A bad day mission for the 109e4

[Billsponge1972]

In keeping with my penchant for novelty type missions, here's my latest. It's meant to be a sort of sandbox mission with lots of action at the airfield. Play with icons on or off. It's on the small lapino map flying the 109-E4 in mid 1942. Totally non-historical but I did make an attempt to get only aircraft from 1942 or before. 

 

 

Enjoy!

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong version which keeps crashing to desktop because of too many linked entities. 😐

Anyway, please download version 2

Thanks Bill sponge,  What is the installation path.

 

Cheers

Copy mission files to your root installation directory in 1C studios/Il-2 great battles/data/missions folder.

Don't know why but I've had two unexpected CTDwith this mission..I guess that's better than my lead aircraft who's fate is quicker and more final...🤔

[Billsponge1972]

Crap. I thought I had fixed the CTD because of too many linked entities. I'll take another look at it.

[Blitzen]

Thanks ...Still sad for that chap with engine failure on takeoff- he could have been a big help...

[Billsponge1972]

I was kind of cheating with that one. Since there is no engine failure modeled, I gave him just enough fuel to get airborne. Problem is sometimes he crashes to the ground still alive and proclaims "I'm out of fuel!". Ha!

Sounds like his ground crew should be off for a posting on the Eastern Front for their little boo-boo!

[Billsponge1972]

Ha!

My favorite is if you let them, the AI IL2s will bomb the airfield practically into oblivion. All six have unlimited ammo and object durabilities on the airfield are set pretty low! I wonder if that has something to do with the CTD. 🙄

Let them in ? These 'iron"Il-2 are unfortunately not the stuff of Fairey Battles ...Shooting them down with thw armament of the E-4 is nearly impossible esp all by myself...

( I guess that bumblimg ground vrew won't be posted tp the eastern front after all- they'll all be very dead ...)

[Billsponge1972]

Yep, it is a challenge. A few other E4s do take off belatedly to help you. You can land and RRR and I found that you have to at least twice. But truth be told, all you have to do is damage three of the attack il2s and the mission will be accomplished.
