yes I have JSGME installed and have been using it for sometime to install mods

Wow. This INCREDIBLE campaign, work in progress, of course, will make the current Il-2 Sturmovik good for years to come! It's amazing. Wow & congratulations, gentlemen!

I have flown the first 2 "Kanalkampf" combat missions in July 1940 / early Battle of Britain with I.JG51:

This will be the next part of the campaign.
